The body stands firm like a mast, the feet steady like a boat; stretching and contracting like a whip, momentum surging like a billow.

The spirit, hidden, circulates as one vital breath like a ball; inhaling, exhaling, touching, covering—cold, sudden, explosive.

Facing the enemy, moving like a fish gliding through water; striking out, swift as flicking ash or hurling a hammer.

If they rush forth, I go first; in an instant, like an iron wedge piercing the spine.

——On Sun Family Tai Chi

As the ancients put it, mastery of kung fu can, in great matters, fend off countless foes, and in small, strengthen the body and fortify the bones. In 2018, Zhejiang Benefit Pharmaceutical, with Chairman Wu Lihua at its core, centered on Benefit's nine management principles, embodying the "new requirements and new endeavors" of the "new era". It strengthened the development of Benefit's cadre team in this new era, honing new skills to forge a new self.

On May 12, 2018, the third session of Zhejiang Benefit Pharmaceutical's cadre training program was held as scheduled, kicking off with the neat rhythm of the Benefit Clapping Exercise. Chairman Wu Lihua delivered the third training session, themed Closing Power · Closing to Win.

Three Pillars Form a Driving Force; Transform Oneself and March Forward Boldly

Setting an example with oneself, establishing oneself as a model—striving for perfection, there must be shortcomings. How to become a good employee and an outstanding manager? By establishing words, establishing actions, and integrating knowledge with practice. These three, working in concert, form an example. Driven by these three pillars, we set benchmarks for a language system of "respectful speech, sincere speech, warm speech" and an action system of "leading actions, exemplary actions, model actions". Guided by the integration of knowledge and practice as the standard for conduct and work, we transform ourselves through four aspects: "working proactively, embracing life with a smile, nurturing a spiritual self, and retaining childlike wonder".

Closing Power——The Ability to Resolve Problems

Practice teaches us that resolving problems is the inherent duty and mission of leading cadres. Work progresses through the resolution of one problem after another. To be a competent or even excellent leading cadre, one must enhance their ability to identify and resolve problems, and consciously regard discovering, analyzing, and resolving problems as the lifeline and value pursuit of leadership.

Closing to Win: A Three-Step Process

Establish thought, establish action, establish result!

Chairman Wu Lihua stated: "Most importantly and fundamentally, managers must grasp two initiatives and unfold three preludes. The 'two initiatives' are taking the initiative to discover problems and taking the initiative to steer one's life journey. The 'three preludes' are: first, establishing thought—constructing one's own thinking system for problem resolution, achieving 'four 'in all cases'' in everything, and learning to resolve matters from three perspectives: people, objects, and space; second, establishing action—being diligent in both action and thinking, employing dual approaches, solving problems promptly, and striving to be a role model for all; third, establishing result—being result-oriented in all endeavors and striving to meet the initially set goals of the plan."

Resolute Execution, Closing to Win, Achieving a Fulfilling Life

No matter what the boss's decision is, make the boss's decision the most correct one!

——Peng Lei, Chairman of Ant Group

Chairman Wu Lihua cited the workplace unspoken rule left by Peng Lei, Chairman of Alibaba's Ant Group, after her resignation as an example. He concluded that obedience is the primary execution force in the workplace; obedience is the foundation for forming the ability to resolve problems and the basic path for workplace professionals to realize their self-worth.

Confucius said: "When three walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher." The original intention of the cadre training session is not only to help everyone learn and improve themselves, but also to create a large group where people pair up, assist each other, supervise each other, and use one another as motivation to reach new heights. Through learning, set a problem you most desire to change and pair up with a supervisory witness.

What is learned from books is always superficial; to truly understand, one must practice. The enterprising, diligent, and amiable Benefit managers, hand in hand on the path they have chosen, will master the superior Benefit skills, forming the momentum of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot break through" and possessing the ability of "being talented and capable, excelling in every detail".
