Definition
有方 is a fixed verb-object phrase meaning 'to have the right method' or 'to handle things properly/ably'. It is most often used in the pattern 'V+有方', such as 教导有方 (well-taught or skilled in teaching) and 管理有方 (well-managed). As a separable verb (v.o.), it can be split with inserted modifiers (e.g. 有自己的一套方), though it is most commonly used as a set collocation. The phrase carries a positive evaluation of one's actions or management style.
