10 ancient poems and 10 management methods are a living management tutorial!

What I want to say is what Western management we are currently studying, the management ideas proposed by Western management masters, and the planning, organization, control, and leadership management functions. These were all invented by the Chinese. , do you believe it? If you don’t believe it, please take a look at the following classic ancient poems to see if they are all so-called modern management ideas!

1. Plan management: Everything will be done if it is planned in advance, otherwise it will be ruined.

Source "Book of Rites: Doctrine of the Mean": "Everything will be successful if it is forewarned, and it will be ruined if it is not forewarned." Planning is an important function of modern management. "Everything is done beforehand, otherwise it will be ruined" emphasizes the importance of planning. Enterprise operations are inseparable from a complete planning system, including sales plans, marketing plans, human resources plans, production plans, production capacity plans, financial plans, etc. Moreover, these planning systems are interlocked and mutually supportive. For example, if your sales plan is to increase by 100% compared to the previous fiscal year, then your human resources plan must keep up with whether you need to recruit new employees, whether your production capacity needs to be doubled, and whether purchasing funds can be put in place.

2. Management tools: If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

The words come from "The Analects of Confucius·Wei Linggong": Zigong asked for benevolence. Confucius said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If you live in a country, you should be a wise man who serves its officials, and a benevolent friend of its scholars." In management, if you can use the tools reasonably, you will receive benefits. Get twice the result with half the effort. For example, the application of modern information technology can greatly improve our work efficiency. However, if you are good at using tools, you should not be burdened by them. For example, in the application of information technology, you may follow the trend of others without considering the actual situation of your own company. If you watch others use ERP, you will also use it yourself. However, if you cannot use it effectively, the tools become just a showpiece. , furnishings.

3. Strategic management: Don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain.

This is Su Shi's famous line through the ages, from "Inscribed on the Wall of the Western Forest". For high-level decision-makers of enterprises, in order to coordinate the overall situation, they should have a big blueprint in their minds instead of just looking at what is happening. Only in this way can the enterprise strategically move in the right direction. At the same time, as a manager, when looking at problems, you cannot be limited to the prison of thinking. You must know how to jump out of the problem and look at the problem from the perspective of a bystander, and not be too subjective.

4. Knowledge management: A clear mirror reflects the shape, and the past can inform the present.

This sentence comes from the seventy-fifth volume of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". The knowledge wealth of enterprises is accumulated in management practices. Enterprises must be good at summarizing past successes and failures, learning from successes and learning from failures. Moreover, these experiences and lessons should be summarized and summarized to form an explicit knowledge system for the enterprise, and then this knowledge should be applied to future enterprise operations.

5. Communication: There is no colorful phoenix flying wings in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart.

"There is no colorful phoenix flying in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart." This is a famous saying left by Li Shangyin through the ages. Having a clear understanding in the heart can be said to be the highest state of communication. Communication ability is an essential ability for managers. Good communication is conducive to establishing and improving interpersonal relationships, and provides an important means for managers to succeed. Communication runs through almost every aspect of the management process. It can be said that the success or failure of communication will determine the success or failure of the company's operations.

6. Dynamic management: Flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year.

"The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year" comes from "The Sadness of the Age" written by Liu Xiyi in the Tang Dynasty. The biggest feature of the current business environment is its dynamic nature. Demand changes rapidly, and it is difficult for you to predict future demand. "The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year" is a vivid portrayal of the current market dynamics. So in a rapidly changing dynamic environment, how to adapt to the environment and quickly adjust corporate operations according to environmental changes has become the key to corporate success. In order to cope with the dynamic nature of the environment, the concepts of flexible management and elastic management are currently proposed, and production has also changed from the previous single-variety mass production to multi-variety small-batch production. In the era of information economy, the dynamic nature of the environment will intensify, and it is imperative to establish a dynamic management mechanism.

7. Cost management: Looking back at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success was achieved through diligence and frugality, and prosperity was destroyed through luxury.

"Looking at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success is due to diligence and thrift, and success is due to extravagance" comes from Li Shangyin's "Two Ode to History Part 2", which has a great enlightenment effect on cost management.

Corporate wealth is both earned and saved. Saving money has a very important leverage effect. Every penny you save can be converted into a direct net benefit. Successful companies are those that are good at controlling costs. Once, while watching an interview program with the CEO of Xiamen Airlines, he joked that he was a "Luhua". Why? He laughs at himself that he is an expert in squeezing, and is so frugal that every time he stays in a hotel, he has to take away the endless paper towels provided by the hotel. What kind of thrifty consciousness is this!

8. Quality management: make further progress by making further progress.

From a small perspective, quality is the basis for the survival of an enterprise. From a larger perspective, quality is related to the life and death of a country and national honor. Think about it, why have we repeatedly failed to boycott Japanese goods? If our toilet seats and rice cookers exceed their quality level, do we still have to deliberately boycott them? And quality management requires continuous improvement. It is more appropriate to use the phrase "one step further to make further progress" in quality management. "The head of a pole with a hundred feet is a step forward" comes from Volume 10 of "Jingde Chuan Deng Lu" written by Shi Daoyuan of the Song Dynasty: "The teacher showed a verse: 'The head of a pole with a hundred feet does not move people, although it is not true. The head of a pole with a hundred feet must be moved. Progress, the world of the ten directions is the whole body. '"

9. Risk management: Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be prepared for danger.

Our ancestors had a strong sense of risk management, but now risk management seems to have become something imported from foreign countries. In the "Book of Changes", China's oldest cultural classic, there is a sense of risk such as "walking on frost, the ice will come". That is to say, when there is frost under your feet, you should think that ice is not far away. Pre-Qin Dynasty Zuo Qiuming's "Zuo Zhuan·Xiang Gong Eleventh Year": "The Book says: "Be prepared for danger when you are in peace, and you will be prepared if you are thinking, and you will be prepared and safe" which further reflects the idea of ??risk management.

10. Team management: "We are in the same boat, we are sailing, and we are sailing thousands of miles."

"Huainanzi. Military Training" shows team management. The importance of teamwork. Teamwork is different from a gang. Although they are all a group of people, a gang is a loose mess, while a team emphasizes teamwork, motivating team members, and strengthening team communication. A required course for managers.

Summary:

Chinese culture is profound and traditional. What is traditional may not be dross, and what is new may not be advanced. We value what is new too much. Western culture and thought have neglected what we have. In the context of the renaissance of Chinese culture, we should work hard on how to tap into the wisdom of traditional culture and absorb the nutrients of traditional culture. Readers, do you have the same experience after reading the article? What other poems related to management can you think of?
