Blogger Review
Three ambits two six Wang Guowei's "human words" the wrote scholarly research. The source said: "the ancient and modern into big business, University asked, shall pass through the realm of three kinds of. 'last night the west wind withered Bishu, alone on the high-rises, at Tianya road', the first exit is also; 'increasingly wide eventually not regret, pining away', that is the second stage; 'he found in the thousands of degrees, back Mojian, that is the lights', the third boundary also. For these three words, not experience before, now there's experience. Because the working relationship, he has been trying to decipher what is management, and tried to get the efficiency of organization or enterprise should return from management, as far as possible the press organization performance.
This book has also seen a lot, Zheng Guofan, Mintzberg, Drucker, but the only way, linear thinking in science and engineering, and fit in the organization and management. I forced myself to read a lot, things did not write it down, but found that these management master many common views, these things are very simple, very concise, and many of them are themselves before know or other predecessors emphasize repeatedly. But I didn't believe it was as simple as that, psychological face a way, I don't believe so important secret, others will easily give you say.
Always, always believe that idiot like what is the secret of this world, whether it is to other EMBA to be resourceful. Entrepreneurs ask students master learning, or repeatedly to study Chinese and foreign masters level of speech and writings. Try to learn in order to practise, like martial arts novels written by the existence of a supreme martial arts cheats, as long as the learning can become the world master.
Today after the master's works, and found that there is no such thing as a, is still seen in the first time, leaders or senior touch on lightly content, and disappointed, only see light suddenly. In the process of learning and management of the road, very confused and hardships, they take a lot of repeat mistakes, hope to have the pleasure of seeing this message, brothers and sisters, do not waste a lot of time. Management is actually the product and life, and management is not fixed, not because you read a few books, eat a few years can be well management. Management and investment is the same, the vast majority of time in understanding and against humanity.
Therefore, management it is "paper come Zhongjue shallow, no matter known to practice". Our experience or books style summary, management is not obtained from books to the. Don't expect to see, you can manage a company to become a manager. To compare with the chivalric fiction novel plot, why the final master in Wudang and Shaolin? Because, Wudang and Shaolin martial arts from life, are summed up from practical experience. Wudang Kung Fu is from standing agricultural ways of training; and the Shaolin martial arts karma fate in ordinary physical labor. So from the daily experience and understanding of human nature to realize different organizations and different object management.
Today, after watching "the practice of management", and recalled the Haier Zhang Ruimin in front of recommendation written words, is the best practice management framework.
