Management inspiration: how Zhu Yuanzhang uses small strategies to consolidate his leadership position

Zhu yuantao, the founding emperor of the Daming empire, is flexible in his mind, especially making good use of some small strategies to consolidate his position.
Prior to the founding of the Ming Dynasty empire, Zhu Yuanzhang participated in the fight against the Yuan dynasty. At that time, he joined Guo Zixing, an important anti-yuan leader. Zhu yuanfudao, Guo Zixing, was appointed as the Chief soldier of the State (today in Anhui Province and the county) in a short time. However, most of the military officers stationed in and in the State have been subordinate to Guo Zixing for years. Zhu yuanzhi has been appointed to serve him and the State Corps, and the generals will not be convinced. They decided to establish their leadership position in some ways.
On the day before the first formal meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered him to remove the seat of the main chair in the hall and placed only a long row of wooden chairs. Zhu yuantao was deliberately late when the meeting was held the next day. When he arrived at the venue, the generals were seated first, and the seats in the venue were full, leaving only the last seat on the left for him. Zhu yuanxian's position in the minds of the generals is bright.
After the meeting, when discussing military and political affairs, senior generals present here can only face each other when deciding on military and political affairs, even though they are fighting and killing on the battlefield. When Zhu Yuanzhang made his speech, he was able to accurately analyze the situation of the enemy and me, and put forward specific methods and measures. His performance made the senior officers present here have to be convinced.
In addition to discussing military and political affairs, the meeting also made a division of labor for the rectification of the city pool and completed within three days.
When the three-day period is reached, Zhu yuanzhe and zhuzhi will receive an on-site inspection from the city pool. As a result, only the part of the project responsible for rectification will be completed as scheduled, and all sections of the project under the responsibility of other generals will not be completed.
Zhu yuanyu believes that the time for uniform generals is ripe. He calmly looked down and took out Guo Zixing's article, sitting down south. Zhu yuantao said to all the generals, "the Corps is the life of the Lord. If I am not dedicated to building a city and want to do things, I cannot finish the work on schedule. Who can take responsibility for mistaken military equipment? In the future, there will be violators and military law disposal ." The senior generals present knew that the military was delayed and naturally did not dare to speak in anger.
Although Zhu YuanYi was presiding over the military affairs, there were two brushes, And he managed the military strictly. After the incident, he quickly established his personal prestige.
Expert analysis:
In terms of management, the authority of supervisors is decomposed into: 1. The authority of Experts refers to the professional competence of leaders. 2. Association right refers to the relationship between leaders and superiors. 3. Information right refers to the ability of leaders to master information inside and outside the organization. IV. The right of reference refers to the ethics and ethics of leaders. In the control of leadership, the ethics and ethics of leaders can enhance the effectiveness of management. 5. The right to reward and punishment refers to the right of a leader to reward and punish members of an organization.
In the aforementioned cases, Zhu Yuanzhang used several powers, including the authority of experts, reference, association, and punishment. First, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to present his military knowledge and expertise at the meeting, which presented his expert rights to everyone.
Second, for generals who cannot complete the city building within the three-day period, Zhu yuanmiao moved out of Guo Zixing's article, indicating that he was also ordered by his superiors to act, suggesting that the generals present, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a "Zhu yuanxing" but a "representative of Guo Zixing". Even if you show his superior relationship to my subordinates, that is, the relevant authority in management.
Finally, Zhu yuanmiao warned the generals who failed to complete the work within the time limit. The next time there will be similar cases, they will be punished by military law-this is the right to use punishment. Among them, it is particularly worth discussing the punitive power he uses.
Many new supervisors do not dare to use the penalty right. This kind of supervisor is usually a "relationship-oriented" supervisor. his relationship with his subordinates is a good relationship between his colleagues. He worries that using the punishment right will hurt each other's anger. However, excessive "relationship-oriented" supervisors do not dare to request subordinates. Therefore, they cannot establish authority in their subordinates and will never be like a supervisor.
Compared with excessive "relationship-oriented" Supervisors, they are "excessive work-oriented" supervisors. This kind of supervisor takes work performance as the first consideration, and the work performance must be affirmed. However, "people" are prone to problems.
How leaders balance relationship orientation and work orientation is worth learning from.
Prior to the use of the punitive power, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly informed his subordinates of the objectives of his work (completion of the construction work within three days ). After the deadline is reached, the general who fails to reach the preset goal will be declared to be punished only when the target is reached.
Zhu Yuanzhang uses the punishment right only after explicitly notifying his subordinates about the objectives of the Organization and the consequences of failing to reach the goals of the Organization. His practice is not "no, therefore, when he declares the right to use punishment, his subordinates will naturally be convinced. This is a good way to strike a balance between "relationship orientation" and "work orientation.
