Countercurrent 1982

"I have already made a detailed assessment of the senior management of each department of our group company." After learning that Duan Yun wanted to select a candidate for the group's vice president from the company's current senior management, Johnson thought for a while one
Next, he continued: "However, the relevant information is still in my computer. If possible, I will bring the information to your office tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Duan Yun nodded, and continued: "But based on your experience, who do you think is more suitable to be the vice president of the group company?"

While Duan Yun was speaking, he looked at the group of company executives who were sitting and eating not far away.

"Actually, in my opinion, none of them are suitable to be the vice president of the group company." Johnson said after pondering for a while.

"No one is suitable?" Duan Yun was taken aback when he heard this.Duan Yun did not expect Johnson to give him such an answer. You must know that the people who can currently serve as executives in Tianyin Group are the top talents in various departments. Even if you look at the country, they belong to the top wave. Whether it is academic qualifications, work experience, or personal performance, they are all quite outstanding. In other words, any one of this group of people can directly serve as the leader in other companies, and they are people who can stand alone
However, Johnson still seemed a little dissatisfied with their abilities. Judging from his words, he didn't give any of them a high evaluation. It seemed that in his eyes, everyone was very mediocre. "In fact, these people are some good elites, but if you want me to pick one to be the vice president of the company, then the requirements are relatively high." Johnson paused, and then said: "They are well educated, I usually work very hard. If I work in any company, I can be regarded as a very good employee. But this time we are going to choose a leader, a company leader whose level is close to yours.

According to my observation in the past two years, no one in the company can compare with you. "

"That's it." Hearing what Johnson said, Duan Yun suddenly realized.

It's not because there are no high-end talents in the company, but because Duan Yun's requirements are a bit too high.In Duan Yun's thinking, the vice president of the company is actually able to help Duan Yun handle some of the company's daily management work, and at the same time handle social issues. His requirements for the vice president are not high, he just needs to be able to choose the best from the best.
In general, the company's development direction and major strategies still need to be formulated by oneself.But in Johnson's opinion, the position of the vice president of the company and Duan Yun should be similar. Maybe Duan Yun does not have the final decision-making power, but the position of the vice president in the company is also very important. His ability and talent are very important to the company.

The future development has a huge impact, so choosing a company vice president is always a very important thing.On the other hand, according to the management model of Western companies that Johnson used in the past, the ability of the vice president should not be inferior to that of the general manager. In this way, the reason is very simple, because many companies in the West are practicing the strategy of professional managers, and the top managers of the companies are essentially wage earners who are only responsible to the company's board of directors. Similar people take over his position. If the difference in ability is too far, the result is likely to be management chaos or a major misjudgment in business strategy. This is very important for any company...

Said it was a fatal thing.However, with Johnson's understanding of Duan Yun, he deeply feels that Duan Yun is a very remarkable business genius. He may not be good enough in some minor management details and technical fields, but for so many years, Duan Yun has never made a mistake. Major mistakes, and some have a very strong business vision, which most people do not have. Many executives in the company are tacticians, but Duan Yun is the only strategist, precisely because
In this way, Johnson feels that no one in the company currently has such strong ability and vision as Duan Yun.In general, there is a certain difference between Duan Yun and Johnson in terms of the way of thinking of company management. Duan Yun just wants a second-in-command who can represent the group company, while Johnson thinks that Duan Yun is looking for a capable person.

Its equivalent successor. "It takes a lot of time and cost to train a top management talent." Johnson glanced at Duan Yun, and then said: "It took me two years to seriously understand the business logic and management of Chinese companies.

Generally speaking, China's private enterprises are still in a relatively embryonic stage, which is in line with China's current national conditions, but it is difficult to have a longer-term development..."

"You're right, that's why I invited your team to reform our company." Duan Yun nodded.

Although he has made the company the strongest in mainland China, Duan Yun also knows in his heart that his Tianyin Group is not without any problems. In fact, there are many internal problems.For a long time, Duan Yun relied on the management experience gained from various information channels in his previous life, as well as his foresight decades earlier than this world, to seize opportunities everywhere and develop the company to its current scale. It can be said that Duan Yun The foresight of the company and the company's current profitability cover up many problems, but if you want your group company to remain undefeated in the next decade or even decades, you need to have more advanced concepts and more optimal solutions.
Excellent talents, it is precisely because of this that Duan Yun spends huge sums of money to seek help from IBM's consulting team. Judging from the current situation, the company has changed a lot, and it has also achieved the results Duan Yun wanted. "...In addition, when doing business in China, the relationship with the government is also very important, and can even play a decisive role. I know that Mr. Duan has a close relationship with many local governments in your country. Therefore, in the past ten years of development of your company, It went very smoothly, but other people in our company, they don't have such social connections, and they don't have many opportunities to contact people at the government level, so if Mr. Duan leaves the company, then I'm sure
Your company will immediately encounter many very difficult difficulties. Johnson said. Although Johnson has not been in China for a long time, he can definitely be regarded as half a "China Hand". It is also necessary to understand the operating system and deep logic of Chinese society, so he quickly discovered that doing business in China and dealing with the government are very important, which is completely different from the situation in the United States.
