Whether The Leaders Are Clear About The Following Four Things

Quote from Truman's famous saying, "The bucks stop here" is more appropriate.

In other words, leadership is the responsibility, and the essence of leadership is "performance", that is, the responsibility of leaders should be "contribution".

Drucker recalled his high school military campaign, and said, "our history teacher is excellent. He is also a veteran soldier who has been seriously injured.

When he was in class, he asked each of us to read several books carefully from some books and write an experience report.

The teacher took the report as the examination paper for the mid-term examination.

When we discussed these reports in class, a class member raised a question: "almost every book mentioned that this heroic war is a totally unqualified war from the military level. Why?" our history teacher hesitated without hesitation and pointed out: "because the generals have not sacrificed enough, this is because these generals just let others rush to the front and stay behind the safety.

"The sacrifice of the generals is not enough" means that the unqualified generals in the war have sacrificed their lives, but they have been living on their own for the purpose of "one will lose all their bones."

Unqualified leaders either ignore others' lives, or eliminate their dissidents, and eventually pay a heavy price.

If this is not the case, if the general himself is in charge, he may sacrifice his life and die for his country.

But history tells us that the number of generals killed in the battle to win the battle is far lower than the failure of the war.

This shows that the most dangerous place is often the safest, while the safe rear is dangerous.

Whether the leaders are clear about the following four things

But is today's high-tech war entirely different from the historical battles?

Drucker observed effective leaders and found that they knew four things.

(1) the only definition of "leader" is to have subordinates who are following. Without them, they can not be leaders.

Some of these leaders are thinkers and others are prophets.

The so-called "thinkers" mean that they have a set of clear, simple, clear, concrete and operable business theory, and "prophets" means that they can not only see the opportunities, master the changes in demographic and demographic structure, take actions, but also make effective decisions on major organizations.

(2) the real "

"We should guide our subordinates to do the right thing, because leadership is judged by the results of leaders.

Being popular, being loved, admired or even worshipped is not leadership.

(3) establish a paragon of words and deeds.

A trusted leader does not necessarily like him, nor does he necessarily agree with anything he does. The trust of his followers is based on the conviction that leaders can do what they say, that is, he believes that he has the virtue of "words and deeds".

The behavior of a leader must be consistent with the belief that he adheres to and cannot contradict each other, and his behavior cannot deviate from his belief.

Effective leaders are not based on individuals.

(of course, intelligence is also important).

(4)

It's responsibility.

Leadership does not mean classes, titles, privileges or money.

An effective leader knows clearly that he must take responsibility for the final result. He must face and bear the responsibility for good or bad results.

Therefore, he is eager to have a strong team. He has strict self-discipline and requires his subordinates to contribute and contribute a hundred percent. So he will not worry about his ability to be stronger than himself.

But when the subordinates do not work hard, leaders will also give false reminders.

Leaders are more likely to view their success as their own success rather than as a threat to themselves.

Leadership is a job. Leaders must take responsibility and assist their subordinates in doing the right thing. They will make great contributions to the unity of words and deeds, and set up models. Only in this way can they win their subordinates' pursuit, realize their mission and vision, and truly become a thinker or prophet, which is also the best portrayal of Drucker's life.

He wrote many books, created many new concepts, made a great contribution to the unity of knowing and doing, enlightened management, became a leader in changing the world, and won the respect and following of the world.
