三十六计英文-Thirty-Six Stratagems 29. Putting fake blossoms on the tree 三十六计
三十六计英文
30. Host and guest reversed
This stratagem applies to taking over without violence. Some commentators apply
it to swallowing up an ally, rather than an enemy. Either way, it relies on role
reversal with the other side. You make the other person dependent on you and
give that person reasons to stay dependent. In a negative sense, it was used by
the British to snare Chinese trade in the 1800's. The British actively hooked
the Chinese people on opium, thus giving them a need to trade with Britain,
making them dependent on Britain.
In business, becoming an authority on your boss's job (or the job of any higher
person) so that you cause that person to come to you for advice is a means of
role reversal. The adroit ladder climber starts by offering free advice and
giving guidance, and ultimately the role sticks. The person who has climbed the
ladder either takes on the coveted role officially or is otherwise promoted in
order to keep his or her expertise available.
