Recently, Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental, has encountered a problem in the process of divide and rule, did he underestimate Dong Yuhui's influence?
Yu Minhong's divide and conquer
As the founder of New Oriental, Yu Minhong has been committed to pushing the company to a higher goal. However, with the intensification of market competition and the intensification of internal contradictions, Yu Minhong began to consider adopting a divide-and-conquer strategy, splitting the company's business into different departments in order to better manage and operate. The original intention of this strategy is to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and make the company more robust.
The rise of Dong Yuhui
Dong Yuhui is a young talent at New Oriental, who has made a name for himself in the education industry with his excellent teaching ability and personal charisma. His emergence has brought new vitality and opportunities to New Oriental, and has also become an emerging force within the company. However, with the rise of Dong Yuhui, his differences and contradictions with Yu Minhong gradually emerged.
Lao Yu's tiger riding is difficult
Faced with the strategy of divide and rule and the rise of Dong Yuhui, Yu Minhong fell into a difficult situation of riding a tiger. On the one hand, he hopes to improve the company's operational efficiency and management through divide and rule, but on the other hand, he fears that this strategy will weaken his control and make the rise of emerging forces like Dong Yuhui pose a threat to his position. At the same time, Dong Yuhui's personality is different from Yu Minhong's, he is more radical and dares to challenge authority, which also makes Lao Yu feel uneasy.
In this case, how should Yu Minhong respond? Should he adhere to the divide-and-conquer strategy, or should he re-examine his own decision-making? How to balance the development of the company and the stability of his personal position? These questions not only troubled Yu Minhong himself, but also made the outside world full of expectations and concerns about the future development of New Oriental.
The main reasons for Yu Minhong's difficulty in riding a tiger are as follows:
- The balance between decentralization and centralization: In enterprise management, decentralization and centralization are an eternal topic. Yu's divide-and-conquer strategy is designed to improve efficiency, but it can also lead to decentralization of power, challenging one's authority. How to balance the relationship between decentralization and centralization, not only to ensure the stable development of the company, but also to stimulate the innovative spirit of emerging forces, is a difficult problem.
- Personality differences and team integration: The rise of emerging forces such as Dong Yuhui has brought new vitality and opportunities to New Oriental. However, there are certain differences between their personalities and Yu Minhong's. How to integrate team members with different personalities to form a joint force and jointly promote the development of the company is a problem that Yu Minhong needs to think about.
- Adjustment of strategic decision-making: In the face of rapid changes in the market and new situations within the company, Yu Minhong needs to adjust strategic decisions in a timely manner. How to flexibly respond to various challenges and changes under the premise of maintaining the company's stable development is a major test in front of Yu Minhong.
To sum up, Yu Minhong faced many challenges and dilemmas in the process of divide and rule. In order to get out of this predicament, he needed to re-examine his strategy and decision-making, and find a balance that would ensure the company's stable growth and stimulate the team's innovative spirit. At the same time, he also needs to actively adjust strategic decisions to respond to rapid changes in the market and new situations within the company. Only in this way can Lao Yu find a way out of the difficult situation of riding a tiger and lead New Oriental to a brighter future.
