To be a "boss", no matter how big or small, to achieve career success, the first thing is to rely on people, that is, to be successful in talent strategy. Otherwise, it's empty talk. People determine careers. So, how should we deal with this fundamental matter?
01 cherish talents
It is to attach importance to talents, respect talents, and reuse talents. Whether or not we sincerely cherish talents is the most important sign to measure the sense of responsibility and mission for the cause, and it is also an important sign to measure whether they have basic "morality" and "ability". This is fully reflected in the "people" of the team, that is, the talents gathered around the "boss". At the same time, the speed and quality of the team's career development also directly reflect the "morality" and "ability" of the team, especially the "boss". Why? Because, with one good person, all other good people will come; With a bad guy, other bad guys also followed, as the saying goes, "There is a gentleman inside the door, and a gentleman outside the door; There are villains inside the door, and villains outside the door". Therefore, a good "boss", first of all, must cherish talents, only the talent as the most important, the most scarce, the most valuable resources to treat, like cherishing their own life to cherish talents, in order to build the cause on the basis of rapid and sustainable development, in order to make the "people" calm, to keep the cause on the track of a virtuous circle, the team can also promote the rapid development of the cause under the premise of realizing their ideals.
02Identify talents
Knowing people is the premise of employing people, and knowing people is the basic ability to be a "boss". The "boss" who has no ability to read people is sadly called a "blind man". Knowing people is an esoteric knowledge, and it can even be said that it "can only be understood, but cannot be spoken". But there are still basic rules.
Three aspects are emphasized:First, it is necessary to grasp the basic talent standards. This is physical and mental health, having both ability and political integrity, and having a good character. It is necessary to emphasize both morality and talent. No talent and no virtue are mediocre, virtuous and no are good people, talented but not virtuous are villains, and both ability and political integrity are sages. What is needed is naturally a sage with both ability and political integrity. In times of peace, it is necessary to emphasize the "virtue" based on talent, "not arrogant in high merit, and not for personal gain; Seeking fame is not vain, making profit is not forgetful; Carried away, frustrated does not sink; The poor and the lowly do not waver, and the rich and the rich do not become desolate." The second is to prevent people from falling into the wrong area of recognizing people. That is, to generalize, "love the house and Wu", "the lover's eyes out of the Xi Shi", the shortcomings as advantages. Preconceived, "love at first sight", I don't understand "Lu Yao knows horsepower, sees people's hearts over time, and knows loyal ministers". Treat people as dead, easily set circles, set boxes, and have prejudices. Seek complete blame, "waste jade because of flaws". Listen to and believe, and everyone is the same. Ignore the facts, just impressions. Rigid dogma and detachment from reality. Solipsism is the rule, and people are judged by their personal likes and dislikes. The third is dialectical thinking, and strive to broaden the perspective of knowing people.
03Gather talents
That is, to attract talent. What attracts you? The first is to rely on beautiful common ideals. A beautiful, bright and splendid common ideal is like a powerful "magnetic field" that has a strong appeal to talents. If the "boss" does not have ideals in his career, he can only rely on his temporary power to snare a group of "flies". The second is to rely on personality charm. This is irreplaceable by anything. "Things gather by like, people are divided by groups," "Scholars die for those who know themselves," "It is rare to meet a bosom friend in life". A good "boss" should be a confidant of talents. Therefore, first of all, you must cultivate your true talents, cultivate your moral character, and become a person who is knowledgeable, capable, and charming. The third is to rely on good treatment, including political treatment and economic treatment. Don't shy away from that. Because everything that people fight for is related to their interests. Let's not shy away from chasing fame and fortune, as long as fame and fortune are true, and both righteousness and profit are gained. What's so bad about this pursuit of fame and fortune? On the contrary, some "bosses" mistake people who pursue fame and self-interest for talents, which seriously hurts the hearts of "real talents."
04Make good use of talents
The first strategy is to build on strengths and avoid weaknesses. People have their own strengths and weaknesses, and those who can use people use their strengths, avoid their shortcomings, make the best use of them, and use their wonders; Those who do not know how to employ people, on the contrary, take care of their shortcomings and ignore their strengths. What's more, they don't understand the strengths and weaknesses of talents at all, regard the strengths of talents as shortcomings, and regard the traitors of "villains" as their specialties.
The second is to use talents in an eclectic manner. It is necessary to break the shackles of age, education, region, intimacy and other frameworks. Special attention should be paid to the following five aspects: Dare to use young people. As long as there is talent for heavy responsibilities, we must use it boldly and in a timely manner, which is a manifestation of a strong sense of responsibility and vision. Dare to use old comrades. Mobilize and protect the enthusiasm of talents. Dare to use capable people without diplomas. Dare to use controversial people. It is necessary to find out for yourself the reasons for the "controversy". It is necessary to understand that in real life, there is indeed a very abnormal phenomenon, and the more people who have real talent and real learning, the more "controversial" they often have. Some of this "controversy" is an unconscious act of society; And some are precisely imposed on "talents" by "mediocre", "villains" and even "bad people". Dare to use people who have made mistakes. As long as the lesson is learned, the "immunity" of those who have made mistakes is stronger, and they must be bold to use it.
05Motivate talents
The ancients said: "If the arrow is not excited, it will not be far, and the person will not be motivated." In order to keep team members motivated and energetic, a good "boss" must master effective ways to motivate people. The use of appropriate material or spiritual means to motivate them to work hard for the set goal, that is, to mobilize enthusiasm, is still a low-level external incentive. A higher level of motivation is to keep them in high spirits and consciously engage in common causes. That is, from "I want to do it" to "I want to do it". The first is to inspire the consciousness of talents and respect the individuality of talents. The second is to create opportunities and authority for them to participate in and make certain decisions. The third is to make the team strive to represent the fundamental interests of the majority of members, and achieve the greatest consistency with everyone's values. Fourth, special attention is paid to those who are loyal to the collective goal, even at the risk of self-determination. Fifth, the "boss" should take responsibility for himself and give full play to his exemplary and leading role.
06Inclusive of talents
"The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great". Talent inclusion should include three aspects:
The first is to accommodate people's strengths. It is to tolerate subordinates who are stronger than themselves. This is a very noble moral cultivation. Some "bosses" do cherish talents, but there are limitations, that is, they cannot tolerate the ability of their subordinates to see more than themselves, once a subordinate is better than himself in some aspects, especially inconsistent with his own opinions and behaviors, and it turns out that he is wrong, jealousy will arise spontaneously, and he will rely on his power to "add guilt to others", or he will not implement the subordinates' correct opinions more than his own. This kind of "small-bellied chicken intestines" does exist. They do not allow their subordinates to surpass themselves comprehensively or in one area. Experience has repeatedly proved that the more people who are "commanders" who are stronger than themselves, the greater the chance of success in their careers. Ren Zhengfei's example is typical.
The second is to tolerate people's shortcomings. That is, do not blame and criticize talents, and tolerate the shortcomings of others on the premise of maintaining principles. Because the more outstanding people are, the more prominent their shortcomings are. In addition, the strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses of "talents" are often relative, and a person's shortcomings are a continuation of their strengths, and their strengths are a continuation of their weaknesses. As long as they are not greedy for money for personal gain, greedy for power and harmful to others, that is, as long as they are not moral character problems, we should be tolerant and be kind to others to help them turn "short" into "long" and "shortcomings" into "advantages".
The third is to tolerate people's mistakes. Everything in the world is a dialectical unity of right and wrong, but it depends on what is the main aspect of the contradiction, and the more real people do, the more "mistakes" that will inevitably accompany them while achieving excellent results. If we do not count the achievements and only count the "mistakes", then the more outstanding the talents, the more they will do the work, and the more "mistakes" they will make. If we can't understand this objective law, we have no choice but to regard as "talents" those who "don't do things" and are only able to find fault with others' "mistakes" and therefore will not "make mistakes." In that case, can we develop? If we want to develop, develop quickly, and develop by leaps and bounds, we must rather use capable people who make mistakes than mediocre people like "hindsight". It is important to know that there is a price to pay for achieving results - "mistakes". All we need to do is to make the cost as small as possible, the errors and shortcomings as few as possible, and the errors and shortcomings that occur are corrected in a timely manner.
07 Intimate talents
It's about knowing and understanding people. Do not be self-respecting, consciously communicate with subordinates frequently, and unite and attract talents to your surroundings with a humble attitude.
The following aspects should be paid attention to in the communication work:First, don't be "condescending", get along with each other on an equal footing, don't play a "boss" tone, and don't sing high-pitched. The second is not to be "domineering", to be calm, not self-righteous, and not to say anything inferior. The third is not to be "in a hurry", to be patient, not afraid of trouble, and not to be in a hurry. Fourth, we should not "avoid contradictions", but boldly express our stance, be unambiguous, and do not dodge. Fifth, don't be "sarcastic and sarcastic", be kind to others, not unreasonable and critical, and not too demanding. Sixth, don't be "insincere", but be honest and consistent. Seventh, don't "blindly pander", adhere to principles, and don't get along with the mud. Eighth, don't "don't write the right topic", but because of the person, not without a target, not blindly open your mouth. We must not neglect the communication with subordinates and talents. Only by grasping the basic situation, psychological characteristics, and the trend of development and change of subordinates and talents, and becoming their friends and mentors, can they gain the initiative in controlling and convincingly dedicate their talents and establish meritorious deeds.
08Protect talents
The rafters at the beginning rot first", implying that talents are vulnerable to blows and rejection. It is a duty to be the "protective umbrella" and "red backing" of talents, otherwise, it is a "coward", "mediocre", and extremely stupid. A philosopher once said: When a true genius comes into the world, then the foolish boys will unite against him.
Protecting talents is not only the excellent quality of the "boss", but also the best reflection of ability. Dare and be good at protecting real talents, is a strong talent orientation, directly determines the good atmosphere and environment of the team, and thus directly determines the extraordinary development of the team, which is very critical and very important.
First, it is impossible for all people to understand the true insight of a talent, and he must pursue the truth and accomplish his career, and when "God" is dim, blind, and cowardly, he can only be a martyr of the truth, otherwise he will not be able to achieve the truth.
Second, if talents want to make a difference, for the needs of the cause, in order not to miss the opportunity, it is impossible to wait for everyone to agree with themselves before acting, including the understanding and approval of the "boss". This will inevitably be regarded as "not cooperating", "disrespecting others", and even "acting recklessly". Some "bosses" are inherently inferior in character and talent, and do not allow their subordinates and talents to excel in "performance", posing a "threat" to themselves.
The third is that the dedication of talents is too strong, cherish the opportunity of time, it is impossible to have a lot of time to nod to the "people", often accompany the smiling face, and it is impossible to decide on the people who decide their "future" to invite them to eat today, accompany them for entertainment tomorrow, and give local products the day after tomorrow, and then send money and color to fill the boring emptiness, which will inevitably be regarded as unsociable or even "arrogant".
Fourth, talents are "cranes of chickens", and it is inevitable that they will be jealous of "chickens" (including very small chickens). There are also many secular reasons that have led to the phenomenon of "true talents" being slandered, framed, attacked, ostracized, and mutilated, which has been very common from ancient times to the present. Therefore, the "boss" who has a good reputation must take the protection of talents as his duty. When talents are hit, don't "protect yourself", but stand up, share weal and woe with talents, and never leave the hardships, in order to achieve the "great cause". Whether or not we can confidently protect talented people is not only a watershed in testing the "boss's" ability to understand, but also a watershed in testing ideological and moral character, courage and wisdom, and a watershed in testing whether the "boss" seeks truth from facts and dares to uphold the truth in the issue of "people."
09Cultivating talents
"A year's plan is like a valley of trees; A lifelong plan is as good as a tree." The "boss" of the party committee with a strategic and long-term vision should pay special attention to the cultivation of people from the perspective of being responsible for the future of the team.
10. Recommend talents
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading for hundreds of years." This is the law of nature and the objective law of talent development. It is great to be able to lead subordinates and talents to do a great cause, but after all, it is still a certain level, if you can make the cause you create a successor and carry it forward, this is a higher level and realm. This requires focusing on the overall situation, taking the future as the standard, taking history as our own responsibility, and daring to push up the "virtuous" people who are stronger than ourselves, so that they can step on their shoulders, and be a "human ladder" and a "fallen leaf" that "turns into spring mud and protects flowers". In reality, there are indeed people who are stronger than themselves as opponents and use power to trample them underfoot. In this way, at best, it is just a short-lived passerby, and it cannot be a "star" in the long river of history!
