one

Wilson is the founder of Holiday Inn. Once, Wilson was having dinner with an employee. An employee picked up an orange and ate it directly. It turned out that this employee was highly myopic and mistook oranges for apples. In order to hide his embarrassment, he had to pretend to be indifferent and swallow it, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

The next day, Wilson invited the staff to dinner again. The food and fruit were the same as yesterday. Seeing everyone here, Wilson picked up an orange and took a bite like the employee yesterday. They looked at it and began to have dinner with Wilson. As a result, everyone found that this orange was completely different from yesterday's. It's a simulated orange made of other ingredients. It tastes sweet and fragrant! Just as everyone was having fun, Wilson suddenly announced, "From tomorrow on, Allah will be my assistant!" " "Everyone was shocked and thought the boss's decision was abrupt.

At this moment, Wilson said, "Yesterday, everyone saw someone eating orange peel by mistake. Only Allah didn't laugh at him, but sent a glass of juice. Today, seeing me repeat yesterday's mistakes, he is also the only one who has not followed suit. Isn't it the best assistant not to hurt colleagues like this and not blindly follow the leadership? "

The philosophy of this story:

The key to leadership lies in being good at "knowing people", especially in some naturally revealed details, whether you can carefully observe everyone and find real "talents".

Li Bingzhe, the founder of South Korea's Samsung Group, came from a poor family when he was a child. In order to make a living, he had to sell newspapers to earn money since he was a child.

"How many newspapers do you want to order from me a day to sell?" The newsstand owner asked the boy in rags. "How much can other children sell?" He asked shyly. The boss smiled and said, "You can't say that you can sell hundreds of copies by selling dozens, but you will lose money if you keep too many." Li Bingzhe thought for a moment and said, "That's 100!" The boss was a little surprised, but he gave it to him anyway.

Early the next morning, Li Bingzhe came to the newsstand empty-handed. The boss asked in wonder, "Where are the remaining newspapers yesterday?" "Sold out. I want 200 copies today. " Li Bingzhe replied. The boss was surprised, but he gave it to him anyway. On the third day early in the morning, Li Bingzhe came empty-handed and asked for 300 copies. The boss was surprised and decided to follow him and see how he sold newspapers. When Li Bingzhe arrived at the station, he didn't peddle around like other children, but kept stuffing newspapers into the waiting passengers' hands, and didn't come back to collect money until the passengers in an area had finished distributing them. Then go to another place to do the same thing.

The boss asked doubtfully, "Will someone run away without giving money?" "Yes, but rarely, because they read my newspaper and are embarrassed to cheat a child of newspaper money. Compared with those newsboys with newspapers in their hands, I still sell the most in the general ledger! " Li Bingzhe answered confidently. The boss immediately looked at him with new eyes.

The philosophy of this story:

The first mission of an enterprise is to acquire customers, and profit is the inevitable result afterwards. The two must not be misplaced. Otherwise, you can only make a deal after the sweetness. Taking the first place is definitely not a strategy, but an attitude and even a kind of wisdom.

In a small city in the north, an aquarium opened, and the new tickets for 50 yuan made people who wanted to visit it flinch. The aquarium has been open for a year and is almost empty.

Finally, investors who were eager to use money sold the aquarium "cheaply" and returned to the south. After the new owner entered the aquarium, he advertised on TV and newspapers, looking for golden ideas to bring the aquarium back to life. One day, a female teacher came to the aquarium. She told the manager that she could make the aquarium business better.

According to her practice, a month later, the aquarium was full of tourists every day,13 children, and 2/3 parents took their children. Three months later, the loss-making aquarium began to make a profit.

The content of the new advertisement for Aquarium is very simple, with only 12 words: "All children visit the Aquarium for free".

The philosophy of this story:

The only way to get profits from customers is to meet their needs. Is this nonsense? However, we can see businesses that only want to charge customers and ignore the core demands of customers everywhere. Satisfying customers' core demands and pleasing the people they care about most, even if it seems free, will also usher in rolling financial resources. Business is so interesting.

But at this moment, Allen's wife is about to give birth. At this juncture, he doesn't know whether to take time off to take care of his wife. That morning, Allen was informed that the new boss Murdoch would hold a meeting for everyone.

At the beginning of the meeting, Murdoch stood on the stage and talked about his newspaper experience and prospects for the future. Allen seems to be listening carefully, but in fact he was on pins and needles, just wanting to know his wife's situation quickly. At this time, there was a ringing telephone bell in the conference room, and everyone stared at the emergency phone in the corner. Murdoch stopped helplessly and signaled the person next to him to answer the phone.

"It's the hospital, saying it's urgent to find Allen!" After that, Allen got up nervously and explained to Murdoch on the stage: "I'm worried that my wife is going to have a baby. I am really sorry. " Murdoch nodded with a smile, motioned for Allen to pick it up quickly, and then whispered to others, "Since it's his family's business, let's leave for the time being." Then he took the lead and went out.

An unexpected scene happened. More than 65,438+000 colleagues left the conference room in turn and didn't come back until Allen answered the phone. Murdoch returned to the podium and said to Allen, "Thank you for creating more time for me to think more clearly about the future of newspapers." He ended the meeting with the shortest words, then approached Allen and said, "Now you can take care of your wife." Thirty years later, Allen became the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, but this seemingly casual event remained in his mind.

Excellent leaders are good at rallying people's hearts, and after acquiring talents, they can guide and stimulate their potential, and the foundation of all this lies in winning people's hearts first. To do this, we must first sincerely respect our "talents". You can have what you really believe.
