During the exercise, there was always one soldier who stood under the barrel of artillery and remained motionless. After inquiry, the answer is: exercise regulations is such a provision. Originally, the ordinance follows the rules of the era of cannons. The task of the soldiers standing under the barrels at that time was to pull the horse's reins so as to prevent distance discrepancies caused by recoil forces after launch, and to reduce the time for re-targeting.

Only each employee has their own job responsibilities clear, it will not produce the Selection Committee, wrangling and other undesirable phenomena. If the company is like a huge machine, then every employee is a part, and only if they love their jobs and dedication can the company's machines work well. The company is developing, managers should make timely adjustments to the number and division of labor according to the actual dynamic situation. Otherwise, there will be "non-horse soldiers" in the ranks. If there are some people in the team, they will not only bring the loss of wages to the enterprise, but also lead to the psychological imbalance of other personnel, which eventually leads to the overall decrease in the efficiency of the company.

If the same day the monk entered the monastery to understand the standard and importance of the impact bells, I think he would not be dismissed from work because of sabotaging. Work standards are guidelines and assessment of employee behavior. The lack of work standards often results in the staff's direction of efforts and the company's overall development direction is not uniform, resulting in a lot of manpower and material resources waste. Due to the lack of reference material, employees who have been working for a long time are prone to complacency, resulting in slackening of work.

We often make the mistake: Before we have time to finish our own business, follow us Experience greatly commented and directed. If you are not the leader, would you think back and you will do it? Interrupting your language makes easy one-sided decisions and, on the other hand, leaving employees with a lack of respect. Over time, men will no longer have the interest to feed back to the superior level of real information. Feedback system was cut off, leadership has become a "loner" in the decision-making has become "blind."
