Art of leadership-eight management laws
Parkinson's LawMongogood-Parkinson, a famous American historian, wrote a book called Parkinson's Law through a long-term investigation. In this book, he elaborated on the causes and consequences of institutional staff expansion: an incompetent official may have three ways out. The first is to apply for a resignation and give the role to competent persons; the second is to allow a competent person to assist himself in his work; and the third is to appoint two persons with lower levels as assistants than himself. This first road will never go, because it will lose a lot of power; the second road will not go, because the competent person will become his opponent; it seems that only the third path is the most suitable. As a result, two mediocre assistants shared his work, and he gave orders on his own. The two assistants are both incompetent and ineffective, so they can find two incompetent assistants for themselves. And so on, we have formed a leader system with a bloated organization, a float, a wrapper, and a low efficiency.

Chen hina's LawThere is a well-known theory in Western management: if the actual number of managers is twice as long as the optimal number of people, the work time will be twice, and the work cost will be four times more; if the actual management staff is three times more than the optimal number of people, the work time will be three times more, and the work cost will be six times more. This law tells us that in terms of management, there is not much human power. The more management personnel, the higher the work efficiency. This law requires us to carefully study and find the optimal number of people to minimize work time and reduce work costs.　

EffectWhen Lincoln was a teenager, his brother plow corn in a farm in his hometown of Kentucky. Lincoln was a horse, and his brother helped the plow, and the horse was very lazy, so it went around and stopped. However, for a while, the horse went fast. Lincoln was surprised. When he got to the ground, he found a very large fly on the horse, and he knocked it down. When he saw the horse fly was knocked down, his brother complained, "Oh, why did you drop it? It was the guy who ran the horse !" There are no horse fly bites, the horse is steaming, and the STOP and stop; there are horse fly bites, the horse does not dare to neglect, and runs fast. This is the effect of flies. The Inspiration of the effect of the flies is that only when a person is bitten and bit, can he not relax and work hard and make continuous progress.　　

"Nanfeng" LawThe "South Wind" rule, also known as "warmth", originates from a fable written by French writer la fengdan: the power of the north wind and the south wind, to see who can take off the coat of pedestrians. The North Wind first came to a cold and biting cold, with the intention to shave off the coat. As a result, pedestrians wrapped the coat tightly to resist the invasion of the north wind. Nanfeng was excited, and suddenly the wind and the sun, because the pedestrians feel that the spring warm upper body, the first button, and then take off the coat, Nanfeng won the victory. This fable vividly illustrates the truth: warmth is better than cold. When a leader applies the "Nanfeng" rule in management, he must respect and care about his/her subordinates. The following is the root of his/her nature and focus on "Human Touch" and try his/her best to solve the actual difficulties in his/her daily life, this allows subordinates to truly feel the warmth given by the leaders and stimulate their work enthusiasm.

Alcohol and sewage LawThe law of wine and sewage means that if you pour a spoonful of wine into a bucket of sewage, you get a bucket of sewage; if you pour a spoonful of sewage into a bucket, you still get a bucket of sewage. There are several difficult people in any organization. They seem to exist to make things worse. Worst of all, they are like rotten apples in a fruit box. If you don't handle them in time, they will spread quickly, and other apples in the fruit box will also be ruined. What's terrible about rotten apple is its amazing destructive power. An upright and competent person may be swallowed up into a chaotic department, and an untrustworthy person can quickly turn an efficient Department into a sandbox. A craftsman who has made ceramics over time can destroy it in a second.

Zero-sum game principlesZero-sum games mean that in a game, players win or lose, and one party wins and the other party loses. The total score of the game is always zero. Zero-sum games are widely used because people discover similar situations in all aspects of society. The glory of the winner often hides the bitterness and bitterness of the losers; however, in the 20th century, after two world wars, rapid economic growth, technological progress, global integration, and increasingly serious environmental pollution, the zero-sum game concept is gradually replaced by the "win-win" concept. People begin to realize that "self-interest" does not have to be based on "harm to people. Through effective cooperation, a happy ending is possible.

Watch TheoremThe watch theorem means that when a person has a watch, he can know what time it is, but when he has two tables at the same time, he cannot determine the time. The two watches do not tell a person more accurate time. Instead, they will lose confidence in accurate time. The watch Theorem gives us a very intuitive inspiration in terms of enterprise management, that is, the management of the same person or the same organization cannot adopt two different methods at the same time, you cannot set two different targets at the same time, or even each individual cannot be directed by two people at the same time. Otherwise, the enterprise or individual may be at a loss.

Invalid LawThe most intuitive expression of the Law of not worth is that what is not worth doing well. This law seems simple, but its importance is often overlooked. The law of not worth reflects people's psychology. If a person is engaged in something he thinks is not worth doing, he will always maintain a perfunctory attitude, not only with a low success rate, even if you succeed, you will not feel much fulfilled. Therefore, enterprise leaders should rationally allocate their work, for example, to allow employees with strong achievements to take the lead or take the lead to complete the work with certain risks and difficulties, and to acknowledge and praise them when the work is completed; enable more affiliated employees to participate in the joint work of a certain group; enable those with higher power to take charge of the work that suits their abilities.
