A tale of 1 lion and 10 wolves: 4 management tips to teach you how to be a competent manager
There is such a story, the lion asked the leopard to manage 10 wolves.
The leopard divided the meat into 11 equal parts, one for himself, and the rest for the wolf. But each wolf felt that he had less points, so they united and sang against the leopard.
The leopard was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do. In the end, only the lion could be found to resign and quit.
After the lion knew about it, he took over the job of dividing the meat, and used four methods to obey the management of the wolf pack, daring not to resist in the slightest.
In our human society, leopards are like middle management, while lions play the role of senior leaders and know how to manage.
Next, let's take a look at the 4 management secrets used by Lions to teach you how to become a qualified manager:
- Performance Pay
first day
The lion divided the meat into 11 pieces of different sizes, took the largest piece of meat by himself, and let the 10 wolves divide the remaining 10 pieces of meat.
In order to get the biggest piece of meat, each wolf is scrambling for each other, and it is hard to fight, even the most basic piece of meat is not taken into account.
The leopard looked puzzled, and the lion explained to him: This is the performance-based salary system.
In the workplace of human society, the performance system is an excellent means of managing employees. The more you work, the more you get, whoever pays will create high benefits for the company, and whoever is more capable will get the most benefits.
It can not only mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, but also form a good working atmosphere that competes with each other.
Second, the last elimination method
the next day
The lion divided the meat into 11 pieces, took the largest 2 pieces of meat by himself, and let the 10 wolves divide the remaining 9 pieces of meat.
In order to compete for rations, the wolves began to fight wildly, one bite of meat and one bite of their former companions. Because there are only 9 pieces of meat, a wolf is destined to be hungry.
In the end, there was a bruised wolf lying in the corner, dying.
The lion said to the leopard: This is the last elimination method.
Nowadays, many super giant companies adopt the last-place elimination system, such as conducting an assessment every quarter. The person who ranks last in performance three times in a row will be eliminated.
Such a management system can not only put pressure on employees, but also force out their potential and allow them to work actively. And it can also effectively help the company to clean up people who mess around and maintain a good working atmosphere.
- Competition for jobs
day three
The lion divided the meat into two parts, took one part for himself, and let the 10 wolves divide the remaining part.
In the end, the strongest wolf was born and defeated all the wolves and got the food. After it has eaten, the other wolves can eat his leftovers.
As a result, the other 9 wolves have become its little brothers, and they are obedient and in awe.
From then on, the lion only needs to manage one wolf, and no other things need to worry about.
The leopard admired it very much, and the lion explained to it: Have you heard of competition?
In human society, enterprise management is to adopt a hierarchical system, and the position of management is reserved for those who can. Whoever has the strongest ability will get the most benefits.
Of course, in this one, competition is inevitable. You must be outstanding enough and try your best to defeat all the opponents around you in order to stand at a high position.
- Corporate Culture
fourth day
The lion took up all the meat, and the wolves had to eat grass.
The wolves are powerless to fight, so they can only resign and obey the lion's management.
The leopard looked dumbfounded, and the lion explained: Have you heard of corporate culture?
In real life, corporate culture is an integral part of a company. Whether it is a large company or a small company, each has its own distinctive corporate culture.
It is also the spiritual management of employees. To put it well, it is called a blueprint for dreams, and to put it badly, it is called a cake.
Employees may hate being bossed around, but it's an essential element of running a company.
