How do people-centric leadership and flexible work models, such as 'window working' and a four-day workweek, contribute to enhancing employee satisfaction and retention in Taiwanese firms?
The development of virtues and the pursuit of deification are similar paths that lead to the attainment of the highest spiritual values, which bestow true spiritual beauty upon the soul. As a person becomes increasingly filled with qualities such as humility, love, simplicity, and kindness, his inner life acquires a light that reflects divine truth. The virtuous state of the soul, shaped through continuous spiritual effort, is not so much manifested in individual actions as it is expressed in an overall striving for holiness and purity—that is, in the deification of God.
Mechanical perception of a text means reading words without active engagement of the mind, that is, without constructing vivid semantic images and deep understanding. In this case, words remain merely a set of printed symbols devoid of emotional and sensory coloring, which does not contribute to forming strong associative links in memory. One source emphasizes:
The destructive energy of war can be transformed into a creative force by rethinking and redirecting the original dynamics of conflict. On one hand, war awakens within an individual an energy capable not only of destruction but also of propelling powerful, continuous forward movement—as long as that energy is channeled toward creation. As noted in one source, "In continuous action, in struggle, in movement. As soon as the machine stops—the era of NEP—human cells inevitably decay... This is the same energy that, in the years of the civil war, roused and set the exhausted, broken Russia on its hindquarters." (source: 1258_6286.txt). This demonstrates that the dynamic of struggle, even if born of war, can be harnessed to transform and develop society.
When several leaders are present, serious tension can arise when each individual's desire to voice their opinion conflicts with the need to maintain unity and the collective spirit. Such a situation often leads to a conflict between the wish to prove one's competence and the responsibility for collective efforts. For example, if one leader attempts to finish a task alone to demonstrate his ability, it can complicate the process of aligning common goals and the team's work principles. On the other hand, insufficient support from a more experienced manager may cause a young leader to begin noticing his own weaknesses and mistakes, which in turn negatively affects the group dynamics.
