Management Story: "Maxima" And "Bucket"

Philosophic story 1982 in, researchers at the University of Wisconsin studied such an interesting experiment when studying the adult learning process.

The researchers set up a group of adult students to form two bowling teams. After a short period of training, the two teams played several games, and the results of the two teams were mutually successful.

The researchers recorded all of the matches and provided the video tapes to two teams so that they could help improve the team's skills by video.

The difference is that the videotapes distributed to two teams use different editing methods.

The video received by the first team is all about their blunders and bad performances in the game; the video tapes received by the second teams are all shown in their glory.

After watching carefully the video tape, the two teams improved their skills to varying degrees.

But in the next few games, the second teams all won the first team with absolute superiority.

From this point of view, the researchers believe that: focusing on mistakes and mistakes, the players are tired, weary, reproached, and resisted. While focusing on the excellent side, the positive emotions such as creativity, passion, self-confidence and desire for success have been greatly improved and mobilized.

There is no doubt that strict management is the essence of the story.

But the biggest misunderstanding of leaders is that they always focus on "fault" on the basis of "strict" and ignore the positive guidance.

A team who is busy correcting mistakes will never be better than a confident and enterprising team.

The two depends on the leader of the team.
