Management is an art that emphasizes practicality and flexibility. That is to say, only relying on management theory and management principles in books to manage, is tantamount to "talk on paper", can not guarantee its success. In August 2014, Shanghai Meike Valve Co., Ltd. invited Wang Liquan, an expert in the valve industry, to conduct management art training for all management leaders in the company.

The artistry of management means that management relies on personality charm, inspiration and innovation, while management itself has no rules to follow, and there is no way to master management skills through learning. Different cultural backgrounds reflect different management arts. Therefore, how managers apply different management methods and leadership in management work is related to the success or failure of management work.

Art is skill and skill based on personal experience and proficiency. Management is a social activity that deals with and coordinates the relationship between people. The main body of management is human, and the most important among the management subjects is human. Although management activities must follow objective laws, managers can not be as "rigid" and "meticulous" when applying management theory to guide management practice as natural science uses its theorems and formulas to guide natural science practice. Instead, managers are required to use management theory flexibly and flexibly to analyze specific problems in management practice.
