The Enlightenment of Taoist Management Thought on the Management of Colleges and Universities and Teachers

Chinese Taoist culture has been immortal for thousands of years. However, with the reform and the development of society, foreign management theories and ideas have been introduced into China, and the focus of managers and the public has also been put on foreign management theories and management ideas. This has led to the development of China's traditional Taoist culture, ideas and management concepts. So far, it has been forgotten by people. In the process of re-studying China's Taoist culture, ideas and concepts, it has been found that there are relatively many places in today 's social development that are consistent with Taoist ideas. Based on studying the Taoist management thought, it highlights the necessity of its research, summarizes its main ideas, and discusses the application of its management thought in the management of colleges and universities. In the course of the study, it was found that the leaders of universities and secondary colleges were too centralized in the management of their subordinates and their teachers, and they did not properly delegate power, resulting in subordinates and their employees working at with low efficiency. By combining the Taoist management thought with the management methods of colleges and universities and teachers, the corresponding management methods are put forward: the affairs of colleges and universities' “do something, do not do something”; the development of colleges and universities is “To argue without arguing is not to argue, but to argue”.
