Companies don't need "good people"

In the initial stage of the company, the strategy is to focus on production and operation and weaken management, only focus on the work related to orders, when necessary, the whole company's efforts to ensure orders, regardless of the cost. As the company's development speed gradually tends to be stable, the importance of management becomes more and more prominent. We often find that the company's executive ability needs to be improved, the company's various processes need to be further optimized, and the company's work efficiency and operating skills are still relatively low. These problems have seriously restricted the company's development, As time goes by, it even forms a strange circle that managers dare not manage people.

Managers dare not manage people and act as "good people", which is extremely terrible. What exactly does a good man look like? First of all, we can draw a picture of the "good man": first, we are afraid that adhering to the principle will offend the boss and affect our promotion and salary increase; Second, they are afraid of offending the heads of various departments, being alienated and isolated, and hurting their harmony; Third, they are afraid of offending their subordinates, influencing their popularity and not supporting themselves. In promoting the work of the Department, the old people like to avoid the heavy and take the light of the existing problems, turn a blind eye to the bad phenomena, know that it is wrong, but still protect the subordinates. I always like to be wise and self-protection, do not talk about principles, lack of integrity. In his opinion, the best way to deal with the world is to do it without offending anyone.

The harm of the "good man" is stronger than that of the tiger, and its great harm lies in its concealment. It is like throwing a cigarette butt into a cotton pile. It will not burn immediately, but will slowly increase the area of the dark fire, and once the wind blows, it will become an open fire that is difficult to put out“ The "good man" is hidden among us. When we ask him to implement the system, he will have a lot of thunder, little rain, and even no rain; Let him bear the responsibility, he will be very clever to take the credit on himself, the fault on others; When he is asked to solve the problem, he exaggerates the difficulties. When he solves the problem, he seems to have made a great contribution. Once he can't solve the problem, "it's not the incompetence of the party and the state, but the strength of the Communist army." anyway, it's not my business; When he sees that someone is harming the interests of the company, he will not stop it, but take a detour. The company's affairs have nothing to do with him, and he will not offend this person; When he sees his colleagues make mistakes, he doesn't stop them and help them improve, he just panders to them.

Let's take a simple example: banning fireworks is a clear regulation of the company. Winning this tough battle requires the participation of all staff, especially the participation of all managers. Under the active supervision of everyone, smokers will not escape the attention of dozens of managers. However, in the old man's mind, the work of banning smoking has become a "lone battle" of the administrative department, so a simple work has become a difficult problem to solve.

Once "good people" appear in the management team, it will form an extremely dangerous enterprise atmosphere. This kind of atmosphere will make the whole enterprise lose the positive fighting spirit, can't shoulder the sacred responsibility given by the company, will make the management become pale and powerless, and fall into the strange circle of "not dare to punish for violations, not dare to say for mistakes". As a manager, we must have the courage to take responsibility. To be a "good man" is to shirk responsibility. If we are not qualified managers, we will be eliminated by the company sooner or later. The company needs good people, who are full of righteousness and have the courage to take responsibility, but the company never needs "good people"! It is hoped that all managers should put the company's interests in the first place and take it as the basic principle of their work. We are required to "think twice a day" according to our own behavior, and if we have something to do, we should change it and if we have nothing to do, we should encourage them.

As the general manager, I solemnly promise to all Tianfu people: I will never be a "good man", and I will never give the "good man" promotion and reuse opportunities. Also hope that all managers can show their commitment - never be a "good man"!
