Hi, here is HR New Logic - HRL!
Recently, a reporter learned that Meng Wanzhou, daughter of Ren Zhengfei, vice chairman, rotating chairman, and CFO of Huawei, will serve as Huawei's rotating chairman for the first time on April 1.
Since then, Meng Wanzhou will become Huawei's "supreme leader" and Huawei's first female helmsman.
Meng Wanzhou will be the first rotating chairman
On April 1 last year, Huawei announced that it had completed the election of the board of supervisors, and elected the chairman, supervisors, and alternate supervisors of the board of supervisors, with three rotating chairmen, Xu Zhijun, Hu Houkun, and Meng Wanzhou, each rotating for six months.
From April 1, 2022 ~ September 30, 2022, Mr. Ken Hu served as the rotating chairman of the board;
From October 1, 2022 ~ March 31, 2023, Mr. Xu Zhijun was the rotating chairman of the board;
Starting on April 1, 2023, the next one is Meng Wanzhou.
Hearing this, many people wondered if Ren Zhengfei said: "Meng Wanzhou will never be a successor, because she has no technical background." "How did it change?
As the saying goes, "Shibie should be impressed in three days", and now Meng Wanzhou's ability and strength have surpassed her father's expectations, allowing Ren Zhengfei to praise her as "a bird that cannot be burned, a phoenix." ”
Since joining Huawei, Meng Wanzhou has overcome difficulties all the way:
He joined Huawei in 1993 as a secretary, assisting the sales and service departments, responsible for trivial work such as switchboard transfer and document printing.
In 1998, Meng Wanzhou switched from administration to finance, handling financial work in every detail;
In 2003, Meng Wanzhou was responsible for establishing Huawei's unified global financial organization, further improving Huawei's organizational structure, business processes, financial systems, and IT platforms.
From 2005 to 2009, Meng Wanzhou led the establishment of five accounting sharing centers to cover and support global accounting work, and promoted the completion of Huawei's global centralized payment center in Shenzhen.
Since 2007, Meng Wanzhou has been responsible for implementing Huawei's integrated financial service transformation project, providing better, more accurate, and more valuable financial data for business organizations at all levels, and enabling Huawei to continue to provide customers with high-quality integrated solutions.
In 2011, Meng Wanzhou became Huawei's new board of directors and served as the company's executive director and CFO
......
From the perspective of Meng Wanzhou's qualifications, from the grassroots experience, financial management practice and reform ability is strong, in line with the needs of digital enterprise talents.
Huawei's financial system, which Meng Wanzhou personally participated in building, was also affirmed by Ren Zhengfei as the core point of Huawei's success.
Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei's senior management has come out of the front line, and it is fitting that Meng Wanzhou, who has been deeply engaged in Huawei for 30 years, is the rotating chairman.
The influence of leaders
A former Huawei employee told reporters, "At this time, Meng Wanzhou has a high reputation both externally and internally, and is more suitable for the role of rotating chairman." ”
Meng Wanzhou is a manager spelled out from the grassroots level, witnessing the most difficult moment of his father Ren Zhengfei, and he also experienced the most difficult darkest moment.
In December 2018, Meng Wanzhou was maliciously detained in Canada and was not able to return to China until September 25, 2021.
The tiger father has no dog daughter, and the tenacity in Meng Wanzhou is the same as Ren Zhengfei, in 1028 days and nights, Huawei did not bow his head, and Meng Wanzhou did not bow his head.
Before Meng Wanzhou returned to China, Huawei released semi-annual reports and annual reports, and Meng Wanzhou signed as the financial director, which means that Meng Wanzhou has never stopped working even if she is in prison.
Ren Zhengfei once said: "Let those who have a sense of mission, responsibility, and contribution be promoted quickly, so that they can make the best contribution at the best time, in the best role, and a few people can also be promoted out of the ordinary." Promotion is to set an example for the organization, and the power of example is infinite. ”
Meng Wanzhou set an example by shouldering the responsibility of Huawei's senior management, and made the determination to sacrifice herself and support Huawei, and this fortitude not only made Huawei people admire, but also Chinese people admired.
In addition, Meng Wanzhou, as Ren Zhengfei's daughter, has a stronger sense of identity and mission for the company, and is more committed to the development of Huawei.
As a manager, if you want the team to achieve performance, in addition to leading people, you must also be able to infect people, and role models like Meng Wanzhou will inevitably affect Huawei's people.
Years of grassroots experience, remarkable achievements and 3 years of "imprisonment" into butterflies have also allowed Meng Wanzhou to have enough capital to stand in the position of rotating chairman.
How does Huawei select cadres?
Huawei not only Meng Wanzhou, but also countless Meng Wanzhou after Meng Wanzhou, because Huawei's cadre training has never stopped.
When selecting cadres, Huawei focuses on selecting those who are truly highly compatible with Huawei in terms of core values, that is, what Huawei calls concentric people.
Senior cadres emphasize decisiveness, and if the business direction is wrong, it will affect the company's performance;
The middle level emphasizes comprehension as it connects strategy and execution;
The grassroots emphasize execution, and if there is a problem with grassroots implementation, all strategies are actually castles in the air.
There are clear rules and regulations for the training and selection of Huawei cadres:
1. Grassroots training stage: "Generals are beaten"
Huawei's cadres must emerge from practice, and Ren Zhengfei stressed that "we must first do one line of work, love one line of work, and specialize in one line within a very narrow scope." ”
At Huawei, only the top 25% of talents can be selected for cadres, which also means that everyone who wants to go up must first make achievements from their own positions, and only with excellent results can they prove your true skills.
2. The stage of combining training and battle: The "zhi" character of cadres is formed and grown
Ren Zhengfei asked Huawei cadres to follow the "zigzag" line and not promote cadres who rose directly from the chimney type. If cadres and talents do not flow, there will be a rigidity, which will disconnect the organs and the field, and Huawei will split sooner or later.
If a manager has done projects in R&D, finance and economics, and the front line, and has rich work experience, then he can consider problems with global thinking when he encounters them; If he grows up in a straight line, then his thinking will have limitations.
3. Middle- and high-ranking cadres should have a broad vision
In order to become a true "general", middle and senior cadres need to have a big vision, as big as astronomy and geography, but they must also be able to reap the benefits.
Ren Zhengfei: "I said at the cadres meeting, 'oppose senior backbones burying their heads in hard work', we should participate in more industry meetings and talk with people in the industry; a cup of coffee absorbs cosmic energy, dares to drink coffee with world celebrities, and listens to people's ideas, which will also inspire us and avoid detours." ”
Ren Zhengfei encouraged high-level cadres to go out for coffee, hoping that high-level officials could communicate more with the outside world, and the more business acumen and management level would be higher.
Write at the end
As a benchmark in the industry, Huawei's management system is not achieved overnight, but has undergone trials and tribulations, trial and error, and summarized theories.
Therefore, the person who can become the top leadership of Huawei must be the person who has been tested by Huawei and stood out.
Ren Zhengfei once said: "Meng Wanzhou has that optimistic and tenacious spirit, and is a fire phoenix that cannot be burned." ”
Perhaps under the leadership of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei will go to a higher level.
Meng Wanzhou is about to become Huawei's rotating chairman, are you looking forward to it?
