Chapter 37 36. The characteristics of high-potential talents-never satisfied with the status quo

36. The characteristics of high-potential talents-never satisfied with the status quo Busy days pass quickly, and it has been three months since Li Kun was promoted in the blink of an eye. As a regional HR, Du Lala asked Chen Feng about the position of the new manager as usual: "Chen Feng, how is Li Kun's team doing?" Chen Feng said: "He can complete the target, and the completion rate is even higher than other old managers. As we expected, Li Kun's business ideas are indeed relatively clear. In addition, he controls the expenses very well. , I have done more indicators, but the cost has saved me some money.”

Lala asked with concern: "What about other aspects? Are the people in the group under his control?" Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "Fortunately, I think his plan for allocating indicators and resources is relatively fair, and he can grasp the key points; moreover, he has the idea of ​​actively developing subordinates! Especially for those who are less experienced in the group Yes, his devotion can be regarded as sincere—don’t tell me, on this point, the old manager may not be able to give as effortlessly as he does.” Lala asked: "What about the shortcomings?"

Chen Feng paused and said: "As you know, Li Kun is stingy, sometimes he is too picky in some details, and his vision of people needs to be retrained. But in short, for the new manager , You can’t expect too much at once, first of all, it’s enough for me to complete the target, and the rest should be done slowly.” Lala said with emotion: "To be honest, from the perspective of a bystander, I think it's just like Li Kun's work, two words, 'work hard'! It's a good life to be a boss to be assigned to such a subordinate." Chen Feng said with a smile: "I think it's good to be your boss - Li Kun's willingness to work is nothing to say. At the beginning, after weighing between Yao Yang and him for a long time, he finally decided to promote him. played a big role.”

Lala studied Chen Feng's expression and said, "It seems that you are quite satisfied with Li Kun." Chen Feng advertised himself: "I am calm and easy to be satisfied." Lala smiled and elongated her tone to expose: "Chen Feng, are you still calm? Wang Haitao has clearly completed the target, and you are still forcing him to continue to do more! What is this called? It is called maximizing the pursuit of surplus. Value! If you want to squeeze people, don’t say it outright, pretending that it’s easy to be satisfied.” Chen Feng argued: "I'm not pretending, I'm indeed easier to be satisfied, so let's just forget about it."

Lala approached Chen Feng, lowered her voice and said threateningly: "You said you are easy to be satisfied, right? I want your boss TONY Lin to know this, so be careful not to delay your career! A typical characteristic of high potential talents is never to be satisfied with the status quo. Constantly challenge higher goals, this is what you Tony Lin has repeatedly emphasized." Chen Feng opened his mouth and said helplessly, "Hey, I made a mistake." Lala said triumphantly: "On behalf of TONY Lin, I forgive you." Chen Feng said sternly: "Don't tell me, Li Kun has high demands on himself and his subordinates, and he seems to be never satisfied with the status quo. You might as well observe his potential."

Lala concluded: "It seems that you are really satisfied with Li Kun." Unexpectedly, within a few days of saying this, Lala, who was on a business trip in Beijing, received a call from Yao Yang, saying that all of their colleagues wanted to talk to HR together. Lala asked in surprise, "What do you want to talk about?" After Yao Yang explained on the phone, Lala finally understood that everyone was strongly dissatisfied with Li Kun's management and was going to ask for a collective dialogue with the company. Yao Yang bit the words "group dialogue" very hard on the phone, and then confessed that she did not want to participate because she was afraid that other colleagues in the group would have opinions on her; There was a big trouble——she felt that her position was very awkward, and after much deliberation she decided to report a letter to Lala.

Lala immediately asked Yao Yang: "Have you talked to Chen Feng about this?" Yao Yang explained: "The boss seemed a little unwell this afternoon, so he left early. When I called him, his cell phone was always busy. I will contact him later." Chen Feng has always been in good health, and Lala guessed that he had a temporary cold or fever. Lala praised Yao Yang a few words, saying that she will rush back to Guangzhou that night, she will check the situation with Chen Feng first, and give everyone an answer as soon as possible. Lala immediately called Chen Feng, but Chen Feng answered it quickly.Lala asked him straightforwardly if he knew about the affairs in Li Kun's group. Chen Feng's calm voice came from the phone, and he said: "Li Kun told me just now, and I was just about to call you. I guess it is a new The manager's management method is not very sophisticated, which has caused dissatisfaction among the people below."

Lara asked him, "Then what are you going to do?" Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "Since the salesmen have already raised it so formally, it's not good to avoid it. I think you should sit down with me and have a group meeting with everyone, and listen to everyone's opinions face to face." Lala was surprised by this, and she asked with concern: "How could it be so serious? What is Li Kun's estimate of the cause?" Chen Feng told Lala: "Li Kun only knows that everyone has opinions on his management method, but he still can't figure out where the specific problem is. I think he is very stressed and nervous."

Lala said, "Who did Li Kun hear about this?" Chen Feng said: "He said that Lu Qiubai told him. After all, Lu Qiubai is an old employee and knows how to measure. It is said that he first did the ideological work for everyone, but he couldn't press it down. He saw that something was wrong, so he hurried Li Kun was notified. But Lu Qiubai didn't say anything very specific, I don't know if he didn't want to go into details or Li Kun was upset and didn't know how to ask." Anyone who knows Lu Qiubai knows that he has a good heart, is smooth in dealing with things, and has a relatively average professional level.The manager vacancy left by Tian Ye and Qiu Bai also wanted to give it a try. Later, Tian Ye persuaded him that in foreign countries, many salesmen can continue to retire, work easily, and earn a lot of money. Isn’t that kind of life uncomfortable? Happy?In fact, being a manager is all about hard work. In this sense, not everyone wants to be a manager—Hu Qiubai knows that Chen Feng has always had a good relationship with Tian Ye. Since Tian Ye said so, Chen Feng probably meant it. , he voluntarily withdrew his application for employment.

After Li Kun took office, Lu Qiubai did have opinions on Li Kun's management. He had privately communicated with Li Kun twice, but Li Kun was polite in his words, but stubborn in his actions.According to Lu Qiubai, if there is a problem, it is enough to report it to the leader in private. Some bumps and bumps at work are inevitable, but there is no great hatred. Everyone is just a part-time job, so why make things bigger. In Lu Qiubai's view, the collective leapfrog appeal seemed too organized and planned, and seemed a bit rebellious. Moreover, he heard that the young people thought that they could use the collective departure as a bargaining chip to force the company to replace Li Kun. Isn't it "coercion"?Lu Qiubai was worried that the company would be pushed into a hurry, and everyone would have no good fruit to eat. Maybe it would be hard to say that all those involved in the trouble would be killed.

Lu Qiubai has been working in DB for sixteen years. He has experienced a lot from a 25-year-old boy to a 41-year-old middle-aged man. Instinctively, he was unwilling to participate in the group of young salesmen in their twenties and thirties, but seeing the enthusiasm and slickness of the crowd, he was not ashamed to draw a clear line with everyone. Under the embarrassment, Lu Qiubai and Li Kun let it out, suggesting that Li Kun should go to Chen Feng to find a solution, lest those young people simply bring the matter to the Shanghai headquarters, which would cause a big problem. Lala asked Chen Feng: "Do you think we should let Li Kun go to this meeting with us?" Chen Feng asked back, "What's your opinion?" Lala scolded: "You are always like this, let me say everything first - I think as long as Li Kun himself is willing, we might as well let him go to this meeting with us, and deal with it in a big way. You have to bear it sooner or later. I can't hide from it either." Chen Feng agreed: "I think so too." Lala asked Chen Feng: "What do you think is wrong with Li Kun?" Chen Feng pondered: "Targets and fees are eternal topics. It is estimated that these two can't get away. Maybe there are other problems, such as not respecting the people below? But the bad thing is that everyone is against him now. Under normal circumstances, if there are problems with fees and indicators, there are always victims and there are beneficiaries, and everyone should not fight against it together.” Lala hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who took the lead? Does Li Kun know?" Chen Feng said: "I asked him, he guessed it was Yao Yang, but there is no proof." Lala suddenly remembered a person, and asked: "Just now you said it was 'everyone together', did Su Qianchang also participate?" Chen Feng said with certainty: "Yes, she also participated. The salesmen have asked my assistant to hand me a letter formally requesting to arrange a group interview. The letter has Su Qianchang's signature on it." Lala let out an "oh", greatly surprised, and the two were speechless for a while. Chen Feng first broke the silence and asked where Lala was. Lala said that she was in Beijing and was on her way to the airport, and she would arrive in Guangzhou in the evening. Chen Feng thought for a while, and suggested: "If you can arrange your time well, how about we inform the salesmen to come back for a meeting tomorrow afternoon?" Lala readily agreed: "No problem, let's do it at 4:30 pm tomorrow, so it won't affect their business." Chen Feng thanked him and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's wait for you to come back, and let's talk in person tomorrow morning." Lala hung up the phone and looked out the window silently. The taxi was running on the Yanglin Avenue, the ground was yellow, the north wind was screaming cheerfully, passing by the bare treetops, Lala thought, it was almost Chinese New Year. After a while, Lala suddenly thought of why she forgot to check on Chen Feng's health just now. She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Chen Feng: "Are you sick?" Chen Feng replied to the text message, "It's okay, it's just a sore throat." ... Lala flew to Beijing twice recently, and the China Southern Airlines flight was late, so she deliberately changed the Air China flight almost superstitiously. As a result, it seemed that it was designed to fight against her. My flight was late, and it was two hours a night.Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the waiting hall, Lala watched the China Southern Airlines flight take off into the night sky, but she could only sit and wait stupidly. Delay seemed to be her fate this winter.Lala was so angry that after admiring the boundless night at the airport, she was finally tired from eating, and she didn't care about being polite. Amid the unhurried and endless radio broadcasts at the Capital Airport, half of her body slumped on the chair. fell asleep.When I fell asleep, my body became cold, and my brows frowned. Four months ago, Wang Wei once saw Lala standing in the queue waiting for boarding at the boarding gate to Guangzhou. Since then, he has developed a habit. He had to scan the crowd waiting to board the plane. Wang Wei felt that as long as he persisted in this action, the probability of seeing Lala could not be considered very small. Hard work pays off, when Wang Wei repeated the procedure this time, he saw the famous stubborn donkey Du Lala sleeping wantonly.Although he has always expressed confidence from the perspective of probability, Wang Wei still froze on the spot as if he had been bumped by someone. He hesitated for a while, looked around, and then walked carefully to a place three or two steps away from Lala. Stopping, Wang Wei looked down at Lala's face intently, probably because she was too tired, she opened her mouth slightly.Wang Wei saw that her chin became sharper, her dark circles became more pronounced than before, and a few strands of hair fell down and covered her face. Wang Wei's throat felt hot, and he suddenly remembered a time when Lala put her feet at an unimaginable angle majestically on the yoga mat, and there was a book about Duras next to him, and he insisted on remembering it. Two "good words and good sentences", to the effect that "how many people have admired your delicate face when you were young, but I love your now ravaged face even more".Wang Wei felt that the word "destroyed" was a bit shocking, so he was reluctant at the time, persuading him: "Lala, it is a new society now, and besides which corner of the world is still in the matrilineal era, it is estimated that the The social status of our Chinese women is high, how dare I let your face be destroyed?" The affection from the past was like a net that fell from the sky, covering Wang Wei unexpectedly.He pondered whether Lala asked him to recite the phrase "good words and good sentences" at that time, whether he wanted him to promise to grow old together.Wang Wei suppressed the impact of memories with emotion, and saw that a large woolen scarf covering Lala's body was about to slip to the ground, he hesitated and reached out to cover her again. Lala was sleeping soundly, but she suddenly straightened up, as if she didn't know where she was, and looked around in a daze, while reaching out to check if Xiao Hei, who was making the pillow, was okay, a kindly-looking middle-aged woman next to her Enthusiastically said to Lala: "Your scarf is about to fall to the ground, I pulled it for you, did it wake you up?" Lala wiped the saliva from her lips in a panic, looking very ridiculous Tell others: "No, no, thank you."
