In this era of rapid change, we know that management is much more than "control" and "command". As the well-known saying goes, "Management is not about who is in charge of whom, but who helps whom." "This is not only a change of concept, but also a deep insight into human nature and the workplace ecology.
We often see that some managers are still immersed in the "control" mentality, they see employees as simple executors, ignoring their needs and potential as individuals. However, the real modern management should be to empower, to help, to stimulate the potential of employees, and to let them grow together with the company.
Empowerment means that managers no longer simply assign tasks, but provide employees with resources and knowledge to help them complete their tasks better. It's like being in a team, where everyone is a flesh-and-blood individual, with their own ideas and needs. What managers need to do is to provide them with the "oxygen" they need so that they can better play their own value.
At the same time, managers need to help their subordinates. It's not just a help at work, it's a help in life. Because people's hearts are fluid, the needs of employees are diverse. Only by truly caring about employees and understanding their needs can we earn their trust and respect.
Why do employees want your help?In the process of consulting and training, I often tell you that if you want to coach an employee, first of all, the employee must have the willingness to be coached. Therefore, managers must "know people's hearts and understand human nature", which is the core of management. Managers need to understand the needs of their employees, understand their emotions, and understand their difficulties. Only in this way can we truly achieve "who helps whom", rather than "who cares whom".
Of course, this is not to say that managers do not need to set goals and do not need to manage. Rather, the way of management should be to empower and help, not to control and command. Because only in this way will employees truly accept management and truly contribute to the development of the company.
We know the importance of money, but we also know that money is not everything. Money can buy talents, but it can't buy people's hearts. Only managers who truly care about their employees and help them grow can win the hearts of their employees.
In the process of developing employees, it can take a lot of time and effort. But it's worth it. Because only by continuously improving the capabilities of employees can they better adapt to the development of the business. And this is also responsible for the company, employees, and themselves.
In this era of rapid change, we need not only executors, but also innovators and thinkers. What managers need to do is provide them with a good environment where they are free to reach their potential.
Therefore, "management is not about who is in charge of whom, but who helps whom." "It's not just a change of mindset, it's a guide to action. Let's work together to become better managers, help employees, and help the company grow together.
