Swan, pike and shrimp

A swan, a pike, and a shrimp were once trying to pull a wagon. The three fellows got on the rope and pulled as hard as they could, but the wagon would not move.The load was not heavy, but the swans shot as hard as they could into the clouds, the shrimps pulled backward, and the pike pulled straight into the water. 

Which one is wrong?What for?There is no need for us to tell you more, but the car is still in the same place. 

When people don't coordinate, they don't perform well, they just mess things up and cause misery.The wisdom of a leader lies in the ability to properly assign work to employees and coordinate their cooperation. 

No matter how powerful the sum of money, machinery, and materials of a corporation may be, they are nothing but a dead mass of fruitless matter without an army of thinking and sober people at their disposal.

The prisoner's dilemma

There is a classic case in game theory, the prisoner's dilemma, which is very interesting.The Prisoner's Dilemma is a story about two prisoners.The two prisoners were caught doing something bad together by the police and interrogated in two separate, incommunicable cells.In this situation, both prisoners can make their own choices: either give up his partner (that is, cooperate with the police and betray his partner), or remain silent (that is, cooperate with his partner instead of the police).Both prisoners knew they would be set free if they kept quiet, because the police could not convict them as long as they refused to confess.But the police knew this too, so they gave the two prisoners a little incentive: if one of them betrayed, by informing on his partner, he could be set free and receive a reward.His accomplice would be sentenced to the most serious crime, and, to increase the punishment, he would be fined as a reward for the informant.Of course, if the two prisoners betray each other, both will be sentenced to the most serious crime, and neither will be rewarded. 

So what were the prisoners to do?Cooperate with each other or betray each other?On the face of it, they should cooperate and keep quiet, because then they both get the best outcome: freedom.But they have to think carefully about what options the other might take.Criminal A was no fool. He immediately realized that he could not trust his accomplice not to give evidence against him to the police, and then walk out with A big reward, leaving him alone in prison.The temptation is too great.But he also realized that his partner was no fool to imagine him the same way.So criminal A came to the conclusion that the only rational choice was to betray his partner and tell the police everything, because if his partner was dumb enough to keep quiet, he would be the lucky one to get out of jail with A prize.And if his accomplice also according to this logic to the police confessed, so, criminal A must serve A sentence anyway, at least he does not have to be fined on top of this.As a result, the two prisoners, by desperate logic, got the worst of all: jail time. 

[Case Analysis]

In the process of dealing with other enterprises, we will inevitably encounter similar dilemma. At this time, we need to have enough understanding and trust with each other. Without the basic trust, we must not rush into cooperation.After having enough trust in each other, sincerity is also essential. If there is no sincerity or too greed, it may cause a bad situation that does not benefit both sides. 

When selecting team members, it's like trying to find people in the same boat in a riptide. Make sure everyone is going in the same direction as you.Which means it's dangerous out there, and you don't want someone who's gonna stab you in the back.

Two birds

Once upon a time, in a forest in some country, there was a two-bird fed.It's called "Life together."The bird's two heads are "dependent on each other".The two heads discuss each other before they can agree on where to find food, where to nest, etc. 

One day, a "head" somehow to another "head" a big misunderstanding, resulting in who also ignore who of the hostile situation. 

One of them, the "head", tried his best to make up and hoped to be as happy as before.The other "head" ignored and did not want to make up. 

Now, the two heads began to argue about food. The good head suggested eating more healthy food to build up his strength.But the other "head" insisted on eating "poisonous grass", so as to poison the other party can eliminate the anger in the heart!The peace talks couldn't go on, so we had to go our separate ways.In the end, the two birds died because they ate too much poisonous food. 

In a company, the relationship between each organization is like a big family, the brothers and sisters in the members should be friendly and united.If what unpleasant things happen, we should be open to solve, should not regard others as "enemies", try every means to be hostile to him.Because everyone works in the same company, when one organization fails, others suffer too. 

Intimacy is an invisible line between the organization, supervisor and employee.With intimacy comes trust, sacrifice and loyalty.

JiChangXue arrow

Ji Chang learned archery from Xiang Fei Wei. Fei Wei did not teach him specific archery skills, but he was required to learn how to keep his eyes fixed on the target without blinking. It took ji Chang two years to practice until he did not blink even when the spine stabbed at the corner of his eye.Fei Wei further asked Ji Chang to practice his eyesight, the standard to achieve small things can be clearly enlarged, as if seen at a close distance.Ji Chang practises hard for three years, finally can regard the smallest lice as wheel same big, Ji Chang zhang opens a bow, easily shoot lice with an arrow.When Fei Wei heard the result, he was very satisfied with his disciple. 

To learn archery, we must first practice our eyesight. When the basic movements are solid, the application can be ever-changing.The operation of enterprises is the same, the basic personnel, finance, technology, business must be well mastered, then the follow-up can be a great success. 

Running a business is like building a tower: if you concentrate on laying bricks and forget to lay solid foundations, one day the tower will fall down.

The nine blind spots of contemporary entrepreneur's strategic thinking

After years of teaching EMBA enterprise management and enterprise strategy consulting, in the practical work with many outstanding entrepreneur and executive plan, slightly, can see thinks, find out some the blind spot of contemporary entrepreneurs strategic thinking, in specific academic research and add validation for severely, and often provide warning for entrepreneurs, popular. 

"You succeed for a reason, you fail for a reason."Li Tingfu, chairman of diyuan Shipping Company, said to me that strategic thinking was of value to entrepreneur function.In the past 20 years it would have been ignorant for an entrepreneur not to focus on business management, and 20 years later it would be incompetent for an entrepreneur to focus only on business management.Thinking determines the way out, and there is no scale without norms. Entrepreneurs who control regulated model enterprises are just like the sea sailing relying on the helmsman, the helmsman depends on the navigator, and the navigator depends on the captain's pointing thinking, so as to ride the wind and waves to reach the other shore.Most entrepreneurs who have developed from policy economy and opportunity market to today are now facing a much more complex enterprise competition environment, and their decision-making mistakes will be the most painful thing they can't afford to lose in their career. The following nine blind spots of strategic thinking of related entrepreneurs are worth the attention and avoidance of enterprise leaders and ambitious people:

Blind spot one: replace strategic thinking with operational thinking

All entrepreneurs, at any stage of their process, must be thinking about four elements: where is the money coming from?(Capital flow quality and speed) where are the goods going?(Market trends and compliance) how to use talent?(Rational allocation of human resources) how to share the benefits?The entrepreneur is intrinsically capable of performing the primary responsibility of capital appreciation.

Throughout the competition in various industries, from the initial stage of the industry to the chaotic "market" to the hero, until the optimization of the industry, the key factor for entrepreneurs to follow the trend is not only the business ability, but also the strategic means of the integration of resources and capabilities inside and outside the industry.Matsushita said: "I am most capable when there are only 10 people in my business;When THERE were 100 people in my business, I worked with them.When I have 1,000 people in my business, I can only stand back and thank them. At the same time, trust comes from responsibility, I will be more responsible to see the future of Panasonic."Entrepreneurs who are addicted to business management can only fight at the business level. In the process of industrial reform and enterprise innovation, entrepreneurs who lack strategic thinking will be passive everywhere, hidden into confusion and fear.

One of my students from founding up to now tens of thousands of yuan companies worth $3, a master of management, but as a result of company system has been unable to determine the property ownership, the current high enthusiasm, the operational manager had to stop pace of expansion of management, to make significant system innovation and property evaluation of turmoil in the enterprise, Twenty years of work went into confusion overnight.Strategic thinking awareness and ability is an important core quality in an entrepreneur's career. It is a worrying misconception that good business equals success.

Blind spot 2: Focus on the market over management

Over the past 20 years the policy of economic transformation period, entrepreneurs in the struggle process, grasp the opportunity to find the market is the visceral qualities of entrepreneurs based on business, now let most entrepreneurs on market, talk about marketing, relationship must be charting, presentation, or even every play market entrepreneurial journey winding is a moving story full of philosophy.As a researcher of business rules, I almost always become a loyal audience of these bosses' stories, tasting and experiencing the success or failure stories of market competition that they truly look back on.But few bosses can tell me with confidence that the biggest success of my multi-billion dollar business over the years is my focus on management.On the contrary, whenever management is mentioned, he will avoid, headache, even complain, or blame his manager for his failure.The early stage of entrepreneurship is to develop the market, the middle stage is to manage the enterprise, and the late stage is to manage the enterprise culture.When I go to any enterprise, as long as there are more than 30 management cadres, I will ask the boss: "The biggest problem of your company's management is bad communication, right?"The boss seldom fails to nod.When the enterprise solves the market viability and does not go back to re-arrange its internal management control process, the operation of the enterprise will inevitably collapse due to internal imbalance.

An agent of aido company once told me that his factory sent three carloads of goods to him, and one of them was an advertising leaflet. When the advertising leaflet arrived at hangzhou freight station, the agent directly looked for a recycler to buy it as waste.Can such use advertising cost not let a company fall!Corporate profits are derived from sales minus costs. An enterprise without awareness of cost monitoring and management is the beginning of disaster.Matsushita corporation still requires every employee to write on both sides of the paper. How far can entrepreneurs go before they get rich?

Blind spot 3: Entrepreneurs lack an effective summary of their own entrepreneurial experience

An entrepreneur in the middle of the development of all decision-making habits are mostly formed by good habits, and these good habits are tempered by the initial stage of the business.Therefore, I never agree that failure is the mother of success, but advocate that success is the mother of success.The person who is climbing the mountain will consult the person who is rolling down the mountain how to climb the mountain has much success.Read MBA or self-study business management management knowledge, entrepreneurs can not be complacent, frustrated deformation, but not to deny their own.Bow to need courage, the rise of the need for confidence, the struggle of entrepreneurs is necessary to do a rational inventory of their own industry process, the past success and loss of experience summed up to help entrepreneurs to develop innovation.

Any fruit in the world is bitter before it is ripe.When successful entrepreneurs think in a normal way, they find that entrepreneurship is hard, memory is sweet and yearning is moving.

Blind spot 4: Ignoring talent and knowledge management

"A World without Thieves" in the thief head uncle Li famous: "Do you know what the most expensive 21st century is?- Talent!"Talent can jump, but the boss can only jump off a building.The enterprise has no talent, there is no enterprise future.Most small and medium-sized enterprises are smart boss with a group of subordinates who are often called as donkeys by him, the strong general is weak soldier, this "horse and donkey culture" characteristics of the enterprise is difficult to go far, because the boss lack of selection standards, there is no way to retain talent, there is no awareness of talent planning, of course, the lack of talent is the pain in the heart.Excellent entrepreneurs will make mediocre talent, inferior entrepreneurs will make talent mediocre, why?Mechanism is more important than talent!Without a mechanism to manage human resources, Kong Ming would not have been able to devote himself to liu Bei, the boss.

Zhongshan a Taiwanese told me that most people have an attachment to a sense of belonging, he asked that managers must have work diary every day, has not happened "" there is no record, his monthly salary to supervisor must check the subordinate work diary, managers must resign leave work diary, under a new manager must be read in the business process of the manager.This call talent can go, leave the knowledge, the boss will not leave for the people sad, will only stay for the people blessing!Method is more important than knowledge, enterprises can control fixed assets, management talent ideas can not be so simple to ignore.

Blind Spot # 5: Inability to move from strategic issues to strategic thinking

There was once a captain of a shipping company who was guiding the crew to maintain engine room equipment at sea, but one key screw was not turned three times, which caused the engine room of oil seepage to burst and caused a direct loss of 3 million yuan after emergency repair.Failure is in the details, success is in the system.Chinese people have long had the habit of praising heroes who put out fires and neglecting those who put them out.Strategic problems refer to the way of thinking that enterprises reflect only when they are unable to move and make mistakes or face a major crisis. It is painful to grow up in the review.Strategic thinking is a system theory of the ability to master, entrepreneurs must be on the enterprise trend layout of all kinds of changes in the forecast, do the best plan, the greatest effort, the worst plan, everything in advance will be successful, failure.If xiang Yu could regenerate, he would agree.

Blind Spot 6: Inability to move from individual wisdom to team wisdom

"The decision making in our company is very cheap and primitive."As one manager of a large company told me, "The rule of corporate decision-making is that the boss beats the head, the top beats the chest, and the manager beats the bottom."This kind of "three clap decision" in the early simple economic market can become rich overnight, in the current era of knowledge economy, such a dry is not bankrupt overnight.With the expansion of scale, the responsibility of enterprises will shift from the entrepreneur's individual capacity and energy to the senior management to share the risks and ultimately share the results.There is no perfect individual in the world, only perfect team.Bill."We at Microsoft fight in groups," Gates said.A good dog is better than a pack of wolves. The future of an enterprise depends on its current team first.Tips for entrepreneurs: after the scale of the enterprise, individual decisions will be replaced by the team, everyone carries a heavy burden, everyone has indicators, so that the enterprise will not let go of a talent, at the same time will not leave a mediocre.

Blind Spot # 7: Lack of a corporate culture configured to achieve strategic goals

From the agricultural society, China's economic society has not yet completed the process of industrialization, so what is the functional value of corporate culture to enterprises in the process of industrialization?How deep is the impact?When does it work?This new thing, transplanted from the West, has often been misinterpreted in the last decade or so, turning corporate culture into boss culture and corporate plaster.Corporate strategy is about where the business is going, and corporate culture is about who the entrepreneur is going to bring there.Just as Chairman MAO Zedong said, "Any army fights any battle. An army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy."Enterprise culture is not the enterprise text, casually write "unity, pragmatic, dedication" these words on behalf of the enterprise culture.Twenty years of "Haier, sincere to forever" is actually a corporate commitment culture, all the behaviors of the enterprise from the bottom of their bones must be words to achieve their promises with actions.The market is cruel, and the competition between enterprises is ultimately cultural competition, with product than quality, with quality than brand, with brand than culture.It is necessary to consider enterprise culture as an important strategic content for the entrepreneurs who have basic evergreen and unfulfilled dreams.Take a person to go only a wish, take a group of people to go depends on interests, take a strong business team to set out, without a firm idea of inspiration and cultural model will be difficult to move forward.

Blind Spot # 8: Focusing on strategy but not strategy

Strategy and tactics have already had a strong thinking structure in the operation and planning of entrepreneurs. With the in-depth influence of western management, orientation and action are a key mature mark in the evolution of enterprise career.But there is no way to act, and how to do it is not appreciated.The execution after strategic selection requires decision to decompose strategic intention and form execution method, which is the process of strategic selection.Entrepreneurs hate flunky executives who blindly execute, and fear subordinates who execute without understanding the boss's intentions.

A monk with a crooked mouth recites the wrong sutras. A monk with a crooked mouth roams about all his life.Strategic decision-making of entrepreneurs is an art with investment as the core of thinking, because enterprises are profit-oriented, and strategy is to choose the best means to achieve strategic goals, and pay attention to technology.When executives are not yet ready to let entrepreneurs sleep or play golf, the focus on strategy is a sensible focus.

Blind spot nine: lack of systematic long-term planning for corporate reputation planning

To be a man has a reputation through the ages and a bad reputation.A tiger leaves its skin, a man its name.Entrepreneurs should have a positive self-shaping awareness and planning ability for their personal reputation and corporate integrity.Reputation is the most expensive intangible asset.The chairman of "China famous brand" Jinzheng Group was put in prison for 15 years, the whole company was dissolved overnight, and the "golden apple" rotted away.Skyworth chairman of the accident, the company launched a crisis public relations rescue its social reputation.Wang Shi climbed The Everest Vanke stock up a few points.The essence of a market economy society is a reputation society. Entrepreneurs mostly rely on entity entrepreneurship to create an enterprise kingdom. Ultimately, how to make employees and the society recognize their reputation and plan and effectively spread it is an important topic for the realization of personal career and corporate strategic goals.

In the Yangtze river the waves behind push on those in front, and those in front die on the sand.A student asked Wang Yung-ching, Taiwan's richest man in a speech at national Taiwan University, "Can you tell me whether it is hard work or luck that matters in your life?"Wang Yung-ching answer: "I am responsible to tell you, young man, I use a lifetime of diligence is to prove that my luck is better than others!"

The competition of knowledge age is the competition of learning ability, who stops learning will lose the future, the attitude of learning determines the speed of progress.Strategic thinking is an important quality for entrepreneurs. If you don't think about the future today, you will live in the past.The goal decides to act, the mind decides to farsighted, has the action only then has the status, and has not paid attention to the process is difficult to have the good result.

An entrepreneur's career and mission is to go out with a purpose and come back with results.Then, entrepreneurs with strategic thinking ability will use three ways to test whether their results are valuable: do not do things without goals, do not do things without plans, do not do things without benefits.An outstanding American entrepreneur said that the highest level of the entrepreneur's career is: continuous exploration, and eventually create a business without me.Bless you, entrepreneurs on the way to success, with wisdom all the way well!
