By applying Lao’s philosophy, wise ones carved out a niche in the ever-changing market. They won’t fight the current, but become the stream to grow customers by understanding them better, and providing more value-added solutions.
Living in Harmony with Nature: According to Laozi and the team in their time, humans should strive to live in harmony with nature. This means observing nature, understanding its principles, and aligning our actions with its natural order and flow. People in modern society are usually busy and feel exhausted. They should take a break, and go to new places, at which they can interact with nature, recharge themselves, keep the environment green, and develop creativity.
Simplicity and Humility: Laozi & associates emphasize simplicity and humility as virtues. They believed that humans, by following the example of nature, should strive for a life free from unnecessary complexities, follow their hearts to do things they are good at, and shape their minds to respect nature, keep things simple, and show humility and good attitude to get things down resourcefully.
Influence on Social Order: Laozi's ideas extended beyond personal conduct and influenced the views on social order. They believed that rulers should govern with a light touch, following the natural order and allowing things to unfold organically, rather than imposing rigid rules or processes. On one side, modern society needs to enforce the law and governance discipline, and provide a framework for running a modern society; on the other side, increase flexibility - give people a certain level of freedom to break down conventional thinking, over-rigid social hierarchy, and advocate authenticity.
Lao’s philosophy builds a foundation to drive changes without brute force; cultivate talent without too much push or unhealthy competition; and run an advanced society with natural harmony. Here is a short story on how to apply Lao’s law to overcome business challenges.
A business owner of a struggling company had a very difficult time running their business continually due to fierce competition, and new emerging trends. So the managers start to explore different approaches for improving business models or taking more aggressive marketing strategies. They participate in local entrepreneurship events and learn different philosophies for brainstorming ideas. One of the Laozi researchers shared her knowledge of Laozi’s law of nature order. She explained how forceful marketing, like pushing water uphill, could backfire. "Perhaps," she said, "focusing on what you do best, like the steady rhythm of your operation, will attract the customers who value it."
So they invest in some lightweight digital technology, and do a certain sentimental analysis of their customers, discover their purchasing patterns, gain more customer insight, and offer customized solutions to fit their needs naturally. Instead of bombarding customers with promotions, let the quality of the products/services speak for themselves as well.
By applying Lao’s philosophy, wise ones carved out a niche in the ever-changing market. They won’t fight the current, but become the stream to grow customers by understanding them better, and providing more value-added solutions. They become a source of nourishment to improve customer experience and achieve people-centricity.
