A short story about "human resource management"

In a rural area of America, there lived an old man who had three sons. Both the eldest son and the second son work in the city, the youngest son is with him, and the father and son live alone.

Suddenly one day, a man found the old man and said to him, "Dear old man, I want to take your little son to work in the city?"

The old man said angrily, "no, absolutely not." Get out! "

This man said, "if I find a date for your son in the city, is it okay?"

The old man shook his head: "No, get out!"

The man added, "What if I find Rockefeller's daughter for your son, your future daughter-in-law?"

The old man thought and thought, and finally let his son become Rockefeller's son-in-law.

A few days later, the man found Rockefeller, the richest oil king in America, and said to him, "Dear Mr. Rockefeller, I want to find someone for your daughter?"

Rockefeller said, "Get out!"

The man added, "If the person I am looking for for your daughter, that is, your future son-in-law, is the vice president of the World Bank, is that all right?"

Rockefeller still agreed.

A few days later, the man found the president of the World Bank and said to him, "Dear Mr. President, you should appoint a vice president at once!" " "

The president said: "impossible, there are so many vice presidents here, why should I appoint a vice president, and it must be done right away?"

"If the vice president you appointed is Rockefeller's son-in-law, is that okay?"

Of course, the president agreed.

Although this is a short story, it is the best way for contemporary entrepreneurs to allocate resources!

A ferry carrying passengers from many countries slowly left the dock. When the ferry sailed to the middle of the river, the captain suddenly found that due to overload, the ferry began to tilt and could not return to the dock or move on. The only way is to let a few people jump off the boat and lighten the load, otherwise the boat will sink and everyone will be in born to die.

The captain first found a Japanese and told him, "The ship is going to sink, and the only way to escape is to swim across it. It is a dead end to stay on board." The Japanese who escaped skillfully and shrewdly jumped without hesitation.

The captain also told the French: "Don't be afraid, you can imagine that your diving posture must be beautiful."

The Frenchman, whose vanity was satisfied, jumped with joy.

The captain found another German and said to him seriously, "This is the need to observe discipline!" " "The German jumped down with a face of serious.

Finally, the captain found an American who didn't want to jump. The captain told him, "Don't worry, we have bought you insurance of $654.38+$00,000." As a result, Americans jumped willingly.

The captain's brother is really amazing, and he can make these four people jump willingly.

Of course, a joke is still a joke after all, the actual probability is very low, and you must not sit in the right position, so as not to cause "international disputes."

After mastering the different basic characteristics of passengers in these four countries, the captain successfully persuaded them to skydive voluntarily, and the differences in culture, personality, background and values are often the fundamental factors that form these characteristics.

Similarly, in enterprise management, the characteristics of each employee are different. As a manager, we should adopt different management methods according to the characteristics of employees, not across the board. In enterprises, to do a good job in management, we must understand the different characteristics of each employee in order to carry out effective management.

For example, some employees are introverted, inarticulate, meticulous and sensitive; Some people are extroverted, articulate and careless; Some are complacent and unwilling to give up, but it is inevitable that they will not bear too much responsibility; Others pursue challenges and self-achievement, which inevitably leads to high expectations.

Look at these two sides, there is no absolute good or bad. It depends on whether it is suitable for this job, such as data statistics and data entry, which are more suitable for employees with meticulous and sensitive characteristics, while market development and cooperative negotiation are more suitable for employees who pursue challenges and are extroverted.

An inch long, but a foot short. Only by understanding the characteristics of employees and making reasonable arrangements for their work by taking advantage of their characteristics can employees be happy to accept their work.
