Chapter 4 Competition

The28Chapter Competition

Internal competition is a complex problem. Moderate competition in the company is a healthy way to maintain a competitive advantage. However, if team members feel they are forced to compete with each other, a problem arises. If you tell the team members that only one person can get a bonus, you can be sure they will not succeed in a good job together!

Consider an analogy

Like managers, parents sometimes have to work hard to solve internal competition problems. Competitors grow up and become enemies.

A manager who lacks time, respect, care, and love for him will cultivate competition within a team. Is this possible? Although this is too simplified, we believe this is a very important core issue.

Same Level Training

If you observe a closely integrated team, you will see that basic healthy peer-level training is always in progress. Team members sit down, form pairs, and exchange knowledge with each other.

Training is impossible if people feel insecure. If this happens, either change it or close your company.

Team Suicide

The following are some management actions that tend to generate suicide side effects on the team:

L Annual salary or performance evaluation

L Target Management

L Award to some employees who have completed their tasks well

L Rewards, bonuses, bonuses, and performance-related

L Measure performance in various forms possible

These are the things that Managers spend so much time or even most of their time doing. In addition, these behaviors may be group suicide.

In addition to these measures, what else can we do?

Dai Ming's point of view is that target management or similar behavior is an escape from management. With simple external incentives to stimulate performance, managers always take responsibility for themselves, such as investment, direct personnel motivation, thoughtful team composition, staff retention, analysis of future work procedures, and design.

Our point of view here is narrow: any reward for team members to varying degrees of behavior may lead to competition. Managers need to take measures to reduce or offset this impact.

All teams can understand that personal success is destined to be linked to overall success. Take care of everyone in the team, or let him leave the team in advance.
