Eight Principles Of Lifelong Benefit

Peter principle

Every organization is made up of different kinds.

Two. Law of wine and sewage

The law of wine and sewage is to pour a spoonful of wine into a bucket of sewage and get a bucket of sewage. If we pour a spoonful of sewage into a bucket of wine, we will get a bucket of sewage.

In any organization, there are almost a few difficult characters. The purpose of their existence seems to be to mess up things.

Worst of all, they are like rotten apples in the fruit box. If they are not handled in time, they will quickly infect and destroy other apples in the fruit box.

The terrible thing about rotten apples lies in its amazing destructive power.

An honest and able person can be engulfed in a chaotic department, and a virtuous person can quickly turn an efficient department into a loose sand.

Organizational systems are often fragile, based on mutual understanding, compromise and tolerance, and are easily violated and poisoned.

Another important reason for the extraordinary ability of saboteurs is that destruction is always easier than construction.

A skilled craftsman spends much time elaborately crafted ceramics, and a donkey can be destroyed in one second.

If there is such a donkey in an organization, even if there are more skilled craftsmen, there will not be much decent work done.

If you have such a donkey in your organization, you should clear it out right away. If you can't do it, you should tie it up.

Three. The law of barrel

The law of the bucket is about how much water a bucket can hold, which depends entirely on its shortest wooden plank.

That is to say, any organization may face a common problem, that is, every part of the organization is often not good and bad, and the inferior part often determines the level of the whole organization.

The law of the barrel is different from the law of wine and sewage. The latter discusses the destructive power in the organization. The shortest plank is a useful part of the organization, but it is worse than the others. You can't throw them away as rotten apples.

Strength and weakness are relative, and cannot be eliminated. The problem is how much you tolerate this weakness. If it is serious enough to become a bottleneck in your work, you will have to act.

Four, Matthew effect

There is a story in the New Testament Matthew: a king before he travels, he gives each of his 3 servants a single piece of silver, and orders, "go and do business, and come back to me when I come back."

When the king came back, the first servant said, master, you have given me a piece of silver, and I have made 10 yuan.

So the king rewarded him for 10 towns.

The second servant reported: Master, you have given me 5 yuan of silver.

So the king rewarded him for 5 towns.

Third the servant reported, "master, you have given me 1 pieces of silver, which I have been wrapped in handkerchiefs for fear of losing.

So the king ordered the 1 servants of the third servants to give the first servant to the first servant and said, "whoever is less, he will take all he has."

All the more, we should give him more and more. This is the Matthew effect, which reflects a common phenomenon in today's society, that is, winner takes all.

For enterprises

In a certain field, it is necessary to keep looking for new areas of development so as to ensure better returns.

Five, zero sum game principle

Zero sum game refers to a game where players lose and win. One side wins, the other loses. The total score of the game is always zero. The principle of zero sum game is widely concerned. The main reason is that people can find similar situations with zero sum games in all aspects of society. The glory of the loser is often hidden behind the glory of the winner.

In twentieth Century, mankind experienced two world wars, rapid economic growth, scientific and technological progress, global integration and increasingly serious environmental pollution. The concept of zero sum game was gradually replaced by a win-win concept.

People began to realize that profits should not be built on the basis of human losses.

Through effective cooperation, happy ending is possible.

But from zero sum game to win win, it requires all sides to have the spirit of sincere cooperation and courage. In cooperation, do not be smart, do not always want to occupy other people's petty advantages, abide by the rules of the game, otherwise the win-win situation will not happen, and ultimately the losers are the partners themselves.

Six. The law of cooperation in Washington

The law of cooperation in Washington says that one person is perfunctory, the two are pushing each other away, and the three are never done.

It is somewhat similar to the story of our three monks.

Cooperation between people is not a simple addition to manpower, but rather more complicated and subtle.

In this cooperation, assuming that each person's ability is 1, then the cooperation between 10 people is sometimes much more than 10 times, sometimes even smaller than 1.

Because human beings are not static things, but more like energy in different directions, and when they push each other, they achieve twice as much result and conflict with each other and accomplish nothing at all.

In our traditional management theory, there is not much research on cooperation. The most direct reflection is that most of the current management systems and behaviors are devoted to reducing unnecessary consumption of manpower, rather than using organizations to improve human efficiency.

In other words, the main purpose of management is not to make everyone better, but to avoid excessive internal consumption.

Seven. Watch theorem

Watch theorem is that when a person has a watch, he can know what time it is now. When he has two watches at the same time, he can not be sure.

Two watches can not tell a person more accurate time, but will make the watch lose confidence in the right time.

The theorem of watches gives us a very intuitive inspiration in the management of enterprises, that is, the management of the same person or the same organization can not adopt two different methods at the same time, and can not set two different goals at the same time. Even everyone can not be commanded by two people at the same time, otherwise, the enterprise or the person will not know what to do.

Another meaning of the watch theorem is that no one can choose two different values at the same time, otherwise your behavior will be in chaos.

Eight. Mushroom management

Mushroom management is a management method for many organizations to treat beginners. Beginners are placed in a dark corner (an unimportant department, or a work of errands and errands).

I believe that many people have experienced such a mushroom experience. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Especially when everything is just beginning, mushrooms can remove many unrealistic fantasies and bring us closer to reality.

An organization generally treats the new employees equally, and there is no big difference from starting salary to work.

No matter how talented you are, at the very beginning, you can only start with the simplest things. The experience of mushrooms is like cocoons for growing young people. It is a step that must be experienced before emergence.

Therefore, how to effectively walk through this section of life, learn from it as much as possible, mature and set up a good and reliable personal image is a topic that every young person who has just entered the society must face.
