Q: Is the mushroom status necessary? How should we deal with the mushroom law?
What is mushroom management law?
"Mushroom management" refers to the management mentality of organizations or individuals to treat new entrants. Because beginners are often placed in a dark corner in departments that are not valued. They only do some complex and running jobs. Sometimes they are poured into a dung, and are criticized, accused, and replaced by others for no reason, organizations or individuals let themselves survive, and beginners do not have the necessary guidance and support. This situation is very similar to the growth of mushrooms.
Origin of mushroom Management Law
It is said that the word "mushroom Management Law" came from the idea of a group of young computer programmers in 1970s. Since many people did not understand their work at that time, they were skeptical and contemptuous, so young computer programmers often laugh at themselves as "a life like a mushroom ". The reason why computer programmers laugh at themselves is that it has something to do with the space for mushroom survival.
The Growth Characteristics of mushrooms require nutrients and moisture, but at the same time, you should pay attention to avoid direct sunlight, generally need to cultivate in the dark corner, excessive exposure will lead to premature death. In ancient times, the health of mushrooms is generally human and animal excrement. Although unclean, it is a necessity.
From the relationship between the two, the conditions of location and nourishment give the mushroom space for survival, but they must be self-generated, as do new scholars.
Mushroom law in management
An organization generally treats new employees equally, and there will be no big difference from the starting salary to the work. No matter how talented you are, at the beginning, you can only start with the simplest thing. The experience of "mushroom" is like a cocoon for growing young people, this is a step that must be taken before regionalization. Therefore, how to efficiently walk through this section of life, learn from it as much as possible, mature it, and establish a good and trustworthy personal image, it is a topic that young people who have just entered the society must face.
The ancients cloud: "food is bitter and bitter, for the person of the people", "the sky falls to the ranks of the people, must first bitter their hearts, work their bones and muscles, hungry their bodies" hardship is not a bad thing, in particular, just entering a job in the society, when I become a "mushroom" for a few days, I can eliminate many unrealistic fantasies and have a deeper understanding of all kinds of people and things, lay a solid foundation for future development. The "mushroom" experience is like a butterfly for young people who are growing up. If they cannot afford these hardships, they will never become butterflies with wings, therefore, you can learn from the experience and mature as soon as possible through the "mushroom" stage of life. Of course, if the "mushroom" takes a long time, it may become a hacker in the eyes of everyone, and I will gradually agree with this role.
From the significance of this law, it can be seen that the adjustment of mentality is very important for the first entrants of the Organization, especially those who come out of the ivory tower. Nowadays, many new students who have just graduated from college cannot afford their identity as college students or graduate students, and are wronged to do some small things that do not want to do, such as drinking tea and running errands to report, they can't stand this ordinary or mediocre job, so they have a negative attitude and want to change jobs. This is the kind of bad habits that modern young people reveal. The pride of the days in the ivory tower is full of confidence in the future with the ideal and ambition. However, "I don't want to scan the world in one room", I don't even want to do anything. How can I achieve a great career? Isn't it wrong to think of such management as a company? "No one can see the rainbow without going through the storm, and no one can make it right away." It is impractical to students into a fat man. New people need to exercise themselves in a "mushroom" environment.
How can "Mushrooms" grow as soon as possible?
The key is to integrate into a team and obtain as much nutrition and support as possible from the team to gain ground as soon as possible.
Any organization is inseparable from interpersonal relationships. Although it is now a "contract society", if we establish all kinds of relationships on a white-paper contract, there is no room for accommodation, it will be considered cool and heartless. In fact, if there is no trust relationship between people, work cannot be done in one step. We often need to use the power of others, and such a relationship of mutual trust is not within or outside the organization.
In an organization, the most important thing is to do a good job of interpersonal relationships in your office. The Office is mainly based on collectivism. Everyone should not only stick to their posts, but also cooperate with each other and complement each other. If the Office has a strong centripetal force, everyone will be willing to work for all their companions. If every member of a small group has deep cohesion, then a warm interpersonal relationship is formed.
Human beings are a kind of group actions. Naturally, they must have a sense of belonging. If we are at the same time as the group, we will feel at ease. If we are at the same time as the group, we will feel uneasy. Some people think that it is not appropriate to emphasize "Unity" by wearing a uniform, but in fact, external fusion may affect the internal mood and produce results. Therefore, even if you are not used to the style of your organization, keep your favorite clothes on holidays. When I go to work at the company, I still wear clothes suitable for the organizational environment. It is better to give myself some specifications by appearance.
Courtesy is equally important. No matter which company implements a business courtesy course for new recruits. When you first enter the company, you must learn how to treat customers, how to exchange business cards, how to introduce yourself, how to answer the phone, how to make phone calls, and how to talk. These are basic enterprise specifications. Violation of them will not only make you a heterogeneous target on the public side, but may also cause losses to the Organization.
When we are regarded as "mushrooms", it is useless to emphasize that we are "Ganoderma lucidum". Using the environment to grow as soon as possible is the most important thing. When you really stand out from the "mushroom Heap", people will recognize your value.
Mushroom Law
If it takes too long to become a "mushroom", you may become a mushroom in the eyes of everyone. Therefore, in the company, you must be good at expressing yourself and have the opportunity to stand out. Make full use of company meetings to express your opinions, take the initiative to show your achievements, face changes with confidence, take risks, and try to avoid undertaking work that you cannot directly control, and develop the habit of timely reporting.
If a person becomes a "mushroom" for too long, he should reposition himself and his work. There is no omnipotent talent in the world. At best, you can only succeed in one or two ways. You can only gather the full body of energy, focus on the direction that best suits you, in order to achieve a good you. People know that people with different personalities must be placed in the most appropriate positions to maximize their potential.
So how can we shorten the mushroom period we have experienced? This requires you not to be arrogant, arrogant, or arrogant in your work and life, nor to expand yourself or be proud of yourself. You must pinpoint yourself and find your own path, persistently and persistently strive to show yourself and find opportunities to stand out.
No matter how talented you are, you will have a mushroom experience when you do anything for the first time. The difference is that the experience time is different. A person who has experienced a long period of time may be regarded as a winner temporarily. A person who has experienced a short period of time is often named as a winner.
Case study of mushroom Law
Case 1: from miscellaneous to CEO of HP
After graduating from Stanford Law School, Carol was the first job as an operator at a real estate brokerage company. Her daily job was to answer the phone, type, copy, and sort out documents. Although both her parents and friends expressed support for her choice, it is obvious that this is not the right score of a Stanford graduate. She has no complaints and actively learns from her simple work. By chance, several agents asked her if she was willing to do anything else. So she got a chance to write a document. This time, her life has changed. The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, calina ferina, is honored as the world's No. 1 CEO.
An organization generally treats new employees equally. No matter how talented you are, you can only start from the simplest task. The "mushroom" experience is like a cocoon for young people who are growing up. It is a step that must be taken before the emergence of mushrooms.
Nowadays, the employment situation is very pressing. graduates who have just left the school cannot find satisfactory jobs because they have no experience in employment. Therefore, some people choose the path of employment first. To work in society and to live in school, the first thing we need is to adjust the corners and corners to adapt to the society, remove the pride of young people and the height of intellectuals, and straighten out our minds, low posture. If these newcomers understand the principles of mushroom management, they will be able to learn from the simplest and most monotonous things, strive to do every small thing well, work more, complain less, and enter the social role more quickly, by winning the recognition and trust of our predecessors, we can end the mushroom period earlier and enter the domain that truly gives full play to our talents.
Case 2: gifts from King Solomon
Story: once, King Solomon brought a little girl to the rice field and said, "Didn't you want a valuable gift? I will give you a reward, but you will do one thing for me: pick out the largest rice spike in this rice field and give it to me ."
The little girl agreed happily.
"But I have a condition," said King Solomon. "When you pass through the rice field, you must keep moving forward. You cannot stop or return, not to turn around. Remember that the gift I gave you is proportional to the size of your rice spike ." As a result, when the girl came out of the rice field, she didn't get any gifts because the rice spike she saw was too small.
What is the story? Easy-looking, nothing!
Therefore, to put this law into practice, we should start from two aspects: 1. Enterprise; 2. Individual.
1. Enterprises:
- Avoid early exposure: he or she is still White Paper, and theory is inevitable. Too early commitment to young people is equal to the encouragement of Miao;
- Nutrients must be sufficient: training, rotation, and other work-driven means are tools to help human capital become human resources.
Ii. Individuals:
- Don't have too much hope at first: When we become a "mushroom" for a few days, we can eliminate many unrealistic fantasies, so that we can be closer to reality and be more practical when we look at the problem;
- Be patient and wait for the opportunity: Never expect the environment to adapt to you, and do a monotonous job to have the opportunity to do a real career;
- Strive for nutrients and thrive: To effectively learn from the days of mushrooms and make your mind mature.
The "mushroom experience" is the longest and most painful experience in your career. It plays a vital role in the embodiment of the value of life. After this phase of refining, you will be able to master the operation skills of the current type of work, improve some human abilities, as well as the will to challenge setbacks and failures, this is also the most important thing. The availability of many capabilities paves the way for the smooth development of your career in the future. In this sense, "mushroom Sutra" is a valuable asset of life. The tempering on the career road is not a performance on the stage. It requires not only entering the role, but also bearing all kinds of misfortunes in real life and suffering from repeated failures and failures in the career. There are always various kinds of disappointments in your career, but a strong-willed person can turn adversity into good conditions and find opportunities in setbacks. On the contrary, there are many people who lose to themselves once they encounter unexpected setbacks or misfortunes due to lack of temper. Therefore, it is difficult for smooth sailing people to achieve extraordinary achievements.
