Chapter 238 November 27 to get rid of dependence

To have a rich life, we must be in control of our own life.Many people will say, this is not easy, life is in our hands.In fact, in the process of growing up, we will be controlled by other things if we are not careful, making us empty and soulless.Human beings' dependence on something is a sign that life and soul are under control.To get rid of this control requires, in addition to great perseverance and courage, special insight, because demons often confuse us in the guise of beauty. A few years ago, Yu Minhong bought an IBM laptop. Since then, all work plans and reports have to be completed by it, and letters are sent and received by email.During that period, Yu Minhong developed a habit of bringing a laptop with him no matter when he went out for business or travel. The computer became the most important part of his life and could not be separated for a moment.

As the founder and actual controller of New Oriental, Yu Minhong focuses on strategy with one hand and details with the other, and both hands are tough.Too much involvement in details is Yu Minhong's outstanding advantage and obvious disadvantage.From his own "computer dependence", Yu Minhong realized a bigger problem. The New Oriental brand relied too much on him. If Yu Minhong had a personal problem, it would definitely affect the overall development of the company.Therefore, for a long time in the past, he gradually withdrew from specific management affairs and selected suitable senior executives to take on the role.Such a role change is a pain for him and New Oriental.Labor pains are unavoidable, what Yu Minhong can do is try his best to shorten the labor pain period and transition smoothly and safely.

Strict rules and regulations and rigorous process design are effective in ensuring the service quality of enterprises, but at the same time, they will also generate dependence and depress human nature objectively, because the standardized arrangements that are too rigid in principle ignore and indifferent employees to a certain extent autonomy and flexibility.
