At a time when many contemporaries and entrepreneurs still think that technology and market are the core competitiveness of enterprises, Tan Xuguang realized that behind technology and market competition is actually the underlying logic of talent competition. But how can we make good use of talents and let them play their greatest role? Tan Xuguang said: We should not set up a "bird cage" for young scientific and technological workers, but learn to "release pigeons", otherwise our innovation inheritance is an empty word!
Setting up "bird cages" and "releasing pigeons" is a question of restriction and freedom, and a question of whether the ecological environment of an enterprise is good or bad, which is dialectical thinking. On this issue,Tan Xuguang's point of view is that everyone can become a talent, everyone is a potential talent, as long as there is a suitable environment, they will become a real talent. If a talent wants to really make a difference, salary, treatment and other factors are important, but the most important and non-negligible factor should be the working environment, which is a working environment that can stimulate one's potential and give full play to one's talents.
Most companies are accustomed to setting up "bird cages" for talents, such as management cages, assessment cages, and even thought cages. As a result, talented people cannot devote themselves wholeheartedly to the reform and production and operation of the enterprise, deviate from the enterprise, and even have behaviors that damage the interests of the enterprise.
The so-called "pigeon release" is to plan a good career development channel for talents, create conditions, and build a career stage, so that all kinds of people can do things and do things, and have a strong sense of achievement and career. "Releasing pigeons" also means loosening the constraints on science and technology, giving innovation teams and leading talents greater control over people, money and materials, and decision-making power on technical routes. Tan Xuguang even pointed out more bluntly that Weichai should take a clear stand against the "bureaucratic rule" model of science and technology, and encourage young science and technology workers to be unafraid of heaven and earth, take the lead in challenging academic authority, and eliminate academic closure.
Tan Xuguang believes that the core of talents is ecology. At the heart of motivation is fairness. It is necessary to establish a Silicon Valley ecology and a special zone ecology in all scientific research systems, so that scientific and technological personnel can understand and calculate how much their scientific research results are worth, and realize the equivalence of results and returns. Resolutely promote the unity of the value of combining spiritual incentives and material incentives, break the bad habits of "coaxing", "forcing to do" and "mixing to do" in the R&D system, and create a new ecology of "comparing to do", "rushing to do" and "working hard".
It seems that the pigeon has been released to talents, but in fact, it has tied the hearts of talents in the long run, which is Tan Xuguang's wisdom in employing people.
