Control And Counter Control Of The Boss

I think a

For thousands of years, there has been a special group in China, which leads the people around the Office (such as the inner court or the eunuch of the ancient imperial palace) serving as the leading body. Now it is called the Secretary, the office director and so on. He says that he is special because he serves the leaders directly, and is close to the leading core, and their lives are mostly accompanied by conspiracy and controversy.

The theory of leadership points out that power has two main sources: one is the power person, the other is the person close to power, that is, the leader.

So the leader of the side as a source of power, in fact, exists with the leader of another source of power to fight for power.

And the way of competition may be different. It is to provide leaders with comprehensive services, and to make leaders feel comfortable and gradually accept this kind of service by providing services for leaders (including making suggestions and providing information filtered for leaders), and gradually becoming dependent. Ultimately, the leaders themselves are tired of thinking or being isolated by their attentive services and meticulous isolation. Their ability to think independently and so on gradually decreases, and the situation of grassroots managers is becoming less and less understood. The actual controller of the organization has changed, and the power has changed between the two sources.

There are two kinds of situations that lead the staff to control their power. Generally speaking, the leaders themselves are weak in ability. From the very beginning, they rely on the people around them to provide services to manage the organization well. Two, the leaders are strong in their original abilities, but later, with the increasingly close service of their staff, they themselves can not keep pace with the times, and their ability is weakening. Finally, the leader of the power becomes the power dependent person.

We look at the history of history. Throughout history, the founding fathers of a country or the initiator of an organization, through the early efforts and sharpening, have acquired a perfect ability and skills. These people often have the ability to be too human, too broad minded and independent in thinking. At this time, they generally do not have strong attachment to their staff members, and the staff around them also provide some life services. They can not participate in the core of power. Most of the founding fathers in history are like this. At this time, the eunuchs Hanoi waitresses are hard to enter the core of power.

With the increase of the successor algebra, the leader's successor's ability may be weakened. At this time, they often make up their minds when facing complex problems and difficult situations. The most direct and convenient channel is to ask the staff around them. In the past, their dependence has been increasing, their ability has not increased, even their original ability has begun to weaken.

Of course, many successors also have the ability to be very outstanding, and pay attention to not relying on their staff, organizations and individuals have developed very well, such as the Chongqing municipal Party committee secretary Bo Xilai and so on.

Moreover, due to the meticulous care and service of the staff around us, leaders often do not need or need to master some new knowledge and skills. In this way, the leaders themselves will decrease their living ability in the future. After 20 years of retirement, a leader of my unit, Yu Tian said, "when we talk about feelings, we are used to being" spoiled "by the staff. Now retired, even some basic skills of life have to be studied now, and it is very unaccustomed to them. What is more serious is that because of the lack of learning and understanding of new skills and new knowledge, the leader is very difficult to emancipate the mind and keep pace with the times.

How do they control leaders and let power shift?

Even if the leader himself is very strong, the leaders around him are very close to power. They are just in a state of being hungry and thirsty for power. They have a clear understanding of the benefits of power and become more and more obsessed with power.

The best, the most effective and the most concealed means is to provide the leaders with "intimate service" step by step into the core level of power, and to provide some basic services to the leaders in real time. They have the opportunity to provide the leaders with some "dispensable information". When the leaders feel that the information is still useful, they may take the initiative to ask the people around to collect more useful information. Finally, they may rely on the people around them to make their decisions directly. In the end, the leaders rely on the people around them for information and consultation to make decisions. Their ability to survive and think constantly decreases, and the stronger the dependence is, the vicious circle is formed. Finally, they are controlled by the people around them and the power is pferred completely. Then

Moreover, because this process is a leadership service for the coat, to help the leaders to make decisions, it is perfectly justifiable, and its corrosiveness and concealment are incomparable with other means. In addition, psychologically, when leaders accept such intimate service, they will produce a sense of guilt, so even if the staff around them sometimes have some extreme and erroneous behaviors, leaders will often forgive and neglect.

Therefore, even though the feudal society in the history clearly stipulated that eunuchs and waitresses should not interfere in the affairs of the state, the reality is that many eunuchs and waitresses have become the powerful ministers of the right field. This shows how terrible this service is. It shows how strong the service is, and how strong the service is.

Such an organization, because the leaders around them become the actual controllers of power, and their goals often do not promote the long-term and healthy development of the organization (because they are not good enough, so they lack motivation), and the driving force for their own interests is very strong. The fate of their organizations can be imagined, which is why most of the late dynasties in history had such a situation.

Of course, even if the service of the staff around the leader is motivated by good intentions and selfish purposes, the effect will remain the same.

How to control the leader?

In fact, the most effective way for leaders to resist control is to resist the temptation of such services, to recognize the true purpose of their beautiful cloak, to maintain their relative independence of thinking, and to maintain the diversity of their sources of information.

In a concrete way, it is to separate people who are close to the leader from those who provide information and decision support, so that people who provide information and decision support are not the people around them and keep their sources of diversity. The people around them mainly provide general life and pactional services instead of decision-making and providing information services, so the separation between them can effectively maintain their relative independence and information reliability.

In this way, leaders themselves can not make decisions even in many cases, but because supporters are at the periphery of rights, plus such support from multiple departments, they can not monopolize, ensure their relative independence, and continuously improve their decision-making ability in the process, and eventually become an organization that prevents the highest decision-makers in fact.

Last but not least, it is not only the individual, but also the relationship between the organization and the organization and between the organization and the individual. In the age of planned economy, the organization is responsible for everything for the individual, resulting in a strong dependence on the organization.

In recent years, home appliances and other manufacturing industries began to rely on retail enterprises to sell their products for the sake of "saving worry" and "saving money". With the expansion of the retail industry, the sales ability of home appliance manufacturers has been lost, which is controlled by retail enterprises.

In the same way, our supermarket joint ventures of fresh produce, on the face of it, all "burdens" are handed over to the consortium, and they make money easily, but this kind of relaxation is exchanged at the cost of future profits and credibility, or even survival.

On the contrary, the automobile manufacturers began to see clearly the essence of this problem. Therefore, automobile manufacturers now prefer to "trouble themselves", from training 4S salesmen to car sales and service process formulation, and so on, rather than simply letting the sellers do it, because they are not afraid of this "trouble", making the auto manufacturing industry a small number of manufacturing industries that are not controlled by retailers.

In short, we must understand a core principle: today's comfort and relaxation are exchanged at the expense of tomorrow's freedom and profits and even survival conditions. For the long-term development of the organization, leaders, please give up more ease, more hardship and more autonomy. In this way, whether individuals or organizations can be independent, continuous improvement and core competitiveness for a long time, even in this way, your old age will be more independent and happy.
