You may be familiar with the story of a monk serving water while two monks carrying water. This is a typical case of Team Cooperation failure, here is a story about how the three monks have successfully worked together.
It is said that there are three temples on a hill, which are located at the top of the hill, the waist, the foot of the hill, and the only well on the hill at half a mountainside. How can the monk on the hill solve the problem of drinking water?
1) Top monk practices
Problem: Because the temple on the top of the hill is on the top of the hill and the steep path is long, the three monks picked up a bucket full of water and returned to the temple. Due to the bumpy journey, there may be only half of water in the temple, if you want to fill a tank of water, it will be very tired.
Solution 1: Relay Method
Each monk is responsible for 1/3 of the journey, and every 1/3 of the journey, there will be another monk relay, which reduces the burden on each monk, and they have scheduled a duty schedule, you can choose 1/3 of the journey in turn, in this way, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road of water pick.
Solution 2: Water pick system for two persons
Solution 2 is actually the simplified version of solution 1. solution 1 solved the problem of water-picking and Monk fatigue in the early stage. However, after a while, it will find that the water-picking process will be lonely, because it is not human-friendly, we proposed
People work with the water pick solution, and change every other time on the road. The two monks can talk and laugh on the road, which is both easy and can learn from each other in the process of water pick, and explore profound Buddhist principles.
The monks manage these two methods as "mechanism innovation", which not only solves the problem of drinking water, but also finds a learning partner, which has benefited a lot.
2) Mountain waist monk practices
Problem: water wells are just half a hill, so it is very easy to pick up water, but it is because it is too convenient for the three monks to learn to be lazy, always thinking about themselves to do less, so the water in the cylinder has never been full.
Solution: Develop a rewards and punishments system in the contract
Everyone is responsible for the task of three cylinders. Each of the three has one cylinder. If anyone has the most water cylinder every day, they can add a dish for dinner. If the water in the cylinder is the least, they can only eat white rice without food, if the three cylinders are full, you can win the right to eat a kitchen because of your outstanding work.
Well, with this system, the three monks are desperately trying to pick water. Naturally, everyone's cylinder is full. If one of them is ill or has something to do, other experts will also take the initiative to help pick the tank of water, the three cylinder will always be full, the three monks will often suffer from the right to eat a small stove.
The monks call this method "Management Innovation ".
3) mountain-foot monk practices:
Problem: Because the mountain foot monk is also far away from the well, and the road is steep, it is also very tired to pick water on the mountainside every day.
Solution 1: Water Diversion
Due to the low flow of water, the three monks dug a channel for water diversion. They worked for seven, seven, four, and nine days all night. When the water was approaching the temple, new problems emerged, A very large rock was found to block the water flow.
Unable to introduce the temple, and because of the passage of water in the channel, the water flow has dried up, the three monks are exhausted, annoyed and abnormal, so hard to do so for a long time, to finally know the wrong line selection, is
Why is it not necessary to explore the routes in advance? It is too tired to dig the channels.
Solution 2: Water Diversion
After the setbacks in solution 1, the monks thought carefully and thought that there were a lot of rough bamboo on the hill. They could use these bamboo to bring water down, and made a detailed line exploration, and
After carefully measuring the work progress, we made a detailed plan, instead of working day and night in the past. People work day and day, and complete the work according to the progress every day, because the mountain changes are unpredictable, may encounter a lot of hillstone
Barrier, the monks plan to build a water pool in a few blocks around the road to store water, bring water down the hill, cut out the right bamboo, empty the bamboo festival, and lay out the bamboo road water diversion project, from then on, water can be continuously introduced into the temple,
You no longer need to pick water.
This method is called technical innovation ".
You may encounter problems similar to those of the three monks in your work and life. Do not use the mechanisms, management, or technical innovation mentioned here to think about solutions.
