In 2020, from a person who "does things" to a person who "plays games"

The following is an excellent article written by one of my teachers, An Quan, and I want to share it with you:

First of all, you should know whether you are a doer or a schemer.

Doing things is doing things best. It follows the "way of things" and pays attention to "technology".

The vast majority of people in society are people who do things, such as wage earners, freelancers and part-time workers. Their occupations include drivers, farmers, accountants, HR, lawyers, workers, doctors, teachers and so on. They have certain skills and then earn money by selling their labor. Their ability to work multiplied by the time they put in is the wealth they can get.

But for everyone, our time and physical strength are similar. No one has 25 hours a day, so everyone can only constantly improve their knowledge and skills.

There is one way for them to become powerful, and that is to be famous.

For example, the same is to make money by acting, and the rewards of stars and extras are worlds apart; Also make money by design. Famous designers are worth much more than ordinary designers, and they also make money by helping others with lawsuits. Senior lawyers are much more valuable than ordinary lawyers. The same is to make money by treating diseases, and famous doctors have to spend a lot of money to get it; The same is true of human resources. Many personnel commissioners earn less than the director in one year after five years.

Therefore, people who "do things" rely on "technology" in the initial stage and "reputation" to a certain extent, but reputation depends on ability and value output, which is not only the result of superb technology to a certain extent.

Let's look at the "game" people again.

In order to make the society work better, they silently set up an overall situation (system) behind the scenes. Strategically, winning a battle thousands of miles away is called a game, following the "sky".

During the Warring States period, the ceremony collapsed, the people's hearts were not ancient, countries continued to conquer, and people's lives were not peaceful. Guiguzi hiding in the deep forest has a heart: plan a game to end this troubled times.

One yin and one yang is the Tao. He taught two apprentices, Wen and Wu. Then Wen had Su Qin and Yi Cheung, and Wu had Pang Juan and Sun Bin, so they could live together.

Guiguzi played a big game of chess and let Pang Juan go down the mountain first. He helped Wei stand out. This is called starting the game; Then Sun Bin became the strategist of the State of Qi, and controlled the State of Wei within a certain range. At this time, Qi became a traditional power, confronting the rising star Qin Dongxi. It's called a game.

Then Su Qin attached itself to the six countries and contacted other countries to surround Qin from south to north, which was called "union". Make Qiang Qin dare not go out of Hangu Pass for fifteen years; Finally, Zhang Yi came out of the mountain, and he adopted the "Lian Heng" strategy: communicate and promise one by one, make friends, attack and isolate countries, then break them one by one, and finally unify China!

Guiguzi sits alone in the deep forest, but he can remotely control the world. His disciples galloped like chess pieces falling step by step. This is called layout.

People who play games are never in the game, and even jumping out of the three realms is not in the five elements. They are not shocked and humiliated, watching the flowers bloom in front of the court; I have no intention of staying, and I have no intention of staying, looking up at the clouds in the sky.

The people who run the bureau are people who care about the world. Their hearts are tied to the whole world, and there is a great love hidden in their chests. The highest level of game management is: people abandon me and take it, people take me and give it, and I have no self.

People who do things often make money by their labor income, while people who do things often rely on the establishment of "incentive mechanism", "salary system" and "performance system" to drive the company's "human efficiency growth" to enhance the value of self-existence.

People who play games are good at building systems. They are good at simplifying complex problems, quantifying simple problems, programming quantified problems and systematizing programmed problems. This is the basic logic of playing games.

Their actions are usually divided into four steps:

First: be far-sighted/see the general trend clearly.

Second: create value/grasp the trend.

Third: Establish a team/plan in advance.

Fourth: build a system/follow suit.

In addition, people who play games are good at watching the sky.

What is "heaven"? It consists of three parts:

The first is the "trend": the incentive system.

The trend is like a river, mighty, and those who follow the wind die against the trend.

The incentive system is like a wheel under a high-speed train, which allows every employee of the company to move forward quickly with their own driving force. ......

The second is "tool": performance system.

Tools, like hoes and sickles in farmers' hands, are farmers' introductory skills.

Building a reasonable and scientific performance system for the company is the key to the successful strategy and distribution of human resources managers.

The third is policy.

To do things in China, you should learn to be good at looking at policies and cycles, just as farmers depend on the weather and solar terms when farming.

How about being our human resources manager? In front of us are "incentive system" and "performance system", which not only stimulate employees' kinetic energy, but also measure employees' value creation achievements. Is it necessary to set up a scientific "salary system" to realize the value output and value return of employees?

This is the player.

From the person who does things to the person who runs the bureau, it is actually an upgrade from technology to pattern, and also an upgrade from Tao to heaven. In the final analysis, it is an upgrade of one person's pattern.

So the biggest difference between people is the difference in pattern.

Therefore, we must constantly improve our own pattern, which is the real counterattack of HR career!
