Chapter V types and purposes of carrots

1. Stories about rabbits and carrots
Types and uses of carrots
If you do not appreciate small achievements, you will not be able to stand out;
If you don't have enough complaints, you will have.
-Chapter 6 of Sushu
After Liu Bei became the general manager, he quickly calmed down the noise inside and outside the company by using the shy method. Every employee was shy to answer when he saw him, so that he had a pleasant taste. Liu Bei knew that from the medical point of view, it is only a way to make employees shy. Exercise therapy is required for the company to obtain healthy muscles. In other words, it is necessary to encourage employees to work actively.
People who have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms know that Liu Bei is the creator of one of the three major group companies in China because he is good at encouragement. In terms of human resource management, he has set up an invincible shining image of the benevolent. However, during the long time, we wanted to say that we were so confused that our young Liu was keeping himself in the office and began to think hard for effective employee incentives.
He knocked on the door and asked, "Liu Zong, have you signed the employee compensation report for this month ?"
Liu Bei asked him to sit down and discuss with him: "I want to pay more than 500 yuan for Chen Deng. Do you think it is appropriate ?"
"Why ?"
Liu Bei said: "There are some reasons, but it is hard to explain ."
"Do you think Chen Deng has helped you a lot and you need to thank me ?"
Liu Bei nodded.
"In this case, I think your gratitude is for your private interest and cannot be used to send this bonus on behalf of the company ."
Liu Bei was a little unhappy and said, "Do I have no power to send bonuses? As the saying goes: 'The army has no wealth, and the army has no rewards, and the army has no respect. 'As a general manager, who will work for the company if he cannot give favor ?"
"As a general manager, you should reward employees, but you cannot do anything you like. I will tell you a story about rabbits and carrots. You can understand the truth ."
1. Difficulties encountered by the rabbit king
Nanshan Po has a group of rabbits. Under the careful management of the blue-eyed rabbit king, the rabbits enjoy themselves well. However, in the recent period, fewer and fewer rabbits have brought back food. Why? The rabbit king found that some rabbits were originally lazy.
2. Necessity of Rewards
The rabbit king found that the lazy rabbits not only did their own work, but also had a negative impact on other rabbits. The rabbits who are not lazy also think that, since there is only one thing to do, what strength should they do? One by one. Therefore, the rabbit is determined to change this situation and announce that whoever performs well will be rewarded with him.
3. Reward at will, arousing dissatisfaction
A gray rabbit received the first carrot rewarded by the rabbit king, which aroused an uproar throughout the rabbit group. The rabbit king did not expect such a strong response, and it was a counterproductive response.
How many old rabbits came to talk to him and asked the rabbit king why he rewarded the rabbit? "I think the little gray rabbit is doing well," said the rabbit. If you can also be positive, you will naturally be rewarded ."
4. The rabbits learned to change their faces.
As a result, the rabbits discovered the secret of getting rewards. Almost all rabbits believe that as long as they are good at expressing themselves in front of the rabbit King, they will be rewarded with carrots. Honest rabbits always suffer from losses because they are not good at performance. As a result, a face-changing style (one on the other) became prevalent in the rabbit group. Many rabbits are trying to win the favor of the rabbit king. The hardworking and simple tradition of rabbits has been severely attacked.
5. Rule-based development
In order to reform the disadvantages of rabbit frauds, rabbit Wang, with the help of the old rabbits, developed a set of evidence-based incentives. This approach stipulates that the food returned by the rabbits must be accepted and rewarded based on the quantity.
For a while, the efficiency of rabbits has changed, and the inventory of food has greatly increased.
6. Pay attention to the reward system reform
The rabbit was not so proud for a long time, and the efficiency of the rabbits soon fell into a dilemma. The rabbit King was surprised. After careful investigation, the original food sources near the rabbit group had already been overexploited, but no one was willing to take the initiative to find a new food source.
A white rabbit with Long Ears accused him of his "quantity theory" and encouraged a utilitarian idea of short-term behavior, which is not conducive to cultivating behavioral motives that are truly beneficial to the long-term development of rabbits.
7. When the rules are broken
The rabbit thought that the rabbit was very reasonable. He began to think. One day, Tom failed to complete the task of the day. All his friends took the initiative to give him the mushrooms they collected. Once heard of this, rabbit Wang appreciates the moral character of helping others.
Two days later, the rabbit King happened to meet both of them at the warehouse door. When he was so happy, he was rewarded with Double prizes. In this case, face-changing games become popular again. Everyone is trying to please the rabbit king. If they don't, they will find the rabbit King noisy, making the rabbit King restless and restless. Some people say: "Why do I do more, but I get fewer rewards than I do ?" Some people said, "I did a lot this time, but I got less than the last time. Is that unfair ?"
8. Carrots will also lose incentives
After a long time, the situation is getting worse and worse. If there is no high reward, no one is willing to work. However, if no one works, where do people get their food? The rabbit King was helpless and announced that volunteers willing to contribute to the rabbit group could immediately receive a large basket of carrots. As soon as the announcement was made, the applicants were not enthusiastic. The rabbit Wang thought, "Congratulations!", indeed, a brave man.
No one expected that none of the registered rabbits completed the task on schedule. The rabbit was furious and ran to blame them. They said in unison: "You can't blame me, Rabbit king. Now that carrots are ready, who has the mind to work ?"
After hearing the story, Liu Bei was surprised to say: "I don't think there are so many exquisite carrots! What I did not expect is that carrots will lose incentives !"
"For an extremely hungry person, giving him the first bowl of food is life-saving, the second bowl is satisfied, and the third bowl is poison. When he eats the third bowl of rice, the value of the meal has completely changed for him. Where can he still appreciate the meaning of 'Grain is laborious? In the same sense, not only did the rabbit King's carrots not play an incentive role, but instead they made the rabbits more luxurious and lewd. Therefore, as the general manager, you should first understand the meaning of carrots. Otherwise, you will not only be able to motivate employees to work hard, but cause a lot of trouble. What you give them is not a pleasure, it is a poison."
Liu Bei lamented: "If you didn't remind me today, tomorrow I will share the same fate as the rabbit king !"
"Yes ...... Take the story of Chen Deng as an assistant to the general manager, which also caused a lot of gossip among the employees. Once again, everyone will think that as long as you are good at showing yourself in front of you, you will have a chance to get a promotion and raise. In this way, they will play face-changing tricks in front of you. Chen Deng will also cause two kinds of harm: on the one hand, others will scold him for being an asshole, causing damage to his normal interpersonal relationships; on the other hand, Chen Deng himself may also become a pet, this impairs his good moral character. Do you say that the bonus you sent to Chen Deng is a pack of poison that has no harm but profit ?"
"In this case, Chen Deng's bonus has vanished, and you should not mention it to anyone ." Liu Bei pondered and said, "also, what do you mean just now? Is it a kind of carrot that I upgraded Chen Deng to assistant to the general manager ?"
"Yes, there are many types of carrots, not limited to cash," said Min ."
