Chapter 12 3. Manager Kang: Think like a boss

In order to solve the crisis of Obai's "Memoirs", Wei Xiaobao quietly went to visit Prince Kang, President Kang. Kang always watched how Oboi was brought down by Wei Xiaobao, and he knew that this little thing was the hottest celebrity in front of Chairman Kangxi. A few words will be of great benefit to your promotion. So when Wei Xiaobao came, Mr. Kang immediately greeted him with a smile: "Manager Wei has worked hard, it's really hard work to let you go all the way, please, this way please, this way please." Wei Xiaobao Looking around, looking at the calligraphy and painting on the wall: "Mr. Kang, you really know how to enjoy it!" Mr. Kang hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Xiaobao sit down: "It's so-so, and it's not all thanks to the help of brothers. Hey, Manager Wei, tell my brother To be honest, Chairman Kang sent you here this time, what's the important thing?"

Wei Xiaobao laughed: "Mr. Kang, as supervisors, we just need to do our job well. Why ask so many questions? It's unnecessary." Mr. Kang shook his head: "Manager Wei, I disagree with what you said. You said, what is the difference between us as supervisors and ordinary employees?" "What's the difference?" Wei Xiaobao was still pretending to be confused, "It's just that the responsibility is greater and the burden is heavier." Mr. Kang shook his head again and again: "Manager Wei, what you said is only superficial. In fact, a supervisor is fundamentally different from an employee."

"Oh?" Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, "What's the essential difference?" "The difference between employees and supervisors is that," Mr. Kang said slowly after taking a sip of tea, "Employees do things right, and supervisors do things right." "Well, why do I sound the same?" Wei Xiaobao didn't know anything about management, so he was confused. Seeing him like this, Mr. Kang explained: "An employee does things correctly, that is to say, he is a good employee as long as he does the work assigned to him well and does not make mistakes. The supervisor does the right thing, that is to say, the supervisor does the right thing. If you want to grasp the main thread in the thousands of threads, what should be urgent, what should be slow, what should be done, and what should not be done, you must have a spectrum in your heart, otherwise, you will be chaotic without a goal. Doing things in a consistent manner is not in line with the development of the company or even runs counter to it. This kind of executive who only knows how to do things but does not know what to do will be eliminated sooner or later."

Regarding Mr. Kang's words, Wei Xiaobao took it very seriously, but pretended to be ignorant and said: "Although it is said that, but the specific work must be done by someone, as long as you are bored with your work, you will never suffer." Mr. Kang shook his head again and again: "Manager Wei, if you really think so, then you really don't know much about the workplace. Haven't you heard the story of Zhu Bajie in the workplace?" Wei Xiaobao was very surprised: "Zhu Bajie? In the workplace? It must be very interesting, right?" Mr. Kang snorted resentfully: "It's not necessarily interesting, but it will always be beneficial if you listen to it." Then, he told Wei Xiaobao the following story:

But it is said that Tang Sanzang recruited Sun Houzi as his public relations manager on his way westward to learn Buddhist scriptures, and the journey went smoothly.But with Sun Houzi as an employee, he faced a management problem. For this reason, Tang Sanzang decided to hire another employee to take charge of our administrative work.In this way, in Gao Laozhuang, Zhu Bajie met the recruitment requirements of long mouth and big ears, and was hired. When Ba Jie first entered the workplace, he was full of idealism, he wanted to do his job well, and tried his best to express himself.After leaving Gaolaozhuang, they encountered a black bear monster charging tolls. Bajie stepped forward to argue, and there was a fierce conflict between words and body collisions; the matter became serious until Guanyin came After mediation, Tang Sanzang took out his cassock as toll, and the matter was settled.It turned out that this black bear monster was a toll post established by Guanyin's Putuoshan Co., Ltd., and Bajie didn't know it, so this misunderstanding happened.

After the incident happened, Tang Sanzang reprimanded Bajie: "Bajie, people in the workplace rely on their brains to do things. If you don't even talk about strategies in doing things like you, and offend all the gods, we will Why go to the West, what scriptures do you want to learn? You have to know that our study group is just a project implementation team, and the leaders at all levels are paying attention to us. Any achievements we have must take into account the leadership Otherwise, even if you go to Xitian, you will not be able to get the scriptures. Look at Wukong, he is very good at communication, and when he finds that the black bear monster is not easy to deal with, he immediately goes to the black bear monster’s superior Guanyin supervisor. , the problem was solved immediately!"

There was something in Tang Sanzang's words, and Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes when he heard it. He felt that the words seemed to be reprimanding himself, but they seemed to be speaking to Sun Houzi.So he paid attention, observed slowly, and found that Tang Sanzang was originally dissatisfied with Sun Houzi. The so-called "any achievements we have achieved are all achieved under the leadership of the leaders" Tell Sun Monkey.Because Sun Houzi is used to being free and undisciplined, lacks team spirit, and has not developed the habit of obeying and respecting leaders, this has added a lot of trouble to Tang Sanzang's management.

Bajie finally understood that the reason why Tang Sanzang recruited Zhu Bajie was not that Zhu Bajie was superior in any way, on the contrary, but because Sun Houzi seldom considered the interests of the leader when he was working, and it was inevitable that things would be troublesome. But with half the effort, hard work has failed to achieve the desired goal.What annoys Tang Sanzang even more is that Sun Houzi has serious individualism and loves to show off. He always intentionally or unintentionally uses his own ability to set off Tang Sanzang's incompetence, and ignores the taboo in the workplace that employees cannot be better than supervisors.It is precisely to solve this management problem that Zhu Bajie was recruited to act as a check and balance on Sun Monkey.

After understanding this truth, Bajie no longer worked hard in the field, but turned to help Tang Sanzang manage the monkey grandson. The main job is to be responsible for the supervision and attendance of the monkey grandson. Specifically, It is to help Tang Sanzang recite the magic spell to Sun Houzi, and strengthen Tang Sanzang's leadership ability to the team.From then on, Bajie's life became easier, and he went to the headquarters of Xitian Bliss Co., Ltd. happily, and the rewards he received were only more than Sun Monkey and no less than Sun Monkey. After telling this story, Prince Kang said meaningfully: "Manager Wei, any organizational system is a balanced system formed by the interests of all parties, and our Daqing Industrial Development Co., Ltd. is no exception. If every employee is not Starting from the company's interest check and balance mechanism, but blindly doing whatever you want, you will inevitably be like Zhu Bajie who is new to the workplace. Everyone sees your hard work, but what you can do is not beneficial to the organization's interest structure. The more you do this kind of thing, the less impact it will have on the company's interest structure, and it will even deviate from the company's strategic development direction, which is not only not beneficial to the company, but even less beneficial to you personally.

"So," finally Prince Kang concluded, "so we need to understand what the boss is thinking at the moment, and let our work keep up with the rhythm of the boss, then we will get twice the result with half the effort, which is the reason , I just asked you what Chairman Kang cares most about right now, and only by starting with the things the boss cares about the most will our efforts be truly valuable." You have to think like a boss, think and act to be valuable to your boss.
