Catfish Effect:
Sardines have a very low survival rate during transportation, and if you put a catfish in the sardines, the survival rate will be greatly improved. It turns out that after catfish arrive in an unfamiliar environment, they will be "irritable" and swim around, which undoubtedly plays a stirring role for a large number of quiet sardines; The sardines found an additional "alien molecule" and became very nervous, so they accelerated their swimming. In this way, the problem of lack of oxygen in sardines will be solved, and the sardines will not die. Later generations called this phenomenon the "catfish effect".
For enterprises, the first is to constantly replenish fresh blood, introduce those young talents who are full of vitality and quick thinking into the workforce and even the management, and bring competitive pressure to those lazy employees and bureaucrats who are stuck in their laurels and conformism, in order to arouse the "sardines" sense of survival and the heart of competition to win. The second is to continuously introduce new technologies, new processes, new equipment, and new management concepts, so that enterprises can fight the wind and waves in the market tide and enhance their viability and adaptability. However, although the catfish effect has certain benefits, it may also bring huge drawbacks if it is used too frequently, such as too many outsiders may cause the internal harmony atmosphere to be broken, resulting in a decline in internal cohesion, and even contradictions, and may also bring the idea of hopeless promotion to old employees.
