How to strengthen the strategic leadership of leaders
"Enterprises in China can't blindly pursue scale and speed if they want to be long-distance runners and achieve sustainable development. China business community urgently needs to improve leadership and industry leadership. " A few days ago, at the first "Master Meeting of Thought Feast", top domestic entrepreneurs such as Liu Chuanzhi, President of Lenovo Investment Holding Co., Ltd. (Liu Chuanzhi's news, let's talk about it), Ning Ning, Chairman of COFCO (Ning News, let's talk about it) and Mao Zhongqun, General Manager of Kitchenware Company, combined with their own practical experience, discussed the topic of "leadership" in depth. Liu Chuanzhi: How to cultivate leading figures is a key issue for enterprises to cultivate "engine culture" after formulating strategies. The core leadership of management advocated by Lenovo is "engine culture". As the number one leader of Lenovo, I am like a big engine. The leaders or department heads of my subsidiaries need to be consistent with the strategy of the head office, make clear their responsibilities and rights, and we will let them make specific arrangements to achieve the set goals. This method can give leaders a very full stage and spiritual encouragement, but it will take several years to cultivate and gradually form such a culture. At the same time, Lenovo also needs to monitor the practices of these leaders and better understand their behavior. When Lenovo gives them a full stage, we can get more observations and tests, such as "Are they strong in learning ability, and do they put the interests of enterprises first?". Practically speaking, the leaders elected in this way will have strong abilities. Now, what China enterprises need to do is to learn to write recipes, instead of cooking according to them. Enterprises in China are all self-made. They will learn while doing, and sum up what is theoretical or conceptual. In fact, it is a part of writing recipes, and we are constantly cultivating people who write recipes. For "engine culture", Lenovo emphasizes "three hearts". "Three Hearts" means that ordinary employees must have a sense of responsibility. For cadres above the middle level, in addition to their sense of responsibility, they also need to be enterprising. They should be ambitious, want to do bigger things and earn more money, so that they can innovate. And the top leader will have higher requirements. In addition to these two "hearts", you should be enterprising, that is, you should regard this company as your life. At this stage, many entrepreneurs have put themselves in the position of leadership. Leaders need to consolidate the management foundation of the enterprise, be able to implement the strategy, and bring a good team to implement the strategy. Ning: If you don't be the leader of the industry, there will be problems in the leading position of the industry, and the rate of return will definitely be low. So I think leaders are not only scale leaders, but also leaders of other competitive factors. Therefore, being an industry leader is also an ideal and a goal of COFCO. I think there are several types of * * *: the first type of * * * is professional. * * * is appointed, is passive * * *. The second kind of * * *, more emotional, is emotional. This * * * relationship is generally good. If you evaluate him, you will vote higher, but often your performance is not good. The third category is business type. This kind of * * * is fair, demanding and desperate. However, the creativity of this organization is not enough. Once a person leaves, problems will arise. This * * * is conducive to the completion of the task. The last * * * is organizational development. They will unify the spirit, culture, goals and structure of the organization. The mission and vision of an organization should be consistent with the individual leader, and we need to make this person accept the overall culture. This organization must have a firm belief, a strong sense of purpose, and a strong will to implement it. We must give our colleagues a fair evaluation and a suitable reward level higher than the market level, so as to draw a circle and become a developing organization. The * * * of organizational development orientation, the judgment of the industry itself and the level of strategic transformation can continue to lead in the case of continuous strategic innovation and progress, which is the highest * * *. * * * Need to lead the company step by step. I think as a * * *, it is difficult to combine strategic leadership with organizational leadership, and this is also a goal that COFCO hopes to achieve. Mao Zhongqun: Use more leadership and less hard power. In different enterprises, there are different corporate cultures, and they need different leadership, so they need the support of your corporate culture. Accordingly, each enterprise will have its own different leadership model. In Fang Taizhong, I advocate more leadership, less hard power, and "strict love and combination". I think "strictness" and "love" are two things that do not conflict at all. "Strictness" refers to the strict implementation of all regulations, and "love" is outside the system and process. We should fully trust and care for our employees. These two things are completely irrelevant, and there is no question of balance, which means that these two words can be done at the same time.
