As we all know, overtime in technology Internet companies is a normal state.Especially for research and development and technical attention, overtime is inevitable at night.
After all, some things pay attention to a continuity, and the work hours cant be done. If it continues the next day, it is often delayed.
In the early days of Huawei, most employees who did product research and development work have experienced staying up late to work overtime. They do not need the boss to urge them.Sleep.
And the market competition pressure is high. The company must compete with competitors for the time window, and sometimes it is necessary to fight against time.
So as a boss, what is the problem at this time?
Ren Zhengfei criticized supper reimbursement: Eat more good Han for night shifts, eat better, and motivate
When the scale of the Huawei R & D team is still small, Ren Zhengfei is transformed into the "Logistics Minister". He often pushes a car to send a supper to the employees at night. He is lest he hungry these "generals".
In fact, most of the young people of that era like to eat instant noodles. After all, they have experienced material scarcity, so they are very greedy.And The companys instant noodles are open, and the office has a lot of instant noodles.
But Ren Zhengfei thought that eating this nutrition could not keep up, so he asked the cafeteria to provide a good meal supply.Even if the company has become bigger later, Huawei has become a world -renowned multinational company, and Ren Zhengfei will also worry about employees meal problems.For example, he publicly criticized the process of supper approval:
I heard that overtime reimbursement is required to be approved in charge.Supper, let the people in our trenches also rush to criticize the strips while rigging.I heard that a meal is only 7 yuan. It has been reasonable. It has passed for so many years.Eat more good Han at night, eat better, eat better, and motivate.Can the standard be optimized?Can you order takeaway without a cafeteria? Based on one single standard, it is not based on the amount limit, can it be?
From the perspective of management, the approval is to avoid waste. The core is to suspect that employees are cheap, but in Ren ZhengfeiEssence
What is "sunset"?
Think about it. In this era, how many people will deliberately work overtime in high -tech enterprises like Huawei as strict quality of employees in Huawei?
Even if there is such a person, how much can it cause?Calculating accounts, if the enthusiasm of most employees hurts, wouldnt it be a failure of management?
and not only the problem of pros and cons, but also the problem of "love" as a leader. You only need to consider their interests and feelings on the standpoint of the employees, they willWill be inspired and work enthusiastically.
Ren Zhengfei here is actually a system of decreased entropy in the company.Huaweis "sunset" management method.The essence of the "sunset method" is to force the improvement of management efficiency and ability. In the "Huawei Basic Law", Article 88 stipulates that "the management of project management, implement the Japanese sunset law control."
Ren Zhengfei believes that in the enterprise, any work task should be beginning and end, and cannot be dragged into bureaucracy. In his eyes, the process that does not produce grain is excessive process, and the extra processes must be simplified.The supper is people-oriented, not the work card.
Ren Zhengfei has many speeches and instructions on logistics issues. He hopes that logistics services can continue to improve.Demand, provide diversified choices.To fight logistics, Ren Zhengfei emphasized that managing cadres should love to protect staff.
In fact, Huaweis cafeteria has many suppliers cooperation. Huaweis management of these suppliers is also "full competition and the last elimination". The purpose is to serve employees.Welfare is to let everyone eat well and solve the problem of being hungry.The rare thing is that Ren Zhengfei did not only care about Huaweis own employees. He also thought of "foreign personnel" such as security, cleaning, and drivers:
Huawei employees also include outsourcing employees, partners, service personnel (security, cleaning, driver, etc.) in the night shift ...
People -oriented guidance.
Overtime cannot be formalism, let alone dogma.
"R & D employees work overtime, it is very hard. I dont think it is necessary to work overtime.Because you are stupid, you have to fly more, do it very late at night, why not sleep early? "
If the department is ineffective overtime, it means that the supervisor is not capable, and the supervisor that is not capable is formalism.Cadres, for those management cadres who like to engage in superficial work, and false prosperity, are equivalent to breaking their thoughts. Anyway, the company is looking at the results. If you have no matter how hard you are, it will be useless if there is no credit.
What is the significance of ineffective labor after all?Efforts are not to show the boss, but to have a real contribution. The company is a utilitarian organization, and the battleship is for combat, not to look good.
This is also a place worth learning and reference.
