Zizhi Tongjian: Pang Tong's superiority in the workplace!

Liu Zhang asked Liu Bei to attack Zhang Lu, and Liu Bei camped in Yemeng, and Pang Tong suggested to Liu Bei: "Now, we should secretly select elite soldiers, rush day and night, and directly attack Chengdu."

Liu Zhang's man did not understand the military, and he had never had any vision, and the sudden arrival of the army could be calmed down in one fell swoop, which was the best policy.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei were both famous generals under Liu Zhang, each leading strong troops, and according to the guard pass, I heard that they had written to Liu Zhang many times to persuade Liu Zhang to send the general back to Jingzhou.

The general sent someone to tell them that there was an emergency in Jingzhou, and that you planned to return to the rescue and have people pack some clothes, ostensibly making it look like they were going back.

These two men admired the general's name and were happy that the general was gone, and I thought they would come to see the general on horseback.

Taking the opportunity to capture them, annex their troops, and then march to Chengdu, this is the middle strategy.

It was the next strategy to retreat to the White Emperor City, unite with the forces of Jingzhou, and then slowly plan a way to advance into Yizhou.

If you hesitate to leave, you will fall into serious difficulties and cannot be delayed any longer. ”

Liu Bei agreed to adopt Pang Tong's middle strategy.

Pang Tong was valued by Liu Bei, not only because he was talented, not only because he was jointly recommended by Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, but more importantly, Pang Tong had his own superiority.

Don't look at anything else, just look at Pang Tong to Liu Bei to offer the middle and lower three strategies, this story, although old-fashioned, is a very representative case in the workplace.

Many people in the workplace, it is easy to make mistakes, always think that the solution they give is completely correct, so they argue with their superiors, making both sides very unhappy, and finally contributing to the effort is not gratifying.

The crux of the matter is here, for which plan to use in the end of the matter, the boss has the right to choose and make decisions, while as a subordinate, he only has the right to provide options, and cannot help the boss to make decisions.

In the Three Kingdoms, the most famous talent, Yang Xiu, was clever in his own way, instead of Cao Cao's orders, packed up and prepared to withdraw his troops, and finally was beheaded for disturbing the hearts of the army.

Obviously, Yang Xiu guessed Cao Cao's mind, and he also knew that the best plan at that time was to withdraw his troops, but he should not privately make decisions for Cao Cao.

This seriously violated Cao Cao's decision-making power, which made Cao Cao very unhappy, and Cao Cao did not allow it anyway.

Relatively speaking, Pang Tong is much smarter than Yang Xiu, and he also knows the thoughts of his superior Liu Bei, but he does not make decisions for Liu Bei, but provides three solutions to solve the problem, allowing Liu Bei to choose by himself.

Pang Tong's approach fully respected Liu Bei's right to choose and make decisions, and did not let Liu Bei have any discomfort, so he was reused by Liu Bei!
