Management is the sum of all methods used to achieve a certain goal.
This concept is not obtained casually. I have learned a lot of things and read a lot of books to summarize. This sentence has a very accurate understanding of management.
It first says that it is to achieve a certain goal, that is, management is born for the goal. As long as the goal is set accurately in management, it is basically half successful. Setting goals is very critical, and it must not be unrealistic or too realistic.
It's like my daughter's shots. She takes one today, two tomorrow, and three the day after tomorrow. It will take many days to get 100. So on the first day, I told her if I could try to shoot ten, but I quickly got ten. After two days of shooting, I encouraged her to shoot 100, so she only used 100 balls three or four times.
Just imagine, if I didn’t dare to set 100, there might never be 100. Therefore, as a manager, sometimes the goals must be higher than reality.
Generally, problems arise when setting goals. Some managers set goals are too realistic, even more realistic than reality. For example, the team's ability is 9, and the goal is not set to 6, which is harmful to employees. If you love employees, you must be higher than their ability, which is the same as climbing a mountain.
1. Crossing the desert is a management
Back then, we took members of the Golden Crown Club to hike the desert. We had to climb three mountains in three days. The coach was very smart. The first day we came up was the highest hill. After climbing, we felt very happy to climb a lower mountain the next day, and we climbed even lower on the third day.
The cleverness of the coach is that it is the most difficult to climb first. Some members asked me if I have a car. I said I can’t take a car. If you don’t climb, you will spend the night here. But if you climb, you can’t climb on the road and we will help you, and carry you over with you in your back. You won’t be left alone. Think about it, just climb.
I am just cheering up the team. The ultimate goal is to let everyone withstand this goal. Everyone completed the task through the desert without missing a single one.
In fact, this is a life. That time, crossing the desert is a management process. When a manager sets goals, the team is too low and the team cannot grow, and it cannot be completed even if it is too high. However, high must be appropriately high. Generally speaking, it must be higher than the team's expectations and also manage the employees' expectations well.
How did that coach manage our expectations? He said that he took a class of high school students the previous year, and all of them were climbed over, so we could do it even better.
This example truly illustrates that management is the sum of all methods used for a goal.
2. Temples also need management
In fact, management is not only a business need, but also a temple needs management. The goal of temple management is to help mankind from confusion to awakening, and it is also a Buddhist goal. It is the same as our company's mission to help e-commerce success.
Therefore, to achieve your goal, the management of temples includes the kind of management of temples, and temple Dharma Assembly, teachings, lectures, etc. are all centered around this.
Of course, different organizations have different management methods. Organizations like enterprises are in a sense for profit, which is what ordinary people think of as a goal. Companies with more pursuits must be for a certain meaning, just like our company is to help e-commerce succeed, which is in line with the right way.
If all companies are just for performance or making money, they will not go far.
“
Why can't you go far? Because when you make money, you will have no motivation and you will lose more things to enjoy. Just like people eat, the ninth steamed bun is no different from the eighth, and the sense of happiness has not changed much.
”
Many companies have no motivation after going public, and later delisted because they have no motivation to struggle, especially the founding team has made money. Therefore, the spiritual motivation of a company is very important, and only with this can we keep moving forward.
A company cannot focus all its goals on just making money, and it will be a matter of time before bankruptcy is done. Of course, money is also to be earned. This is the material goal and is for the welfare of employees. But making money is just a result, it is the inevitable result after you help customers solve problems and provide value.
Therefore, the existence of a company must revolve around creating value, and each position also revolves around creating value and creating value for customers. Only in this way can the company get greater profits, and then distribute them to each employee, so that employees can get greater profits.
This is the root cause and must not be reversed.
Walk with me
Starting a business is difficult. In the future, e-commerce companies will not compete for anyone who has more e-commerce talents, but for more professional talents, such as management, marketing, brand, strategy, business, human resources, etc. You can examine what your company lacks, and make up for what it lacks to ensure that you have the ability to deal with the future market.
Remember not to fight alone, be sure to walk with a group of people, not only to be more powerful, but also to have more resources. If you are trapped in the situation and lack strength and resources, please add me on WeChat (a boss above tens of millions) to discuss trends and directions together and make new growth.
