When I was a class leader in school, I took the second place in sports, and all other group activities took the first place. At the bottom of the waves, I used to bring out the "crazy team" together with foreigners. I also left 90% of the teams that have already been included in the layoff plan with outstanding performance, in the end, the team was taken by foreigners. He once led an engineer group and played an important role in the rush and tail of the water intake project, the largest and most complex Division project at the bottom of the waves. Not only did he regain the construction period of the past seven months, it is also closed in advance and handed over smoothly within the contract period. I have some experiences during many years of team building and would like to share with you.
Team building: give you a group of people and you have to put them together and move them in one direction. How can this problem be solved? In my practice, we will list some practices that should be prioritized:
First, all prerequisites-Respect! If you don't know how to respect people, you can't talk about anything. This respect does not come from "equality of human life" that the ghosts do not believe, but from the belief that "as long as they are individuals, there is something better than themselves and it is useful ". This respect is tangible and can be seen and felt. For example, you are punctual, trustworthy, and listen to your opinions modestly. Trust is the greatest, most valuable, and most effective respect! This is reflected in the rational and effective authorization and appointment of team members.
Then we need to communicate with each other, understand the situation, and apply the impact. Good communication is like a sensitive and effective neural system, and a lubricant for running machines. There are a variety of communication methods, which you prefer: chat; someone once asked me: how can I see you chatting with people all day? My answer is: chatting is also a job. This is because it is not about chatting, especially about timing and topic selection. The purpose is only one-to draw close distance, maintain a harmonious atmosphere, understand the situation, and exert influence. Others prefer entertainment, especially playing chess, playing cards, and drinking. These three activities can best reflect people's character and can't hide them. Character doesn't matter! The most important thing is to make good use of it. Reduce conflicts and enhance the synergy through reasonable combinations.
There is also a text record. It is important for team members, especially key members, to develop the habit of making text records (formal and informal). This is not very important for team building, however, from the perspective of enterprise management and project management, it is very important. In addition, the purpose of team building is to ultimately do a good job.
Then there is service, which is the core content of team building. We should try our best to press on the idea that we are headers and have the right to give orders, so as to press the words like supervision and control. More importantly, I want to take responsibility for this group, with the aim of doing a good job. The work is ultimately done by the entire team, not by someone. It is necessary to create a good working environment for team members based on services.
In other words, the organizer's task is to set up the stage and let the team members sing tricks. Don't worry about being overwhelmed! 1. You are the best performer, but you are the one reported to your boss. 2. Even if a team member eventually surpasses you, you have helped him in good faith, and he will naturally help you, why not? Therefore, it is very taboo not to be stingy with your superiors to affirm the achievements of team members, or to be competitive with others. To let team members let go of their work, "wrong, the responsibility is mine, right, the credit is yours" not only to say, but also to do it!
The services mentioned here are both at work and in life. They are all important and should be as meticulous and considerate as possible. After the service is ready, the management is basically done. It should be pointed out that the service is not equal to accommodating, but is principled and within the scope of its own capabilities. In addition, in this process, there will be many misunderstandings and grievances, and it will also be a "loss". No way. Who makes you the first? If you want to do a good job, you have to recognize all this, and take advantage of these small "losses" and take advantage of "good job ". When your score comes out, you will lose your misunderstanding and grievance. You will gain a group of friends and good memories who have been caring for and trusting each other many years later.
There are also coordination and organization, that is, putting the right people in the right place. In fact, as a specific skill and work content, it is connected with respect, communication and service. After completing the first few items, coordination and organization is basically a matter of course. There are two aspects to be aware of. One is to pay attention to the actual situation, because people are on the fly; the other is to pay attention to as many and reasonable authorizations as possible, and the less managed, the better.
Then there is incentives. Material rewards are necessary, but they must be used with caution and used less. Because good things often turn into bad things, especially for Chinese people nowadays. Not only does not play an incentive role, but it does not cause unnecessary troubles, increase comparison, suspicion and other contradictions, and undermine the atmosphere. In addition, if we always rely on material incentives, it means there is a problem with the organization and compensation system.
Incentives should be more spiritual. The most effective thing is sincere respect and trust for people, full and effective authorization, and prompt and effective recognition of achievements, you can also use your buddy's loyalty. If you can really attach importance to the opinions of team members, give full, effective, and appropriate authorizations, and give timely confirmation when you complete the task, and give sincere help and encouragement when you fail, it is more intense and lasting than the amount of money promised to reward him. Although it is not necessary to exaggerate the story, the role cannot be underestimated. Everyone wants their work to be recognized. A timely and public praise is very important. It represents cognition, affirmation, and recognition.
Finally, it is also the most important issue. All the above mentioned items should be guided by a principle, that is, to work together and achieve the goal, and the ultimate goal is to do a good job. This is a basic criterion and a benchmark for measuring the success of team building.
In short, it is difficult to build a team. The key is how to grasp it. As long as you are enthusiastic, sincere, and responsible, you are willing to make friends with the team members (Luoyang has a saying: After you put it up, you will do it well), and add some necessary skills (not just a good player ), and support from superiors (this is also necessary), and the team should not worry about poor construction. Use of extraordinary means
Some experiences on team building (2)
In the previous article, we talked about some practices that should be emphasized and prioritized in Team building. However, the revolution is not a treat, and it is impossible for team building to always be cool, and there will always be some extraordinary situations, there will always be some very useful means. Next, let's talk about some famous sayings and practical experiences we believe in.
First of all, you must be able to "bow your head to the Ox" and be able to "roll your fingers ". In the face of confrontation, misunderstanding, rumors, and temporary opposition, we must be patient! In fact, it is not difficult to achieve this. A basic attitude is to live and be grateful. This is what I learned when I was a senior at school and faced the troubles mentioned above. At that time, the idea was: Isn't it a good exercise opportunity now, as long as there are more and less encounters than what will happen to the general community? Isn't the person you are not going to help you? Should I be grateful for helping you? After thinking this way, I felt refreshed and refreshed. On the runway playground, I felt that the sun was dancing on every grass tip. Later, when I joined the water intake with an engineer group, I had to change my long-standing work style because I had to get the lost construction period back ", there is not much time to explain and understand, and it is a long time for evil. However, after years of experience, I was confident that I knew what kind of person I was, and I firmly believed that time and facts could prove everything, coupled with the trust and support of my superiors, in the end, I survived this issue. Another basic attitude is: do not be afraid of offending people. The reason is very simple. You come to work for the purpose of taking money, doing a good job, not making friends. Therefore, we must resolutely oppose people and affairs that harm our team. We must take the initiative to deal with such affairs without any flexibility. In this regard, I have a profound experience and lessons. Two people once decided that they were not suitable for the team, but they all caused unnecessary trouble because they had told me to leave the team, the latter cause great losses to the work.
With a basic attitude, the strategy goes like "who is our friend and who is our enemy is the primary issue of the revolution ". In fact, this is also the power to unite everything and strive for the majority; isolation, differentiation, collapse, and fight against a very small number of issues. Even in the very few to be attacked, I have to say "the first evil is necessary, and the association is never corrected ". In short, the percussion surface should be as narrow as possible! Because it is impossible to achieve a win-win situation. The so-called "killing the enemy one thousand has hurt eight hundred ". Therefore, you must be cautious and be forced to make a choice when your team's interests are compromised. The measure of the enemy and friend mentioned here is whether the interests of the team are harmed and the personal likes and dislikes must never be used.
After clarifying the problem between the enemy and friends, Lei Feng said: treat comrades as warm as spring; treat the enemy as cold as winter. Once you decide to take actions on people and things that harm the interests of the group, you must be firm and strong. The number of times should be as small as possible, and the intensity should be as stable as possible. Let us know that you have a sword in your hand, and, once necessary, the sword will be cut down without mercy. Another reason for doing so is: When people are treated with "good nature", I also agree with the ZAO Nuclear theory. That is to say: in a group, there are only a few of the best and especially bad people. Most people are concentrated in the middle and running at both ends. The power of role models is endless! The key to determining the nature of this group is to look at what is expected. As a team builder, we must punish evil and promote good deeds, establish positive spirits, and form a virtuous circle. Once a virtuous circle is formed, the work goes smoothly.
As for the specific means, it is necessary for people to do things. Mao Zedong said: This world is complex, so our thoughts must be more complex. In particular, the people you face are often villains, wicked people, and smart people. Therefore, if you do not talk about some means, it is impossible to rely solely on kindness and justice. Do not predefine the means. In fact, the content determines the form, and the purpose determines the means. Just like a poison, it can be used to harm people, or to kill consumption and help people. The method itself is not guilty. The key is what you use. However, when using the means, 1.1 of them should be warned not to be lost in the mask process like the story of the mask. Based on your own character, the means to pursue and apply are useless, actually used, and also an enemy. In the martial arts novels, there are no tricks to win. Gu Long has shaped Xiao Fei Dao. In reality, watching the other party do their best to deal with you; You, You don't want to play with him, just look at it all the way, when don't you want to watch it, A knife stabbed him in his heart, and all his actions ran away. Your face was noisy, but it felt so nice! However, this also shows that your practice is not enough, including here. The real realm should be flattered.
Another point: it is important to have the trust and support of the boss, whether it is a foreign company or a state-owned enterprise. Especially when you are facing a very bad situation and getting into trouble! In fact, my several successful team building experiences are inseparable from the trust and support of my superiors. Unfortunately, I am not doing well in dealing with the relationship between my superiors. What I need is more reflection, improvement, and transformation, mainly personality and ideas. Like most people, I think it's close to your boss, welcoming, and offering. I once talked about it for a long time and was proud that I would not intentionally close to my boss. I trust myself because of my own strength. Two things and two articles later I changed my opinion. First, I met a super fine-managed boss who wanted to manage everything on his own. He tried to prevent his subordinates. Although he was not able to do anything, he did bring great troubles to the individual and work. In another experience, I once lost the support and trust of a boss who had always trusted and supported me. Although I finally ruled out interference, I had some unpleasant memories after all. Let's look at the history. Isn't it all a profound lesson that many loyal ministers will be harmed by the profiteers? Later, I read two articles about how to deal with the management of projects and how to view office politics. Regardless of the specific content, the two articles share one thing in common: when encountering these problems, you cannot escape them. Instead, you must put aside the traditional ideas and actively respond to the problems. Although I still cannot do all of the useful techniques, I am not as disgusted with them as before. In addition, some basic concepts have been established, such as: the boss is also a person; the space around the boss, rather than letting the villain and the traitor fill, it is better for you to fill; what you can do to customers, why not to superiors. What's more, superiors are your most important customers.
This is my personal experience. Unlike the preference in the previous article, the solution is as follows: since it is a very effective method, it can only be used in extraordinary circumstances, but only as an auxiliary means; the same as the best practice given in the previous article: correctness must be measured based on whether it is conducive to team building.
