Chapter 102 The Science of Management

To be serious, the so-called "root-based" management system proposed by Tao Donglai has not completely departed from the shadow of the village committee in later generations, but he has made a lot of localized modifications to the original organizational structure of the village committee according to the specific situation of this era. And these functional settings are exactly what the previous Commune Management Committee lacked in details.

As Tao Donglai said earlier, in order to solve the contradictions between the people, the most important thing is to establish a perfect and effective mechanism, so that all kinds of public sentiments can find appropriate communication channels. The "root-based" management system can achieve this purpose by refining and deepening its functions. These "roots" that penetrate deep into the masses involve all aspects of social life can be resolved in a targeted manner to the greatest extent possible at the stage when contradictions are beginning to appear.

Of course, there are two sides to everything, and the method proposed by Tao Donglai seems to be very pertinent to solve the current problem, but at the same time, it also has its inevitable drawbacks. Ning Qi has a concern about this: "This kind of functional refinement, even at the level of the commune, can rely on the members to set up semi-independent organizations to operate, but we still have to set up a higher level of management units to manage these refined grassroots organizations." ”

Tao Donglai responded: "I'm afraid that for the time being, the current competent departments can only take responsibility, and after we have completed several large infrastructure projects, we can put more manpower into management positions." One thing I want you to remember is that here, in the areas we control, our role is that of a senior manager, a person who sets the rules of the game, not a nanny who does everything herself. ”

"Before the crossing, our government had been talking about streamlining administration and delegating powers, and I think we can borrow that concept now to simplify what we do as managers and gradually decentralize some of the less important powers. We only have more than 400 companions, and in the future we will need to manage millions of square kilometers, millions or even tens of millions of people, and it is only a matter of time before we decentralize. Rather than starting to change our approach when we can't do it, we should start building an effective management mechanism now, and at least we will have plenty of time to slowly identify loopholes, adjust them, and improve them. ”

After Tao Dong finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. Everyone chose to come to this world through the wormhole, of course, they all wanted to be high-level managers, but how to really be a senior manager, few people in the entire crossing group understood the truth. The vast majority of the people are relatively professional and technical talents, and only a few have been in senior managers or bureaucratic systems, even in the relatively capable executive committee, Ning Qi, Gu Kai, Meng He and others are novices with no administrative management experience.

After such a group of people step into management positions, they are more thinking about how to do their work perfectly, but they do not have a clear understanding of the scientific management system. It wasn't until Tao Donglai said these words at this time that everyone seemed to notice the misunderstandings in their previous work.

In terms of management experience, Tao Donglai is undoubtedly the leader among the crossing, and his company before the crossing has more than 200 regular employees, which of course does not include the construction team on the real estate developed under the name of his company. If you include those who work for him directly or indirectly, then there are at least about three or four thousand people. The current executive committee is actually a senior board of directors from a certain point of view, but the identity of the directors does not come from the number of shares, but from the election of minority shareholders. And Tao Donglai, who is still playing the role of leader in this team, also pointed out the right path to his companions who were lost.

"It is unlikely that all the indigenous cadres of the future will be trained through the guò education system, and most of them will have to start from the grassroots level and work their way up step by step on their own ability. In addition to assisting our administrative organs in performing their management functions, this grassroots organizational structure system can also gradually select a group of indigenous cadres. Tao Donglai was silent for a moment, and then continued to expound his views: "Whether it is the construction of the grassroots management system or the training and selection of indigenous cadres, what we should do now is to formulate rules and then institutionalize them, so that we can save our energy and time and use them in other more important places." ”

"Lao Tao, what you said today is really deafening!" Yan Chujie exclaimed after listening to it: "I used to want to implement militarized management in the control area, but after listening to what you said today, I feel that my previous ideas are still very unrealistic. ”

"There is nothing wrong with militarized management in itself, and when our rule over the control area is not stable enough, it is still necessary to have a certain amount of militarized management. Tao Donglai first affirmed Yan Chujie's point of view, but then changed the conversation and said: "But we must also consider how to make it and civil administration smoothly linked, we can train the militia to a limited extent, but the common people are not soldiers after all, and we can't generalize about the requirements of the soldiers." Moderate militarized management can strengthen internal cohesion, but if the scale is not mastered well, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the people. ”

"I think most of us here still need to make up for it. Ning Qi said with a wry smile. He had reservations about many of Tao Donglai's proposals, and his biggest concern was that he had limited manpower and would face a lack of human resources if he was working on too many projects at the same time. But after listening to Tao Donglai's words today, Ning Qi also felt that his views seemed to be about to change in a timely manner, after all, now that they have begun to introduce immigrants in batches, the labor gap is not as big as before, and with the gradual liberation of the traversal from the labor force, how to make adjustment arrangements for the existing human resources has also become a new topic in front of Ning Qi.

Tao Dong came to see that everyone had understood what he meant, so he mentioned another suggestion: "If you are interested, you can read some books on management in the big database in your spare time." The information in this category is the book list I wrote, and then the electronic documents collected by Menghe are all some practical introductions and examples of management, which I believe should be able to help you improve efficiency in practical work. ”

"Regarding the detailed arrangements for the refinement of the grassroots organizations of the commune, each department will come down and discuss it internally, but it is better to come up with the implementation rules quickly, time waits for no one!" Tao Donglai tapped lightly on the table: "Let's move on to the next topic." ”

"On behalf of the Ministry of Industry, I would like to reflect a situation. Bai Kesi raised a hand to signal that he had something to say: "The current production situation here in the metallurgical workshop is a bit of a problem. ”

"Oh, what is the problem? raw material supply or processing technology?" Tao Donglai asked casually.

"Raw materials. The current situation has made it difficult to maintain continuous production in the metallurgical workshop. "In fact, since yesterday we have had to adjust our production plan and reduce our pig iron production by 15 percent. ”

Ning Qi was stunned and said: "Isn't the mining of iron ore quite smooth? Last night, when I was eating, I also heard that the metallurgical workshop was going to build a steam gas hammer to build a railroad track and build a simple track for the mine. ”

"There is a plan to build a track, but there may not be enough iron to build a track, so it is estimated that the track with iron and wood will be used for the time being. Bai Kesi raised his voice: "I must remind you that although the Tiandu iron ore has been mined, our pig iron reserves are not as large as you think. So far, we only have a dozen tons of pig iron in our warehouse, and all of them have been clearly used. If Chef Fan, who is now in the cooking class, needs to make a kitchen knife, he will probably have to wait until two weeks to get his hands on it. ”

"Could it be that there is not enough manpower to open the mine? If necessary, we can send half of the people from Yazhou to work in the mine first. The two industries that we need to ensure the most now are grain and iron ore, and we must not stop the metallurgical workshop in any case. Tao Donglai said categorically.

"It's not a problem of manpower. Bai Kesi shook his head and said, "It's a fuel problem." The production of charcoal cannot keep up with consumption, and the import of coal and coke is simply too small to be used for large-scale smelting. ”

Seeing that almost half of the people present still looked uncertain, Bai Kesi had to give a brief explanation of the current pig iron production situation.

At present, the iron ore smelting in the metallurgical workshop still relies on charcoal as the main fuel, although charcoal is easy to extract, and there are endless trees cut down in the mountains and fields in the whole Sanya area, but it is a time-consuming and laborious work to produce. The ironmaking operation of the metallurgical workshop consumes a very large amount of charcoal, and for every ton of pig iron smelted, only two to three tons of iron ore are consumed on average, but the charcoal that needs to be consumed is more than seven tons. Because the production of charcoal could not keep up, the metallurgical workshop's original plan to build a No. 2 iron-making furnace has been delayed.

Although the commerce department has been working hard to scavenge coal and coke from Yazhou to bring it to the base camp, Yazhou itself does not produce coal, and the little coal that can be scavenged in the market is a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough to ensure production. The Executive Committee is now building guns, cannons, and steam engines, and the demand for pig iron has skyrocketed, which has caused the current situation in which pig iron production is in short supply.
