I am a member of the company's marketing department and a general, strength greatly enhanced

Last week, the marketing department of the company I worked for was a big one. Looking back at the World Network business for 3 years, I feel that their biggest achievement is to build a good team. In this article, I will write about my experience of hiring and keeping people in a start-up company without reservation. I'm sure there will be a lot of people who disagree with my point of view, but I guarantee that these are authentic thoughts.

1, don't waste time looking for "senior person"

First said a dusty past, in the decision to start the World Network business manager, I have been instructed to find a senior media person as editor-in-chief, spent about half a year to contact a lot of senior media people, said a lot of good things, the result no one would like to go to such a not-yet-born magazine work. Finally, the eldest brother had no way, had to put me on top, the bite of the bullet let me do the executive editor. Later things we may all know, the World Network business development is not bad, I this executive editor is over completed the task.

For a start-up team, I do not want to waste time on the search for the senior person of this matter, one will not be a real senior person willing to come, and then really have a senior person to come, he may not have the founder to do well.

What is Senior? This is also a question worth thinking about. Are you working a lot of years? Did you prove yourself in the original company? A veteran person may be a valuable experience or a mindset. For startups, senior people may not help you too much, you need to survive in a fast-changing environment, and you need to break the routine rather than the legacy of experience.

2, the real talent can meet not to ask

I used to think that there was a methodology in the world that I could look at and then learn how to find talent. But looking back, I get the real talent, almost all inexplicably appear, the normal way over (for example, recruitment sites, campus recruitment) but very little.

Yang Qin, the best journalist I ever had, was letters to find me on the Internet. My school sister Qi Yu, is in Fudan BBS above see I sent the recruitment revelation to find me. My editor Lu Jianing, is Qi Yu former colleague, Qi Yu introduced. The Tangxiao I recruited in Ming Road was found by the micro-credit public account.

Looking for an entrepreneurial partner is very similar to looking for the other half, you can only rely on fate. Maybe a lot of people have finished watching to beat me, "you said for a long time, equals nothing to say Ah!" "But that's the way it is."

3, pay attention to the accumulation of "low-end" network

Everyone knows that connections are important, but most of them may focus on "high-end" connections, but ignore the people around them, which is not worth the candle. You know, you go to curry favor with the high-end person, people will really value you? How much value do you have for others? Hard to save a stack of cards, a picture of a photo, really need help when found discreetly.

When we are trying to climb the pyramid of the workplace, we need someone to pull you up, and you need someone to top you down. Why was Chiang Kai-shek three times out of three times and was invited back? Because he was the only one who could command the generals, because he had been the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he had enough "low-end" connections to support him.

So pay attention to those low-end connections. One of your "little fans" may be the general who will help you succeed in the future.

4. Cooperation rather than employment

As a start-up, don't overestimate your attractiveness to talented people. What is attraction? See not see every year tens of thousands of of young talent for a civil service position to squeeze the head, a variety of relationships, all kinds of unspoken rules, it is called attraction!

Then we face the government, state-owned enterprises, foreign companies, there is no advantage? There is a kind of welfare that they can't give but we can give, that is the sense of achievement and personal growth. In a large company, the impact of the individual on the entire organization is difficult to feel, you are like a small gear, the same as the machine can be run, the other is not too much relationship. In large organizations, day after day do not need to think about the implementation of the pace of personal growth is very slow.

But in startups, the personal impact on the entire company can be fully perceived, and that gives a young person the sense of accomplishment is very strong. Also, startups often require employees to be invincible and capable, and the growth rate of their employees will be very fast.

If we want to maximize the motivation of an employee, we must not let him feel that he is just selling his strength and time for the company, and let him feel that he is using the company's resources to work for themselves. So, the relationship between us and our employees is not an employment relationship, but a partnership.

5, the value of enterprises more attractive

Alibaba attaches great importance to values, which has been criticized by many people, and even compared with Ma Yun and Chairman Mao, but I see from the actual work, values are really very, very important. A person's work performance equals the product of business ability and values. That is to say, with the same business capability, two of employees who have different degrees of corporate values can contribute several times differently.

What are values? Generally speaking, the company's value is the founder, the leader's values. The soldier bear One, will bear a nest, crooked, say all Is this truth. And, values can be passed on, and he will be directly exposed when you hire people.

The reason why I work hard and have a sense of achievement in Ming Dao is that I very much agree with the value concept of founder Xianghui-----polishing products like craftsmen, believing that socialization management is a big trend and makes everyone's work simpler.

There are many things in this world that can make money, but not all the things that make money can bring you psychological satisfaction. Be a company with a strong sense of value, and then those who are congenial to you will naturally be attracted.

6, don't always want to keep employees

From my heart, of course I hope I can keep the backbone in the company, but my sanity tells me that if you want to keep them, the only way is not to try to keep them.

Forget who said this to me: "Your real value will be reflected in your next job." "That's a really good thing. I've looked at a lot of successful people in the workplace and most of them have been in a few different jobs before they get the job. Changing a company is often the fastest and most effective way to upgrade ranks.

Everyone wants to be successful, they want to get ahead, you can't stop your employees from thinking that way. The more excellent the employee, the harder it is for you to keep him, because his choice can be many. Since can not stay, simply do not think about that thing, the achievement of an employee as your work success. At least when you do this, you can inspire the enthusiasm of his work in your company, which is enough for you.

The only way to keep employees is because the company is growing faster than the individual growth rate. Wages, options, and contracts are not important.

7, send 1.5 People's wages, dry 2 people's work

I don't need to explain that much.
