Hello everyone, welcome to pay attention and star advice management.
Guide:
After so many years of enterprise management and management consulting projects, and carrying out various management training, Lao K's experience is that management is becoming more and more simple and general.
It's the same whether it's a big business or a small business. The simpler, more versatile, and more efficient the management.
The following is the text.
Management is supposed to be very simple, because you think it's complicated, so it's complicated
1. For many managers, the management of large enterprises and small enterprises may not be the same.
Many people think the system is complicated when it comes to it. As soon as I heard Lao K talk about promoting the management system in small and medium-sized enterprises, it was so easy, and I felt that my head was big.

They believe that the management system, of course, is a very complex thing, and it is impossible to effectively implement it in a company of 30 people.
What Old K often hears is:
Alas, you say it lightly, can it be the same for large enterprises and small businesses?
Ha ha. In fact, these managers did not return to the original intention of management to understand what is a system and what is a management system.
For example, what you often see is a system like this:
You look carefully at the number of pages in the bottom left corner.
A financial management system, with 17 pages, is it complicated?
Of course it's complicated.
But that's not that complicated. The most complicated should be the laws of the country. Sprinkled with water, plus explanations, it is estimated that it is a thick book.
Let's look at another example of a simple system:
Today, the boss explained a financial sentence: From today onwards, the reimbursement form of more than 200 yuan must be signed by me before it can be reimbursed.
What is it?
It's also a system.
You see, simple or not?
It's very simple, just one sentence.
Is it a system?
It has to be.
This system conforms to the rigid and binding characteristics of the system.
Tomorrow, the boss will dare to let you roll up and leave.
So you see, the system can be very complicated, 17 pages or even a book thick;
It can also be very simple, a sentence is a system.
In the same way, a management system can be complex or simple.
PDCA can be a management system.
DMAIC can also be a management system.
Supplier management system ABC, budget management system, etc., are all systems.
However, the specific content and complexity of the budget system of large enterprises and the budget system of small enterprises are certainly not the same.
But isn't it still called the ** system?
Simple or complex, it's all systems.
Just like tea, no matter how you fry it, whether it is black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea or Tieguanyin, no matter what box or bag you use to package it, or a small pot of tea, what tea utensils you use to brew it, it is just a cup of tea.
2. Doesn't it seem like all of a sudden, management seems too simple to be true?
That's because we have seen too many complicated and complex management systems and systems, but we have never thought about how to simplify management.
A system is not written on a dozen pages, as if it is not called a system.
A management system must not draw dozens of arrows on the PPT, and it cannot be regarded as a management system.
If everyone has this kind of thinking, the system will inevitably become more and more complex, and the management system will become more and more complicated.
Therefore, 5S will become 9S, and the management cost will increase gradually, but the performance will not increase.
Because you only have the appearance of a complex system and a complicated management system in your heart;
I have never seen, or never thought about, what is a simple system or a simple management system.
So you haven't started to write the system yet, and you start to have a headache thinking about the system that you have to write dozens of pages. Thinking about the implementation of these dozens of pages of system, and the implementation of it in place, I am even more afraid of it.
But, you go back and look at it.
You look at a lot of successful entrepreneurs and their businesses, if you're lucky enough to go in and work or dig deeper, or if there's a negative press on the internet that day.
Everyone said: Hey, another grass platform team.
Why?
If you look at the perfect and complex system, standards, and systems in your mind, no matter how good the enterprise is, it will be a grass team.
This is not looking at the operation and management of a business, and it is not a health check-up with a physical examination form. Instead, they are holding a magnifying glass and a microscope to pick thorns and find faults.
Just like our body, if you hold a microscope or a detector, you will find that there are a lot of bacteria and viruses in the body. The face is uneven everywhere, pigmentation, acne, mites, all of which are problems......
Isn't this person going to live?
Of course not.
The human body is a dynamic system, and local problems do not have a big impact on health.
It's the same thing with managing a company.
3. That's why K often says that management can be flexible and simple.
Management can be very flexible and simple, the key is to see how the manager manages, whether it will be simple management.
For example, the ISO system can be used in multinational groups with 100,000 people, and it can also be used in small enterprises with 20 or even a few people.
The ISO management system framework of large enterprises and small enterprises is the same, and they are suitable for building blocks and modularization.
If the ISO system is not flexible, how can it be so universal, and only your company can't use it?
Just like an elephant and a baby elephant, with a nose, eyes, mouth, and four legs, everything is complete, and the appearance is the same, but the difference in size.
Therefore, it is very suitable for small enterprises to apply a mature management system, so easy.
Cheap and affordable.
Of course, everything must start from simple, starting from the core elements and key processes.
Isn't there a proverb that says Rome wasn't built in a day.
At the same time, Rome could not have been built on that scale without systematic design.
4. How to make management simple and flexible lies in the manager's management philosophy and management method
What is management? Colorless, odorless, and without a trace.
Whether management is simple or complex is in the mind of the manager.
You think it's simple, it's simple.
You think it's complicated, and it slowly becomes complicated.
It is actually your mind that determines your actions, and your actions lead to complex or simple results.
For small enterprises, it is from 0 to 1 to establish a local system and build a system.
You can't just copy Huawei and Haier, the more you learn it, the faster you die.
Because they're already 100 to 120 points. Your business is only 10 or 20 points.
Small and medium-sized enterprises, the first pursuit of survival and development.
More often, the consideration is about the tortoise and rabbit racing than endurance, how to make the stupid bird fly first, and find their own comparative advantage.
Rather than being like large enterprises, survival is no longer a problem, and the establishment of a mature system is more used to prevent systemic risks.
Their management system is relatively complex, and their system is relatively standardized, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the management cost is high.
Wouldn't it be the opposite for small businesses to learn from them, abandoning simplicity and pursuing complexity?
To learn, it is also to learn from what they have done since childhood.
I once wrote a text: learning from Huawei is not to learn its present, but to learn the management in the process of its development and how to improve management
That's what I'm talking about.
There are many companies that promote 5S management, and a complete set of norms has come up all of a sudden, and the original quality of employees has certainly not reached the level that Japanese companies have been promoting for decades, and of course he feels that it is very "hindering".
At best, you can speed things up, but you can't expect it to happen overnight.
5. To sum up, simple management is king
Whether it is a large enterprise or a small enterprise, management is always at the service of operation.
Management must be goal-oriented, simple and efficient.
When the management of an enterprise is very complicated, it is actually you, as a manager, who think about management too complicated.
Only if you want to manage simply, it will become easier and simpler.
