Counselors always like to propose three strategies. What are the advantages of such a suggestion?
First, the so-called upper, middle and lower volumes of ancient counselors are roughly the same.
1. The so-called best policy is of course the best choice and the most ideal state. However, it is often very difficult to achieve the requirements of the best policy, which often requires many subjective and objective conditions, such as weather, geographical location and human harmony, all of which are indispensable, and sometimes there is a bit of luck or some degree of early sacrifice.
2. The so-called middle policy is generally a compromise choice. Although the subjective and objective conditions are not as great as the best policy, they are not so easy to achieve. Sometimes you need to take some risks.
3. The so-called strategy is often the most grounded. In other words, it is very difficult to achieve and does not require too many subjective and objective conditions. Not to mention making too many sacrifices in advance. And often, although the expected income may not be large, it is the safest plan, and it seems that there is no need to take too much risk. If you can successfully adopt the next strategy, you can also achieve the basic goal.
Secondly, the reason why counselors put forward three strategies is because counselors are not decision makers. As a subordinate and staff officer, you always have to put forward several plans for the leaders to choose from. The final decision-making power lies with the leadership.
If you are asked to be a staff officer, you will only propose one plan at a time. Then there is no choice for the leader. If you agree to your plan every time, you will become a leader. What's the use of your staff if you don't agree with your plan?
As a leader, he often has to weigh the pros and cons when considering problems, and often thinks from the overall perspective. At the same time, leaders are human beings, and leaders sometimes make mistakes. As human beings, we all have the psychology of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. When making a choice, many leaders are often fascinated by the authorities. They always hope to make a plan that is more secure and beneficial to them, and at the same time it will not be too difficult to implement. So we see a lot of history, and often decision makers have adopted the next policy, which makes us people who read history sigh. But if you put yourself in the customer's shoes, if you were in that environment, you might choose the next policy.
This is my opinion.
