[Currently, I’m reading
Chinghua Tang’s The Ruler’s Guide about the success of the timeless secret of Tang Taizong (598-649), China’s greatest
emperor. From each short excerpts, I explain about the leadership]
Shortly after Tang Taizong
ascended the throne of China empire, he said to Minister Xiao Yu, “I have been fond of archery since I was a
boy. I thought I knew everything about bows. A few days ago I received a dozen
bows. When I showed them to a bow maker, he told me they were not good bows. I
asked why. He said, ‘Because the heart of the wood is not straight, so the
veins are slanted. Although the bows are strong, they cannot shoot straight.’
“Then I realized even though I’ve been using bows for
so many years I really don’t know their secret. I must know even less about
governing a county.”
Richard: This realization
prompted him to not only hold daily meetings with cabinet ministers but “reach out frequently to junior officials as
well in order to learn more about what was going on in the country.” By
knowing how much you don’t know as a leader, you open the doors for more
knowledge and wisdom.
