Ender's Game 指揮學校模擬
Orson Scott Card (1985)
Ender Wiggin 攞到艦隊指揮權——未成年、疲憊,但係唯一可以將軍隊團結嘅人。佢唔係透過武力指揮。佢指揮係因為佢明白佢嘅士兵、同佢哋分享危險、贏得佢哋嘅忠誠。指揮學校嘅戰鬥模擬將佢推到崩潰邊緣,但佢維持紀律唔係透過暴政,而係透過能力同對團隊嘅真誠關懷。地(在上,群眾,接納,紀律)包含水(在下,危險,隱藏嘅力量儲備)。軍事力量儲存喺人民入面,好似地下水喺土地——睇唔到直到需要。中間嘅強線(Ender)組織周圍嘅柔線。當時刻嚟到——『期末考』實際係真正戰爭——佢嘅軍隊跟住佢,因為佧俾咗佢哋理由。奪取人心嘅領袖可以完成武力永遠做唔到嘅嘢。

Practical Guidance
地在上,坎在下。紀律可見,力量隱藏。地下水儲存喺土地——你睇唔到直到你需要佢。
Ender 指揮唔係透過等級而係透過能力同真誠關懷。佢嘅士兵跟佢去到『期末模擬』——實際係真正戰爭,但佢哋唔知——因為佢之前贏得咗佢哋嘅忠誠。
呢個係乜意思:透過危險情況領導人需要多過權威。需要佢哋真係想跟你,而呢個只會發生如果你贏得咗佢。透過恐懼統治嘅獨裁者得到服從直到第一個危機時刻,然後被拋棄。奪取人心嘅領袖得到比佢哋以為自己可以更努力戰鬥嘅士兵。
古文話:君子透過對人民寬容增加佢嘅群眾。Ender 尊重咁對待佢嘅士兵。佢按才能提升。佢分享危險。呢個創造咗力量儲備——睇唔到直到需要,但當危機嚟臨時可用。喺佢軍隊中間、分享好同壞嘅將軍——嗰個先係可以喺重要時候作出要求嘅將軍。
但戰爭仍然係戰爭。紀律仍然必要。呢個唔係民主或者共識——係統一指揮下嘅有組織力量。分別係指揮嚟自能力,唔係等級。指揮官必須配得上指揮。如果你試住領導人但佢哋唔跟,第一個問題唔係『點解佢哋唔服從?』而係『點解我未贏得佢哋嘅信任?』
失敗模式:試住單靠職位指揮。話『我係老細,聽我話』但冇展示能力或者表現真誠關懷嘅人。呢個 work 直到壓力嚟到。然後軍隊瓦解,因為忠誠從來唔係真嘅。
Ender 贏咗場戰爭,因為佢嘅士兵相信佢。佢哋付出所有,因為 Ender 俾咗佢哋理由。當你可以用願意跟隨者完成唔可能嘅嘢,你明白咗呢個卦教乜嘢。當你用武力逼迫怨恨嘅下屬服從,你完全錯過咗重點。
