20 world-famous laws

In the 1970s, an American meteorologist named Lorenz explained the theory of air system, saying that the wings of a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest occasionally vibrate, which may trigger a tornado in Texas within two weeks.

Butterfly effect refers to a very small change in initial conditions, which will have a great impact on its future state after continuous amplification. Some small things can be confused, and some small things are very important to an organization and a country if they are amplified by the system, so we can't confuse them.

2. Frog effect

Put a frog directly into the hot pot. Because it is very sensitive to bad environment, it will jump out of the pot quickly. If you put a frog in a cold water pot and heat it slowly, the frog will not jump out of the pot at once. The final result of the rising water temperature is that the frog is boiled to death, because when the water temperature is so high that the frog can't stand, it is too late or can't jump out of the pot.

Frog phenomenon tells us that some emergencies are often easy to arouse people's vigilance, but it is also easy to kill people because they feel good about themselves and gradually worsen the actual situation without conscious awareness.

3. Crocodile principle

Suppose the crocodile bit your foot. If you try to get rid of your feet with your hands, crocodiles will bite your feet and hands at the same time. The more you struggle, the more you get bitten. So, in case a crocodile bites your foot, your only way is to sacrifice one foot.

For example, in the stock market, the crocodile principle is that when you find that your trading deviates from the direction of the market, you must stop immediately, without any delay or luck.

4. Catfish effect

In the past, the survival rate of sardines in transportation was very low. Later, it was found that if a catfish was put in sardines, the situation would be improved and the survival rate would be greatly improved. Why is this?

It turns out that catfish will be "impatient" and wander around when they arrive in a strange environment, which undoubtedly stirs up a large number of quiet sardines; And sardines found such an "alien molecule", which naturally made them nervous and accelerated their swimming speed. In this way, the problem of hypoxia of sardines will be solved, and sardines will not die.

5. Peter principle

6. Hedgehog Rule

Two sleepy hedgehogs huddled together because of the cold. But because each of them had thorns, they kept a distance, but they were too cold to stand, so they got together. After many twists and turns, the two hedgehogs finally found a suitable distance: they can get each other's warmth without getting stuck.

Hedgehog rule mainly refers to the "psychological distance effect" in interpersonal communication.

7. Watch the law

The law of watches means that a person can know what time it is when he has a watch, but he cannot be sure when he has two watches at the same time. Two watches can't tell a person a more accurate time, but will make people who look at the watch lose confidence in the accurate time.

The watch law gives us a very intuitive enlightenment in enterprise management, that is, we can't adopt two different methods for the same person or organization at the same time, we can't set two different goals at the same time, and even everyone can't be commanded by two people at the same time, otherwise the enterprise or individual will be at a loss.

8. broken window theory

9.28 Law (Baledo Law)

1Valledo, an Italian economist at the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, thinks that in any group of things, the most important thing is only a small part, about 20%, and the remaining 80% is secondary, although it is the majority. About 80% of society's wealth is concentrated in 20% of people's hands, while 80% of people only have 20% of social wealth. This kind of statistical imbalance is ubiquitous in society, economy and life, which is the 28 th rule.

The 28 th rule tells us that we should not analyze, deal with and treat problems equally, but should seize the key minority in enterprise management; It is necessary to find out those key customers who can bring 80% profits to enterprises, but only account for 20%, and strengthen services to achieve twice the result with half the effort; Business leaders should carefully classify and analyze their work, and spend their main energy on solving major problems and grasping major projects.

10, cooperative law

1 1, Parkinson's law

An incompetent official may have three outlets. The first is to apply for resignation and give the position to someone who can do it.

12 and 250 laws

Joe girard, a famous American salesman, summed up the 250 rules of commercial warfare. He believes that behind every customer, there will be about 250 relatives and friends. Winning the favor of a customer means winning the favor of 250 people; On the other hand, if you offend one customer, you may offend 250 customers.

13, Murphy's law

Murphy's law originated from an American captain named Murphy. He thinks one of his colleagues is unlucky. He casually said a joke: if something is likely to be screwed up, let him do it and it will be screwed up. Later, this sentence was extended and some other expressions appeared. For example, "if a bad thing is possible, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen and cause the greatest possible loss." If something goes wrong, it will eventually go wrong.

14, mushroom law

Mushroom management is a kind of management mentality of many organizations to treat beginners. Novices are placed in dark corners (departments that nobody cares about, or running errands), poured with a lot of shit (unwarranted criticism, accusations, and generations of people), and left to fend for themselves (without necessary guidance and support).

Unworth 15

Unworth's most intuitive expression is that what is not worth doing is not worth doing well. This law reflects people's psychology: if a person is engaged in something he thinks is not worth it, he will often adopt a cynical and perfunctory attitude. Not only is the success rate small. Even if you succeed, you won't have much sense of accomplishment.

Herd effect 16

In group activities, when the opinions and behaviors of individuals are inconsistent with those of the majority, individuals often give up their opinions and behaviors and show the opinions and behaviors consistent with those of the majority in the group. Sheep should show the herd mentality that only human beings have. The herd mentality can easily lead to blind obedience, which often leads people to fall into a scam or encounter failure.

19, Matthew effect

Matthew effect refers to the better, the worse; The more, the less; A phenomenon that makes some people richer and those who don't have nothing.

20, barrel law

The wooden bucket for holding water is made of many boards, and the water holding capacity is also determined by these boards. If one of the boards is a short board, the water capacity of the barrel is limited by the short board. This short board has become the "limiting factor" (or "short board effect") of the water capacity of this bucket. To increase the water capacity of this bucket, we can only replace the short board or lengthen it.
