Chapter 348: Core Issues
Lin Shanghua does not deny this, there are no surprises in this world, maybe the leader just collected a group of high-achieving students who like to be at the mercy of others, and then the work of that team progressed unexpectedly smoothly.
So, can such a team, which is completely and completely in the hands of the leader, go far? The answer is yes.
As mentioned above, maybe all the employees of this team are a bunch of fools who are not willing to change and have flexible brains, so they may not know what freedom is at all, and they don't need to feel free at all.
As a result, the team was led by a leader from above, and it kept moving forward. So, is such a team able to overcome the tribulation every time when it encounters difficulties? The answer is no.
This is the answer that Lin Shanghua finally came up with, and it is also the most important result he has come to as a leader of the company over the years. The true value of a team is not whether it can be sustained in the long term, nor whether they are excellent.
The most important thing is to see if this team can help the company survive the crisis when it encounters difficulties. The description of raising soldiers for a thousand days may not be entirely appropriate, but it is to the same effect. The company needs employees to carry on their work as usual, but it also needs to help the company solve this crisis in some crisis situations. Often, if a company wants to solve a crisis, it is important to have the right instructions from above, but this is not the whole story, it depends on how well the employees can execute it.
And what kind of place is the company? Is it a school? Is it a charitable organization? Is it a volunteer center? No, this place is a place to make money, that is, the most fundamental thing is the benefits that will arise between people. Therefore, the ability of employees to execute is related to their interests. It seems to be a terrible thing for the company to encounter a crisis, but if you think about it carefully, as long as your ability is enough, and then judge that you are not eliminated by the talent market, then the employee's execution ability will be greatly reduced.
The company gives him the same salary, and then because he is an old employee, let him put in more effort to help the company survive the crisis, without any benefits? So why did he do that? Those new hires can't be counted on, and they're not even as productive as they were when they were doing their own work.
Even if the company goes bankrupt and goes bankrupt, there is still a more high-paying company waiting for you, no matter how bad it is, it is a salary treatment, and the workload is just as easy. If this is the case, Lin Shanghua thought, that employee will definitely not accept the company's request, he will think that it is an unreasonable oppression, and then completely refuse, maybe he will eventually quarrel with his boss, and the new hatred and old hatred will be counted together.
However, as I said before, a company is a place where profits are generated, and such a place is bound to encounter several difficulties, large and small. No matter how good a team is, if the people's hearts will dissipate immediately when they encounter difficulties, then at that moment, the overly prominent ability of each team member will become a kind of demon that cannot make the team move forward.
Everyone's self-esteem is very high, they all feel that they have a market in the talent market, and the leader of this company has no personality charm at all, that is, a guy who only knows how to point fingers at them, and talks to people with his nose all day long, no matter how you look at it, there is no pleasing place, then, these employees will definitely not want to stay with the company to survive the crisis.
And this phenomenon is one of the most typical manifestations of a team's lack of integration ability. In the past, when Lin Shanghua was discussing this issue with his friends, he gave an analogy that Lin Shanghua found very interesting, that is, the so-called team integration ability, in fact, is the strength of a person's willingness to make sacrifices for the team.
That person didn't directly tell Lin Shanghua that a person's integration power is equal to his heartfelt value for the team, which made Lin Shanghua feel very chatty, and the concept he proposed also made Lin Shanghua feel very correct. A company is a company, not a cult, it is a place where everyone comes together to make money, the boss makes a lot of money, the employees make a little money, and a small number of capable employees make a lot of money.
Therefore, Lin Shanghua hates the kind of integration that once he mentions the integration force, he will immediately start complaining about how the young people nowadays have no passion, how they don't work, and they have no sense of responsibility at all. Lin Shanghua thinks it's ridiculous, even if it's a cow, if you don't give it fresh grass, people won't produce high-quality milk for you, but now the employees have become cows that must be milked without consumption in the hands of those unscrupulous bosses.
Unscrupulous companies will definitely exist, but they will definitely not exist for a long time, it may be proud for a while, but it will never exist for a long time. At least one thing Lin Shanghua is completely sure of, that is, it is impossible for the bosses of these unscrupulous companies to accumulate any experience in running companies, and these people are still virtuous in how many companies they found.
However, it is a pity that the young people of this era will only become more irresponsible, more disobedient, and more unwilling to pay their efforts in vain. It is more likely that young people who have just entered the society, because of their rich theoretical knowledge, will completely eliminate this kind of unscrupulous company after paying the price of tuition at the beginning.
Lin Shanghua feels that although the integration power includes employees' sense of belonging to the company, it definitely does not mean that employees should use their sense of belonging to the company when the company encounters a crisis, so that they can help the company to tide over difficulties. Lin Shanghua has always adhered to a point of view, that is, this method of using a sense of belonging to play the emotional card is essentially a kind of consumption from beginning to end.
Emotions are not endless, why do the employees of the company have feelings for the company? It is because of the result of working smoothly in the company for a long time, there may be some small unpleasantness, but in general, he is very comfortable in the company, so he will have a sense of belonging, and will be willing to work overtime for the company for free when the company wants to use their sense of belonging.
