Managers should manage their subordinates through goals. Therefore, the mission and task of the enterprise must be transformed into specific goals. With a clear goal, every department and everyone can have the direction and motivation to work hard, and the enthusiasm of employees can be mobilized. This is the so-called "lighthouse" effect.

3. People-oriented management

The essence of people-oriented management is that the primary management of enterprise organizations is the management of people. People are equal, not slaves or machines dominated by money and bosses, but there are differences in energy levels and needs. Therefore, enterprise organizations need to pay attention to people's different abilities and needs, and mobilize the enthusiasm of employees through profit sharing, training, communication, trust and respect, so as to achieve the organization's business objectives.
