Good managers know how to organize

A man who knows how to organize and lead a think tank with expertise in getting rich is as knowledgeable as any member of the group.

——Think and Grow Rich

Iron King Andrew?Carnegie started from scratch with neither capital nor steel professional knowledge and technology, but became a world-famous steel giant. This is full of magic, which puzzles many people.

A reporter managed to get Carnegie to be interviewed. He couldn't wait to ask: "Your achievements in the steel industry are recognized. You must be the greatest steel-making expert in the world?"

Carnegie laughed and replied: "Mr. Reporter, you are wrong. There are more than 200 people in our company alone who are more knowledgeable about steelmaking than me!"

The reporter was surprised: "Then why are you a steel king? What special skills do you have?"

Carnegie said: "I know how to encourage them, make them play their best, and work for the company."

Indeed, the steel industry founded by Carnegie has grown by means of a set of measures that effectively exploit the strengths of its employees.Carnegie's steel plant was not profitable due to the low output. Carnegie decisively hired Charlie Swaber as the president of the steel plant with an annual salary of 100 million US dollars.

After Swaber took office, he encouraged day and night shift workers to compete in production. The factory's production situation improved rapidly, and the output increased greatly. Since then, Carnegie has gradually embarked on the throne of steel magnate.

It can be seen that Carnegie is very clever.If he claims to be the greatest steel-making expert, at least some experts of the same level will refuse to work for him. Even management experts like Swaber will not be valued and used by him, and people Nor would I admire Carnegie so much.

People have never really thought deeply about what leadership means in the past. The boss is the boss and he rules everything.

We only hear about "well-managed companies" but not "well-led companies," and that probably refers to a kind of militarized management.Orders are all passed from the higher level to the grassroots departments.

If there is any company that is not militarized, it has no management at all.At that time, the company relied on some advantages in the market to follow the old ways for several years without encountering any challenges.The people above are still the same old saying: "There is no problem, why change him?"

The management class sitting in the office manages as best they know how.People also only expect them to do one thing, which is to "manage".Maybe they've shifted the direction of the organization a few degrees to the left or right - usually they're just tackling the obvious issues, and that's the job done.

Given the simple environment at that time, there was no problem with this so-called management, and of course there was no vision or ideal, but it was still passable in the days when the changes were unchanging.

Unfortunately, pure management no longer works.Because the world is changing too fast and becoming more and more unpredictable, this rigid method is definitely not enough to deal with it.What is needed now is much deeper than the management style of the past, and that is leadership.Leadership is helping others to accomplish what they are capable of, creating a vision for the future, encouraging and teaching others, and building and maintaining successful relationships.
