7. 人主之大患,莫大乎好名。人主好名,则群臣知所要矣。(卷四十八 体论)
【白话】领导人最大的祸患,没有大过爱好虚名的祸患。一旦领导人好名声,那么下属就知道他想要的是什么,而投其所好。
Nothing can do more harm to a leader than widespread knowledge of the fact thathe craves adoration and popularity. Once a leader falls into the traps of wanting an inflated name for himself, his officials will know what he wants and conform to his wishes.
