Chapter 27 How to prevent the phenomenon of "death when caught, chaos when released"?

Management should pay attention to the adjustment of "load".We must try our best to adjust at any time in the "daily", and try to choose the method of "fine-tuning".As we all know, smoking is a bad habit.Although many people want to quit smoking, there are always very few people who can quit smoking successfully. Why is this?You may "blurt it out" without thinking about it-or you don't have enough perseverance to resist the temptation!Congratulations, you got it right, you have a very high IQ, and you can come up with the answer so neatly.But I want to ask you, since the "perseverance" of "resisting temptation" is actually not possessed by most people, why do so many people try to use this "stupid method" to achieve their goals?This is really an illogical thing.Let me tell you a good way to quit smoking, just change "quit" to "borrow".You can achieve the same much easier.There are two meanings here.One is not to try to "succeed in one fell swoop" and quit "completely".This is not only because it is difficult for ordinary people to have such "perseverance", and they often fall short and give up halfway, but also, after "completely" quitting for a period of time, if due to some accidental reasons (such as being persuaded by a friend to die, or encountering a particularly serious situation) troubles, etc.) if you smoke it again, it will be even more difficult to quit next time.

Repeatedly like this, the difficulty of quitting smoking will become more and more difficult, but the psychological endurance will become worse and worse. Most people will end up adopting the attitude of "breaking the pot" - die sooner or later, resign yourself to fate!Don't delay smoking a few more cigarettes today.Therefore, the correct approach should be to "leave room" and lower the threshold for quitting smoking.Don't quit too hard, leave some "thoughts" for yourself, and allow yourself to smoke one when you really want to smoke.Because of this thought in mind, it can reduce the desire to smoke.This is like the principle of "you can't read a book unless you borrow it". When you go to a friend's house and see a good book, you can't put it down, and you will definitely read it at a glance.But if you go to the bookstore and buy the book home, that is, if you "own" the book yourself, you will unconsciously have the mentality of "the book is already mine anyway, and you can read it anytime" , As a result, the book can only lie on your bookshelf, maybe it is covered with cobwebs and you won't even take a second look.Therefore, the same is true for "quitting smoking". If you want to completely "cut off" the desire to smoke, it will become more and more intense, constantly scratching your nerves, making you restless, distracted, until the will On the contrary, if you leave yourself with the idea of ​​"you can smoke one when you really want to smoke", because the possibility of smoking in the future is preserved, the "right" to smoke can still "belong to you" to a certain extent. ", on the contrary, it will make you feel at ease, and on the contrary, it can gradually divert your attention from the matter of "smoking".

Therefore, in order to achieve this, smoking "borrowed cigarettes" is better than "buying cigarettes" yourself.It's not about saving money.One is that it is always embarrassing to trouble others; the other is that if you always have cigarettes on your body, it is difficult to control your "smoke volume".Only by "borrowing cigarettes" can you control your desire and quantity of smoking to the greatest extent.This cycle goes on and on, gradually making "smoking" less and less attractive to oneself, smoking less and less, until finally quitting completely.Or maybe although the amount will be reduced, you will not be able to quit completely for a lifetime-it's no big deal, "reducing smoking amount" is better than "can't quit smoking".This is a truly "pragmatic" attitude, and I am afraid it is also a vivid manifestation of the "second best" principle.

It is the "Borrowing Smoking Theory" for "quitting smoking".Don't underestimate this "borrowing cigarette theory", it can come in handy in our business management.Our managers are often prone to make mistakes of "going to extremes" in management, which often leads to the phenomenon of "killing as soon as you catch it, and chaos as soon as you release it" in the management work. As a result, many of our management methods are always difficult to escape from "from The end point returns to the starting point", a vicious circle of "repeatedly", "circling in situ".Therefore, leave room for everything and have thoughts, that is to say, you must maintain a certain degree of "elasticity" in order to be "sustainable".And only "sustainable" things can finally "cultivate positive results".On the contrary, any "unsustainable" thing, always "circling around in place", will bring huge waste of human, material and financial resources to the enterprise, and most importantly, it will destroy the most precious part of the corporate culture. "Passion" does great harm.

But how to achieve "relaxation and relaxation"?In actual operation, many of our managers, although their subjective desire is to "retract freely", but in practice they often "go too far", and still can't get rid of the vicious circle of "one catch will kill, one release will cause chaos" —Either it is too tight, or it is too loose.In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple-as long as our managers infiltrate the "way of relaxation" into "every day", we can easily get rid of it.The reason is also very simple. To borrow the above-mentioned "borrowing smoke theory" to explain, it means that our managers often try to use a stupid method, that is, to "thoroughly" get everything done, and "one size fits all" to manage.This often easily leads to the phenomenon that managers themselves and employees bear an excessive "load" because the threshold of "persistence" is too high.Although our managers may use the "Ah Q spirit" to comfort themselves, they will deceive themselves and others to regard this "high load" as their "high quality" as a professional manager.

But after all, I am also an ordinary person, and it is really beyond my ability to continue to bear such a high load. Finally, when I can't bear it one day, everything will collapse.Therefore, if this is the case, don't always "challenge yourself" too much, and learn to adjust the load "at any time" in the "daily".Only in this way can we not embarrass ourselves and employees too much, but can achieve "long-term" and "sustainable".However, "adjustment" also has the method and measure of "adjustment", which cannot be messed up.We must not "suddenly tighten for a while, and then suddenly loosen for a while". Doing so will not only bring about the situation of "death if you catch it, and chaos when you let it go", it will also create a "wolf-like behavior" among employees. The "psychological suggestion effect".Employees will gradually adapt and become numb—it doesn’t matter, it must be another leader’s head is hot, don’t worry, this time it will be hot for another 3 minutes, and it will pass after a few days—some good things will flow in vain Because of the form, it cannot truly penetrate the hearts of the people.Therefore, the sense of proportion of "adjustment" must be grasped as carefully as possible.

If possible, try to adopt a "dark tone" approach, that is, "maintain on the surface and adjust in private".For example, you can be stern and merciless in your mouth, but you can just open your eyes and close your eyes properly in actual operation (however, in order to prevent the "wolf is coming" effect, you occasionally have to take out the "should" "Shoot when you make a shot" to deter some employees' "fantastic" mentality).All in all, one word - one piece and one relaxation is the way of civil and military affairs.Neither side can be regarded as a qualified manager.
