For a company, business and capital are not the most important, business can be expanded and replaced, funds can be attracted and deployed, only talents are not easy to replace, talents are the most important assets.
It is precisely because of the importance of talents, so we must use good people, so what kind of people should we choose when employing people?
Usually, we are faced with three choices when hiring people:
The first, the perfect man;
Second, people with ordinary ability and strong execution;
Third, people with personalities and flaws.
If it were you, which one would you choose?
For me, I never choose the perfect guy.
Ren Zhengfei once said such a passage: "A perfect person is a useless person, our company never uses up people, as soon as I see this person pursuing perfection, I know that this person has no hope." ”
I think so, and I said at the book club that there are often two situations for seemingly perfect people:
The first case is false, the perfect person is unreal, such a person does not exist.
Second, he seems to be a perfect person, but he is only rhetorical, may be good, talk about the sky, but will not fall to the ground.
Scientists have also concluded that humans cannot have perfect "super brains."
Why? A person can gain superhuman intelligence, extraordinary memory, or extraordinary attention, but when he makes a breakthrough in some cognitive function, he has to pay elsewhere.
Human energy is limited and it is impossible to do everything. You want to be a perfect person who can do everything well, how is it possible?
I like the second type of person, who may not be particularly qualified, but have strong execution and hard work. In the corporate structure, this type of person is very large, and this type of person is also very important. We coach our employees, focusing on coaching this part of the people, so as to improve their ability to move in the direction of star employees.
So how to tutor? There is a team training method in the management workshop, which includes common tutoring and personalized tutoring, you can click to read the original article and sign up for the management workshop.
My favorite is the third kind of person, who is very capable and has personality, but also has flaws. In general, the more capable people are, the more obvious the disadvantages.
I've always had a point of view: don't believe that someone who doesn't have personality and flaws is a very capable person.
So there are often people with very obvious strengths and weaknesses, who are most likely to become your star employees, and the key is to see how you use him.
Of course, the shortcomings I am talking about should not be principled shortcomings, it cannot be that there is a problem with the character, and the person with the character problem must not use it.
Whether the third type of person is used well or not depends on the level of the manager. So where are they to be used?
You can put them in very important positions, target their strengths, and use them on the cutting edge. "Promote the strengths of people, avoid the shortcomings of people", the most see the level of employment of managers.
