Putting aside those ill-intentioned scarlet rumors, it is already recognized that Lu Qi is Tao Tang's absolute confidant. As the Dow style is more and more displayed in administrative affairs, many middle-level people are extremely envious of Lu Qi, and it is the hope of all middle-level people to be able to talk to the leader "fairly" and "casually", and no one wants to be whipped by the leaders, especially the main leaders, especially when the responsibility is not so easy to determine. In particular, not being able to express one's thoughts at work is even more painful.

Since August, the weekly business meeting has become a nightmare for the participating leaders, and Tao Tang's governance style of only asking about the results and not asking about the process has made the leaders miserable, and it has not been completed, right? Just admit that it's not done, what does it mean to tell me so much objectivity? The group does not tell me about objectivity, and the indicators issued must be completed to be the greatest objectivity. The masses of workers do not tell me to be objective, they have to receive wages when they get there, and they have to constantly increase their income...... You go to be objective with the employees, and see if the employees recognize it! The task of our people is to solve difficulties, and to emphasize objectivity is to be lazy and lazy, and to find an excuse for ourselves that we cannot complete our tasks!

As a general rule, subordinates' mistakes are made without the understanding of their superiors, except in a very few cases of dereliction of duty. When the superior can listen carefully to the difficulties and requirements of the subordinates, the mistakes of the subordinates are easily understood. For example, if the operation order is not completed in the current month, it may not be the responsibility of the production department, maybe the key equipment is faulty, or the materials are not in place in time, or there is a problem with the process...... Being punished for objective reasons is naturally not so convincing. Therefore, Tao Tang's desire to listen to his "voice" is even stronger......

But this wish is very legitimate, but it is not so easy to realize, Red Star Company has dozens of departments, each department has at least two middle-level, more than six or seven, plus deputy chief engineer, assistant and deputy general manager. There are more than 300 people, even if everyone communicates with the top leader once a month, and the top leader has to receive ten people every day, then he will not do other things. Therefore, there are always a few who can communicate face-to-face with the top leaders to discuss work, and even fewer can talk about life and others.

Lu Qi is one of the very few people who can talk to Tao Tang on an equal footing. Indeed, Tao Tang can listen to Lu Qi's work report at any time, including the difficulties encountered in his work. But Tao Tang rarely instructed Lu Qi in her work, and generally did not give her specific guidance. In fact, Lu Qi also has a hard time. Because her work hasn't been going well lately. Of course, Lu Qi did not encounter criticism in public (such as high-level meetings), and in the case of Tao Tang's obvious increase in the management evaluation of deputies and middle-level managers, almost all senior executives have been severely criticized, as if Lu Qi is the only one who does not enjoy this treatment, which also provides gossip material for those who are interested. But what many people don't know is that Lu Qi was still ridiculed by Tao Tang more than once for work mistakes in private. Maybe it's not the right word, but Lu Qi feels like it.

The chances of meeting "privately" are greatly increased. First, Lu Qi is already the director of the Issuance and Regulation Department. Second, the Department of Development and Planning is now under the direct leadership of Tao Tang. Therefore, it is normal for Tao Tang to ask Lu Qi to come to his office or Lu Qi to ask to see Tao Tang, even if someone has a heart, it is difficult to say anything.

The leader in charge is a hurdle between the middle-level leader and the company's leader. In general. Unless summoned by the big boss, it is not good for the middle-level principal to directly ask the big boss for instructions and report to the work, otherwise it may cause the unhappiness of the leader in charge. Maybe it's not good to have a direct attack, but I can't stand it if I wear a little shoe for you once in a while. Especially those vice presidents with a strong desire for power, such as Han Zhiyong and Li Luo. Of course, there are also some leaders who are more generous. doesn't care much about his subordinates fighting cattle across the mountains, such as Zhou Bing and Jiang Shangyun.

When Lu Qi was the deputy director of the hair regulation department, there were not many opportunities to meet the company's top leaders alone, unless he was summoned by the big boss, and he had to report in detail to his immediate boss and vice president in charge afterwards. Liu Xinjun and Luo Chong are both masters of the outer width and the inner taboo, and they are the most tolerant of small actions below. Some things feel that the top boss is purely nonsense, and if you want to give advice to the big boss, you must also weigh the consequences. Again, state-owned enterprises, especially large state-owned enterprises, are completely hierarchical small societies, and challenging order often comes at a great cost. Now, there is no barrier between Lu Qi and the first hand, and she can enter and exit Tao Tang's office at any time, but she finds that life is not so easy.

Her feeling was that Tao Tang was getting harder and harder to serve. He always breaks the past regulations to establish new rules, and the development and regulation department is precisely the department that "establishes rules", and the construction of rules and regulations that no one took seriously has become Lu Qi's most troublesome business.

At the end of July, shortly before Liu Xinjun's accident, Tao Tang issued an order to the Ministry of Development and Regulation to "abolish and reform" the rules and regulations, believing that the systems implemented by Red Star Company were too outdated, and many of them were no longer suitable for the current situation. Of course, this matter fell on Lu Qi's head, and the specific undertaking was the business management department. At the end of June, the Enterprise Management Department came up with a catalogue of "Abolition and Reform", and Lu Qi personally reviewed and organized a discussion within the Development and Regulation Department. In the absence of objections, Lu Qi found an opportunity to report to Tao Tang, Tao Tang only glanced at the comparison catalog submitted by Lu Qi and put it down, and asked Lu Qi a question: Where is the basis for you to come up with this list?

This question stopped Lu Qi. made her immediately realize that she might be underestimating the work. In the face of Tao Tang's questioning, Lu Qi had no choice but to truthfully report the process of the introduction of the list of "abolition and reform". Tao Tang then sneered, "If I say that the system revision you come up with must be a piece of waste paper, you must not be convinced." But it must have turned out like this. Do you admit it? ”

That was the first time Tao Tang laughed at Lu Qi's work. Lu Qi's white face immediately turned red, "Don't be sarcastic, what you did not do well, you point it out"

"There's a not-so-appropriate rumor called the commissioner's rule. It means that the major guidelines and policies of the state come from the directors of ministries and commissions, I don't know if you have heard of it...... Rules and regulations are the law of the enterprise, but you have entrusted the most important work to the comrades below. Is that so? Your role in this job is to review, right? Excuse me, how many issues did you review? ”

Lu Qi's face turned even redder. She really didn't review more questions, and the work was basically done by Xiao Shi and them, which was the usual practice. Obviously, Tao Tang was not satisfied with this way.

"The middle level, especially the middle level of the administrative leader, is my main assistant in my work, and I assume the role of connecting the upper and lower levels. The role of middle-level cadres is twofold, and the upper level is to correctly understand the company's requirements. The next step is organizational implementation. Now the problem lies in the second link, in fact, the problem in the first link is even greater, and I have found that many cadres do not understand my words. How to organize and implement it? The general practice is to set up, as a microphone, just like you. The task is assigned, the comrades below complete it according to your orders, you make textual revisions, or just check for typos, and then you hand in the paper. Do you think that's okay? ”

It's hard to hear, but it's basically true.

Tao Tang ignored Lu Qi's embarrassment. Go on, "What am I asking for?" First, you have to think carefully about why I want to carry out the 'abolition and reform' of the system, and what are the problems in our current system and implementation? Is the system not working or is the implementation poor? If the system is not good, then the system must be modified, and if the implementation is not effective, then the process must be modified or the assessment and punishment should be strengthened. That's the truth, right? You can't rely on the comrades below to do it behind closed doors, right? Just now you talked about the process of work, I didn't hear the content of your investigation and research at all, and it was completely done in the office. How does this work? So I'm sure you've worked so hard to come up with something that still doesn't work......"

Lu Qi admits that what Tao Tang said is right, but she is not convinced, because habit is like this.

"I accept your criticism. So. Ask the leaders, how to conduct investigation and research? ”

"I won't teach you this. If you can't do this, then you are grossly incompetent. Think it for yourself, as long as you realize what you realize, it is knowledge...... I think it's a lot of work. I don't ask you to complete the revision of the entire system and process in a short period of time, such as a month or two, which is actually a long-term task. Every year. You can put the most important system in place first......"

Lu Qi wanted to ask what the "most important systems" were, but when she saw Tao Tang's tense face, she flinched. I don't know when she and him have become more and more of a working relationship......

Lu Qi has not yet found a way to solve the problem, she was promoted and became the first female director in the history of the Development and Regulation Department. Obviously, Tao Tang trusted her, and did not have any opinion of her because of Lu Qi's mistakes in system revision. However, the problem of system revision has not been solved, and it has become more severe, there were Liu Xinjun and Luo Chong in front of the front, and now there is no breakwater. The point is that it's hard to find a recruiter for this puzzle. The most reliable is still her husband, although Comrade Lao Fan is seriously unreliable many times. But this time, Lao Fan gave Lu Qi a brilliant idea.

"It's actually easy to determine what's most important. Didn't you get to most of the meetings he attended? There are some meetings that you don't qualify for, and you have a way to find out what they're about, right? ”

"That's right. You just say, don't go around in circles......" Lu Qi seemed to catch something.

"Which department Mr. Tao criticizes the most and which kind of things criticize the most, that is the most important work, and your system revision starts from there......"

Tricks! Lu Qi was a little impressed by her husband. This guy might be able to make a difference in the Political Research Office.

Sure enough, Lu Qi's road went smoothly. Half a month later, Lu Qi once again took out a list of system revisions and reported them to Tao Tang, involving 12 items in personnel training, evaluation of skill leaders, procurement of equipment and materials, disposal of waste materials, use of entertainment expenses, and travel expense standards. The next day, Li Zhibin returned the request, which had Tao Tang's powerful instructions: agree. It is expected to be close to reality and easy to implement.

It's passed! For this reason, Lu Qi "invited" Lao Fan out for a meal and praised Lao Fan for seeing the problem accurately. Comrade Lao Fan was triumphant, "You, you are in Lushan, and the authorities are fascinated." Mr. Tao is ambitious to transform Red Star in all aspects, and this is just the beginning......"

This time, Lu Qi didn't dare to do it behind closed doors, and after determining the list, he led Xiao Shi and others to visit each unit to solicit opinions, which took a lot of effort. This side has not yet been completed, and a new task has been issued.

This time, it was Tao Tang who called Lu Qi to his office to arrange it personally.

"The general feeling is that it is not very smooth," Tao Tang said slowly, "There is a bad tendency, everyone may be afraid of me, lest they make mistakes, and they will ask me for criticism of everything, which is simply annoying." What to do? To standardize decision-making bodies and decision-making matters, isn't there a 'three-fold and one-big' in the compilation of systems? Start from here, pull out a new list of 'three major and one big', and re-determine what things to be decided at the meeting. I am the chairman and general manager, belonging to the board of directors or the general manager's office meeting, I will preside over and make decisions, and those who belong to the party committee will be presided over by Secretary Zhao. Except for these big things, the rest, let it go, I don't care. This, too, meets the requirements of the superiors, doesn't it? This matter must be fast, and the list of powers must be taken out as soon as possible! ”

Three-fold and one-big is a specific term that refers to the appointment and dismissal of important personnel, the construction of major projects, major decision-making matters and the use of large amounts of funds in state-owned enterprises. The main purpose is to standardize the decision-making procedures of state-owned enterprises and avoid the main leaders from saying anything. The essence of "three major and one large" is to control and restrain the power of the number one.

Lu Qi reacted quickly this time, "Mr. Tao, the company's existing three-fold and one-big system is basically formulated with reference to the group system, do you mean to re-engage in it according to our actual situation?" ”

"Yes. I've seen that system, and I'm just copying it. That's why I'm not interested in your previous system building. That's right, we have to do it again according to the actual situation, first of all, we can't make decisions at the meeting, so we can't actually implement it, we have a meeting, don't do anything. 'Do what you write', if the above is strictly investigated, violations of the system abound, and in the current political atmosphere, the problem can be big or small, and it cannot be taken lightly. Second, we can't hand over the decisions that should be made to the main leaders, and those who should be at the meeting must be ......."

This one is more difficult. Lu Qi immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, "Is it okay for me to say something as a friend?" ”

"Of course"

"Do you really want to strictly implement the 'three-fold and one-big' system?"

"What do you mean? Am I kidding? ”

"This is the power to limit the number one! If it is really implemented, some things may not be decided by you, what if you can't pass it? Also, how do policymakers vote? Is it a vote? If it's a vote, you're just the host or convener, you only have one vote! ”

"Haha. Do you think it's good to be in power? If Song Yue executes three major and one big, I may not be able to come to Red Star...... You see this as a restriction on me, but I see it as an umbrella. In addition, brainstorming is by no means an empty phrase, and I must believe that the collective wisdom of the decision-makers is definitely better than that of me alone. Lu Qi, let me tell you about my short-term goals......"

"You say," Lu Qi would like to hear about Tao Tang's so-called short-term goals.

"Changing the current situation, making the middle management really accountable, and letting the leadership find their place, freed up more energy to think about the next step of the company...... So, this task you have received is of great significance for the last two items I mentioned."

"Let's not talk about the last two, the middle cadres are tired and are about to be driven crazy by you, especially the first-line branches, marketing department, and finance department......" Lu Qi seized the opportunity to say what she had always wanted to say. Recently, there have been many complaints from the middle level, fines are still secondary, and no one can stand being blamed in public and criticized in the newspaper, they are all people who want to save face.

"The market and profits are inherently forced. Can't stand it now? Far from it! Now I'm more tired than they are, and it shouldn't be like that, I'm more relaxed than them...... But not yet."

Lu Qi was silent. The middle-level cadres have already come under tremendous pressure from the top, and the change has been significant, but now there are some people who are in danger...... But the operating data makes Lu Qi excited, the third quarter is coming to an end, it can be concluded that the main business income will exceed 7 billion, and the goal of completing 10 billion is no longer a myth, all of which is achieved by Tao Tang in less than half a year, and no one dared to explore this goal in April.

"Revenue is the cornerstone. What kind of profit can you talk about without income? Do you think we are a monopoly industry? So press it down! If you can't adapt to it, you will be eliminated, and I will never show mercy. The assessment in the fourth quarter should be stricter, especially the performance of the middle level, if you want the data to speak, you have to be responsible for me! Tao Tang said viciously. (To be continued.) )
