    “The three-day training has come to an end, but the real journey of learning in life is just beginning.” This is the latest post from Li Deyi of Zhengyi Automation Company on his WeChat Moments—and it perfectly captures the inner thoughts and genuine feelings of many trainees like me.

      “The three-day training has come to an end, but the real journey of learning in life is just beginning.” This is the latest post from Li Deyi of Zhengyi Automation Company on his WeChat Moments—and it perfectly captures the inner thoughts and genuine feelings of many trainees like me.

      From December 9 to 11, just recently concluded, in order to enhance the role awareness of managers who already lead teams or are about to take on team leadership roles and help them systematically acquire management skills, Zero One Business School invited Mr. Tan Zhaolin—China’s leading expert in executive leadership training—to conduct a three-day “Advanced Leadership Training Workshop.” A total of 52 participants, including employees and partners from Charoen Pokphand Machinery (Group), took part in this training.

      “An excellent leader takes employees to where they want to go, while a truly outstanding leader takes them to places they might not necessarily want to go—but places they really should.” This is a quote that has left a deep impression on me. Compared to the management philosophy of “leveraging people’s strengths,” my teacher Tan is truly remarkable. He encourages everyone to lead their team members in continuous self-improvement—striving for both livelihood and personal fulfillment—growing together and achieving win-win outcomes. Just like the “law of the barrel,” the amount of water a bucket can hold depends on its shortest stave. For a bucket to be fully filled with water, every single stave must be of equal length and free from damage. If even one stave is uneven or if there’s a hole beneath any stave, the bucket simply won’t be able to hold water. As a manager, having a holistic perspective means understanding every aspect of the company’s operations—not getting lost in one’s own work, isolated and oblivious to the world outside, blindly focused solely on studying classics while ignoring everything happening around you. By playing to our strengths and addressing our weaknesses, by letting go of the old and embracing the new, by constantly giving up some things and gaining others, we can better adapt to the challenges brought about by changing environments and maintain our core competitiveness over time.

      The unassuming “tricolor ball” is a new cultural trend. Nine consecutive throws—this is both the target requirement and a promise. Be sincere in self-cultivation, and trustworthy in establishing your life’s purpose. As a leader, say what you do, and do what you say; commit fully and responsibly to your tasks. Whether you pass or fail, or even if you haven’t yet found the right feel, methods, or techniques—there are no excuses. If others can do it, so can you. Learn to take full responsibility for yourself. Just how effective is your execution?

      A temporarily assembled leadership team, six distinct task forces, five “Tangrams,” scenario simulations—what exactly is board decision-making? What does it mean to operate independently? And what is true teamwork? After the exercise, we’ll reflect on: How were our goals achieved? What role did you play? During the activity, what went well, and what could have been improved? What insights and takeaways did you gain? Let’s celebrate the remarkable leaders who masterfully strategize and steer the entire organization!

      “Red and Black”—the choice may take only a moment, yet the outcome is already predetermined. There’s the subtle probing of each other’s attitudes toward winning or losing; there’s the unwavering confidence that victory is inevitable; there’s the melancholy of realizing that victory is hopeless; there’s the high-stakes gamble of putting everything on the line; and there are also outcomes that catch everyone by surprise. Just like in Go, “one wrong move can ruin the entire game.” Is it about benefiting oneself while also benefiting others? Is it about harming others to gain personal advantage? Is it about self-sacrifice for the sake of others? Is it about both sides suffering mutual losses? Or is it about each person looking after their own interests alone? Is it about parting amicably and gracefully? At the very beginning, what answer did you give yourself in your heart?

     

      “Mad Head Coach”—see how a fan transforms dramatically into a basketball head coach who consistently achieves victory after victory. Having heard, learned, and absorbed all this, have you found a practical starting point for action, or perhaps an opportunity to become an exceptional leader?

      The greatest truths are often the simplest. Inoue Kazuo’s Six Principles of Spiritual Cultivation are the epitome of simplicity and essence: 1. Make efforts no less than anyone else’s. 2. Be humble; never be arrogant. 3. Reflect on yourself daily. 4. As long as you’re alive, be grateful. 5. Accumulate good deeds and always think of others’ well-being. 6. Let go of emotional worries and troubles.

      I’d like to take this opportunity once again to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Teacher Tan Zhaolin for his generous and dedicated guidance, as well as to Zero One Business School for their inspiring sharing. At the same time, I’d like to encourage all of us—those who are committed to making a difference—to pursue excellence and never stop learning. When you encounter it, you’ll know.
