China's traditional culture is extensive and profound. In the long history, there are many works on moral restraint with Confucian culture as the main body, among which Disciple Rules is one of the most widely circulated and influential Confucian classic enlightenment textbooks. Disciple's Rules contains 360 sentences, 1080 words. It seems to be a short book, but it is the concentrated embodiment and essence of Confucian culture. Disciples Rules contains the great wisdom of China people in dealing with life, and it is the main carrier of the transformation of Confucian culture from ethics to behavioral constraints. The spirit conveyed by Disciples Rules is actually the concentrated expression of China people's behavioral virtues. As a part of social management, enterprise management is a dynamic process of shaping employees' moral norms and restraining employees' behavior norms, so disciple rules also have positive practical significance for enterprise management.
We know that the highest level of enterprise management is cultural management. The so-called cultural management can finally realize the self-management and self-discipline of employees, and the ultimate goal of management is spontaneous and inaction. The essence of cultural management is the management of employees' "mentality". Cultural management is to reassure employees. It sounds easy for employees to "settle down", but it is difficult to do it. The reason is that people in today's society are impetuous, lack of faith, and the social moral system has not formed a joint force. It is very difficult to manage and stabilize the hearts of employees. In this case, the essence of traditional culture left by ancient sages is the soup of peace of mind, and Disciples Rules is the best book of peace of mind management. Corporate culture management based on the principle of discipleship is a corporate moral behavior and restraint system starting from employees' minds. Realizing employees' self-management and doing nothing is the best enlightenment education, because Disciple Rules is the best enlightenment teaching material to condense the excellent moral character of Chinese people and cultivate their self-cultivation. Disciple Rules is also the best way to manage China, and it is also the most successful practice of excellent traditional China culture rooted in corporate culture.
Disciples Rules contains the essence of Confucian culture represented by Confucius, and it is a concentrated expression of the highest morality and behavior concept of Confucian culture. Li Yuxiu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, wrote Xun Mengwen according to the sixth sentence of "Learning from Time" in The Analects of Confucius: "Disciples are filial when they enter, filial when they leave, sincere when they believe, kind to others, and spare capacity when they do things." Later, Jia Cunren, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, revised and adapted it and renamed it Disciples Rules. Disciples here refer to the children, students and disciples of all sages. "Rules" are norms. If we want to advocate the Confucian philosophy of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust" in enterprises, then Disciples Rules is the best teaching material, because the essence of Disciples Rules is the concrete, behavioral and visual behavior practice of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom and trust" advocated by Confucian culture.
Filial piety required by Disciples Rules is the foundation of China culture. There is an old saying in China that "filial piety comes first". Filial piety is the foundation of being a man. Every employee in an enterprise can handle the relationship with other employees only if he is filial. Let's imagine that if a person is not good to his parents, how can he be good to others? Only family ethics can have social ethics and enterprise ethics. Imagine that if we can guide employees to treat the enterprise and colleagues as their homes and family members, then the enterprise will have strong cohesion and vitality. We advocate the establishment of life-oriented organizations, and the greatest feature of life-oriented organizations is the brilliance and care of human nature. Disciples' Rules is a textbook with the theme of guiding people to carry forward the brilliance and care of human nature.
The extension of filial piety is very important to embody the culture of loyalty and righteousness, and "filial piety" can be extended to "loyalty" Because only "filial piety" can "loyalty". Filial piety is the foundation of loyalty. Cultivating employees' loyalty is also a very important topic in enterprise management. Whether employees are loyal or not plays an important role in the development of enterprises. It is difficult for an enterprise without a loyal culture to achieve a lasting foundation. The loyalty culture of enterprises in China has influenced the development of enterprises in China. According to a survey, less than 20% of employees in most enterprises in China can stay in one enterprise for more than five years. Frequent personnel turnover greatly hinders the development of enterprises and is not conducive to the development of employees themselves. The instability of labor force is one of the most difficult management problems faced by entrepreneurs in China. There are many reasons for employees' frequent turnover, but the lack of loyalty is the main reason. As we know, the most famous businessmen in modern China are Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants. Employees have been apprentices in the firm since childhood, and apprentices are unpaid. They just can't eat, and they become buddies when their apprenticeship expires. Almost all people will work for this company all their lives, and some will even serve the next generation of its owners. When we look at historical stories, whether it's Hu Xueyan of Huizhou merchants or Qiao Zhiyong of Shanxi merchants, they are all assisted by "old ministers" who have lived for decades. However, we rarely encounter such a situation now. Employees in the enterprise are led once or twice, and those who are incompetent are eliminated by the enterprise. As soon as their supervisor's professional experience is improved, they can't resist the temptation and are poached by other enterprises. After careful analysis, we found that there are many reasons for employees' frequent job hopping, which are closely related to many management models, such as performance and distribution system, such as the company's development prospects and so on. But it is very important that our enterprises, whether entrepreneurs or employees, now have no "loyalty" value standards and principles.
Loyalty is the heart. Running a business is first and foremost about running people's hearts. Whoever wins the hearts of the people will succeed. We know that the most famous Toyota company in Japan is the loyalty culture of Toyota employees. According to the memoirs of some early Toyota employees, Zuo Fu Yamamoto, 77, even went to the company at night in case of typhoon and other disasters. Xiao Ye Tetsuro, 76, bought three sets of Toyota work clothes when he retired. He told his son to wear his own clothes and enjoy his old age. 77-year-old Mitsuki Doi, three generations have worked in Toyota. If only the grandson who went to college could also enter Toyota; 75-year-old Mitsuo Sano beat the metal plate with a hammer. If the voice is wrong, he will be hit on the head by the foreman. Almost no one was spared at that time. In the summer when there is no air conditioning in the workshop, he has no shirt to change and wears winter clothes. The foreman put the money in his trousers pocket and said, "It's rare, but at least you can buy a shirt." "Loyalty" is the genetic code of Toyota's success, and lean management is also based on loyalty culture.
Loyalty is an idea, a collection of sincerity and kindness, and the foundation of each of us. The ancients said that "a loyal minister is a dutiful son", and a person who is filial to his parents at home will be loyal to his duties. Loyalty to the enterprise is the obligation of every employee, and the loyalty of employees is also the need of enterprise development. Enterprises are parents, and the ancients said that parents have no worries about food and clothing, so employees should be "not slow" and "not lazy" in handling enterprise arrangements; It should be reflected in every little thing in life and work, and mistakes in work should be "accepted"; It is necessary to establish a sense of ownership, to love the enterprise as a home, to regard the enterprise as its own responsibility, and to share the same fate with the enterprise. This is the practical significance of Disciples Rules to management. Of course, we require employees to be loyal to the enterprise, not blindly "stupid loyalty." Employees can also put forward different suggestions and opinions, but these are based on the behavior of loyalty to the enterprise.
Disciples Rules can not only cultivate employees' loyalty, but also cultivate employees' integrity. Integrity is the most important part of shaping personal and corporate brands at any time. The values of honesty, trustworthiness and integrity established by the words "No matter what you say, trust comes first" are one of the most important outlines of corporate culture and spirit.
In addition, the pan-love for the people in Di Zi Gui embodies the philosophical concept of "great love without borders". Enterprises must establish a cooperative corporate culture, unite with each other, learn from each other and care about each other inside the enterprise, and "love all people and share the same fate with the earth" outside the enterprise, so as to build a harmonious enterprise with employees, enterprises, society and nature, which is also Confucian.
Benevolence in Disciples Rules is a requirement for entrepreneurs, which means that entrepreneurs must be selfless and helpful, and only with an open mind can they be upright. It is necessary to put the moral quality and working ability of employees in the same important position to build. This is the same as "having both ability and political integrity, giving full play to one's talents, giving full play to one's talents". Enterprises must trace back to the source and establish a healthy atmosphere. "Good-hearted, perfect, progressive in virtue and few days" is the guarantee of harmony and the premise of establishing a good image of the enterprise.
Li Yu Wen Xue in Disciples Rules is the concrete embodiment of the corporate culture elements that require enterprises to build learning-oriented enterprises and employees to build learning-oriented skilled talents. Only learning can achieve self-confidence. "The traffic will be blocked by then." Only by diligence and hard work can we achieve "saints and sages can be tamed". Building a learning enterprise is also one of the most important elements in modern corporate culture.
"The first filial piety, the second faithfulness, universal love, harmony for goodness, spare no effort, and then study literature." Disciples' Rules expounds the way of doing things and the code of conduct of China people from these six aspects. For enterprises, managing people is the core of management, and the best magic weapon to manage people is to form employee self-management constraints with traditional ethical norms and excellent national character in the blood of China people. If we use disciple rules to train and educate employees and build a corporate culture with disciple rules as its main spiritual connotation, we will certainly be able to solve management problems from the essence of human nature and turn cultural power into productivity. Because the laws and ideas of moral behavior in Disciples Rules are actually the most easily awakened part of China people's innate excellent moral quality and national character.
The essence of Disciple Rules is the concrete practice of Confucian culture "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" in society and enterprises, and it is also the best popular teaching material for China people to change from "knowing is easy to do" to "integrating knowledge with practice" when practicing Confucian culture. Disciple rule is the essence of enterprise management in China.
