Chapter 118 Interaction Part 6
Unite as one, those who share the same desire win
That's why a square horse buries its wheel, and it's not enough to rely on; Qi and courage are as one, and the way of government is also true;Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, if they join hands to make one person, there is no other choice.

Whether a thing can be successful or not, most of it cannot be accomplished by the strength of one person, it needs the cooperation and joint efforts of all people.As the saying goes: earth helps soil to form a wall, and people help people to form a city. As long as we work together, we can produce the powerful power of "brothers are of one mind, and together they can break through gold".

The Beijing Olympic Games that just passed showed the whole world the atmosphere of unity among Chinese people, and the Wenchuan Earthquake once again proved that unity can lead to invincibility.Everyone actively donated money and materials, and "helping the victims" became everyone's wish.Why is everyone acting so in unison?It is precisely because we have the same goal in our hearts: to pass on love to those affected by the disaster, so that they have the courage to live.

Everyone has their own personality and habits, and they also have their own principles and ways of dealing with problems in daily life.When everyone works together for a goal, they will automatically hide the parts that don't fit in, and become tacit and friendly with each other.As the saying goes, "When the hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves." Wherever the goal is directed, there will be amazing power, as it is said in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": Those who share the same desire win.

The joint efforts of all people is also an important factor for victory in war. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" mentioned: It is unreliable to show the determination to fight by tying the horses together and burying the wheels deeply; it is unreliable to make the troops work together , Fighting bravely as one person, this is the way to govern the army; to make soldiers of different strengths and conditions capable of playing their role, the key lies in the proper use of favorable terrain.Therefore, those who are good at using troops can unite the whole army.

In order to be united as one, everyone must have common principles, goals and ideals, which is the "Tao" pointed out in the "Ji Pian" at the beginning of "The Art of War", which can make the team work together, live and die together, and not be afraid of danger .Doing anything requires a clear goal, especially for a team.If the leader can't come up with a goal for everyone to strive for, no matter in thought or in action, the whole team will lose momentum.Lenovo is able to develop and grow to today's trend by relying on the power of "same desire from top to bottom".

When Lenovo was first established, in order for Lenovo to grow as soon as possible, everyone paid unimaginable hardships.

There is no office, and everyone works in two small, cold bungalows regardless of position.With no place to live, everyone transformed the bicycle shed into a home by themselves.A female comrade in the company, in order to get business, came to beg people, her hands were trembling when she knocked on the door, and she was still thinking about how to put a smile on her face. Mr. Gan Hong, in his 40s, ran out with a high fever of 39 degrees in order to obtain an "import license" for a computer. He ran two times from 9:5 am to [-]:[-] pm. back and forth.When he finally got the "import license", his legs went limp and he rolled from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, his body was covered in bruises.In order to go to the airport to meet the distinguished guests from Hong Kong, he went out in the rain. Because he was reluctant to spend money to take a taxi, he waded through the water to the bus stop, but accidentally fell into the well, and the water covered his head and almost drowned.Liu Chuanzhi's wife had hyperthyroidism, and she was lying alone in the Friendship Hospital for surgery, and Liu Chuanzhi was far away from being able to stay with her...

It is the spirit of unanimity in goals, concentricity from top to bottom, and the behavior of not being afraid of difficulties and daring to challenge that has pushed Lenovo into the ranks of well-known enterprises little by little.An action without a goal is like a long journey without a purpose. It is powerful but does not know how to use it. As a leader, you must provide everyone with a common goal and direction, unite everyone closely, and strive for the goal and direction. Struggle, struggle. "Sun Tzu's Art of War? Nine Lands" pointed out that the person who commands the battle should be like a "fair" snake. "Shuran" is a kind of snake that grows in Mount Heng. If you hit its head, its tail will come to rescue; if you hit its tail, the head will come to rescue;I would like to ask: "Can the army be made to be like 'Shu Ran'?" The answer: "Yes. The people of Wu and Yue are hostile to each other, but when they cross the river in the same boat and encounter a strong wind, they rescue each other. The tacit cooperation is like human beings. left and right hand."

If everyone can regard the goal as a matter of life and death like the "frank" snake and the people of Wu and Yue who are in danger, they will naturally not have to worry about not being able to "share the same desire".
