Management (12)-let employees see the results of their work at any time

Story One

A psychologist, who has done an experiment, aims to confirm the effect of work on human productivity. He hired a woodcutter to cut the tree with a sharp axe, and the woodcutter did it fast and well. Later, he was asked to chop a piece of wood with the back of an axe, and the psychologist told the Woodcutter that the time for work was as usual, but the reward doubled, and his only task was to chop the logs with an axe. After a long day of work, the woodcutter threw away the axe and said, "I want to see the chips fly out." ”

In fact, who does not want to see "Flying wood"?

"Flying Wood" is the result of subordinates ' work, which is the direct manifestation of each subordinate's self-worth, and can be understood as the external effective value of each work, which is the most direct result of labor. So, to see the "flying wood" is exactly what each subordinate's work means. Any work that does not see "wood chips" can only be mechanical repetition, which means burying and annihilating the work and the value of work. and the duplication of machinery and the results of the buried with 100%, or even 200% of negative effects and great damage, it can be a person's work enthusiasm and driving force to zero, or ultimately make it "nothing for".

Let employees see the "Flying wood" in time, can immediately mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, so that the original boring meaningless work, become attractive. such as a blind factory in Shanghai, specializing in the production of various screws. This work is very standardized, professional, program-controlled, which for the blind, is more appropriate, but undoubtedly also monotonous. But when they learned that their own production of screws, has been installed on the aircraft, ships, all kinds of machine tools, these products are exported to many countries and regions of the world, they feel the heart of comfort and pride, deeply felt the value of their labor.

not seeing "flying chips" is the main reason why employees lose their enthusiasm for work. When employees "do not see wood chips", the uncertainty of psychology reduces their ability to concentrate and work, thereby compromising performance.   

A real estate company in the United States, once preparing for a very important research project. GRN, who was in charge of the project, handed over this important task to Maria. She is a competent employee and is highly valued in the company. Grn told Maria that the study would take 5 months. If the task is done well, the company will give her a promotion on the occasion of the completion of the task.

During this period, GRN closely watched Maria's work progress. Everything, as he wished, did not have any problems. But, to his wonder, 3 months later, Maria asked Grn:

"GRN, I feel that my work is too meaningless, I can not see any of their own results, I am not sure to do it well, so I decided not to do." ”

This surprised Grn, who did not understand why the best employees had "ruined their future" and pushed off a job that was far from her ability. Later, Maria continued to explain: "You have this challenging job for me to give me the opportunity to promote the promotion I am grateful." But I've been working for 3 months, but I don't see any results. I don't know how I'm doing, I don't know if my work is going to be great or just acceptable ... For such a long time, I was in a fog of uncertainty. I was going to finish the job completely, but I can't stand the pressure, I can only make a change. I am sorry! let you down. ”

In reality, when employees do not see the results of work, he can not get a sense of accomplishment in his work, and can not make effective corrections, and thus unable to effectively work towards the goal. Facing the confused "front", he will take it for granted, feel that his work is meaningless. Therefore, if leaders want to make employees feel the meaning of work, they must use the "work" to mentally satisfy them, so that they can gain in spirit.

Real work results are the embodiment of self-worth of employees. By letting subordinates see their results, they can experience deep self-satisfaction and a sense of pride. For example, the car workers like to watch the assembled car out of the house, the housewife will imagine the family to eat her meals when the expression of satisfaction, to the shuttle rivet workers see the Shuttle Launch Heaven will be satisfied, these incentives, all from the work of the results. This spirit of satisfaction can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, so that their dedication, and actively committed to the company's performance improvement.

So when an employee performs a task, as a leader, be sure to let the employee see "flying chips" and not let the employee guess how they are doing . Leaders need to remember the needs of their employees because they may not be as proactive as loggers. However, as a leader, it is incumbent on employees to know the results of his work.

Work experience Sharing:

1. Let employees know what they are doing. before you make a project, be sure to clarify the context of the project, and don't do it for a few months without even knowing the name of the project, and many companies are having problems.

2, according to the interests of employees to assign tasks. Some people are born to like coding, if you still they do configuration, writing documents, they will be rejected, you say better, they also do not care about their own results.

3, according to the staff's ability to assign tasks. too many tasks do not finish, the task is too little to highlight the results.

4, timely recognition and recognition of the employees ' achievements. everyone wants to get a palm and a compliment, and a simple compliment will bring warmth and excitement to the staff and allow them to enjoy the results of their work.

5, timely the work of the team to share the results of everyone. For example, the team of this round of iterative review passed, the team out of the design scheme passed, the delivery of the project is normal on-line, has been highly recognized by customers and so on, these are the work of the team, timely sharing to everyone, open a simple small celebration, to a large extent to improve morale.
