Many times people think that the problem of enterprise growth is a financial problem, a strategic problem or an environmental problem, but in essence, it is actually a problem of the leader's attitude, that is, whether the leader has the willpower to operate.
In any period of business, whether a leader has the willpower to operate can play a life-and-death role.
Noel. m.In his book The Leadership Engine, Ti states, "Successful companies succeed because they have great leaders who guide the growth of other leaders at all levels of the organization." ”
The key to business growth lies in managers
In the face of a crisis, what your choices are, what your outcome will be. In my ongoing research, I often find out why two companies with the same external environment and similar founders have completely different results after a few years? Why is the environment extremely important for some businesses and just a condition for others?
In the final analysis, it is due to the different willpower of the leaders. No matter what kind of environmental changes an enterprise is facing, the biggest problem of an enterprise is not the change of the environment, but the problem of self-growth, the problem of changing from one scale to another, and the problem of changing from one development model to another. Therefore, the real problem of the sustainable growth of the enterprise lies in the managers, in the managers' own willpower and problem-solving ability, as well as in their ability to create growth.
First, it is necessary to make it clear that the environment is a business condition, not a constraint, in terms of cognition.
The second is the issue of attitude, persistence and conviction of growth is a clear attitude, and only the correct attitude of the management may affect the managers and employees at every level;
The third is to instill the company's mission of adhering to growth into action, so that all members can adjust their mentality and actions according to the company's mission.
In 2010, in Japan Airlines lost 1When 5,235 trillion yen was declared bankrupt, Kazuo Inamori was appointed as CEO of Japan Airlines with zero salary. In just one year, Kazuo Inamori led Japan Airlines to achieve three world firsts: the world's first profit, the world's first punctuality rate, and the world's first service level; In just 424 days, Japan Airlines turned a profit of 188.4 billion yen, unprecedented in the history of Japanese Airlines. Kazuo Inamori's assertion before taking office that "the only way to rebuild JAL is to rely on philosophy and amoeba management" is not only a miracle, but also a pattern. Kazuo Inamori has infiltrated the management philosophy of love and altruism into the hearts of all employees, and has established a set of management systems related to the vital interests of each employee, so as to mobilize the initiative and creativity of all employees, which is the key to success.
5 traits of a good leader
A corporate mission typically represents the sum of a set of interdependent values and ways of behaving. These values and behaviors should be shared by employees, need to be accumulated over a long period of time, and need to be guided by the behavior of leaders. At the beginning of the corporate mission to promote the growth of business performance, at least two points are very important:
First, leaders must have (or create) a business guiding ideology that is compatible with the market operating environment.
Second, it is necessary to have a business strategy that can adapt to the market environment in which the enterprise is located and can bring business achievements. Therefore, in a rapidly changing world, leaders must not only have the ability to lead the business to achieve effective growth, but also be able to locate and develop the external environment when it changes. To accomplish such a requirement, a leader must have:
(1) Awareness and discernment(2) Extraordinary motivation and perseveranceand (3) the ability to change cultural assumptions(4) Have the willingness and ability to tolerate others(5) Ability to learn new cultures
In a crisis, managers must know how to find opportunities, seek any possibility, constantly analyze, and then give employees the confidence to make a clear choice.
In today's environment of unknown challenges and complex worlds, managers are especially required to have the willpower and determination to operate. 
The four mentalities of maintaining concentration
Uncertainty is a test for everyone, and it requires inner concentration. How to maintain inner concentration, I am afraid this is an even more difficult thing. From an observational point of view, maintaining inner concentration is related to the four mindsets.
(1) Positive attitudeThere is a company, they have a saying very well: everything is good to think about, do the good, there will be good results. With such a mentality, any change is an opportunity, and you are willing to do anything you want to do, and the result will be natural.
The biggest feature of uncertainty is the coexistence of opportunities and risks, and practice has proved that the main way to understand uncertainty risk is to take the initiative, because then you can know what the situation will be, and it is possible to find a solution. You need to be prepared to respond and solve problems at any time, and if you have a positive mindset, you will have the ability to take the initiative.
(2) The mentality of zeroingMindset zeroing is a very important training, and if you are always dwelling on the past, whether you dwell on success or failure, it is meaningless for what is going to happen.
Past successes cannot define the future, and every future needs to face new challenges and new successes to prove it; The experience of the past leads to the solution of future problems, and every future will create new problems and require new solutions. Therefore, mindset zeroing is not just a training, it should also become a habit.
(3) Be open-mindedTolerance, acceptance, and learning are even more important in a rapidly changing environment, and accepting changes, accepting challenges, and learning the unknown are the truths that everyone understands, and it takes an open mind to do this. At the same time, it is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that tolerance and acceptance are also requirements for oneself, and to tolerate oneself and accept oneself, so that when encountering challenges and impacts, you will not resist in order to protect yourself.
(4) A convicted mindsetBelieve in the traction of dreams and goals, which is not affected by environmental changes; Believe in the team strength of your partners, which can be assembled and accompany you to move forward and break through obstacles; Believe in action, your ability to act is beyond your imagination, as long as you do it, there will be results, and there are infinite possibilities.
If you face change with the willpower and determination to manage, change will gradually turn into an opportunity. (End of this article).
