Heart-oriented

if you are a business owner, what kind of employees do you want to have?

if you are a manager, what kind of subordinates do you want to have?

if you are a cross-team project leader, what kind of team members do you want to work with?

If you change the answer to a unified standard, regardless of the ability factor, it should be that you want those who are of one mind to work together, and "think in one place and work hard in one place" is what many people dream of.

in real work, we often hear similar slogans, especially the slogan of "people-oriented". It seems that anyone who doesn't engage in such slogans is embarrassed to talk about his own business or work, but the slogan of "people-oriented" in many enterprises is just a slogan, which is a formalism. If we say one thing and do another, all slogans will be useless, and eventually enterprises will not be able to prosper for a long time.

Mr. kazuo inamori, the god of Japanese business, put forward in his business philosophy that "business should be heart-oriented" and constantly publicized his altruistic business ideas. In the end, most employees joined him to create two Fortune 5 companies, and rescued JAL from bankruptcy at the age of 78. It took only one year to turn losses into profits, which is a miracle that few people in the world can match.

why do you insist on taking the heart as the foundation? The author thinks that this problem can be explained from Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is one of the theories of humanistic science, which was put forward by American psychologist abraham maslow in his paper "Theory of Human Motivation" in 1943. The book divides human needs from low to high like a ladder into five levels, namely: physiological needs, security needs, social needs, respect needs and self-realization needs.

different people have different needs at different stages, so both business owners and managers should always pay attention to the mentality of employees, put themselves in their shoes, and their hearts will be tied to the enterprise, which can be said to be a state of glory and loss.

As the saying goes, "Brothers are United, and their profits will be cut off" also emphasizes taking the heart as the foundation, rather than people as the foundation in general. Taking the heart as the foundation requires adhering to the principle of altruism without self, trying to get rid of one's own selfish desires and do things for the society and others, so that others will feel the same way, stand with you, share weal and woe, and achieve great cause.

"If you win, you will raise a glass to celebrate, and if you lose, you will be desperate to save each other" is Huawei's team spirit, and it is also an example that modern enterprises should learn from. You can also have such team spirit and culture by sticking to the heart.
