Chapter Thirteen(2/3)
We should pay attention to some issues like this.”
I asked Director Sun next to me in a low voice: "Who is this person?"
He answered me in a low voice: "He is the principal of our second elementary school. His name is Huo Siwen. Some people jokingly call him an educated driver."
I almost laughed, but I forced myself to nod.
After Huo Siwen finished his speech, I asked him: "Principal Huo, how do you think our school should be managed?"
He said: "I am the principal of a primary school, and I have completed the national work of universal nine education. It is not difficult to manage a school like ours. But I am an educator, and I must often think about some problems that exist in our education.
Although I don't agree with the industrialization of education, I think we should manage schools like a company. That is, there are rules to follow and rewards and punishments are clear. The school's products are students, and cultivating outstanding and qualified talents is our only goal.
As for our teaching staff, we should organically combine increasing their income with cultivating their quality. Of course, these are just some of my personal thoughts. After all, our school is a small school, and this kind of management model will not work in the future.
Our school cannot use it. However, I agree with the views you just mentioned, Mayor Feng. We currently have many problems in education, and we need to boldly reform and boldly explore ways and means of reform."
To be honest, there are indeed things in this person's speech that interest me, such as his mention of using a corporate model to manage schools. But I think his speech has a very purpose.
Nowadays, many cadres in Shangjiang City have heard about my promotion of Yu Yong and Ma Li, and many people also praise me for my accurate vision of people. This is not surprising, because these two people are doing very well in their current jobs.
Very good.
In fact, I am very proud of these two things, but I don’t think that I have seen people correctly. To be precise, it should be that the way I examine them is correct. When you look at people, you can often only see what you see.
Its external things, and many people's external things can easily deceive others. So I asked them to answer very practical questions at that time, and the answers they gave me made me very satisfied. In the end, I needed
They are people who can work hard and have real abilities, so when I examine them, I pay more attention to their ideas.
Of course, there are also people who are good at doing one thing in theory, but their actual work ability is very poor. However, I always feel that there are not many people like this. The story of Ma Su in ancient times exaggerated this situation, so that
Some people think that people like this are everywhere in reality. My idea is this: a person has a complete knowledge structure in theory, or has a broad mind that ordinary people do not have. As long as such a person goes through practice, he will be very successful.
It is easy to combine practical work with the theoretical knowledge he possesses. The key to the problem is: as a superior, you should give them such an opportunity, otherwise it will be a waste of talent.
The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences once issued a "China Talent Development Report", which pointed out that my country's human resource advantages have not been fully utilized, and the waste of talent is shocking, resulting in economic consumption and economic losses exceeding nearly one trillion yuan every year.
There are three main forms of talent waste: first, the trend of high consumption of talents is very obvious; second, internal consumption is serious and competition is excluded; third, the idle cost of talents is also quite common. What is the root of these manifestations? In fact, it is the system
Caused by sexual defects and problems. For example, in the process of recruiting talents, especially in the process of recruiting college graduates, many employers blindly pursue high consumption of talents, which makes the employment expectations of college graduates remain high, resulting in
The phenomenon of double backlog of talents either in society or in employers cannot play the role it should play.
In the process of using talents, some unit leaders treat talents based on their personal likes, dislikes and proximity. They lack the necessary tolerance for those who are capable and high-level, but have distinctive personalities and are not very obedient; while they treat those who are more obedient but have mediocre abilities.
Especially in the process of evaluating talents, due to the lack of a scientific and reasonable evaluation mechanism, on the one hand, it leads to the misalignment of talents and mediocrity, which seriously dampens the enthusiasm of talents; on the other hand, unscientific evaluation mechanisms also lead to
The tendency to focus on the pursuit of quantity while neglecting the quality of talents has seriously affected the cultivation and development of independent innovation capabilities of talents. In terms of the mechanism of talent competition, since the healthy competition mechanism for talents has not yet been fully established, there has been excessive competition and insufficient competition for talents.
exist at the same time, which leads to the order of talent competition and the phenomenon of internal friction among talents to varying degrees. In addition, in terms of the environment for talent growth, the institutional environment, public opinion environment, interpersonal environment, etc. that are conducive to the growth of talents have not yet been finally formed.
, there is even a bad phenomenon of suppressing talents in some places and units.
There are still many flaws and problems in our country's management system such as talent selection, use, evaluation, competition and talent growth. These flaws and problems not only greatly reduce the function of the talent management system itself, but also cause negative impacts and institutional contradictions.
continue to appear, thus exacerbating the vicious cycle of talent waste.
I heard about something not long ago: a talent that our Jiangnan Province introduced as a treasure a few years ago was actually idle until the beginning of the year due to various reasons. Due to work arrangements, in recent years, this talent has been
Leaders at all levels reported this more than a hundred times, but every time they reported it they ended in disappointment. Later, this matter was implemented with the personal concern of Secretary Fang.
From an economic point of view, talent is a resource and a "production factor". It "organizes" and "integrates" production factors such as labor, capital, and land, and then forms a specific production and operation process. The United States
When talking about entrepreneurial talents, economist Schumpeter believed that they are people who creatively destroy the original combination of production factors, that is, people who innovate; their talent lies in their "specialized judgment on the allocation of scarce resources."
"The ability to make innovative decisions". Innovation is scarce, the elements that invest in innovation are scarce, and the talents who make innovative decisions are even more scarce. These characteristics of entrepreneurial talents should generally represent the characteristics of all talents. From this perspective
, Talent, a resource that "organizes factors of production", is undoubtedly a more scarce resource. And the scarcer the resource, the greater its value. Therefore, wasting talent is a mistake, and it is also detrimental to economic development.
, a crime of social progress.
Nowadays, many people value tangible resources, such as land, capital, etc. to the extent of hunger and thirst, but many of them only pay lip service to the value of human resources.
In fact, including our Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, we all have the same problem, because we have not formulated a management mechanism for talent selection, use, evaluation, competition and talent growth. Although I have also
I have thought about this problem, but I can only do anything about it because this is not what I, the mayor, should do. Such things are within the scope of Secretary Rong's power.
And it’s not convenient for me to suggest it to her. On the one hand, as a mayor, I am very taboo about such things. On the other hand, it is very difficult for a place to establish such mechanisms. There are too many things involved.
There are many, and there are also problems with leadership concepts.
I have to admit that Yu Yong is a talent that makes me very satisfied. This person is really talented in business. He was once just a section-level cadre in the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau. Although he is very familiar with land policy,
He had never been systematically exposed to business matters, but later he quickly became very proficient in financing and capital operation techniques. In addition, he now also has a very clever marketing strategy in real estate sales.
.
First, he adopted a strong old-to-new policy: old customers and new customers who successfully subscribe can enjoy a 10,000 yuan shopping voucher in a shopping mall in the city. At the same time, he encourages the owners and divides the seed customers into several levels. As the customers
As the number of houses purchased increases and reaches a new level, you can obtain various upgraded rewards. The highest level can provide you with the opportunity to travel abroad.
Secondly, on weekends, regular lucky draw draws are held in the sales center for old customers who bought houses last week. The draw gifts include TVs, air conditioners, fully automatic washing machines, microwave ovens and other home appliances.
Third, he invited staff from several banks in batches to explain the mortgage procedures to customers who were interested in buying houses.
Fourth, he has a very capable marketing team on his hands.
Fifth, he spared no expense in advertising in provincial newspapers and Shangjiang City newspapers.
Sixth, every time a new property is launched, a sales restriction strategy is adopted, and only a small number of properties are released each time, thus creating the illusion of resource constraints.
After he used these tricks one by one, the sales performance of the real estate was naturally self-evident. Nowadays, there is a popular saying in Shangjiang City - Who is the richest among the current workers? The answer is:
Those salesmen under Yu Yong!
At this time, I clearly felt that the speech of the primary school principal named Huo Siwen had an obvious purpose, but I did not think that the content of his speech was so wonderful. However, I think it is also easy to understand.
After all, each of us hopes to get greater development opportunities and have a larger platform to showcase our abilities.
He and I are the same on this point. Otherwise, why would I go out of my way to meet Secretary Fang?
I was thinking in my mind: If I have the opportunity to have a good chat with this person in the future, if he really has a special ability in some aspect, it would be okay to put it to good use.
A person's ability to seize opportunities to show himself is also an ability.
Just now, when I thought about my visit to Secretary Fang, I suddenly remembered the dream I had a few days ago. I suddenly realized that I had not fully analyzed the content of my dream at that time.
In my dream, Governor Huang fell ill, and I climbed to the drugstore on top of the bookshelf to buy medicine. I remember that in my dream, I seemed to see an old man in the drugstore, but I had no idea about the process of buying medicine.
I didn’t have much of an impression. Later, when I came down from the bookshelf, I discovered that the ceiling at the top of the bookshelf had been closed, and there was no pharmacy there at all.
At this time, I was thinking in my heart, if Governor Huang’s illness is regarded as his problem, then my going to buy him medicine can be extended as a solution. And if the thing in the dream drugstore is
The old man with a vague impression interpreted it as representing Secretary Fang, and then the true meaning of this dream appeared——
In my mind, there was something wrong with Governor Huang, and he might not be able to continue his current job soon. Governor Huang in the dream told me that my initial diagnosis and solution were wrong, so I
I thought of another way, that is, I tried to go to Secretary Fang to find a way. However, when I found the way, I found that the door had been closed, and I suddenly realized that it was very unreal and ridiculous that there would be a pharmacy there.
In other words, my thoughts like that are actually ridiculous and simply an unrealistic fantasy.
Now, I suddenly felt that I had a very bad premonition in my heart: Something is really going to happen to Governor Huang, right?
But I immediately felt that my idea was a bit ridiculous: isn't it just a dream? Moreover, I have studied psychology and have had some practical understanding and experience in the interpretation of dreams. I know very well that, in fact,
Most of our dreams are the most real thoughts and expectations deep in our hearts.
Of course, some people have said that our dreams also represent the sixth sense. But I think this statement is too illusory.
The third day of the meeting is the last day of the meeting, and it is also the time when the most core procedure of the meeting is carried out - today, the deputies to the National People's Congress participating in the meeting will elect the mayor of the city.
As the acting mayor, I am the only candidate nominated by the presidium of the National People's Congress this time, and the election method is an equal-number election. In fact, I am not worried about being elected now, but I am very concerned about my vote rate.
Because this reflects the trust that the deputies of the National People's Congress have in me.
It is said that Mayor Wen was unanimously elected during the National People's Congress election, but his election was later rumored to be a joke.
At that year's National People's Congress, the mayors of several nearby cities were unanimously elected, but that year's National People's Congress in Shangjiang City was postponed for a few days for some reason, so the then Municipal Party Committee Secretary temporarily issued an order to the Organization Minister
The ultimate mission: the election must be organized to ensure that the new mayor is elected unanimously!
It is not difficult to be elected mayor, but it is difficult to be elected with unanimous votes. It is said that the organization director of the municipal party committee at that time was so rare that he could not sleep all night.
The situation at that time was the same as mine now. As the acting mayor, Mayor Wen was the only candidate nominated by the presidium. He had become an official candidate. There was no problem in being elected in an equal election. The problem was that among the more than 300 representatives, there was no guarantee that he would be elected.
There are one or two people who put up one or two negative votes because something is not what they want. The election method has been passed at the conference. How to nip these two imaginary negative votes in the bud within the election method?
Become a top priority for election organizers.
It is said that the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee at that time put a lot of thought into achieving the unanimous approval of Mayor Wen and successfully completing the tasks assigned by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at that time. He and several other organizers of the general election conspired in a secret room and successively planned and discussed
Several options.
The first plan was to number each ballot and distribute it to each representative according to the number. However, this method was too obvious and violated the principle of registered voting, so it had to be abandoned.
The second plan is to change the election method, changing the original "votes in favor of a mark '○'" to "votes in favor without any symbols, votes in favor of a mark 'x', abstentions marked '○'
'", and they also do not issue vote-marking pens. In this way, if someone takes out a pen and writes, it means who is causing trouble, which can be easily seen by the scrutineers, vote counters and other representatives, increasing the risk of discovery.
Generally no one takes risks for this.
But later the Organization Minister heard that this method had been successfully used several times in the city's history. But this time when he proposed it, it was rejected by the superior People's Congress, and it was not implemented in the end.
Then they came up with another plan: corresponding to ten delegations, set up ten "ballot boxes", "release" votes in separate groups, and count votes in separate groups. The "ballot boxes" in the design are not real ballot boxes.
To be continued...
