The Management Story Of A Whip

Britain's old University of Cambridge has a famous headmaster who has trained a lot of students in the world. Some people ask him why he can run the school so well. The famous headmaster told his people that he used a whip to punish those who were not obedient and not aggressive, and reward and punish severely. He said that if he gave him a pistol, he would manage the school better and cultivate more good students.

The story of "a whip" has also appeared in many other places. Maybe the protagonist is not the headmaster of Cambridge, but in other words, it means that if there is a strict scientific system and strict implementation, it will certainly manage the school well and cultivate good students.

The "whip" here is the pronoun of a reasonable system that can be strictly enforced.

Actually, not only

Different people may have different answers about how to run businesses and what qualities most successful businesses need.

For example, some people emphasize that there should be enterprisers with innovative spirit. Some people value sufficient funds and high-quality talents, others rely on good market environment and tilt of national policies.

These views are undoubtedly correct and indispensable for the development of enterprises, but they are only hardware requirements.

And for software, the institutional and cultural factors can not be ignored.

After all, the enterprise is about human organization, and people's complex and diverse value orientation and behavior characteristics require enterprises to create a system and cultural environment conducive to the formation of common ideas and spiritual values, and constrain, regulate and integrate human behaviors so as to achieve the ultimate goal and ultimately contribute to the realization of common interests of enterprises.

Because fundamentally, the assumption that economics is lazy and selfish in human nature is still universally applicable in the commodity economy society from the angle of improving management efficiency.
