Panasonic founder Konosuke Panasonic once raised a question at his staff meeting: If there are customers outside who come to visit the company and ask us what products the company manufactures, how should we answer? Employees said there was no doubt that Panasonic must have made electrical appliances. The answer given by Panasonic Konosuke is that our company manufactures Panasonic people.
This is Panasonic Konosuke's very famous "before making products, first create people" theory, only an excellent Panasonic employee group, it is possible to create excellent Panasonic products and services that are accepted by market customers.
In his last speech titled "Responsibility, Honor, and Country," the famous American military scientist MacArthur told how a veteran connected his life's professional glory to the army and country he worked for.
In fact, this also applies to the relationship between enterprises and employees. Every employee wants to achieve their professional glory, and no one likes to jump ship every day and let their career fluctuate continuously. Employees want to have a good organizational platform to carry their professional glory.
But think about it, when each of us wants to achieve our professional glory, the first thing you need to fulfill is the responsibility that the organization has given you and the specific responsibilities you have in a position. When we work together to create a good enterprise and a sustainable organization, this enterprise will definitely give every employee the glory of the profession.
As a core member of the management team, what everyone does every day is nothing more than how to link the heartfelt needs of each individual employee with the organizational goals of the entire enterprise to achieve a win-win situation between the individual employee and the enterprise organization. This is the responsibility of an effective manager.
But leading the team is quite complicated, because the complexity of human nature exceeds our imagination, people's psychological activities are very complex, and people's needs are also diversified, which greatly increases the complexity and difficulty of management. Therefore, how do we meet the individual human needs of employees while achieving the management goals of the entire organization, which may be the most important starting point for the construction of various systems and various incentive policies of our enterprises.
