The question is, how do we bring out the wolf in our team?Let's start with a short story.
Once upon a time, in the distant forest, there was a very powerful lion, who was the overlord of the forest, ruling over many living beings. However, as its kingdom grew, it became inadequate to manage it alone. For this reason, the lion chose to promote the leopard as his right-hand man to help manage the wolves under him. One day, the lion ordered the leopard to distribute food to 10 wolves to test the leopard's management ability. The leopard fairly divides the meat into 11 portions, each wolf gets one and keeps one for himself. But as time went on, the wolves began to notice that something was wrong—they toiled hard every day, but they always felt that there was not enough food. Suspecting that the leopard was full of self-sufficiency, they attacked it in groups and beat the leopard severely. Although one wolf is no match for a leopard, the strength of 10 wolves united is too much for a leopard to resist.
The leopard was beaten all over his body, and aggrieved found the lion, intending to resign from his position.
The lion looked at the scarred leopard, pondered for a moment, and then reassured it by saying, "You haven't done anything wrong, just lack some management skills." Let me teach you a few tricks. ”
Pay for the results
This time, the lion king still divided the meat he hunted into 11 parts, but the division of meat was not as fair as that of leopards, but large and small. The lion king picked out the largest piece of meat and kept it for himself, and then said to the wolves: "I will not interfere with how to divide the 10 portions of meat here, it is all up to you to decide, whoever has the strongest ability will get more food." As soon as the lion king finished speaking, the wolves could not hold back and began to attack each other fiercely, and in order to get more food, they put in more effort, even more than in the past, in order to get the evenly distributed food. When the leopard saw such a scene, his face was full of doubts. The leopard asked the lion king, "How did you make them work so hard?"”
The lion king smiled indifferently and said, "This is the principle of human performance pay. Tie personal income to work performance and motivate them to work for more meat. ”Comments: Result-oriented - the fighting power of the wolves is fed with meat. Whoever has a good result will get several times the performance salary, then they may be high-spirited, and may even kill the Buddha for the sake of performance. In addition,Wolf management is the management of resultsHumanized management is the management of a sense of achievement and a sense of mission, which do not conflict, but complement each other.
Last-place elimination method
The next day, the lion divided the meat into 11 portions and took two of them himself. It calmly announced: "There are only 9 portions of meat today, and how to divide it is up to your own strength to decide whether it is the same as yesterday." "The wolves fought again for the limited food, and the fierce competition lasted longer than yesterday, and everyone was more motivated than yesterday, and finally the wolf, which could not compete with the other wolves, fell in a pool of blood.
The leopard admired the lion's means and asked what method it was.
The lion said: "This is called survival of the fittest, and human society is called the last elimination method." Inspire a sense of competition among the wolves by eliminating the last one. ”Comments: Desperate to survive - leaders must understand that fighting spirit is inspired by blood. Leaders also don't focus on employees who are lagging behind, but on employees who are performing well.
Workplace rules
On the third day, the lion divided the meat into four portions, took two pieces for himself, and divided one of the remaining two portions into nine small portions. It said to the wolves, "Today is a test of your abilities, and the best will be rewarded the most." The wolves took a portion of the food they had gotten to curry favor with the lion, and some even offered all they had gotten. In the end, the wolf who knew how to please the lion the most was rewarded the most. The leopard asked, "Why didn't they resist?"”
The lion smiled: "This is the law of survival in the workplace." Learning to adapt and cater to the needs of your superiors is the key to survival. ”
Comments: The times have long changed, and it is no longer possible to blindly please the leadersOnly if you are strong enough can you be eligible to fight for additional rewards for yourself. But as a working person, you must also learn to handle interpersonal relationships smoothly, socialize upwards and be compatible with downwards, which is the real workplace rule in the 21st century.
Competitor mechanics
On the fourth day, the lion divided the meat into two large portions, one for himself and one for the wolves. This sparked a fierce competition between the wolves, and finally a strong man who won by his own hard work became the new wolf king, enjoying the right to eat first. The other wolves could only obediently obey the arrangement of the new wolf king. The leopard asked, "How did you do it, you don't usually see that it has such outstanding abilities?"The lion said, "This is to take advantage of the wolf's competitive characteristics and give full play to the power of the competition mechanism." Selecting strong leaders through competition is the key to keeping the team dynamic. ”Comments: The power of the mechanism - pain makes people strong, and the backbone is often tossed outGenerals are fought, not cultivated. Wolf management emphasizes the implementation of systems and processes, and humanized management is the manifestation of leadership, both of which are equally needed.
In addition, the wolf management that can be assessed is not the humane management that cannot be assessed.
Teach it to fish
On the fifth day, instead of distributing the prey they had caught to the wolves, the lion let the wolves go out to forage for food on their own. The wolves were surprised, and then the lion king said, "I have taught you enough hunting skills, you are no longer just working to get food from me, you are to follow me to realize your own value, and the future is in your own hands." By this time the leopard had completely surrendered to the wisdom of the lion: "This is to give him fish, right?"By cultivating employees' individual abilities, we help employees achieve personal achievement and achieve team self-management and sustainable development. ”Comments: Give it a fish,I can manage the employees for a while, but I can't manage the employees for a lifetime. Really good leaders always put the development of their subordinates in a very important position.
Although the story features animals as characters, it profoundly reveals the essence of business management, while also showing the skills and methods that leaders need to master when managing their teams. The lion as a manager has succeeded in maintaining not only his dominance through the skillful use of various management methods, but also the leopard and the wolf pack under his rule, and the entire animal kingdom is in order. Write at the end:Good soldiers are brought out by good generals, and wolf-like subordinates are brought out by wolf-like managers. Then, managers must master the law of the jungle, which is the law of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle in nature, in order to stimulate the wolf spirit of the team and continue to create excellent results.
