673 Topics of Interest

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Compared with those enterprises located in the provincial development zone, Changda Group is a little far away from the provincial capital, this is a fact, there is nothing that cannot be mentioned, Guan Yuntian did not blame the other party at all, just regarded this as a topic of small talk on the way to the car.

Chen Xueliang thought that the chairman had a prejudice against him because of this, and hurriedly explained.

"How can you say that you are naΓ―ve? You live in a provincial capital, and a unit nearly 200 kilometers away recruits you, and it is human nature that anyone else will have the same idea. "Guan Yuntian said.

"But it's very convenient to go back to the provincial capital here, and there is a shuttle bus in the unit, so I thought the situation was too bad at the time. Chen Xueliang said.

"The problem is that from Monday to Thursday, we really can't go home every day, at least we can't help the family with household chores, which has caused distress for some families, and we are disturbed by this. ”

"It's not that bad in comparison. As far as I know, those who work in the provincial development zone, if the unit does not have a shuttle bus to pick them up, they go to work at 8 o'clock, they have to leave home at 6 o'clock in the morning, get off work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and arrive home every day more than 7 o'clock in the evening. Even if there is a shuttle bus in the unit, it must leave before half past six in the morning, and it is close to seven o'clock when you get home in the evening. In short, they get up early and stay up late every day, spending three or four hours on the road, spending more than twelve hours a day from leaving home in the morning to returning home in the evening, and those people are unlikely to have time to help the family with household chores. ”

Guan Yuntian nodded in agreement, "That's also true, in fact, those people are more tired, although the employees of Changda Group who live in the provincial capital can't go home from Monday to Thursday, they go back to the apartment to rest after getting off work on time every day, but it seems more relaxed." ”

"Yes, after work from Monday to Thursday, my free time is more concentrated, and if I can use this time effectively, I can do something. ”

"Yes, you have a lot of spare time these days, what do you usually do after work? watch TV, drink, play chess and mahjong, or do something else?" Guan Yuntian just asked casually, because he generally didn't care about other people's private lives.

"I haven't been here for too long, I don't have many friends, and after work I go to the apartment to watch TV and surf the Internet, and sometimes I read a book. ”

"Well, that's good habit. What kind of books do you usually read?"

"My major is general machining, I generally read professional books, and now I am engaged in management work, and I also read some management books. ”

"What books have you read?" seemed to find a common topic, and Guan Yuntian was very interested in it.

Chen Xueliang reported the titles of a few books, "I just looked at them casually, and I didn't study them in detail." ”

"Very good, this is a few introductory books on business management, if you are interested, I will recommend you a few more in-depth books, such as "Personality and Organization", "Management Decision and Science", "The Great Organizer", "Jack Welch Biography", "Organizational Effectiveness and Evaluation Criteria", "Turning Crisis into Safety" and "The Pursuit of Excellence" and so on. I have these books in my office, you can take them and read them. ”

The chairman personally recommended the book, which made Chen Xueliang a little flattered, "Ouch, it may have been written by a management master, right? I'm afraid it's too profound to understand!"

"In my spare time, I flipped through it casually, and I even had a pastime, and I knew as much as I could, and I didn't take exams, so I didn't have any goals. this

I've read most of them, because most of them are summaries of the experiences of the masters, and then rise to the level of theory, and those seemingly esoteric theories or principles, combined with the examples in the book, are not very difficult to understand. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Okay, I'll borrow two books to read when I have time, open my eyes, and learn management experience from the masters. ”

"In the science of business management, it is important to learn from books, but don't forget to learn from practice and learn from experienced people around you. In our Changda Group, you are more familiar with Mr. Ye is a management expert, but he is an authentic Duke University MBA graduate, especially in manufacturing management, she has a deep theoretical foundation and very rich practical experience. Guan Yuntian said with sincere appreciation.

"Yes, I have seen Mr. Ye's demeanor in the training class, and I will definitely ask her more in the future. ”

Audi A8 on the highway in the direction of the provincial capital, Guan Yuntian and Chen Xueliang seem to have more and more topics, but under the leadership of Guan Yuntian, the topic has always revolved around the theme of enterprise management, from Chen Xueliang laid off in state-owned enterprises, to his experience in management in many industries, and has been talking about the difference between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in management.

"It is said that the difference between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises is different in the sense of responsibility, I think it should not be generalized, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, the key is the quality of the operator. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Yes, the quality of the operator, determines the overall quality of the enterprise management team, under the leadership of a high-quality team, whether state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, the business performance will not be too bad. Even if it is a state-owned enterprise, the government department entrusts you with a large amount of assets, which is the trust in you, and gives the corresponding treatment, you should be duty-bound to do your best to lead the team and do a good job in the enterprise. Seeing that the chairman was approachable, Chen Xueliang gradually let go of his speech.

Guan Yuntian was of course interested in this kind of topic, "Hmph, your statement is very innovative. That's right, no matter what kind of ownership of the enterprise, since the entrusting party hands over the right to operate a large amount of assets to you, it shows that people have a high degree of trust in you, and the operator should have no distractions, take the operation and management as his own business, and do not have any distractions, which is the minimum professionalism of the enterprise operator. ”

"Mr. Guan, I don't know much about private enterprises, in the past, in state-owned enterprises, the operators there were appointed by government departments, some factory directors or managers came to the enterprise just to be officials, did not take the operation and management to heart, that is not professionalism enough; there are also some factory directors and managers who really want to do a good job in the enterprise, but the management ability is not enough, the heart is not enough, the result is still a mess of the enterprise, it is really embarrassing. ”

"In the final analysis, it is a question of both ability and political integrity of the operator. No matter what the nature of the enterprise, if the operator does not take the enterprise management to heart, or only does superficial articles, everything is just to do for others to see, even if the head of the enterprise management level is high, the final result will not be too good, which belongs to talent but no virtue. On the contrary, you say that the kind of factory manager who has a weak heart belongs to being virtuous and talentless. As the party that selects and employs people, if the enterprise is equipped with business managers, these two kinds of people are not advisable. "Guan Yuntian said.

"In reality, there are indeed some enterprise managers, not only run the enterprise very well, but also won the love of the employees, there are such leaders in state-owned enterprises, after they are transferred, many employees of the original unit still miss them from time to time. "Chen Xueliang's previous unit, there was a leader who left a good impression on the employees

。

In addition to these two factors, as an excellent business manager, you must also have a good personality charm and noble sentiments. Just imagine, even if you have both ability and political integrity, and you have nothing to say about your work ability and professionalism, but you are arbitrary and arbitrary, refuse to let people go thousands of miles away, or are cold to your subordinates and workers, and turn a blind eye to the sufferings and concerns of your employees, how can such a leader be respected and understood by the employees? ”

In Chen Xueliang's view, these are the basic principles of life, but Guan Yuntian obviously has a special purpose in saying this on such an occasion.

Although Chen Xueliang himself does not know, he and Xiang Fei have been identified as key candidates for the successor of Changda Group, and Guan Yuntian just instilled some ideas and clarified some points of view in him by taking advantage of the opportunity of small talk, because these are the characteristics that an excellent manager should have.

"Mr. Guan, the phenomena you talked about generally occur in state-owned enterprises, and they should be rare in the management and operation of private enterprises, right?"

As I just said, the above phenomena have little to do with the nature of the enterprise, and the key lies in the comprehensive quality of the business managers. Over the years, I have heard and seen many private business owners, and even if the performance of a few companies is good, I think it is entirely due to some kind of chance, or opportunity, because with their ability and integrity, coupled with that despicable character, their business will not be able to develop at all. ”

"However, although Changda Group is a private enterprise, I think the enterprise structure and management norms are among the best among all enterprises. Chen Xueliang sincerely appreciated.

"I don't know if it's a leader, but we have tried to standardize since the beginning of the company's establishment, in addition, although the high-end manufacturing business is unique to Changda Group, but the group company through business packaging, two external restructuring, two backdoor listing, the company has undergone two strict audits, so, you see today Changda Group, all aspects are very standardized. It is no exaggeration to say that whether state-owned or private, there are not many domestic enterprises that can reach the level of Changda Group. Guan Yuntian said proudly.

Chen Xueliang deeply understands that the local state-owned enterprises he worked in before are not only incomparable in scale with Changda Group, but also far from the decision-making and operation management of enterprises.

As the director of the branch factory at that time, and also belonged to the middle and senior managers of the enterprise, Chen Xueliang clearly remembered that the two or three hundred million yuan obtained by the enterprise through land replacement was moved by the main person in charge of the enterprise at that time to hoard steel without collective discussion, which is said to be to generate income for the unit.

As a result, half a year later, the steel market suddenly changed, the price plummeted, and the steel worth more than 200 million yuan that was hoarded at the beginning not only failed to create any income for the enterprise, but also lost most of the money, and finally even the principal and interest of the bank loan for the relocation of the enterprise could not be repaid, which directly led to the bankruptcy of the enterprise.

In retrospect, that kind of consequence was completely caused by the wrong decision of the enterprise operator! Regarding that incident, Chen Xueliang wanted to hear Guan Yuntian's opinion, "Mr. Guan, if the Changda Group encounters that kind of situation, how will it generally deal with it?"

"Are you saying that you embezzle idle funds to hoard raw materials? It's not that you can't do it, but you must be cautious, otherwise, you will lose all your money. ”
