Transcend the generation gapGet empathy
If you want to pass on your business philosophy to your employees, you must bridge the ideological generation gap.
This generation gap comes from differences in age, living environment and life experience, and perhaps you want your employees to be similar in age to you, so that they can have more common language;
Maybe you want your employees to have a similar lifestyle to you, and with a similar background, you can better understand your ideas.
However, the reality is that our employees are about the same age as our children, a full generation apart.
At this time, if the way of thinking of the manager reflects too much the values and traditions of his own generation, it will be difficult for young people to accept it.
In order for young people to understand and accept, the philosophy of the manager must be based on the universal truth and principle principle of "what is right as a human being".
In this way, managers will be able to transcend generational barriers and resonate with young people.
Older people often lament that young people nowadays are lazy and don't take things seriously.
But whether you are serious or not has nothing to do with age, everyone has the intrinsic motivation to work hard to achieve their dreams.
I believe that the same is true for today's young people, as long as they can find their dreams in their work, no matter how difficult the challenge, they will not shy away.
If we express our demands on this basis, I believe that young people will be able to understand the philosophy of management.
2. The business objectives that reflect the will of the operatorIt must be the common will of all employees
In my opinion,Management is the expression of the will of the manager.
Once a goal is set, no matter what happens, it must be achieved, and this strong will is essential in management.
However, many business operators see that the goal cannot be achieved, or find excuses, or revise the goal, or even cancel the goal and plan altogether.
This rash attitude of the management not only makes it impossible to achieve the goal, but also has a great negative impact on the employees.
My deep experience of this was after Kyocera ** went public. **Once listed, the company must publicly release its next earnings forecast and make a commitment to shareholders.
However, many operators often use changes in the economic environment as a reason to adjust the forecast downwards without hesitation.
However, in the same economic environment, some operators can achieve their goals well.
I believe that in today's environment, which is subject to frequent and drastic changes, it will be difficult for managers to continue their management if they lack a strong will to achieve their goals and fulfill their commitments no matter what.
Blindly allowing the business to "cater" to changes in the situation often results in bad results.
Because the target that has been adjusted downward has encountered a new environmental change, it has to be adjusted downward again. If you retreat in the face of difficulties, you will completely lose the trust of investors and employees.
Once you have decided to "do this", you must follow through with a strong will.
Another important point is that management goals are derived from the will of the management, but at the same time, the goals must be resonated with by the employees, and the employees should voice the voice of "let's do it together".
In other words,Management objectives that reflect the will of the management must be the common will of all employees.
Employees are generally reluctant to take the lead in proposing high goals that make them suffer, so business goals still have to be decided by the managers from the top down.
But just top-down, employees are reluctant to follow.
The high goals of management must be seen as being set from the bottom up by the employees, which is called "changing the will of the management into the will of the employees".
3. Operators must try their best to find all kinds of methodsTake every opportunity and be bluntwillTheir own will is passed on to the employees
Business is also psychology. Even if the goal is very low, if the "cold water faction" is allowed to speak first, they will say, "It's too difficult, it's impossible to do." ”
If the atmosphere is depressed, the high expectations of the management may be disappointed.
I think it's important to set high goals and then challenge them.
Of course, if the goal is too high, despite the challenges, it will fail this year and next year, or even if it cannot be completed for three consecutive years, the high goal will become a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror.
It is the most important thing that no one will pay attention to the business objectives of the operators in the future.
However, it is still necessary to have a business target that is higher than the previous year, otherwise it is not enough to stimulate employee morale, and the company will lose its vitality.
The following methods are not very useful, but I used them when Kyocera was young.
Aiming at monthly sales of 1 billion yen, we achieved that all employees traveled to Hong Kong, ChinaIf they can't reach it, all the staff go to the temple to practice. ”
At the delicate moment when the goal is completed and the goal is not completed, I announce it to the employees.
As a result, everyone worked hard and completed the goal excellently. So I rented a charter plane and went to Hong Kong for a three-day tour. In this way, the sense of unity with the employees is enhanced.
It is not simply to give orders to complete the goals, but also to encourage the morale of the employees, mobilize their enthusiasm, and let the business goals be shared with the employees.
In order to achieve the goal, everyone uses their brains, comes up with ideas, and delves into innovation.
Of course, it is not the skill that is important, but the managers must take every opportunity to convey their will to the employees in a straightforward manner.
In the past, when Kyocera was a child, at the end of one year, I had a high cold and fever, and I was on a drip, but I still participated in the "year-end party" of all departments more than 50 times in a row.
I would like to take this opportunity to share my vision and vision for the coming year.
More importantly, I would like to express my strong will to achieve my goals in order to gain the understanding and cooperation of all employees.
The same is true in JAL's reconstruction.
Even though I'm over 80 years old, I spend most of my week in a hotel in Tokyo, eating a grilled fish bento box at noon and buying a few sushi at a convenience store in the evening.
The meeting was held continuously from morning to night, and the spirit was focused on the detailed and specific figures.
Seeing how hard I worked, JAL employees felt my determination to realize JAL's reconstruction plan no matter what.
It is more appropriate to use the words "desperate to die".
In other words, in order to share the management goals that express the will of the management with the employees, the most important thing is for the management to work hard.
As long as the strong will of the manager can be shared with the employees, as long as the fighting spirit of everyone can be ignited, the company will be able to grow and develop.
4. If the operator continues to be strict with himselfRegulate your words and deeds, thenEmployeesI will also consciously practice philosophy
Tang Taizong said in "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries": "For the way of the king, the people must be saved first." ”
In other words, "The most important thing for a national leader who is to rule the people is to have compassion for the people and to cherish and cherish the people." ”
Tang Taizong talked about the way of politicians.
This is in line with what I mean by "righteousness." Tang Taizong himself stated that the purpose and significance of politics is to seek "the happiness of the people".
At the same time, in order to achieve this noble goal, nothing is more important than the high philosophy of the politicians themselves.
Tang Taizong admonished his courtiers: "Secretaries and others must eliminate selfishness and favoritism, and stick to the straight path." ”
That is to say: "I hope that you senior ** must get rid of selfishness, suppress self-interest, do your best for the society, and be sure to implement the correct way of life." ”
Entrepreneurs, while revealing the noble business purpose and mission, and practicing the philosophy and way of thinking required to achieve this goal and mission, you must make efforts to share this purpose, mission and philosophy with your employees.
At this time, the most important thing is to show employees that as a manager, you have a firm will and determination to truly practice this lofty philosophy and way of thinking.
No matter how lofty the philosophy and way of thinking you preach, if the manager himself does not practice, lacks the will to practice, and his words and deeds are contrary to this philosophy and way of thinking, then no employee will really listen to the management's teachings, let alone want to put it into practice from the bottom of his heart.
When it comes to Gao Mai's philosophy and the right way to behave, people often think that learning it once is enough, and they don't want to learn it repeatedly.
However, just as an athlete cannot maintain a strong body if he does not exercise every day, the human mind and personality will soon return to the original low level if they do not work hard to improve regularly.
On the contrary, if the manager is constantly strict with himself, regulates his words and deeds, takes the lead in setting an example, strives to practice philosophy, reflects on it every day, and continuously improves his personality.
Then, seeing the serious attitude of the manager, the employees will also consciously practice the philosophy.
Since the president has such a good idea, we employees should also respond, we respect the president, and we will work hard with him for the development of the company!"Managers have to get their employees to think like that.
Like this,The ideology of employees has changed, and the operators have one mind, and everyone has paid no less than anyone's efforts, then the enterprise will be able to develop smoothly.
That's the key to running a business.
