In the feudal times, in order to consolidate their rule, the rulers used people's fear of the gods to call themselves the son of heaven. They used the name of heaven to implement their own rule, and put their own rule in the guise of law. I have acted according to the will of heaven. If you resist me, you will fight against heaven. Wait for thunder. People are at the mercy of rulers out of their belief in gods and awe of nature. It can be seen that people have attached great importance to the role of power and authorization since ancient times.
For example, we can say that Zhuge Liang is a hero of his generation. His works such as the battle of Chibi have been widely read by the world, which shows his superhuman wisdom and courage. However, he made every effort to do everything in his own hands, and even "self proofread books". He died young because of overwork, leaving many feelings for later generations. Although Zhuge Liang devoted himself to Shu Han, he was the first to die. This has something to do with Zhuge Liang's poor authorization. If Zhuge Liang reasonably authorized his subordinates to deal with many trivial matters, but only devoted himself to the military affairs and the way of governing the country, how could he have worked hard and died, leading to Liu Bei's Baidi city becoming empty, and ah Dou destroying the great cause?
From Zhuge Liang, we can sum up the cognitive factors that hinder authorization as follows: distrust of subordinates, fear of weakening their authority, fear of losing honor, overestimating their own importance, etc. But the question is: can centralization solve these problems effectively? "All roads lead to Rome". As long as the problems can be solved effectively, leaders need not deal with complicated affairs, but should authorize their subordinates to deal with them. Perhaps in the process, subordinates can create more scientific and better solutions. For example, is it only by controlling the authority in your own hands that you can avoid losing control? Tan Xiaofang believes that, in fact, as long as communication and coordination are maintained, the possibility of losing control is very small, such as "key meeting system", "written report system" and "management report".
In today's enterprises, the wise leaders should pay more attention to the reasonable authorization of subordinates and improve the organizational efficiency. For example, some tourism companies have just transformed from husband and wife shops, and their leaders have a strong sense of small-scale farmers. The pain of delegating power is second only to allowing them to pay welfare and raise wages. Due to the limited knowledge and level, some of the more professional things are still handed over to professionals to operate. If you don't understand, you will not let go of your power.
What's more, some people describe the crowded office of the boss of private enterprises as "expert clinic", and many people are waiting for reports, instructions and signatures. Once the boss is not in the enterprise for a period of time, then a lot of work in the enterprise will stop. Because without the consent of the boss and the signature of the boss, no one has the right to do it, nor dare to do it, for fear that he can not bear the responsibility. So, I'd rather let work stop or drag Let's imagine, from the development strategy of an enterprise to a pencil and a flower plant of a small enterprise, the boss must do everything in his own hands. The boss spends all his energy and time in these daily affairs. How can he have the time and energy to think about the company's development strategy? How about maintaining and expanding foreign relations? How about expanding the business market? For example, I have repeatedly interrupted the chairman of a tourism enterprise when communicating with the chairman of a tourism enterprise. The reason is that there are constantly subordinates who want to come in and ask him to sign for approval. One time, more than ten people came in and had something to approve. However, it was later learned that many of the reports that needed to be approved were just to apply for a pen.
Therefore, if an enterprise wants to achieve its strategic objectives and implement the formal management of corporatization, leaders must change their consciousness, dare to authorize and be willing to authorize.
Jack Welch has a classic saying: "less is good." However, the effect of 1000% management may not be surprising if we listen to it carefully.
In practice, without support and authorization, any system will not be carried out smoothly. In tourism companies, the old subordinates of the general manager follow their relatives, and they are often the saboteurs and obstructionists of the system. In the face of a supervisor, manager, fengjiang officials, how can a small executive serve them? As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on its owner. If you are in a bad mood, you can let him go. If this goes on for a long time, the system will not become a system. With the support and authorization of the general manager and the Shangfang sword, Whoever violates the system will act according to the rules and kill a few chickens. You will not be frightened by their blood! In this way, other employees have nothing to say and the company system can be implemented smoothly. Of course, sticks are necessary. Carrots are indispensable, aren't they? What are the benefits of effective authorization for enterprises? Tan Xiaofang believes that there are two points:
1. Through effective authorization, the delegator can easily decompose the huge enterprise / organization goals to different people, and transfer the responsibility to more people to share the responsibility, so that each staff member of the team can work more purposefully, responsibly, devote more and more creatively, so as to produce the great power of "four two dial a thousand catties" and the cooperation of "nine cattle climbing the slope, each contributing" Spirit.
The sense of self-reliance of the leaders is enhanced from the sense of empowerment to the sense of responsibility, and the sense of self-control is enhanced from the sense of empowerment to effective management. Effective authorization has brought high incentive level, efficient team and excellent performance. So, is there any secret of enterprise authorization to master quickly? According to tan Xiaofang, the main points are as follows:
1. Based on trust: trust is the basic basis of authorization. If there is no trust, authorization is impossible. If you don't have enough trust in the person you're going to delegate, it's best not to delegate.
2. Scope of authorization: the degree of authorization is an important factor in authorization. Too little authorization will cause the manager to work too much and the enthusiasm of subordinates will be frustrated; excessive authorization will lead to disorderly work, the manager will give up his duty and make the management out of control.
3. Consistency of rights and responsibilities: the premise of authorization is to clarify responsibilities, which is also the premise of doing well in authorization feedback and control. The delegator must make clear the objectives and scope of the authorized items to the authorized person, clarify the authorized person's rights and corresponding obligations and responsibilities, and avoid duplication in authorization.
Authorization is an important part of enterprise management and an art that enterprise leaders should learn and master.
