Would rather compensate 1 billion yuan, but also to quit 7,000 old employees, Ren Zhengfei's approach 99% of people can not understand?
In 2007, Huawei's actual sales revenue reached $12.5 billion, surpassing Nortel Network to officially become the world's fifth-largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer.
But Ren Zhengfei's goal is not here, he said that Huawei wants to be in the global telecommunications industry and the domestic giant in the three worlds when Huawei was founded not long ago.
This year, but also the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Huawei, a company founded only 10 years, has entered the world's top five, I have to say that it is a very great company, many Huawei employees also feel that the company has achieved such results, you can sit back and relax, you should take a breath and enjoy life.
This kind of thinking quickly spread throughout Huawei, ren Zhengfei sniffed the crisis from it, so he shouted "winter is coming" for the third time, he reminded all Huawei people that the economic situation may decline, and Huawei may be in difficulty in the next few years.
However, to stimulate the morale of all employees, it is not enough to just shout slogans, so Ren Zhengfei took the lead himself, proposed his resignation to the company, called on all old employees to resign, and then re-competed for jobs.
A total of 7,000 people resigned collectively from Huawei this time, and the compensation paid by Huawei for this was as high as 1 billion yuan, which became a hot event in that year and has been often mentioned until now. It is also this collective resignation incident that makes all Huawei employees aware of the sense of crisis, and only when everyone has the "spirit of a strivers", Huawei can stay away from the day of death.
The truth of the matter is that all the old employees, through the competition again, most of them have the opportunity to re-enter the job, and only 68 people were eliminated in the end.
Keeping the company up and down with a sense of crisis at all times is the basic reason why Huawei has experienced setbacks and can become stronger and stronger.
In the book "Huawei Management Law", it is mentioned that Huawei has two secrets that are not secrets in management:
1. Strivers-oriented. There is a very famous saying within Huawei: Our life is painful and happy, and the strivers are the core strength of Huawei, and they are the main force that promotes Huawei's continuous progress and growth, but Huawei has a unique interpretation of "strivers".
Ren Zhengfei clearly pointed out that any small activity that creates value for customers, as well as in the preparation of labor, to enrich themselves and improve their own efforts, is called struggle, otherwise, no matter how tired they are, they cannot be called struggle.
Working at Huawei, the remuneration obtained is directly proportional to the value created by itself, if you spend a lot of time doing useless work, not only will you not get paid, but you will also be eliminated by the last-place elimination system.
2, the wolf spirit is never outdated, everyone knows that the wolf is a fierce animal, with a keen sense of smell and intuition, seeing the prey will be desperate to launch an attack, until the hunt is successful.
Huawei also advocates that all employees have a wolf spirit, and will never give up after discovering the goal, but will follow it indomitably, as long as there is still a glimmer of opportunity. Moreover, Wolf also has a lot of team spirit and pays attention to collaboration, so Huawei also advocates team spirit and abandons individual heroism.
The development of each enterprise needs a group of "wolves" in their respective posts, working with colleagues to fight in battle, so whether it is entrepreneurs, executives, ordinary migrant workers, Huawei is a model worth learning, learning from the spirit of wolves, taking its essence, going to its dross, fighting and fighting in the fierce market competition. Fight on the road to success and make great strides.
