Chapter 61 "Sense of Ownership in Private Enterprises"

Tell the bosses in the world a "little secret" - although there are not many left, you still have two "trump cards" in your hands that can effectively improve the "ownership awareness" of employees.Many bosses today are lamenting the lack of "ownership" among employees.They feel that it is even more difficult to get the current employees to love the company as "home" in the "declining world".They are becoming more and more "nostalgic" - when the "planned economy" was originally planned, although the salary was only tens of yuan a month, people's "ownership" was so high!People at that time really "love the factory like home".But these days, it's really "out of time"!In desperation, many bosses simply picked up the "heirlooms" of old state-owned enterprises - in order to enhance employees' "sense of responsibility as a master", they launched "sentiment" and "consciousness" education in the enterprise.

What? "Sentiment" and "consciousness"?That's right, your ears are fine, those two words.How about it?Is there a feeling of "familiarity" and "existence"?If you all feel this way, then you can imagine whether this kind of "sentiment" and "consciousness" education can achieve the expected "results".In fact, to be fair, the "sentiment" and "consciousness" education in the era of "planned economy" decades ago has achieved remarkable results.However, there are several prerequisites.First of all, people at that time were working in "state-owned enterprises", which are so-called "owned by the whole people".Since it is "owned by the whole people", it means that everyone is an "owner" and a "boss", and they are all working for "themselves", so even if they can only earn a few tens of dollars a month, they will still be relative Easily develop a "sense of ownership".

Secondly, the "state-owned enterprises" at that time were "enterprises running society".Everything about employees, including birth, old age, sickness and death, children's schooling, housing and other issues, all come from the enterprise.At that time, owning a "unit" meant owning all "life" for a social person, so it was impossible not to "love the factory like home".Finally, due to the above two reasons, employees will have a strong sense of "dependence" and "sense of belonging" to the company, and combine their own destiny with the fate of the company from the bottom of their hearts. The "sense of ownership" of "both ribs and knives" is definitely playing "real".Having said that, things are very clear.Why is today's "sentiment" and "consciousness" education meaningless?Let's go over the idea together: Q: Do the current employees have "ownership" of the company?Answer: Except for a very few corporate executives (who may enjoy the so-called "equity incentive" treatment), the vast majority of employees do not.Therefore, all fools know that the ultimate goal of the boss's "sentiment" and "consciousness" education is for his own good.Question: Is the current enterprise still "enterprise running society"?Answer: Unless the boss is crazy, I have never heard that the current boss has "allocated housing" to employees.Question: Do current employees have a "sense of dependence" on the company and a strong "sense of belonging"?Answer: Unless they are relatives of the boss, everyone on earth knows that employees who have worked for two or three years without resigning are a minority.When it comes to this point, if there are people who don't understand, I can only be "speechless".

However, even so, there is no need to think too pessimistically about things.In today's social environment, adopting the method of "sentiment" and "consciousness" education is "laughing and generous", but as long as improving the "ownership awareness" of employees is still one of the important ways to improve the core competitiveness of enterprises, it must be There is a way to do it.In fact, although there are not many left, today's bosses still have two "cards" to play.First of all, even if there is no "ownership", as long as there is "discretionary power" in hand, the "sense of ownership" of employees can still be stimulated to the greatest extent.The so-called "discretionary power" is the right to "take the initiative to do work" and the right to "make decisions on your own".A well-known foreign management consulting company once conducted a survey. They found that in addition to factors such as "living security" and "material treatment", the factor that has the greatest impact on employee satisfaction and employees' work motivation and passion is "discretionary power". ".As long as they have the "discretionary power" over their own work, employees will feel that their work is exciting and enjoyable, and they can truly treat the company's affairs as their own.Take a simple analogy.This is like being the manager of a big house. Although the "ownership" of this big house has nothing to do with him, he can do his best. One of the important reasons is that he has a huge "ownership" in his hand. discretion".

As the saying goes, "If you have power, you will have responsibilities, and if you have responsibilities, you will fulfill your responsibilities." This is what it means.Second, find ways to strengthen employees' "sense of belonging".Now it is completely impossible for enterprises to win the "sense of belonging" of employees through the method of "enterprise running society".Therefore, we can only find a way from other aspects.In fact, it is not difficult at all to win the "sense of belonging" of the Chinese people.We Chinese are most convinced of one sentence - a scholar dies for his confidant.As long as you try to be an understander, supporter, and carer of your employees, and try to be their "confidant", you will not worry that your employees will not "hack your knife" for you, let alone "ownership".In fact, it is not that our employees are too "picky" and "difficult to serve", but that there are too few "Masters" among the bosses today, and many people are looking forward to meeting "Masters".Therefore, as long as you "perform" somehow, you will immediately attract a large number of "loyal" masters.Now is a good time.In fact, these two cards are very "cost-effective" cards-neither strenuous, but also "extraordinarily high" efficiency.The secret of the former is nothing more than "decentralization", which not only saves the boss's energy, but also allows others to work for you with "full energy"; the secret of the latter is nothing more than "sweet mouth", a little "sight". .Don't care so much about the boss's "smelly airs", as long as you can exchange for the "ownership" of the employees, you can't suffer.
