I have always said that, in comparison, Cao Cao may be the best boss in the Three Kingdoms, why do you say so?
There is a person who explains it well, he is the "ghost talent" Guo Jia.
It is rumored in the jianghu that Guo Jia does not die, and Wolong does not come out.
This is not to say that Zhuge Liang was afraid of Guo Jia, so he only came out of the mountain after Guo Jia's death, I think this sentence is a relief to be able to continue, there is no withering period, but it is enough to show that Guo Jia's ability is no different from Zhuge Liang's top strategists.
On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was at a great disadvantage, and Guo Jia wrote a treatise entitled "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats".
This article completely turned the tide of the war, helped Cao Cao make up his mind, regained his self-confidence, and explained very well what kind of boss is a good boss.
01
Guo Jia's ten wins and ten defeats
The Battle of Guandu was an important turning point in Cao Cao's military career and a rather beautiful battle to win.
In fact, before the start of the battle, Cao Cao himself was also vain, after all, the disparity in troop strength was too great, and the people's hearts in Cao's camp were floating, at this time, Guo Jia's "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats Theory" appeared quite timely and stabilized the hearts of the army.
Guo Jia first came to a bowl of chicken soup, comparing Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Liu Bang was not as good as Xiang Yu except that his intelligence was a little higher than Xiang Yu, but in the end he still forced the powerful Xiang Yu to kill himself in Wujiang and founded the Han Dynasty.
Then there was the sharing of dry goods, proposing ten aspects of Cao Cao being stronger than Yuan Shao, and the character Zhujie.
Yuan Shao's etiquette is too much, Cao Cao is naturally decent, this is Daosheng;
Yuan Shao fought for the world with rebel forces, while Cao Cao used to revive the Han Dynasty to command the world, which was a righteous victory;
The han dynasty was due to the overly leniency in dealing with haoqiang, Yuan Shao was lenient and could not rectify the dangerous situation; while Cao Cao corrected the chaos and ruled the government strictly, and the whole army acted according to law, and strictly governed the government according to law, which was a victory;
Yuan Shao is magnanimous on the surface, but in fact he is suspicious and nepotistic, while Cao Cao appoints people on merit and employs people without doubt, which is a measure of victory;
Yuan Shao plotted a lot of judgments, and the failure was very slow in execution, while Cao Cao made a decision when the opportunity was made, which was a strategic victory;
Yuan Shao likes tout the disciples, selling fame and reputation, while Cao Cao treats others with sincerity and does not act as vain, which is moral victory;
Yuan Shao saw others being frozen and hungry, but he only felt sad, but he would not think deeply about the reason for this, just the benevolence of the woman; Cao Cao could see the big with a small view, and then come up with a way to solve it, which was Rensheng.
Yuan Shao's men fought for power and power, rumors confused and confused, while Cao Cao managed his subordinates with morality and system, which was a victory;
Yuan Shao did not distinguish between right and wrong, Cao Cao used "etiquette" to promote correct things, and mistakes were corrected by law, which was Wen Sheng;
Yuan Shaoshan bluffed, did not know the art of war, Cao Cao was good at less restraint and more, using soldiers like gods, soldiers trusting, this is a martial victory.
For these ten reasons, Guo Jia asserted that Cao Cao would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao.
And these ten points also fully illustrate that in terms of management, team building, and team leadership ability, Cao Cao has crushed Yuan Shao and is a rare good boss.

Five characteristics of a good boss
Looking at today's workplace, really excellent bosses and bosses who deserve to follow have these five characteristics.
1. Draw a flatbread
A good boss may not be an orator, but he must know how to draw a big pie.
The significance of painting a pie is to let his followers know what is the meaning of what he is doing, either a dream or a money, and the most cattle are of course both emotional and can earn money by the way.
At the same time, it also allows employees to understand their position in the team and the heights they are likely to reach, and what they will get.
If a management team always lets subordinates go forward with their eyes black, not only will it be difficult to mobilize work enthusiasm, but it is also likely to roll up and leave.
Cao Cao planned a very good blueprint, Kuang Fu Han Room, to save the people of the world, so there will be many aspiring people to come to serve.
2. Can make subordinates eat meat
A good manager must not only be able to draw a big pie, but also have a mind to share with everyone after the pie is made, otherwise he is a liar, a dishonest person, and a black-hearted boss.
Many people promise their subordinates very well on weekdays, but basically they will not fulfill it, and such a group is doomed not to go too far, which is determined by the pattern of managers.
Cao Cao never cut and search when rewarding subordinates, the greater the merit, the more rewards, while Yuan Shao was more critical and did not act in a grand manner.
3. Rewards and punishments are clear, fair and just
Dong Mingzhu said that managers have no friends.
Because good managers must be fair and just, they can't follow their feelings. If whoever has a good relationship with me is biased towards whom, then such a team cohesion and combat effectiveness are certainly not strong.
Cao Cao never cared about the relationship between this person and himself, Jia Xu helped Zhang Xiu kill his own son, used Jia Xu as much as he did, and really did the right thing and the wrong person, a battle was fought, who had any merit would be generously raised in front of everyone, and rewarded.
There are two advantages to doing this, one is to give the rewarded person a lot of face and maintain the passion to continue to struggle; the other is to stimulate others and stimulate their potential.
4. Broad mind, large belly
On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, the people of Cao Camp were panicked, and many people made contact with Yuan Shao and were ready to jump ship.
After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao publicly destroyed the intercepted letters, and none of them were taken down to see, which made the subordinates grateful and impressed by Cao Cao's belly.
Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan, and many people objected, believing that he would not win, but Cao Cao still listened to Guo Jia's advice and ventured to go, and as a result, he returned triumphantly, and did not ridicule or blame those who opposed him to send troops, but instead gave them a bonus, which was a great reward.
Cao Cao said, what you said is right, I can win this battle, it all depends on luck, so next time you still have to tell the truth as always and make more valuable suggestions.
This is a manager's mind, if the manager is always worried about subordinates, then the whole team is prone to such characteristics, when there is a problem with each other, there is no cohesion at all.
5. Attach importance to talents and know how to control talents
A truly good boss should know that talent is the core competitiveness and the most important asset in the team, and should be paid enough attention and kindness.
In the Battle of Guandu, Xu Youlai defected to Cao Cao, who was washing his feet and ran out to meet him before he could even wear his shoes.
In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated miserably, on the way to escape, seeing Xu Chu crying, Cao Cao said to him, the soldiers do not have me to give you another call, you come back alive, is what I care about most.
People have feelings, and sometimes the feelings cultivated in the process of moving forward together are more effective than thousands of gold, and the combat effectiveness of the team is also stronger.
I think that before the age of thirty, it is better to find a big company than to follow a good boss, even if he is still very weak and still starting a business, as long as he has these qualities, he is worth following.
It's important to follow the right people and do the right thing!
