The so-called 'lazy horse effect' in the workplace

thumbnail

I read a story before. It was said that two horses were pulling the cart in parallel. One of the horses was working hard, while the other horse was slow and did not work hard. The owner saw it and moved most of the goods to the place. The hard-working horse got on the carriage, and the lazy horse followed slowly, and mocked the hard-working horse for "doing the same thing". However, it didn't take long for the lazy horse to be sold by the owner because the owner saw a One horse can also achieve the effect of two horses. It is a waste to raise one more horse. It is better to sell it for money. From this story we can see the following:

  1. The company does not raise idlers, and the team does not raise idlers. The essence of the workplace is the exchange of interests. If you cannot create value for the unit, it is not far from being killed. What a lazy person sees is that the boss is desperately trying to drive the fast horse, so the "fast horse and whip" does not reduce the benefits, so he secretly laughs and laughs at the hard work, but the boss has already seen the value of whose Bigger, who has no value, the ending is already doomed. There are many old fried dough sticks in the workplace. For various reasons, they are lazy and work less, and they often shirk their responsibilities. Not only can such people fail to create value for the boss, but they may also dig holes and let the boss take the blame and be killed.

  2. The body and mind should be synchronized. As a working person, good work ability comes from the mind and body, and the body is the foundation. As the saying goes, a good body is the capital of revolution, and only with a good body can we have a strong executive power. Just like the two horses at the beginning, the mind and the body must be synchronized in order to create benefits and value for the company. If one of them falls behind, the value may be discounted. If both fall behind, it is dangerous, especially the mind, because the head commands The body and body can be repaired. Once the mind slips, it cannot be recovered with time.

  3. If you want a horse to run, you have to feed the horse. Whipping fast horses is a common phenomenon in the workplace, but if you want fast horses to continue to create value, you must achieve the point of "more work, more rewards", and make a full article on the distribution of interests and power, not just saying" Those who are capable work harder." This is hooliganism. A smart manager knows how to build a benchmark for a unit, set a model, and let everyone learn from the "quick horse", so as to achieve a win-win effect for both workers and the company.
