Tonight I was chatting with a friend, and he said that he had just worked and did the assembly line at Panasonic Air Conditioning Company in Guangzhou. Every Monday, the management personnel above the head of the department (supervisor) will stand in two rows on both sides of the door, and when they see employees entering the factory, they will bow their heads and say to the employees: Good morning! At that time, as an employee, I was very flattered, and my work attitude, communication with leaders, and collaboration among colleagues throughout the week were full of enthusiasm and patience.
Japanese enterprises are lifelong employment system, management culture attaches importance to loyalty and fine, people-oriented, this way to break the class relationship, close the relationship between management and employees, can break the communication barrier, enhance cohesion.
In China, it is not very suitable for this way of management, there is a generational gap between the elders and the younger generations, the management personnel have a natural reverence for the post, once the management, even if it is small management, it is easy to breed the pleasure of controlling power, and it is naturally impossible to bow down to greet the employees.
In addition, young people now advocate freedom and unrestrained, listen to the inner voice, if they see the leader standing at the door in the morning and greeting themselves with their heads bowed, they will feel contrived and have the suspicion of whether there is anything to offer. Now young people are pursuing respect in the workplace, and it is a harmonious way of natural equality, not a deliberate way.
This management method in Japan is not bad, but in the domestic cultural context, it has not yet grasped this form of measurement, deliberately introduced and used, and cannot play a real management role.
Do you think this management is good? What do you think about that?
