Implement And Reorganize Periodically (ePub)

Using people based on friendship or talent are two different mottos. Using talented people, regardless of their status or grudges, as long as they are talented, they will definitely be used; Using people based on close relationships means only using close or close people, and using them based on initial trust. Using people as a measure is one of the reasons for the failure of many great heroes in history.

Because a person's close friends are limited, the selection of talented people among these people is of course few and not of high quality. On the other hand, we only focus on quantity and underestimate talent. Using people who value family relationships will of course lead to distrust of outsiders and even exclusion. Talent that is not trusted will definitely find another path. This is no different from giving talented people to your opponents, and as a result, you weaken yourself. Having or not having talented people is the key issue of victory or defeat.

Why does using talent rely on friendship? It's just because many people think that relatives can be trusted. However, we should understand that whether we trust or not depends mainly on the moral qualities of that person, not their relatives. In history, leaders did not know how to look at others when they encountered bad luck or failure. The people who sold them off or harmed them were often their relatives.
