Fable Story Three monks have no water to drink and everyone is rotten: one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. Why are there too many people and no water to drink?
When you are alone, you carry water for your own needs, when you are two people, you carry water for the common good; when you are three people, you have dependent thoughts, you don't want to contribute to yourself, and you blame each other on the issue of water, and as a result, no one will take water, and everyone will have no water to drink later.
Too many people doing the same thing will make everyone think in their hearts: anyway, everyone does the same thing, I do less or don't do it, naturally someone will do it, and it will not be detected in the large group. The result is that you don't do it, I don't do it, and in the end everyone doesn't do it.
German researcher Ringermann found that when the team is working, the members of the group will have a tendency to be lazy, which is the so-called "social laziness". Hence the name "Ringermann effect".
Many people only work out of work and do not contribute, just like Mr. Nan Guo. If there is a teamwork, if there is no strict rules and regulations and discipline, it is easy to have a mess.
There are many such cases in real life, when alone is "God", omnipotent, and does a good job; but once you cooperate with people, you become more efficient, and you don't do as well as when you are alone.
When you put your hopes in others, you choose to wait, and when you put your hopes in yourself, you choose to run.
If it is just a simple call to say: "Everyone should work together, mutual assistance and cooperation", in fact, there is no effect, "everyone work together, work hard" The result will only be that everyone is lazy and slow, which will only help the inertia of the growing family, which is equivalent to becoming the most inefficient practice and becoming social laziness.
Before the production line did not come out, the work efficiency was actually very low, it takes eighteen processes to make a needle, and a person can't do 20 a day alone, but everyone only does one process, so the average person can make 4800.
The most basic principle of the production line is that one person only does the same thing, only cuts, polishes only grinds, and each person is only responsible for one of the processes, not only can be practiced, but also significantly improved through joint collaboration.
Sometimes 1 + 1 = 2 or even more, sometimes 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 0, just like pulling a carriage, if everyone is working hard in different directions, then the carriage will stand still, and the effort will be wasted.
So to avoid the Ringermann effect, there should be a perfect system, and then perform their duties, you do this, he does that, only carefully arrange what everyone should do, this is the way to improve efficiency.
Clear responsibility, formulate rules, rewards and punishments can effectively avoid social laziness, as long as the goal is clear, the responsibility to the people, the entire system can be perfected.
If three monks are together and you can have one monk carry water, one monk cleans, and one monk cooks, then the problem is solved. Everyone performs their duties and works together to create a good atmosphere.
