Chapter 45 Section 4 "Leopard Head" Lin Chong's Green Grass Melancholy

One gloomy afternoon, Wu Yong accidentally ran into "Leopard Head" Lin Chong in Mrs. Gu's hotel.Later, there were two such encounters in a row. In this way, the first time was a stranger, the second time was acquaintance, and the third time and fourth time became good friends. "Coach Lin," Wu Yong asked, "Why do you always drink alone here?" Lin Chong replied: "I'm in a bad mood recently, and I seem to have some depression. Drink some wine and feel dizzy, so I can go back to sleep." Wu Yong continued to ask strangely: "Hero Lin Jiaotou, how can you be depressed? Is it a matter of work or life? Could it be that you fell in love with a beautiful woman and hurt your feelings by her?"

Lin Chong smiled wryly and said, "How can a poor man like me have the right to talk extravagantly about beautiful women?" Wu Yong continued to ask strangely: "How can you be a pauper? As the head coach Lin, you can be considered a high-ranking professional manager in the company. How can you be a pauper?" Lin Chong sighed and replied: "Ordinarily, I should also have some income. But the reality is hard to describe. You are an outsider, and it is hard to tell you." "Coach Lin is wrong to say that." Wu Yong protested, "I regard you as a friend, but you treat me as an outsider. But who are your 'insiders'? Are they colleagues from your company? What outsiders 'insiders'? Some things, you really can't tell your 'insiders', you have to tell friends like me. Who doesn't have their own friends?"

Lin Chong was choked by the question and was speechless for a while, so he had to continue drinking. "Let me tell you, Teacher Lin," Wu Yong persuaded earnestly, "It's not that I am a friend who talks too much. There are two kinds of animals in this workplace, carnivores and herbivores. Carnivores have the way of carnivores. Herbivores live like herbivores. You are a great hero, so of course you should be a ferocious carnivore. Since you are a carnivore, you should fight for the treatment that carnivores deserve." Lin Chong's heart was pounding when he heard it, but he still didn't say anything, and continued to drink dull wine.

Wu Yong observed his words and continued, "I'll tell you a story. The title of the story is "The Tiger Eating Grass Today." The story goes that a young tiger came to the zoo and lived in the same cage as two other old tigers.What is strange is that every time the administrator comes to feed, he always gives each old tiger a large piece of meat, but only gives the young tiger a basket of green grass. The young tiger was puzzled and thought, "Maybe it's because I'm new here? Don't worry about it so much!" Unexpectedly, after three months like this, the young tiger still only got a basket of green grass.It finally couldn't hold back anymore, and asked the administrator: "Why do you still let me eat grass after I have been here for three months?"

The steward replied, "Because you made up for the lack of sheep." Wu Yong said, "I don't know why you eat grass. But I know, you are not a sheep, but a tiger. Oh, yes, you are a leopard. When a tiger or leopard is forced to eat grass all day At times, you suffer from malnutrition on the one hand and mental torment on the other—apparently, that's why you're depressed, restless, and distracted. That is, being a carnivore , you have already suffered from 'grass depression'." Lin Chong stayed there as if struck by lightning, and asked after a while, "Professor, according to your theory, what is the difference between carnivores and herbivores in the workplace?"

Wu Yong said: "According to my observation, there are enterprising employees and step-by-step employees in the enterprise. To the company's managers, step-by-step employees are like herbivores, docile, loyal, and unambitious. They Peaceful and patient, they pursue a stable organizational life. They tend to be the maintainers of the company's management system, not the attackers. They are used to obeying the rules and regulations, take pride in obeying the rules and regulations, and hope that others will abide by the rules and regulations. They are as lifeless as bricks, but they are the stabilizers of the entire organization, and without them, the orderly normalcy of the company would immediately become shaky."

Lin Chong asked: "So, what is the difference between enterprising employees?" Wu Yong said: "Contrary to step-by-step employees, enterprising employees are like tigers or leopards proud of the jungle. They are ambitious, full of vigilance and strength, brave to challenge difficulties, and often create impressive management performance. or sales performance. But it is worth noting that they are as dangerous as carnivores. On the one hand, they need the company to provide them with incentives for their work. On the other hand, they are always threatening the company's management. and business."

Lin Chong defended: "I think I may really suffer from 'grass depression'. My heart is full of self-compassion, but I don't want to threaten anyone. I think I was so enthusiastic and devoted when I first came to Liangshan. It's so high-spirited. But, what have I got? A basket of green grass. It's so unfair!" Wu Yong said: "Don't you feel that it is your tragic mood that is challenging the management and business of Liangshan Company? What I want to explain is that challenge and threat are not derogatory terms, but your kind. The natural temperament of a carnivore-type employee. Would you rather be a tiger or a leopard eating grass?"

Lin Chong was speechless, and asked after a while, "According to what you said, I, a carnivore, have reason to be worried and angry." Wu Yong said: "The responsibility of a leader is to know people and be good at their duties. According to the step-by-step personality characteristics of herbivore employees, let them be responsible for managing administrative affairs. Also according to the aggressive personality characteristics of carnivore employees, let them be responsible. Business development. At the same time, they must be provided with a satisfactory remuneration and treatment. The administrator who let the tiger eat grass obviously did not follow the rules of the game, and he was simply a big bastard who violated the principles of nature and human ethics. From this point of view, not only are you justified in worrying and indignation, once you are extremely worried and angry, you are also justified in rebelling!"
