Cohesion is competitiveness

Cohesion is competitiveness

The boss of an enterprise invited me to dinner and wanted to talk to me about his inner distress. The general manager was exhausted by the company's supervisors recently. It was easy to do things, but it was really hard to be human, he is confident in his grasp of market information, but he is increasingly tired of turning around in various department heads.

 

He said that every supervisor in the company has a good ability and a good performance in the department. He is glad that the company has recruited very good talents, however, these supervisors often complain about other departments behind the scenes. Although the company has made money over the past few years, the secrets between supervisors are just like time bombs, it is very likely to blow up the company's organization in four to five.

 

Looking at this boss who is always good at setting up a land outside China, he is frustrated by this "Gossip". I think there are not a few cases in similar organizations, in an era that emphasizes professional division of labor, we must believe that everyone has their own skills, but talented people may not be able to get along with each other in good faith, on the contrary, there may be more competitions, mutual suspicion, and dissatisfaction among others. Therefore, some people choose to leave their own brands and become their biggest competitors.

 

Everyone is a good person, but will a good thing happen when a good person is together? A good father and a competent mother are the greatest happiness in the world for children, but this does not mean that their parents can get along with each other, there may still be occasional incidents of something falling, rolling, or cold war at home.

 

Professor Gao xijun once said, "the competitiveness of the country comes from social cohesion .」 This sentence is used in an enterprise. We can say that the competitiveness of an Enterprise comes from the cohesion of various departments. For a family, whether the family is competitive or whether every family member is interested in the family. This cohesion allows us to abandon ourselves and our prejudice and regard achieving our common goal as our greatest achievement.

 

The general manager's experience touched me to think of a fable, so during the banquet, I shared this old story with him:

 

In the deep mountains, there were three monks who joined in the same fate to a dilapidated small temple. The Buddha statues in the temple had been poured out, and the bar beams were also eroded by termite. The incense burner could have bottomed out, presumably, this temple has been abandoned for a long time, and even the monk has no trace. I do not know that the monk sighed: "The place of this temple is quite quiet. Why is it ridiculous? 」

 

A monk replied, "This must be because the monk is not devout, so the Bodhisattva does not work .」

 

Monk B does not think so: "I think it must be that the Monk does not work hard to maintain, so the temple does not repair .」

 

Monk Bing thought for a moment: "No, I think it must be that the monk is not respectful to people, so they do not want to come to the door .」

 

The three are defending and arguing over their views. To prove that they are right, they decided to stay in the temple and practice it for themselves to see who is the key to the prosperity of the temple.

 

As a result, monk a likes the Buddha and never delays. While monk B diligently cleans and makes the building a new look, the two monks will respond to each other and explain the Dharma in life to the xiangke from time to time. Finally, the incense in the temple gradually grew stronger, and all the cians in the nearby county came to this temple with great pains. Everyone and Shang were very happy to see such a glorious view.

 

Just in relief, Monk Jia said, "this is because I sincerely LIFO the Buddha, so I have a Bodhisattva to protect you .」 Monk B did not agree: "This is because I fully cleaned it every day and made it spotless, so it should be my credit .」 The monk Bing said angrily: "This is why I want to persuade the world to run, and the temple is famous, and there is no endless fragrance .」 Such a quarrel began to happen day by day. Finally, the fragrant guests in the temple gradually became scarce and could no longer hear the melodious fan Bai. They could not see the clean tables and chairs and could not feel the temperature in the incense burner, it's like a cold model of monks.

 

When the Temple returned to their new appearance, they decided to go to different places. when they broke up, they finally had a consistent view that the temple was deserted, neither the monk is honest, nor the monk is not diligent, not the monk is not modest, but the monk is not harmonious.

 

After the story is over, I also suggest the general manager tell the director this fable, because each person has his own set of principles. Too many reasoning may only cause tension in the relationship, it is better to tell a story and let our own principles be interpreted. Because the art of getting along with top talents cannot find a textbook that can be covered. For such rational people, it is an effective way to open barriers with emotional philosophies and thought-provoking stories.

 

People's emotions are complex. In complex interpersonal relationships, simple stories are the most effective. This is the story of consensus in teamwork and the spark of team competitiveness enhancement.
