Management

Principle 8: Possess a Fighting Spirit

Management requires a more combative mentality than any martial art.

Even in a small company, a manager must face corporate competition with an immense fighting spirit. It's absolutely necessary to develop such intense resolve that you feel as if you'll never lose.

Even someone perceived as gentle, who has never experienced confrontation and shows no visible fighting spirit, must rise to the occasion after becoming a business manager. You must fiercely protect your employees; otherwise, you won't earn their trust.
