Program management can take care of ninety-nine percent of the problems, and it is the leader's job to make sure that that remaining, potentially decisive one percent doesn't get bogged down in mundanity. --Roger Falk

A popular Haier saying goes, "The only way to keep a drop of water from drying up is to put it in the ocean." The only way for China's excellent management culture and thinking to flourish is to integrate it into the world's culture and management thinking.

Management practice: Used to discard the dregs of traditional management thinking, and seriously study the ideas of modern business management, only to be able to long ago the real world-class entrepreneurs. In fact, there are already a number of entrepreneurs in China who have opened their eyes to the world. In the future, China will certainly appear world-class enterprises and world-class entrepreneurs, but this will never be those who hold on to the past.

Real communication requires long periods of time where you look at me and I look at you. This means more listening and less talking. It means that human beings ultimately understand and accept things through a process of constant interaction aimed at reaching ****ing understanding. -- Jack Welch

Barriers to communication within an organization and their elimination received by the influencing factors:

(1) Cultural barriers to communication. The level of culture within an organization is relatively close to each other, the communication of information is easy to carry out.

(2) Communication barriers in terms of organizational structure. Specifically include role status barriers, spatial distance barriers, communication network barriers.

(3) Psychological barriers and elimination. Cognitive barriers (too high evaluation of their own or too low evaluation of their own), emotional barriers (emotional reaction is too strong or too cold), trust barriers (between people, especially between managers and deployment of cordial relations, mutual trust, the two sides will be easy to communicate), attitudinal barriers (the two sides of the exchange of attitudes are different, which can easily lead to barriers to communication), personality barriers (the exchange of information to a large extent by the character traits of the constraints). (constrained by personality traits to a large extent).

Management practice: Now the management process of the enterprise, has a preliminary tendency to the process of communication. Communication is the exchange of views and opinions, is the intersection of the heart and mind, is the spirit and the spirit of the mingling, is the harmony of the enterprise towards the success of the important end point. If we have not paid attention to this point, and never pay attention to the importance of communication, then we will be in the closure of the self-perpetuation. Therefore, we should attribute our work to practice rather than fantasy.

No decision is made until there is a difference of opinion. --Alfred Sloan

What does it mean to "preconceive"?

What do you mean by "preconceived"? It means that you don't take into account the actual situation, but you bring in your own original thinking, and you look at everything from your own point of view, and you don't accept other people's rationalized opinions.

No matter how strong their own feelings, no matter how sure they are that the other's point of view is untenable, a manager who wants to make the right thinking must be forced to understand the different opinions, because different opinions is the necessary tool for him to push a variety of alternatives. With this tool, the manager can make sure that all major aspects of an issue have been carefully considered.

Then between the two Zhao Dong the best combination point, from the combination point to start, the enterprise will be successful.

You can't have egalitarianism. Egalitarianism penalizes good performance and encourages poor performance, and all you get is a consistently bad workforce.

The first step in the process is to make sure that you have the best possible results. The law of two or eight: 20% of the people occupy 80% of the wealth, indicating that running a business should not be all-encompassing, to grasp the key people, key links, key positions and key projects. At the same time, business managers should put the main orientation and the main energy on the 20% of the minority to drive 80% of the majority, in order to improve the efficiency of the enterprise.

? The revelation of the law of two or eight:

(1) Management should have a global perspective. Both to control the overall 20%, but also to understand the overall 80%.

(2) Human resource strategy. Often 20% of the people to complete 80% of the work tasks, so to ensure a stable human resources structure.

(3) Marketing strategy. Should focus on 20% of the core technology and products that can bring high profits.

The current social change is not a technological revolution, nor software, speed revolution, but a revolution in the concept and way of thinking. --Peter Dulac

Management practices : a new era, new changes, new opportunities. Management mode should be reformed and developed, but more innovative. Improvement of the management model lies in the scientific and correct management of the work, is not to change the nature of the enterprise, not to change the efficiency of the enterprise, not to change the purpose of the enterprise on the basis of the realization of its innovation.

The equal treatment of employees is a manifestation of unfairness, any organization within the managers must be affiliated with the staff to understand the heart, the implementation of differentiated management, the maximum degree of play to the staff's ability, so as to bring the greatest benefit to the enterprise. --Harold Kuntz

Egalitarianism is the greatest injustice.

? Society never stops changing, the times never stop progressing.

Management practice: In business management, there is no right forever, nor is there a myth forever; there is no mistake forever, nor is there a sinner forever. Yesterday's "heresy" may be today's truth, and yesterday's "truth" may be today's error. Perhaps you have missed, perhaps your mistakes have not happened, but you must believe that in the management process, there is no mistake, the key is wrong can be corrected in time.

As long as there is a problem, there is hope for survival; as long as you dare to face the problem, solve the problem, you can move forward. --Peter Dulac

Management practice: a manager who can not let go, will be drowned by the big and small things, sales can not get up, the tax came to check the accounts, subordinates to jump to ...... a bunch of things to get people dizzy.

In this way, simplicity will produce efficiency, management can be simple and efficient.

? Fewer but better has two meanings, one is to use a small number of competent people, but the more important meaning is that because there are fewer people, people are more likely to become competent. -- Toshio Shimitsu
