Chapter 69 Section 4 Song Jiang's Management Theory

As the saying goes: "When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds." When the company is big, there will be various intricate management problems.Zhang San complained in the morning, and Li Si and Wang Wu argued in the afternoon.There were production accidents for a while, and customer complaints for a while.Chao Gai said irritably: "There are so many troubles, and I am the King of Tota, and I am Nezha with three heads and six arms, and I am powerless to deal with it." After all the tossing until the end of the year, the company will distribute bonuses and benefits to everyone. It is supposed to be a happy thing for everyone, right?Unexpectedly, many disputes arose.You are fighting for fame and fortune, and I am also fighting for power. They both feel that what they get is too little, and they both think that the company's profit distribution system is unfair. The "red-haired ghost" Liu Tangchong came to President Chao's office, threw a basket of peaches in front of Chao Gai, and shouted angrily: "Mr. , I can’t even be a vice president, so if I’m asked to be a department manager, I’ll admit it. After working hard all year round, I finally get a basket of peaches, and half of them are rotten. It’s too much!”

Chao Gai said, "Brother Liu Tang, don't be angry. I'll give you my basket of fresh peaches, okay?" Liu Tang was still yelling: "Can I not be angry? Peach, I can buy it myself. But, look at my poor bonus. Just calculate how much I have contributed to the company, and now give me Such a small bonus is too exploitative!" Song Jiang came over to stop Liu Tang and said, "Liu Tang, you are all brothers who started a business together. You can't say that. You only know how to count your share with your fingers, and you only know that you pay more and get less. However, you are actually bullying President Chao. You must know that your work can only form value through market exchange. The role of the company is that it can build and maintain such a market operation mechanism, and the operation of this mechanism is It requires cost. If everyone, like you, takes away all the profits from their work and dumps all the costs to the company, then what does the company rely on to maintain this market operation mechanism?"

Liu Tang was speechless, but snorted unconvinced. Song Jiang continued: "The reason why the company is called a company shows that it is a public institution owned by brothers, and there is no problem of who exploits anyone. However, it has many problems in management. It should be fairer, more reasonable, It is more efficient. Brother Liu Tang, you should think about the company and help the company and President Chao to solve these problems properly. But look at you, what are you doing? In my opinion, it is not President Chao who is going too far, but you .For a few rotten peaches, messing around here, as for it?"

Liu Tang listened, stood up abruptly, picked up the basket of peaches and left.Song Jiang looked back at Chao Gai, only to see him sitting deeply in the chair, his face looked so weak. "I really don't know what they are thinking!" Chao Gai said innocently, "Everyone is making trouble for me. Even if I don't share an apple, I will make trouble if I don't share a peach. I can't live in peace. You say Say, do they still think of me as their big brother?" Song Jiang said: "It's not me who is a brother talking about you. You are my big brother, and you are also their big brother, but you seem to have mistaken your other identity. Your other identity is the boss of the company, but You don't seem to realize that people don't see you as the boss, but as the god of wealth. Everyone wants to get benefits from you, and you are trying to satisfy everyone's benefits, but in fact, being the boss and the god of wealth It’s two different things. What’s the job of being a boss? It’s not just about giving everyone money and benefits, but more importantly, management.”

Chao Gai sighed and said: "You are right, I was confused. But managing this matter is easier said than done! Back then, I was just Baozheng of Dongxi Village, a village head. Now, such a How can a big company manage it?" Song Jiang said: "There are two kinds of people in the world. One kind of people do everything by themselves, and the other kind of people find ways to let others do it. The so-called management means that they don't do the work themselves, but find ways to let others do it. Why don't you work? The ancients said: "If you do it yourself, you can't appoint virtuous people. If you can't appoint virtuous people, the virtuous will hate you. The reason why this reputation is hurt is the reason why the country is in danger." I have studied more than 100 successful people from all over the world. They all have a common characteristic, they don’t do anything themselves, but they are very good at instructing others to do it. Even if they have unique skills, they seldom go into battle in person, but leave the opportunity to do things to others. I think, let The boss should be a good boss, and the employee should be a good employee, and each perform their own duties, this is called management.”

Chao Gai asked timidly: "Tell me, what kind of person is suitable to be a boss? Can a person like me who was born as a village head be a good boss?" Song Jiang said: "Of course you can be a good boss, but you have to consider three issues: who to employ? How to employ them? And how do you do it yourself? Brothers come to this company because of their loyalty. But loyalty is commendable. , everyone has their own personality traits. Some people are more simple, and you do what you say, just don’t use your brain. Some people like to use their brains, but they often do things wrong by being smart, just like Like Jiang Gan in the story of the Three Kingdoms, there is not enough success and more than failure. Some people are simple and smart, do things down-to-earth, and are good at solving problems creatively. You can find a simple and smart person to be your assistant. Help you manage other people—let your assistant do the work for you while you enjoy your time."

Chao Gai said: "You are right. But where can I find such a simple and intelligent assistant?" Song Jiang pondered: "Let me try it first, how about it? When you find a more suitable one, I will make way. I think Song Jiang, although IQ is not high, but I manage the 'red-haired ghost' Liu Tang, 'White Rat' "Bai Sheng and these people are nothing to worry about. As your assistant, if I manage well, it means you manage well." Chao Gai was overjoyed, so he appointed Song Jiang as the executive vice president. He traveled around the mountains and rivers by himself, or found someone to accompany him to fish, so he could enjoy leisure time.Song Jiang began to preside over the daily management of the company under one person and over ten thousand people.Occasionally, someone would come to Chao Gai to complain, and Chao Gai always defended Song Jiang with deep understanding: "It is not easy to manage such a large company well! We are all brothers, so please forgive him! "
