Five fables in the workplace: cicadas and bees

The breeze is blowing gently, the trees are swaying gently, and a cicada is singing loudly in the trees.

A pedestrian got hot after walking and came to rest under the tree. When it's cold, boast, "It's beautiful to hear cicadas like rain." Hearing this in the tree, the cicada felt proud and cried even harder. After a while, the pedestrians under the tree felt very harsh and said, "What a noise!" " So he hit the tree with a stone and flew away in a hurry.

On the way, cicada met a bee who was diligently collecting honey and complained to it, "Why don't people praise me, but get bored?" "That's because the song you sing is good, but it's of little use. Most people still like real results! " The bee said while busy.

At work, if you don't work hard, talk empty words and sing high-profile, you will definitely be unpopular. It's better to be pragmatic at work.

Second, the competition between the fox and the goat.

A fox accidentally fell into the well and couldn't climb up. The thirsty goat passed by the well, saw the fox and asked him if the water in the well was good. The fox rolled his eyes and said, "Well water is very sweet. You might as well come down and share it with me. " The goat believed it, jumped down and choked on the water. Although I don't feel good, I must work with the fox to find a way out of the current predicament.

The fox quietly suggested, "You put your front foot on the wall of the well, and then keep your head straight. I'll jump on your back, honk my horn, climb out of the well and pull you up. In this way, we are all saved. " The goat agreed. However, when the fox jumped out of the well on his back, he ran away at once. Before leaving, he said to the goat, "Don't jump blindly before you see the exit clearly!" " "

In order to save the enterprise, some enterprises with poor operating conditions offer generous conditions to attract elites to join. However, when the enterprise walked out of the predicament, the boss burned his bridges and refused to honor his original promise. The well in the fable is like a troubled enterprise, the fox is like a boss and the goat is a new employee. The goat's experience reminds us that when we change jobs or find jobs, we must find out the details of the company and the boss's real thoughts, so as to leave a good future for ourselves. Otherwise, you may become that unlucky goat.

Third, tigers are lonely.

As the ruler of the forest kingdom, the tiger has suffered almost all the hardships and pains that can be encountered in management. It finally admitted that tigers also have a weak side. How eager it is to enjoy getting along with friends like other animals and get reminders and advice from friends when making mistakes.

It asks the monkey, "Are you my friend?" The monkey grinned and replied, "Of course, I will always be your most loyal friend." "In that case," said the tiger, "why can't I get your advice every time I make a mistake?" The monkey thought for a moment and said carefully, "As your subordinate, I may have a blind worship for you, so I can't see your mistakes." Maybe you should ask the fox. " The tiger went to ask the fox again. The fox rolled his eyes and said, "The monkey is right. You're amazing. Who can see your mistake? "

Like tigers, many executives often feel lonely at the top. Due to the hierarchy in the organizational structure, there is a deep gap between supervisors and subordinates. All the subordinates are eyeing you, because it is easy to point out your mistakes, but you are angry from embarrassment. Aren't they asking for it? What's more, due to different positions, some subordinates will not stop you from making mistakes, but wait to see your jokes! What's more, individual employees may be waiting for the day when you fall. There are three conditions for subordinates to point out the mistakes of supervisors: one is to convince subordinates that they can get benefits; Second, subordinates are brave enough; Third, you have an eye for distinguishing right from wrong and a tolerant mind.

Fourth, monkeys feed.

Six monkeys were kept in three empty houses, two in each room. Each family put a certain amount of food, but the position and height are different. The food in the first room is placed on the ground, and the food in the second room is hung at different heights from easy to difficult. The food in the third room is hung on the roof. A few days later, they found that the monkey in the first room was dead, one was injured, and two monkeys in the third room were dead, but only two monkeys in the second room were alive and well.

It turned out that the two monkeys in the first family saw the food on the ground as soon as they entered the room, so they fought for the easy-to-get food, one dead and one injured. Although the monkey in the third room tried hard, he was starved to death because the food was too high to reach.

Only the two monkeys in the second room jumped up to feed on their own, then ran obliquely in the room to increase the run-up distance and jumped up to feed. Finally, in order to hang the food high, the two monkeys decided that only cooperation could be achieved, so one monkey lifted the other monkey and jumped up for food. In this way, we can get enough food every day and both of us can survive.

This fable shows that the difficulty of the post is too low, everyone can do it, and they can't show their ability and level, so they can't select talents. Instead, it turned into infighting or even killing, and the result was no different from the two monkeys in the first palace. The difficulty of the post is too great, although it is hard, it often fails to reflect the ability and level, and even buries and obliterates talents, just like two monkeys in three rooms; When the post is difficult, step by step, just like the food in Fannie and Freddie, can truly reflect people's ability and level and give play to people's initiative and wisdom.

Five, ant training

A big ant is leading a group of small ants to practice. It found that the actions of small ants are always incorrect, either it is not standard here or it is wrong. Then, the big ant began to be furious: "How did you do it?" ? What a bunch of idiots! "

The little ants all bowed their heads and said nothing, but they all looked angry. At this time, an old ant climbed up and said to the big ant, "Don't lose your temper yet. Do you know why they didn't do it well? " That's because all the actions you show them yourself are wrong! "The big ant bowed his head in shame.
