The antonym is appointing people on their merits, appointing talents, knowing people and being good at their duties.
As a manager, it is very important to make good use of talents. To some extent, the art of leadership is the art of employing people. For the appointment of talents, there have been two completely different standards since ancient times: "meritocracy" and "cronyism". "meritocracy" sounds like the right way, but "cronyism" is often criticized. But from the current enterprise management system, both of them have limitations.
Not to mention "nepotism", if "xian" is used as the evaluation standard of talents, what is the standard of "xian"? Who is in charge of whether a person has virtue or not? Although traditional talent appraisal also strives to be objective, it is often based on feelings, impressions, experiences and even "faces". It comes down to "luck". If you are lucky, you will catch one; If you are unlucky, you think you are unlucky. Obviously this method is not reliable.
After Alibaba acquired Yahoo (China), Ma Yun appointed Xie Wen as CEO. Xie Wen, 198 1 graduated from Renmin university of China, and then went to study in the United States to engage in investment consulting; 1996 returned to China and became the CEO of Zhonggong.com, successfully acquiring Lianzhong Games; In 2003, he became the CEO of Hexun.com.
However, Xie Wen's brilliant experience did not make him an outstanding Alibaba person. On the contrary, just over a month after taking office, he was dismissed by lightning. It is reported that when Ma Yun announced Xie Wen's resignation, the audience applauded.
Xie Wen's class ended Ma Yun's failure in employing people. So, where is his mistake? Obviously, Ma Yun pays too much attention to the technical ability of talents in employing people. From a simple historical point of view, Xie Wen's ability is indeed very high, which is beyond doubt, but this is not the whole basis for measuring whether a manager is competent or not. Judging from the performance of his employees after class, it is obvious that there are problems in his interpersonal relationship. Perhaps it was his overconfidence and arrogance that prevented his work in Alibaba from being carried out effectively.
Xie Wen is unanimously regarded as a person with "strong personality" by insiders. He resigned from Zhonggong.com and Hexun.com successively, and the tense interpersonal relationship was an important reason. When a person with this personality parachutes into a company to lead an intelligent team, it is inevitably difficult to work according to his own personality.
In this case, Ma Yun is not "taking people by relatives", but "taking people by virtue", or failed. It can be seen that the way to use talents is not in the two, but outside the two; Pay equal attention to both ability and political integrity; Know its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. "cronyism" and "cronyism" are not as good as "meritocracy", and the most suitable is the best.
In the early years of Guangxu, Li Hongzhang was ordered to establish the Beiyang Navy, bought many warships from abroad and practiced every day. Due to the lack of proper naval training, the prefect of Beiyang Navy could not form the actual combat effectiveness of the fleet at the moment.
Faced with the shortage of naval talents, Li Hongzhang had to hire Lang Weili, then a British naval officer, as the head coach of Beiyang Navy, and gradually cultivated Beiyang Navy into a prestigious "tiger and wolf teacher". Prince Chun saw that the training of naval officers was fruitful when he read the army, and awarded Lang Weili the honorary title of "prefect". In order to give orders, Lang Weili often pretends to be the "deputy prefect". However, some people say that Lang Weili is "flying high, high-spirited, and wholeheartedly in power."
/kloc-at the beginning of 0/890, the navy prefect went to France to handle affairs. At that time, the company commander Liu proposed to lower the prefect flag from the flagship Dingyuan and raise his own company commander flag. Lang Weili felt that this was inappropriate and had a fierce quarrel with Liu Fa. When things got to Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang considered that Lang Weili was a foreigner after all and worried about his self-esteem. Liu's confidant general replied in the letter that it was the answer, which was equivalent to directly agreeing to Liu's request.
Li Hongzhang's opinion dampened Lang Weili's self-esteem. In August of that year, after the fleet returned to Ahava, Lang Weili resigned and left. Since then, the military discipline of Beiyang Navy has become increasingly relaxed. After landing, many officers and men took concubines, gambled and went whoring, and no longer had the heart to run the army, so that the warships were covered with rust and many weapons could not be used.
1894, the Sino-Japanese War broke out. At this time, the Qing government thought of Lang Weili again, and sent letters several times inviting Lang Weili to return to China to help the Beiyang Navy resist the Japanese army, but Lang Weili flatly refused. In the end, beiyang fleet was wiped out.
It can be seen from this case that Li Hongzhang is open-minded and conservative in employing people. Enlightened is to hire foreign aid and introduce advanced methods of running the army; The old-fashioned way is to distrust foreign aid and trust cronies. In an episode of TV series "Towards the Republic", Li Hongzhang expressed his view on employing people. He said: "People say that Li Hongzhang attaches great importance to his cronies. I want to ask, who do I need without my cronies? Do I have to use someone I don't even know? How do I know if someone I don't know can take on the heavy responsibility? How can I live up to the trust of the emperor and the country? " The impassioned words completely exposed its bias in employing people.
In China, close people are always easy to gain trust. At the beginning of starting a business, the backbone members are often people who are closely related to the boss. It's not that there are no capable people in the "cronies", but it's impossible for all "cronies" to be capable people, and it's impossible for all capable people to be "cronies". The selection and appointment of talents should be based on an objective, standardized and feasible evaluation system. Listen to what you say and do, there should be no prejudice, otherwise only you will suffer.
