Is Taoist management thought decentralized or centralized?

Centralization. The most powerful part of Taoist thought is the thorough subversion of management. In the management thought of Confucianism and Mohism, the organizational attribute of management is clearly expounded, which conforms to the general law of organizational management. Taoist thought is to completely eliminate the management of "visible hand" and realize the management of "invisible hand".

Taoist thought holds that human nature is the root of the problem, and the more obvious human nature is, the more complicated the organization and management is. Therefore, the goal of Taoist thought is to eliminate organization, humanity and management, and fundamentally solve the management confusion.

The wisdom of Taoist thought cannot be interpreted by people in this era, which is determined by the limitations of the times. Just as people today criticize or criticize the ignorance of their predecessors, their predecessors are also limited by the times, not that they are smarter today. Of course, this does not affect their criticism. Although unfair, the essence of scientific spirit lies in negation and criticism. Without negation and criticism, there will be no transcendence and innovation.

In an invisible organization, you can only obey the natural laws of your environment. This natural law is the self-regulating power of the environment, and it is an "invisible hand". As long as you are in it, you will be influenced by this power.

Lao Tzu, a great thinker, has long seen through the essence of human nature. Regardless of good or evil, he did not play an active role in management, but was the root of the problem. As long as human beings have humanity, there will be management problems. When the laws of nature are abandoned by human beings, there will be various moral dogmas and legal norms that distort human nature. Taoist management thought clearly points out that "governing the country with wisdom is a thief of the country;" Governing the country without wisdom is the blessing of the country. "
