太陽Tzu表達能力
由坦率的Claeys
在他的時間太陽Tzu是中國的皇帝的將軍。 一天他建議對皇帝做軍隊婦女。 他請求皇帝一千他的婦女。 皇帝，位猶豫，給了他們他。
太陽Tzu開始了他的第一訓練。 他在列預定婦女站立和前進。 婦女開始嘻嘻笑和笑并且違背了他的命令。 太陽Tzu想法; 他們不服從我的命令，這可能是通信突破口。 可能他們不瞭解命令或它是不明的。 我必須再解釋我的順序。 他再解釋了鑽子并且重覆命令前進。 婦女在線再嘻嘻笑了并且拒绝得到。 太陽Tzu發布了命令婦女的殺害500。 皇帝不是願意允許此，但是太陽Tzu闡明，他給他當局完成這項任務因此，并且是他的責任。 太陽Tzu創造了他的軍隊與剩餘的500名婦女。
T幾年後housands我由我的一個女性同事懊惱，因為她繼續忽略我，當向前她的商業報告時。 她簡單地拒绝向我報告並且忽略了我的營銷責任。 我認為太陽Tzu。 我足够清楚在傳達我的任務？ 我應該表示，我由她的行為憤怒并且懊惱？ In my frustration I wanted to chop off her head (in a figure of speech) but my master had taught me that I should explain my order again, friendly but forcefully, and wait for her reaction. If it is negative, I should intervene. I counted to ten and wrote her a friendly but forceful note that I would appreciate it, seeing my responsibilities, if she would add me to the forwarding list of messages about meetings with clients. Low and behold, since that email she always forwards her messages to me. Sun Tzu saved a life…

The point is well taken, but your story is off by 498 women. Sun Tzu only had to kill two of the King’s (not the Emperor) favourite concubines to get the rest to follow his orders without hesitation.
Sun Tzu was a young strategist at the time of the King of Wu (before China became unified under the first Emperor- Qin Shi Huang) and he was actually not trusted by the King who had won many wars. Since Sun Tzu claimed his principles & training applied in all situations, the King gave him the maids in waiting to see what he could do with them as a joke. After Sun Tzu dared to put both of the King’s favourite concubines (who probably got away with everything) to death, no one dared disobeyed Sun Tzu. The King of Wu was distraught but at the same time saw the ability and genius of the young man … and the rest of history.
