Bucket Law
The short board theory is developed by American management experts.
Peter
Proposed. Its core content is: the amount of water in a bucket does not depend on the highest block on the bucket wall, but on the shortest block on the bucket wall. According to this core content, there are two inferences about the bucket Theory: first, the bucket can be filled with water only when all the boards on the bucket wall are high enough. Second, as long as there is not enough height in the bucket, the water in the bucket cannot be full.
First, this theory may not be applicable to individuals.
Individuals must give full play to their advantages and manage their weaknesses. It is recommended that you take a look at "discover your advantages now", which has a classic discussion on it (In addition, all genuine books have an evaluation account to explore the advantages you have not found ). When we were young, most of the education we received was improvement. The disadvantage was progress, and any partial score in mathematics and Chinese language was not going to go up. This inertial thinking should be changed.
Secondly, for the team, this theory should be expanded.
Here, I compare a team to a bucket. A team leader is like a bucket skeleton. A team member is like a wooden bucket. The competitiveness of a team is like the water usage of a bucket. How can we make the barrel take more water?
The first step is to identify the boards on the hand, where the boards are long, where they are short, and what shapes they are.
The second step is to place the boards in a proper position so that they can show their strengths and complement their weaknesses.
Third, the entire barrel is firmly integrated so that the water in the barrel will not leak out. Such a process is also a process of building a superior team (it may also need to be added: gathering suitable boards ).
Similarly, team leaders should encourage members to take advantage of their strengths rather than making up for their weaknesses (other members of the team can make up for their personal weaknesses ). Leaders should take advantage of the strengths of all members and their own centripetal force to create a solid, large barrel.
I am more optimistic about the significance of the barrel Law in the team. Today's society is an age that advocates team, not personal heroism. Only through the competitiveness of the team can the competitiveness of people be better presented. Huawei has a slogan, so far I still remember:Only excellent teams can have excellent individuals, while Mediocre teams can never have excellent individuals.
Next, let's expand and discuss talents and virtues. Continuing to compare the wooden boards is like the strengths of wooden boards. Virtue is like the texture of wooden boards. For example, a wooden board has outstanding length but poor texture, it is useless because it is affected by the outside world. This will eventually cause the entire bucket to crash. Mengniu has a classic saying "you have virtues and talents, you can use them in an advanced manner, you have virtues and talents, and you can cultivate and use them." You have talents and virtues, and you are limited to use them.
I want to talk about something else. This is also what I want to ask (Thank you ~!~).
I think the members of a superior team must be differentiated.
A team that tends to be homogeneous cannot form excellent competitiveness. The difference here refers to the difference in ability (complementary advantages), personality, way of thinking, and gender. More about capabilities. In terms of personality, for example, some people are persistent and some are good at compromise. In terms of the way of thinking, some people often have some whimsy, while others are logically rigorous. As for gender, I think that since God has created both men and women, it is necessary to match men and women in the face of God.
If there are differences, there will be friction, and there will be sparks to ignite the strength of the entire team.
