Recently, I went to a wild duck restaurant in the suburbs of Shanghai to eat. During the dinner, I talked about the "duck". After listening, I felt quite a bit philosophical. I would like to summarize the following for friends to play:
It is a story often told by a human resources expert who asks the supervisor to know the importance of motivation. Once upon a time, a county magistrate liked to eat roast duck and invited a chef with a good cooking skill. One day the county magistrate found that the roast duck from the chef had only one leg. It was very strange, but he was embarrassed to ask. It was like this for a few days. Finally, one day the county magistrate couldn鈥檛 help but called the chef and asked, "Why do you have only one leg and another leg?" The chef replied: "Adult, the duck has only one." Legs, don't believe me to take you to see." So the county official followed the chef to the backyard duck farm, at noon, the weather was hot, the ducks were under the tree, shrunk into one leg, and stood on one leg. The chef said: "Adult, do you think the duck is not a leg?" The county magistrate was very angry. He patted his hands and the ducks stunned and ran away. At this time, the county official asked: "You see, there are not two ducks. "Do you have legs?" The chef replied: "Before you, if you know that you clap your hands, the duck has two legs."
Regardless of the authenticity of the story, let the person in charge understand that when the subordinates have good When you are performing, you must be praised, praised or materially rewarded. The subordinates are more motivated and will go all out to give you more feedback.
If you look closely at a group of ducks, you will find that there is always a duck who takes the lead and leads the flock of ducks. If you have to grab one to take the lead, the rest of the ducks may not keep up. "So in the early days of the company's establishment, we used this method to observe quietly and carefully select cadres, and then successfully create a day. It is also often seen in the political or business world. If it is because of one's own private or unknown people, the result will still be a problem. Don't be careless.
IBM's founder Walter's son, Walter, likes to use this story to motivate employees:
"There is a person who likes to watch wild ducks flying south in the winter in October. One year, he was very compassionate and brought a lot of feed to feed the ducks. Since then, there have been many wild ducks who are no longer working hard to fly through the winter. After a few years, he found that the wild ducks became fat and lazy and could not fly. So you can tame wild ducks, but It is impossible to make a tamed wild duck fly south like an untamed wild duck. The tamed duck can't go anywhere. The enterprise needs a task like an untamed wild duck to make a big thing. At IBM, we don't want employees. Become a tamed duck." Because of this kind of chest, he encourages employees not to draw the ground as a prison, to follow the old, to be innovative. In this culture, IBM has become the world's largest computer company.
It is said that somewhere in the jungle, one day, the Lion King held a sports meeting, in which there was a movement of jumping, running, flying, swimming, and diving. The result was won by the duck. This is all the same, but the ducks that are not refined, although won the championship, it is not easy to survive in the jungle, there is the possibility of death at any time.
Similarly, if a company wants to survive and develop in competition, it cannot do everything, and what projects must participate. The result must be that resources are scattered, and it is not as good as people, how can it stand in the market? On the contrary, we must choose the project that we are best at, and it is the best strategy to concentrate on firepower. As one management expert once said: "The difficulty in business is not that there are too few products and customers, but too many products and customers." Sony also advertised: "Enterprise success is not in terms of size, but in technology and service. "All are emphasizing the importance of "fine", not "more", people must have self-knowledge, do not do things that are not their own expertise.
