Chapter Twenty-Three: The Goal That Can Never Be Attained
Often, the way to motivate people is to pay objectively, just as companies try to offer higher wages to boost employees' motivation, which is often the most effective way people can think of to increase efficiency. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, there are two main limitations to this method, one is that the increase in reward is not unlimited, when the reward reaches a certain critical value, the increase in the increase in morale will decrease, and eventually, it will be reduced to the extent that the increased reward does not match the increase obtained. The second is that remuneration is actually a thing that lacks universality, and in the workplace, wage increases are universal, but in the work of the executive committee, each person's needs are different, and therefore, the way in which they are motivated to be more efficient is also different.
The other way is coercion - this kind of coercion is certainly not the oppression of the power from above, but the belief that if we do not work according to the existing resentment, we will not be able to accomplish our tasks, and at this time, as long as a few people around us lead the way and form a sense of tension, even those who lack tension will involuntarily work hard. The most typical example of this is the pre-exam revision, which can be prepared two weeks in advance, but if everyone starts preparing a month in advance, it can give the illusion that "if you don't work as hard as everyone else, you will fail". This is actually the practice of the Executive Committee under the leadership of the snow.
A prerequisite for this approach is to convince everyone that they have an insurmountable goal in front of them that they must deal with – in the case of exams, this depends on the compulsion of exams, which in the case of the Executive Committee under the Snow Leader derives from the irrefutable authority of the Executive Chairman. Because the chairman of the committee shows the correctness of her machine-like precision and the correctness of all her judgments, everyone will have the illusion that "what is said under the snow is right", and they will involuntarily obey her.
However, it is precisely because this goal depends on Xuexia himself, so when there is a problem with this delicately constructed machine under the snow, people will begin to doubt the authority of the chairman - when people begin to question this, even if Xuexia comes back in time, it will take a long time to quell this wave of riots, not to mention that the authority of the current turmoil is a huge difference between Isshiki and me compared to Xuexia.
So, to rekindle the fighting spirit, we need to do something else.
Lower authority than under the snow is, in a way, our advantage.
Therefore, this new method is not a strange method, but the most typical and effective method - the method of agitation.
And the core of this method is in me.
As a result of democratic elections, Isshiki's ability to serve as chairman of the committee is not as strong as that of Yukishita, but his basic authority will not be questioned by others for a short time. However, Yubihama, who has been a self-proclaimed spokesperson for himself from the very beginning, is no more ironic than Kazuya Yubihama, a first-year student who lacks connections, popularity, and legitimacy, and uses his "special relationship" with the chairman of the committee to show off his might.
Although the committee is filled with a large number of people who are indifferent to cultural sacrifices – but only indifferent to things that are not directly related to them, when this small character interferes with their actions and they find themselves unable to compete with each other in their demands, the first thing they question is the legitimacy of the other party.
- It's as if pulling this "illegal" figure out of power can change their situation.
Of course, it's not enough to use me as a target, because getting other people to focus their fire on me doesn't change the fact that they don't want to work, so we need a way to get their attention away from me and away from work.
And that's what I call "legitimacy."
Now, the source of legitimacy for the position I'm in is Isshiki support – this personal relationship is the most questionable point. So, to shape my legitimacy, and at the same time to make people feel that legitimacy is precarious, I need to rely on Yukino who is not in school right now.
Although there is some use of the minister, it is also more or less to maintain the minister's achievements, isn't it?
There will be people on the executive committee who don't like under the snow, there will be people who like under the snow, there will be people who respect under the snow, and there will be people who can't get used to her style, but there is no doubt that there are no people in the executive committee who question the ability under the snow. Yukishita's authority as the chairman of the committee is based on her super personal ability - or in other words, even if Yukishita is not the chairman, such as letting that Sagami Minami be the chairman, and letting Yukishita just become her deputy, it is Yukishita who ultimately has the legitimacy.
Therefore, Yubihama and also want to help Ichiyuki establish legitimacy for himself, and he only needs to reach the level of Yukino under the snow.
To be honest, I can't guarantee whether I can take the place under the snow - but even if I can take the place under the snow, I can't act like I can take the place under the snow.
As long as I show a level that I try so hard to replace the snow, but can't do anything about it, the questioning of my legitimacy will not stop – but the person who can really question my legitimacy must be someone who can act better than me.
So, in the work of the Executive Committee, I just need to always be a little bit better than the others – a little bit that seems to make up for it, but can never catch up.
In order to question me, they need to question my legitimacy, and in order to question my legitimacy, they have to prove that they can perform better than me - and in this constant cycle, when they realize that they are just being run by my rhythm, the end is already doomed.
It's like tying a fleshy bone to a dog's body with a leash and hanging it in front of the dog's eyes to force it to keep running, and although it seems to be within reach, it can never be reached.
I used to like to use this method to fool people, and when the third-year members of the soccer club began to rely on the old and try to challenge my authority because of the "unexpected" good results of the previous year, I drew them such wonderful flesh and bones, and then they honestly followed the line I had set for them, and continued to move forward with self-righteousness.
Honestly, it's boring – but so effective.
Because the masses are such a group of ignorant people who can be called upon as long as they grasp it well.
--------------------------------------- Dividing Line-------------------------------------------
"Before you get to work, I'd like to introduce myself to those of you who have doubts about my identity," I began my speech in a frustrated atmosphere, "I don't know how many people know me — I tend not to know many people who know me. One year in Group F, Kazuya Yuhihama, the biggest thing since entering the school should be playing a football game with Hayama-senpai in the second grade?But maybe people who don't know about this gossip still haven't heard of me. ”
I paused, glanced at the look of disdain in the eyes of the vast majority of people, and continued: "Of course, I don't mind if you haven't heard of me, I want you to know that I was the last person to see the chairman last night, before the snow left. ”
Even the faces of Ichise, who supported me, and the mayor of the castle, who was silently observing the situation in the classroom, changed color a little—this situation like that of the ancient Chinese emperor Tuogu was obviously unexpected by them.
However, I won't sit under the snow to "support the orphan", with the minister's stubborn character, if I falsify such a state that makes her show weakness, I think she has a reason to explode after she returns.
"Of course, the chairperson didn't say anything to me, I was a member of her community before, so we just met and walked together for a while. However, at that time, I had already noticed that something was wrong with the state of my predecessors under the snow. ”
As I narrated, the faces of the executive committee members were as if they were playing a game, ranging from disgust, to shock, to renewed disdain.
"So, at that time, I had an idea, if the seniors under the snow can't support it now, then how should the work of the executive committee be carried out, and who will replace the chairman to complete her part?"
"Well, indeed, probably out of the duty of the minister's minister, I considered the situation, and I thought that I could try to take her place, though I didn't think it was possible at the time. However, now, after the problem of the chairman of the committee under the snow was exposed, and with the permission of Isshiki-san, I felt that I wanted to try and replace the senior under the snow. ”
There was a sudden silence in the classroom of the committee, and then there was a voice of discussion, and this voice became louder and louder, not only the executive committee members who were dissatisfied with me before, but also many members who had done their work seriously and had a good impression of the snow, and perhaps, the latter's distrust of me was even higher than that of the former.
After all, who wants to believe that a first-year student who hasn't made any waves after six months of enrollment can take the place of the perfect second-year genius Yukishita?
"Replacing the chairman of the committee under the snow or something, that guy is joking, right?"
"Do you really think that with the support of another executive chairman, you can do whatever you want?"
"If you're really so capable, why didn't you run for the chairman of the executive committee in the first place? Probably because you don't have confidence in yourself, so you take advantage of the troubled waters when your classmates have problems under the snow?"
"Maybe, what he said about knowing his classmates under the snow, or meeting yesterday, is also false?"
Of course, what I somewhat did not expect was that, objectively, my "arrogant" declaration added a lot of impression points to the snow, after all, what was lost is always beautiful, especially when the candidate to replace the all-powerful chairman is such a small person who does not know the height of the sky, people will miss those people they have lost more and more.
Well, Minister, if you can control these people more easily when you come back, I think you should make a note of my merits!
"Well, I understand the doubts and worries of your seniors - of course, I hope these worries are just coming at me, and I will be very troubled if everyone understands that it is the result of the dissatisfaction with Isshiki-san as a result of his excessive trust in me," I turned my head and smiled at Ichishiki-swipe, who seemed to have no expectation of me doing this, and was a little stunned for a moment, and finally, as if she were a normal shy girl.
It's also an unexpected bonus to be able to see this expression of a color feather!
"So, for my position, I'm open to competition. If anyone thinks they can do a better job and be more efficient than me, then I'm sure I'll be happy to replace me with someone more capable—after all, everyone's goal isn't the preparation of a cultural festival, isn't it?"
"—So, how do we prove that we can do better than you?" Finally, after a long silence, someone spoke, but the senior of Hayasaka Kinshi, who had just been angry with me, spoke at this time, somewhat to my surprise, "After all, our work content is different, right?"
"It's very simple, I just took a look at your progress, and in the schedule that Chairman Xuexia gave you, there are the minimum and maximum indicators for completing the task, and in the same way, in her own schedule, there are also minimum indicators of 60% and maximum indicators of 100% As the seniors judged, you can't always meet the requirements of the highest index, then, I declare that as long as any of you here surpasses me in the index of completing the task, then it will be judged your victory, and if you are never able to surpass me, then I hope you will admit that I am qualified to replace the seniors under the snow. ”
Of course, I know that in the beginning, no one will do their best, they all want to achieve the greatest success at the minimum cost, and this is what I want, if the others do not choose not to do their best at the beginning, then I don't need to do my best, I just need to be subtly "a little" ahead of them - as for how to judge this "one point", as the chairman of the executive committee, Ichiyu will help me.
"Na, Kazuya, you say, am I also in this competition?" asked Isshiki with a smile as he raised his hand.
"Uh, of course, Isshiki-san if you want—"
Hey, this guy, what a mess at this time!
"That's no problem, I have a chance!" Isseki nodded, and said something that made me a little confused.
However, this is not something I need to pay attention to for the time being, because the eyes of other people make me more interested.
Everyone stared at me with the eyes of their prey.
But, guys, who is the prey, you may not know!
