Philosophical viewpoint contained in barrel effect

The amount of water in the bucket does not depend on the tallest piece of wood on the bucket wall, but on the shortest piece on the bucket wall. According to this core content, the "bucket theory" has two inferences: first, the bucket can only be filled with water if the wooden boards on the bucket wall are high enough. Secondly, as long as one piece in this bucket is not high enough, the water in the bucket will not be full.

How much water a bucket can hold depends not on the longest board, but on the shortest board. It can also be called short board effect. Any organization may face the same problem, that is, all parts of the organization are often uneven, and inferior parts often determine the level of the whole organization. Therefore, the whole society, each of us should think about our own "shortcomings" and make up for them as soon as possible.

Extended data:

The application of Konikin's law can improve the management level, scientific research level and team building of enterprises. As long as it is to improve the overall level, we need to do the following.

1, short board. The height of the shortest board determines the amount of water. Only by raising it high can the bucket be filled with water.

2. Eliminate the gap. If there is a gap between the boards of a barrel, water will flow through the gap even if the boards are higher.

3. Tighten the iron hoop. The barrel can hold water because there are iron hoops to tighten the neatly arranged boards. If there is no hoop, the board can only be a scattered individual, and the overall efficiency cannot be exerted.

4. Strong "hands". Whether a wooden bucket filled with water can play a role depends on whether it has a durable "handle". This "hand in hand" is like a collective leader.

5. A solid foundation. Whether a bucket can be filled with water ultimately depends on whether there is a solid bucket bottom. The bottom of the bucket can't be broken, and there can't be holes.
