Chapter 105: The Retrograde of the Short Board Effect
As soon as Qi Shaotang left, Li Jiatao said to Lu Tao with a smile: "Secretary, I still live in the county party committee guest house, and I will keep this key first." ”
"It's fine." Lu Tao looked at Li Jiatao for a while, then nodded and smiled slightly, "There will always be bread, don't worry." ”
Lu Tao still admires Li Jiatao's behavior of knowing the overall situation and not being greedy for small gains. Of course, Lu Tao knew that Li Jiatao's worth had already exceeded one million, and a house might not be able to impress Li Jiatao. But many people are insatiable, never dislike money, insatiable, and there are countless examples of this!
Nothing to be courteous, either annihilation or theft. As the director of the county party committee office, Qi Shaotang approached the new county party secretary Lu Tao, which seemed natural. But Qi Shaotang actually deliberately befriended Lu Tao's secretary Li Jiatao, and in front of Lu Tao, which was a bit too much.
For the first time, if he could recruit Qi Shaotang, the chief housekeeper of the county party committee and member of the standing committee of the county party committee, Lu Tao would still be very happy. But Lu Tao needs a natural effect, not so abrupt!
Officialdom pays attention to depth and demeanor, and although thick black learning is a necessary lesson, it is also slightly superficial and easy to criticize. If it weren't for the last resort, few people would be shameless to make friends with a subordinate.
Li Jiatao, as the secretary of Lu Tao, secretary of the county party committee, is the natural "first secretary" of Xiaolei County, but no matter what, Li Jiatao is also under the jurisdiction of Qi Shaotang, director of the county party committee office, and is a natural subordinate of Qi Shaotang. Qi Shaotang deliberately befriended Li Jiatao, but he still fell behind.
Lu Tao really couldn't think of any benefits he could give Li Jiatao all of a sudden, so he could only use words like "bread will always be there" to be sloppy.
Li Jiatao consciously fulfilled his duties as a secretary, first made a cup of Tieguanyin green tea for Lu Tao, and then began to sort out the documents in the filing cabinet. As for the documents on the desk, Li Jiatao plans to come early tomorrow morning before Lu Tao goes to work. After all, Lu Tao sat at his desk and felt a little embarrassed to tinker with it himself.
Li Jiatao is accustomed to dividing documents into four grades for processing, the first category, important and urgent; the second category, important but not urgent; the third category, which is not important but urgent; The fourth category is neither important nor urgent.
Lu Tao looked at the document for a while, and suddenly asked out loud: "Jiatao, your classification is a bit different." How do you get the urgent documents to the third place? ”
Li Jiatao replied with a smile: "I personally pay more attention to effect than efficiency. If you think there's a problem, I'll adjust the order. ”
Lu Tao naturally understood the meaning of Li Jiatao's words, only important things can be effective, and although urgent things seem to be very efficient, they may not be effective, because urgent things are not necessarily done will produce results and have results. This is especially true in the officialdom, as the secretary of the county party committee, if you want to talk about urgent matters, I am afraid that it will not stop all day long!
The reason why many leading cadres are busy every day is that they deal with urgent matters all day long, focusing on the efficiency of their work rather than the actual results!
After pondering for a while, Lu Tao smiled and said, "Your method is also quite good, try it first." ”
Li Jiatao is relieved, and with a smart leader, he will be much easier. If you have to explain everything by yourself, or if you don't listen to your own explanations at all, and make arbitrary decisions, the person who becomes a secretary will be miserable!
It seems that although Lu Tao was born as a professor, he is also good, and he does not have the stubbornness and rigidity of academic officials!
In fact, Li Jiatao's classification of documents in this way also uses the 28 principle followed by many advanced enterprises in later generations, that is, doing 20% of things, but producing 80% of the effect!
The advantages of the 28 principle may not be reflected in a short period of time, but after a long time, its advantages will certainly be brought into play, this is certain.
"Jiatao." Lu Tao suddenly lowered his voice, "Xiaolei County is not simple, many people are huddled in a group and twisted into a rope. ”
Li Jiatao was happy in his heart, Lu Tao saw that the county magistrate Wang Zhiyuan had a deep foundation in Xiaolei County, and there were a large number of officials and cadres loyal to him, and he felt the crisis.
"Secretary." Li Jiatao didn't dare to laugh, especially when the leader asked serious questions, he must have a correct attitude at this time, "I remember that when you used to be in class, you taught us the barrel effect. ”
When Lu Tao heard this, his brows furrowed, revealing a thoughtful expression.
The "barrel theory" was proposed by the American management scientist Peter, also known as the bucket principle or short board theory. If the planks that make up the barrel are of uneven length, the amount of water in the barrel depends not on the longest plank, but on the shortest plank. This means that the parts that make up an organization are often uneven, and the weaknesses often determine the level of the organization as a whole.
This means that a common problem that any organization may face is that the parts that make up the organization are often uneven, and the inferior parts often determine the level of the entire organization.
If a team does not have a good sense of cooperation, it cannot do a good job of complementing and connecting with each other, and the final water storage cannot be improved. No matter how long a single plank is, it is useless, and such a combination of planks can only be described as a pile of planks, not a complete bucket, a team.
Therefore, if an enterprise wants to do a good job and become stronger, it must be in place from all aspects such as product design, price policy, channel construction, brand cultivation, technology development, financial monitoring, team cultivation, cultural concept, and strategic positioning. Any link that is too weak may lead to the enterprise being in a disadvantageous position in the competition, and eventually lead to the evil result of failure.
Lu Tao knew very well in his heart that Li Jiatao's proposal of the short board effect at this time was naturally targeted.
After pondering for a while, Lu Tao couldn't help laughing: "You mean to apply the shortboard effect backwards." ”
"The secretary is smart." Li Jiatao quietly sent a compliment, and said with a smile, "As long as you find and draw out that shortcoming, everything will be self-defeating." ”
"Hmm." Lu Tao was quite complacent and smiled knowingly, "The shortcomings will always be found, it's just a matter of time." ”
Li Jiatao was not as optimistic as Lu Tao, but was a little worried. The so-called "military plotting" means that not all contradictions and disputes are suitable for resolving by force, and force is not the best means to achieve the goal.
Especially in Xiaolei County, there are several bright or dark reefs, if you are not careful, you may be shipwrecked and killed, even if Lu Tao was born in the Lu family in the capital, he will not be able to escape the fate of returning to the capital at that time!
The drunkard didn't mean to drink, Li Jiatao came to Xiaolei County, but he didn't simply serve as Lu Tao's secretary, help him gain a firm foothold, and even defeated the county magistrate Wang Zhiyuan!
Of course, as Lu Tao gradually grasps the real power of the county party secretary, it will also be of great benefit to Li Jiatao's plan.
