Work on What Has Been Spoiled
Judgment
— I Ching · classical
元亨。利涉大川。先甲三日，后甲三日。
Work on what has been spoiled has sublime success. It furthers one to cross the great water. Before the starting point, three days. After the starting point, three days.
Image
— Great Image
山下有风，蛊，君子以振民育德。
The wind blows low on the mountain: the image of decay. The superior person stirs up the people and strengthens their spirit.
Six Lines
— Bottom to top
Modern Readings
— Interdisciplinary
Career & Management
Organizational rot, process corruption, product obsolescence. A deep internal anti-corruption / process re-engineering campaign — research before and tracking after, refuse to coast.
Psychology & Cognition
Don't run from broken inherited relationships or messes. Surgical reform is painful but the start of renewal.
Decision Guidance
Investigate three days before, monitor three days after. Combine firmness with calibration; neither absolute strictness nor tolerated decay.
Western Parallels
— Cross-cultural
Edwards Deming on continuous improvement (kaizen); Michael Hammer on Business Process Re-engineering (BPR); Joseph Schumpeter's 'creative destruction'; the medical metaphor of debridement before healing.
