You can see 4 Confucianism management principles at Geogre Washington House
Dear friends,
Do you want to train yourself to be a good citizen, good husband to your wife (wives!!!)- good dad to your kid (kids)- good staff to your organization - or even good future leader of a community or country?
Here is a secret! Let's visit George Washington Home at Mount Vernon, about 18 miles south DC.
George Washington house was built on a small hill next to Potomac river. From this house, people always have a far, beautiful panaroma view with five basic elements including fire, wood, water, earth and metal according to the Eartern philosophy.
Near to his own house is home of his slaves and the office of his personnel manager. Following on the right hand side is a food processing house, a house for acounting clerk, a spinning factory and a ferry on the bank of Potomac river.
You will see that Geogre Washington had operated 4 Confucianism management principles before he became the first American president.
The first princple is to control yourself.
The second principle is to manage your family.
The third principle is manage your village, your country.
And, then, the fourth principle is to manage the world
For that reason, George Washington was successful in the Civil War and became one of the founders of America to build up a rigid foundation for his country in the past years, today, as well as the coming decades.
