Solve big problems with small incision

The problem that needs to be solved looks quite big, and the breakthrough that can solve the problem may be small. Just like a lock, no matter how big the lock is, the key to open the door is as big as a finger. .

The then Prime Minister of Singapore was Goh Chok Tong. Goh Chok Tong spoke in 2000 at the turn of the century. What kind of goal should Singapore become in the future? Every public toilet must have paper, which is the main direction of our future efforts in Singapore. The strategic goal of our country in the future is to have paper in every toilet.

Did you find it funny at first sight? The strategic goal of the country is to have paper in public toilets.

But think again, do you think this is a trivial matter? No, every public toilet must have paper. It includes education, it includes environment and it includes economic development, right? It is definitely not just the task of the park or public toilet management office. Otherwise, if the Prime Minister said so, I would try to implement it, so I bought a big sheet pile and put it in the public toilet. Therefore, everyone in Singapore will have paper at home.

So if you look at this, there are also public security and sightseeing. It is a very thorough thing, but with a very specific and small core task, I tell you that as long as you complete this task, you will actually grow in other aspects.

Singapore, still in 2000, is a little far. Let's say something closer. Xi 'an, what's the slogan on Xi 'an's street? It's called "Xi 'an is more beautiful if cigarette butts don't fall to the ground". Cigarette butts, are they small?

In fact, the method used is the same as that used in Singapore. Use a specific small action, a small goal to drive a series of reactions.

Do you think small cigarette butts are just for cleaning auntie? Of course not. It can involve a large area.

Littering cigarette butts, keeping up with quality education, is related to education. Cigarette butts don't fall to the ground, and this matter needs publicity, which involves publicity. In order to sweep cigarette butts, there are more cleaners and more jobs.

There are trash cans everywhere to put cigarette butts, so there are more trash cans, and the factories that produce trash cans have greater production capacity, use more steel and get more jobs for workers. In short, the enterprises related to the whole industrial chain have developed, and the economy has also developed?

If cigarette butts don't land, the image of Xi 'an ancient city will be better and the tourism industry will be better.

In a word, a small cigarette butt problem has spurred the development of Xi 'an in many aspects.

You said, these are cities and countries. What can we learn from them?

You see, Singapore says "there is paper in the public toilet" and Xi 'an says "cigarette butts don't fall to the ground". What's wrong with it? Are small and specific.

In fact, we often use, for example, a school graduation thesis and a topic, which are generally not big. But in order to complete this paper, you have to check all the contents you have learned, and then go to the library and the website of professional journals to check all kinds of related documents. Writing such a small topic paper with more than 10,000 words can basically use all the professional knowledge you have learned and many professional knowledge you have not learned.

Have you studied your whole major many times through a small project and applied it?

Now we don't go to school, but we haven't stopped studying. This routine can be used for reference.

In life, we also have some goals. You can use one of your goals, break it down into small details, take a little from it, and then take action to see how it works.

For many of us in the workplace, especially those who have just arrived in a unit, we often encounter the problem of low organizational enthusiasm, which leads to low overall performance. Similarly, we can cultivate a handful of "new people" through "small tasks" to incite the overall atmosphere.

First of all, why train? Because of that new guy. The characteristic of newcomers is that they know nothing about their new positions. Everything you know is what you see, what you hear, or what you write in your job duties. However, the work is what he really wants to do, and it is useless to talk on paper.

Therefore, the small task driver is to let him do it. If he can't handle this big task, it will make him collapse, but it's not good. Small tasks, in addition to familiarizing him with business, can also enhance his confidence, killing two birds with one stone.

What little task? Generally find a point that needs improvement, which is very small. For example, your product has a small flaw from time to time. This is a small problem, and it doesn't affect anything. Only professionals can see it, and ordinary customers don't care. However, it can be improved. You let him do it.

How is he? Don't underestimate such a small flaw. In order to repair it, he must teach the operator how to operate it and how to check it. He may have to find equipment personnel to improve the condition of the equipment, and he may have to find a buyer and try another material. Moreover, he can't just do one thing himself, and he won't be on the production line at any time. He has to coordinate with the quality control to see what the quality control thinks and how much he picks out every day.

Supposedly, what is such a small defect? It's nothing. But let him do it, the product is better; If you can't do it, it won't affect anything. But whether he can do it or not, he already knows how to do it. Even in this process, you can exchange his ideas with him, integrate your ideas and unconsciously instill your ideas into him.

What do you think such a small task can affect? In fact, it has a great influence. Let's give him a few more small tasks to do. After a short period of exercise, these people get enough exercise, can be independent, more capable and more valuable, and their wages will soon increase.

The newcomers trained at this time are motivated, confident and able to raise their wages, which is naturally full of energy. Put him in the crowd, he can drive a few people around him, and through a few people around him, each person drives a few people, and the atmosphere spreads.

How are people around you driven? It's simple. People who are close to themselves probably know what benefits each other has gained and why they are working so hard. So, when others watch it, there is hope subconsciously: hey, if I work hard, I may still have a chance. Desire, has been mobilized. With desire, enthusiasm can be mobilized.

In a word, a problem that looked big in the past may have a small breakthrough. As long as you find the incision you can control, cut it and then tear it, it won't be so difficult.
