Last night, a friend frantically complained to me in WeChat about her perverted boss, stepping on the meeting at 9 o'clock every day, staring at who was late, sweeping the office after work, and seeing who left work early. What's even more terrifying is that I actually used a trumpet to quietly enter the WeChat group of colleagues and added her friends.
I was confused, thinking that she had been sexually harassed, and later learned that many people had been added to the friends. To be honest, I can't figure out what the boss is trying to do.
But I understand a word from my friend, the boss is a control freak. Usually work like a stalker, call you from time to time, go to the toilet and stop by the office to see how everyone is working, and even install a monitor.
Under this close monitoring, the company has trained a hand of anti-reconnaissance up and down. Unexpectedly, the boss was skilled and would use a trumpet.
The purpose is self-evident, one is to know what the colleagues are talking about, and the other is to monitor everyone's circle of friends by the way.
Friends complained, I don't know if it is the boss trumpet is fine, but it was also discovered. Nor is deletion, nor is it deletion. Colleagues had no choice but to build a weChat group, and the lively place in the past became the main battlefield for kneeling and licking the boss. Of course, the circle of friends should also be shielded, but when I think of it, the boss's all-pervasive mentality always feels that the grouping is not reliable, and it is simply not sent.
It is said that many people are looking for jobs outside.
Later, I talked about this matter with my colleagues and found that this kind of boss is not uncommon in the market. Some are psychopaths, some are really unable to control themselves, one is afraid of employees leaking, the other is afraid of employees stealing and slipping, only to do everything, always monitoring, but they are tired to death, employees also complain.
Such a boss is really quite stupid.
A self-disciplined person, whether you care about it or not, he can do a good job. People who are not self-disciplined, you hold a little whip every day, and he is full of thoughts about how to run. Good employees are never managed, and self-motivation is never forced out.
Our boss has a set of stunts to save waste firewood, and he has tried it many times. The secret is three words: do as you please.
With these three words, Sheng Sheng forced a post-90s out of the "boss thinking". In the past, we, the post-90s, could not get up in the morning, could not stay up at night, took a vacation without a word, did not ask, and absolutely did not report to you on the progress of the project. Colleagues tried all kinds of supervision methods, but the mud could not support the wall.
As a result, as soon as the boss came out, less than a month later, he was refined into a capable general. Every day, I chase my colleagues to learn, open my mouth and shut my mouth to talk to you about work, and the project is doing a lot of work.
Later, when I asked, I learned that the boss threw him a project and you did it yourself. No one to accompany him to the meeting, no one to help him with the customer, when he is dumbfounded, he is humiliated and thrown into doubt.
When the boss reflected later, he said that this was also an experiment of his, sometimes leading the team is similar to taking children, you manage too much, it is easy to teach low-energy children. We must push them into society with great heart, although the aftermath is not easy, but in the long run, it is beneficial and harmless.
If you want the migrant worker to have a boss mentality, you have to give him the atmosphere of being a boss first, and even let him feel the pressure of being a boss. More importantly, give him trust.
The more you trust someone, the more that person will go in the direction you want.
Over the years, I have seen too many bosses who only do things and will not care about people, exhaust themselves, and do not get the understanding and understanding of employees.
Employees have boss thinking, the boss can lie down and win. But the process is not easy, you have to bear the black pot left by the employees, for them to resist the cost of growth.
Knowing how to let go is an ability, but also a psychological quality.
Smart boss, the desire to control is never strong.
Buffett is a role model for this.
He bought many businesses, but rarely did it himself.
The companies he acquired would basically use the original managers to operate. Buffett says he's never had the desire to overstep his bounds. He always expressed his gratitude to his partners with appreciation and full authorization.
It is also because of this mentality that Buffett acquired the Illinois National Bank and Trust Company after the founder of this company, Ewing. Aberg is 71 years old and is still willing to run the company for Buffett.
Without the help of these people, Buffett would not have been able to have the wealth he has today. Many people talk about Buffett's business approach, no matter how advanced his investment philosophy is, what really makes him a god is the ability to recognize people, employ people, and cooperate with people.
A successful boss, that is, without him, the company can still operate normally, or even develop better. But not every company can do that.
For example, JD.com. Liu Qiangdong is notoriously controlling, so that as soon as the scandal came out, JD.com's stock price plummeted, and many people in the industry said that Jingdong, which lost Liu Qiangdong, may lose the helmsman.
This sentence is not a compliment to the boss.
Luo Zhenyu once talked about the importance of centralized organizational systems in the past. He once made an analogy that a decentralized organization is like a starfish, and even if you cut off one arm, that arm can evolve into another starfish. And centralized organizations are like spiders, if you get the head off the spider, then the spider is completely dead, and the whole system is ruined.
Therefore, not knowing how to let go will not only hinder the development of a company, but even sometimes, it is fatal. This is also why many entrepreneurs can go from 0 to 1, but it is difficult to go from 1 to 100, a person's time and energy are too limited, the highest state of being a boss is to make money lying down.
Two days ago, I talked with my colleagues about whether to punch in or not, and some people said that punching is good, most people can't be self-disciplined, and they must be restrained by punching. Others feel that this punch card system means that the company does not trust employees at all.
I am a staunch supporter of the latter, as Bai Yansong said: Any unit, as long as it begins to emphasize discipline such as attendance and clock-in, must be the time when it goes downhill.
Kingston, the world's largest producer of storage products, was named one of the "Best Employers in America" by Fortune magazine.
The 3,000-strong group of companies operates the principles of unorganized, undisciplined, and unprincipled management. Employees do not punch in at work, the company has no performance appraisal, a person enters the job, the whole family has medical insurance, if the employee is pregnant, the treatment is even more favorable. The whole company basically belongs to the state of "nothing".
The founders of this enterprise are Sun David and Du Jichuan, both Chinese, they all firmly believe that "at the beginning of man, the nature is good" and "do not do to others" principle, they believe that as long as the enterprise is for the sake of employees, employees will use their hard work to repay the company.
Many people in the industry have questioned this management method, which will lead the company to extinction, but now the company's revenue exceeds $6.5 billion, and it has always been a leading position in the industry, which makes many people sigh.
Smart people, do something, do something don't.
Carlos Ghosn, CEO of two car companies in France and Nissan in Japan, revealed in an interview with Harvard Business Review how he managed both companies at the same time.
His approach is worry-free, scheduling a decision-making week every month. Find a week in a month, gather with your colleagues in Japan, and compress the things that need to be decided in this time period to make decisions. The same approach is taken for the team at Renault france. The rest of the time is left to the top management and the teams to be freely distributed and fully decentralized.
Some people think that employees will disperse regardless of it, in fact, the so-called management is completely the boss himself cheating himself.
There is a saying that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. The boss once said to me that managing a team is similar to falling in love, and the more you suppress it, the more others want to break free. Invisibly, a lot of time is wasted on pulling each other.
Kai-Fu Lee once said that smart people stay in the company for two reasons, one of which is that he knows that his boss has feelings for him. Second, he wants to be trusted and empowered so that he can play his value.
Smart leaders understand that really good employees can't stand to manage, and those who can really manage are not good employees. Leadership is an art that relies on appeal, not brute force.
