Chapter 820: Management is an art
Here, I want to say 'I'm sorry' to Brigade Commander Gao in front of the soldiers of the whole brigade. I do. That's just the right thing, not the right person. It's not that I want to get along with Brigadier Gao. I just want to ring the alarm bell of our cadres through the inspection of Brigade Commander Gao.
You have also seen it now, although this time Brigade Commander Gao is to give me face, he will say that I can enter this special forces unit without getting an access card. But I still didn't receive the love of the high brigade commander. Still, let him do a check-up.
Now you should check this matter from Brigadier Gao, and think about what I will do with you if any of you make a mistake. You've figured it out. If these soldiers and cadres below you make mistakes, then I will not just let you do the inspection. That awaits you may be a harsher punishment than that of Brigadier Gao.
Now I'll ask Brigadier Gao to do an inspection for everyone. I just want everyone to understand my intentions. Think about it, although Brigade Commander Gao is a relatively senior cadre, I still don't give him face. Then there are these cadres sitting below you. But think about it. If you make the same mistake again, it's not just an easy thing to check in front of the whole brigade.
Well, about Brigadier Gao. That's all I have to say. Now, I would like to talk about some management matters that our cadres should know about the Dao.
Although I am only a cadre who has been promoted, I have never entered a higher military academy. But I usually like to read. I also read a lot of military management works. For cadres, they should know some common sense of management.
Next, I will talk about the management of this cadre. I'll go into a bit longer.
For each and every one of our cadres. It doesn't matter if it's a small platoon commander or a commander. In front of the word 'management', it's all the same. No matter how high your position is, you have to figure out what these two words mean.
So what exactly is management? I don't think you have thought about this question seriously. You may think that this is a problem, and there is no need to discuss it at all. It's so easy to manage. Isn't it just the discipline of cadres for their subordinates?
If so, understand. That's a little too simple. I've read some management books, and there is a sentence on them that I remember deeply. That's what it says. 'Management is an art'.
This is an art of management, and I think it's not just me, but all of you here are probably hearing of it for the first time.
You may think that this management has nothing to do with art. Isn't this something that is out of the ordinary!
That's true. It is difficult for us ordinary people to understand what this management has in common with art. Are these two different realms at all?
Therefore, if we want to understand the relationship between management and art, we must first understand what art is.
I'm going to ask you what art is. Then you may find this question difficult to answer. Because it's a question that no one else thinks about seriously. Don't talk about those of us who are behind us. Even those stars and artists who are professionally engaged in art. You may never understand what this art is for the rest of your life.
I'm not an artist, and I'm not a big star. I'm just a military man. A senior executive of the military. I'm going to figure out what this art is. People will think that I am a little arrogant. Think, you, Zhu Xiangjun, are just a soldier. Questions that other artists can't understand, you say you can answer. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?
If you think so, that's fine. I don't want to say I'm arrogant. But I just want to answer what art is.
In fact, the so-called art. That is, our perception and sublimation of life. There is a saying that art comes from life, but it is higher than life. That is to say, art comes from life. But it's a little more 'smart' than life.
We have to master an art, whether it's music or art. Or writing. That must have a deep life accumulation. That is, to have rich life experience. Imagine if a person is born. There is no social contact. Just living in the deep mountains and old forests. So how could he be an artist! Then he will just become a 'wild man'.
This art is also the observation and reflection of life. It is a refinement and summary of life. It is the accumulation of all the good and bad things that we feel from life. And then take these things as materials, and then weave them. This thing, that's art.
Okay, let's not go too far. Let's talk about management.
Some people say that management is also an art. This makes us all a little unbelievable. How can management be an art? I haven't heard of it! That cadre became an artist all of a sudden!
If that's how we understand the art of stewardship. That's kind of ridiculous. When we say that management is an art, we need to see the similarities between management and art. That is, the similarities between these two things.
If management is an art. Then I think that this art should be literature. And not any other art.
Why do you say that? This is because every one of our cadres. That's the equivalent of a writer. When every writer wants to write a work, the first thing he thinks about is the name of the main character in the work. And then what are the names of some of the supporting characters.
Other words. Before a writer writes, he or she has to think carefully about the images and names of these characters in his pen. In other words, a writer is now a manager. He has to manage the characters in his work once.
This is the same as the management of these soldiers under our own command.
The management cadres of that company. That's mainly the company commander and instructor. The company commander and instructor have to manage the soldiers of the company. How do you manage this? Is it just to do a good job of training and education in accordance with the regulations of the troops?
I guess that's not enough. The cadres of each of our companies don't just need to remember the names of the soldiers under them. It is more important to understand their temper and character. Know the trends of their thoughts.
In the pen of the writer. Each character has to have a personality. We often say that a certain work is well written, and the characters in it are very realistic. This means that the characters in it are very vivid. In other words, the personalities in it are very distinct.
Every cadre of our company also wants to know what kind of character and hobbies these soldiers under him have. That's how well they can be managed. If a cadre doesn't know anything about his subordinates, then how can you be a good cadre!
Speaking of which, I think we should all understand why we can say that this is an art of management. That is to learn to grasp the pulse of the minds of the warriors. Let the soldiers feel the warmth of our army family. Let them know the Tao, our company cadres. That's a genuine love for them.
We say management is an art. That is, to make us take our fighters seriously. Rather than just criticizing education. You also have to learn to talk to the fighters. Let them know all the rules of our company. It's all for the sake of the healthy growth of the soldiers.
We need to elevate management to the level of art. That is, we need the vast number of cadres to attach importance to this management work. It's not just going to be simple and crude. That's not a quality that a manager should have.
This management management, that is, must be managed. You only have to take care of it. The warriors will be convinced. If you don't take care of it, then how can the soldiers willingly obey your arrangement!
How to manage reason, that is, to convince people with reason. Instead of using power to oppress people. Don't feel like you're a cadre, then you can teach the fighters as much as you want. No matter what the fighters did wrong, it was a scolding at the beginning. That's not what a good cadre does.
I hope that starting today, our leading cadres will have a new understanding of the word management. Speaking of which, I would like to leave a little homework for the vast number of cadres of our organs. That is, after the meeting adjourned later. You have to write a lesson about management as an art. I want the comrades of the cadre unit to collect all your experiences. I'm going to see how much you know about what I've just said.
Okay, that's all I have to say. Let Brigadier Gao say a few more words! ”
"Bang bang! Smack! Smack! After Zhu Xiangjun finished speaking. There was a thunderous round of applause. After all, it was the commander who spoke. No matter what, you have to respond with warm applause. Zhu Xiangjun saw that everyone was very enthusiastic, so he hurriedly waved his hand. Everyone stopped clapping.
Zhu Xiangjun has already said a lot. He didn't want to say anything more. Although he still has a lot to say. But I still want to leave some time for Brigade Commander Gao, after all, he is the commander of a brigade, so I have to let someone say a few words!
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Brigadier Gao, you can also say a few words! Zhu Xiangjun said as he signaled Brigade Commander Gao to say a few words as well.
"Ahem, ahem! I'll say two words too! "Brigade Commander Gao has a problem, that is, he has to cough twice before speaking, probably to clear his throat.
"Just now, the commander has already talked a lot. It's very good. It was as if I had gone to military school again. This management is art. This is the first time I've heard of it. It's so level-up. It's all at the level of philosophy! The commander deserves to be the commander. That is more than us grassroots cadres know the truth! ”
After all, Brigade Commander Gao is a sycophant person. He had just seen the commander of the army though he had him do an examination. But I also praised him. Then when he speaks now, of course, he will also pat the commander's 'sycophant'.
"I've already checked it out for everyone. This is the five years I've been a brigade commander. For the first time, he was inspected in front of the cadres and fighters of the whole brigade. Although I felt a little embarrassed at the moment. But come to think of it, I do. That's for the sake of a good style of work for our entire special forces forces. Even if it's 'sacrificing' me, that's what it should be.
Just now. I've done the checks. Then we will now talk about the vast number of cadres of your organs. You need to be careful. If the commander and I catch you making mistakes, it's not just a check. I will give you a punishment, and it will be light.
Our political commissar Liu is not in our troops now. He's in a meeting at the headquarters right now. The main content of this meeting was the issue of the work style of our troops.
Our special forces are the elite of the troops. This is if the whole army begins a major rectification of work style and discipline. Then our special forces should bear the brunt of it.
Now the commander has sounded the alarm for us. That's for us to start now. You have to pay attention to your own style and discipline. If you recidivize. That's not a check-up. Give you a sanction, that's inevitable.
Starting tomorrow, our troops will carry out a major inspection of work style and discipline. I hope you are prepared. I'm going to give you a heads-up call now. If someone has a problem in tomorrow's style discipline check. Then who is going to be out of luck.
After everyone goes down, they must properly comprehend the spirit of the commander's speech just now. It is necessary to understand the content of the commander's speech. Be careful. Don't make any more mistakes.
That's it, that's all I have to say. Let's see what else the commander has to say. ”
Brigade Commander Gao, that was just repeating the words of the army commander. This is to ask everyone to conscientiously comprehend the spirit of the commander's speech. So that you don't make mistakes again.
"I don't have much more to say. It's time to dismiss! Zhu Xiangjun saw that the meeting had been open for two or three hours. It's time for lunch again. This dismisses the meeting.
"Good. This is the dismissal! Brigade Commander Gao stood up at this moment. Then it was reported to the commander again. "Comrade Commander! After the brigade work style and discipline mobilization meeting was held, please give instructions. The brigade commander was promoted. Brigade Commander Gao reported loudly to Zhu Xiangjun. On the other hand, he gave Zhu Xiangjun a non-standard military salute.
"Adjournment!" Zhu Xiangjun gave Brigade Commander Gao a very standard military salute.
"Hey! Old Gao! You need to practice this military salute well. It's not standard at all! You are the commander of a brigade, and this style of discipline also includes this military salute. If you are like this, how can you become the standard of a cadre! ”
Zhu Xiangjun saw that he gave Brigade Commander Gao a standard military salute. However, Brigade Commander Gao gave himself a non-standard military salute, which made him a little unhappy. So in the process of everyone adjourning the meeting. But he criticized Gao Sheng two more sentences.
"I'm sorry! Commander, starting tomorrow, I will practice this standard military salute. Fight in a week. can reach the level of a military commander. The high brigade commander looked at the commander and said that his military salute was not up to standard. This quickly said that it would take a week to learn and train this military salute.
"Hmmm! Okay, though. I don't think it's just you, the brigade commander, but also the cadres of other organs, the military salute must not be very good. You have to train hard when you go down! Zhu Xiangjun felt that this style and discipline were problematic. That is first reflected in this small military salute action. Imagine a unit that doesn't take military salutes seriously. Then how can there be a good style of discipline!
"Okay, then I'll go back first. Starting tomorrow morning, you will personally gather the cadres of the agency and let them train and salute on the playground. A week later. I'm going to check how you cadres are saluting. If it's not qualified, forget it. If you don't qualify, then you have to continue training. ”
As Zhu Xiangjun walked out of the venue, he gave an order to Brigade Commander Gao.
"Yes! I will definitely listen to the military commander, and tomorrow morning I will start training the cadres of the organs to salute the army. "Brigade Commander Gao, that's a quick promise. As he spoke, he sent the commander to the door of the auditorium.
"Hmmm! Good. That's it. Ay! Brigade Commander Gao, you and the Chief of Staff don't forget to eat at the Second Company's soldiers' canteen at noon! This week's warrior life, you have to experience it first! ”
Zhu Xiangjun now thinks that since it is necessary to rectify the work style and discipline of this cadre. Then you have to start with this meal. It is to let the brigade commander and the chief of staff feel what the living standards of the soldiers are like.
"Yes! I understand. I'll go to the second company for dinner with the chief of staff! "Brigade Commander Gao listened to the words of the army commander. He was a little unhappy in his heart. But on the surface, it still pretended to be 'elated'.
"Hmmm! Okay, I'll go back to the office first! Do it yourself! Zhu Xiangjun said as he walked towards his office.
Now I'm saying that the high brigade commander is a bit big-headed. I thought, I want to eat the warrior canteen for this week. What does that taste like! And let the chief of staff accompany him. That's a real disappointment!
"Hey! Old Gao! What are you thinking? "Brigade Commander Gao is thinking about eating the soldier's canteen. And the chief of staff came to his side.
"Chief of Staff! It's you! Hey, you see, it's noon again. We're going to eat again! Brigade Commander Gao looked at the Chief of Staff and sighed.
"Ha Lu Ha! What is there to sigh when eating. It's not for you to train for military salutes. What are you sighing for! Elder Xu of the Staff saw that Brigade Commander Gao was sighing, and he was puzzled.
"Chief of Staff. Eating is a good thing. But it depends on where you eat it. If it's in the cadre cafeteria. Of course it's good. But I had to go to the soldiers' canteen of the second company. How can that be a good thing? The food there is really hard to swallow! Lao Gao thought of the cabbage and radish he ate in Erlian yesterday, which made him feel a little sick to his stomach.
"Ha Lu Ha! I thought something was going on! Isn't it just going to the canteen of the second company to eat! What's going on here. We're just going! "Elder Xu can think about it. He didn't care about Zhu Xiangjun's words at all. Let me go to the company canteen to the company canteen. What is there to be afraid of!
"Brigade commander, let's go to the soldier's canteen to eat, what a shameless thing! This made the soldiers look at it, and then they knew that it was the commander who was 'cleaning up' us! It's not for the soldiers to laugh at the two of us! (To be continued......)
