Professional managers should have the basic ability and professional ethics
As Mr. Tang Jun, China's professional managers, although controversial in the country, but also a professional manager is beyond reproach; and then Mr. Lee Kai-Fu, the earth knows that he is a professional manager. So, as a professional manager, should have what quality? The following I am going to prepare an article about professional managers should have the basic ability and professional ethics, I hope you like.
From the last few years of the twentieth century until we cross into the twenty-first century, Chinese enterprises are brewing a change, the most obvious sign is the professional manager market in China has been the first signs. With the TCL Group to hire professional managers Wu Shi Hong as the general manager of the company's news by the media "hype" after the Guangdong Huadi Group also put forward "as long as you do better than me", out of the high-paid to hire when the professional managers. Especially when the overall management level of domestic enterprises is relatively backward, China's professional manager team can be early large, mature has become a more urgent issue. Peking University Guanghua School of Management, vice president of Professor Zhang Weiying said that the future of Chinese enterprises can develop and grow, to a large extent, depends on the construction of professional managers. But in the end what kind of managers is the real professional managers? What kind of professional manager team should be established in China? Professional managers should have what qualities?
The professional manager is a business management for the occupation of the social class, he refers to the use of comprehensive business management knowledge and rich management experience, independent of an economic organization (or a department) to carry out business or management. He is a professional manager who takes business management as his profession, and it can be said that professional manager is the enterprise's? Nanny? They not only have very professional knowledge of enterprise management, rich management experience, but more importantly, they are loyal to their profession. Professional managers are not self-appointed, but selected and evaluated by the market. Therefore, professional managers should attach great importance to the cultivation of ability and the practice of professional ethics, focusing on the improvement of performance and the evaluation of the market, that is, professional managers should have high personal qualities and high professional skills and managerial talent, strong dedication, sense of innovation, the spirit of adventure and the impulse to compete, perseverance, self-confidence, decisiveness and a strong sense of commitment to the cause of the ability to see the essence of things through the surface of the insight ability, Decision-making ability, rich working experience and deep theoretical foundation, organizational and coordination skills and know people well, the ability to employ people, in terms of knowledge, professional managers should have hard knowledge, soft knowledge and social knowledge (hard knowledge refers to the knowledge of a particular discipline, such as engineering and technology, etc.; soft knowledge refers to the knowledge of management decision-making; social knowledge refers to the need to have a relatively rich social experience).
First, professional managers should have a noble work ethic, a strong sense of mission and responsibility, and a high degree of loyalty to the enterprise.
Why put professional ethics in the first place? Tsinghua University economist Prof. Wei Jie, when talking about the construction of professional ethics of professional managers, told of a thing that once happened around him: ? Once a chairman of the board of directors to a meeting in Beijing to invite me to dinner, the results just sat down to the chairman of the board of directors something to go, so that their own vice president to accompany me to dinner, I looked at the bill, counted 2300 yuan, the results of this vice president told the waiter: to open 9700 yuan. The next day I pondered a day, why open 9700 yuan, it seems that there is a loophole can be drilled, because the chairman of the board of directors to invite me to dinner, you spend the money to write on the invitation to dinner, he will not ask me how much I ate, which is the failure of the system, should not do so he did. Later, I met the chairman of the board of directors, told him that you have a problem with this business, vice president are doing this, that's no good, simply replace him. I thought this could provoke the boss's great anger, but to my surprise the boss did not say a word, and calmly told me not to change, change the Zhang San, Li Si came to the same. Therefore, a noble work ethic, a strong sense of mission and responsibility, and a high degree of loyalty are very, very important to the enterprise. Another example is the famous Intel that we know, where did Intel's technology come from? His core technology was stolen from Felchers (phonetic) company. Robert? Noyce (one of the founders of Intel) was the company's general manager, Moore (one of the founders of Intel) is the director of the company's research department, the research department of the technical staff invented a chip, Noyce and Moore with this chip on the jump out, the founding of the current Intel, the technology became the initial source of technology of the current Intel Corporation. Now Intel has become a very large company, and Felchers? The world, I am afraid, no longer knows about it (Note: The words of Dr. Liu Yaping, President of the Reunion of Students from the United States). According to the statistics of 500 big enterprises, 71% of the managers get their skills or some important resources from his original employer, so there is a warning saying in the West, ? Never let your employees do what you once did to your boss.? So, when the enterprise boss in the employment of professional managers, it is afraid of obtaining the enterprise's technical secrets, market channels or other resources of the employees themselves to stand out, into the enterprise's competitors, which involves the professional managers professional ethics. It is no wonder that our country's fine tradition of judging talent, is to whether "to morality of talent" prevail, and the world's top 500 GE company is to? Integrity? One of the benchmarks for the selection of talent (January 2000, in the GE top 550 senior managers at a meeting, GE's senior vice president, chief barrister Benjamin W. Heinemann, Jr. said: GE has nothing to stop us from moving forward, but only honesty. GE selects people, first of all, honesty, honesty than the ability to be more important to interview a person whether or not the honesty of the interviewer is determined by a number of Interview examiner *** with the decision. Zhengzhou Baiwen has branches or chain stores in many places in China, such as the branch established in Hangzhou, Hangzhou branch of the general manager of the use of Zhengzhou Baiwen's sales channels to sell their own products, all the income flows into their own accounts, while all the costs have entered the ` account of Zhengzhou Baiwen, so that Zhengzhou Baiwen does not collapse only strange it?! Therefore, professional managers should be diligent and thrifty, honest and public service, serious work, decent life, approachable, words and faith.
Second, professional managers should have the necessary professional skills required by the industry.
Such as those engaged in the IT industry must have a certain degree of computer software, hardware knowledge of the development of the Internet to have an understanding of e-commerce, etc.; engaged in the engineering supervision industry must know the people of civil engineering, engineering budgeting, bidding and tendering knowledge. And regardless of professional managers are not experts in this area, at least must be a professional, with a certain degree of professional knowledge, technical level and ability. Because any management activities are in a specific occasion on a specific business activities and the implementation of such business activities of the management of people, have their business aspects of the special circumstances. If you do not have certain business knowledge, do not understand the nature of the business, business processes and characteristics, you will not be able to make accurate judgments on possible problems, can not give the subordinates to the correct guidance, will inevitably reduce the efficiency of management. For example, the reason why Iacocca was able to save Chrysler on the verge of collapse, a very important factor is that he went to the Chrysler company before the Ford Motor Company worked, and therefore y aware of the characteristics of automotive technology and automotive market. If he had been assigned to a failing chemical plant or an electronics company, the situation might have changed. In addition, professional managers can also borrow all the profound knowledge, rich experience, profound technology and outstanding judgment to constantly win the subordinate's submission. For example: Lenovo's Liu Chuanzhi, Haier's Zhang Ruimin, Vanke's Wang Shi, Changhong's Ni Runfeng, Microsoft's Bill Gates, Yahoo! Gates, Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang, the original Sina's Wang Zhidong and so on are experts in their respective industries.
Three, professional managers should have the necessary management skills:
Such as the basic principles and knowledge of business management, international business management operations; master the basic knowledge of financial management and related skills, related financial systems and regulations; familiar with the basic theoretical knowledge of investment, familiar with the relevant national macroeconomic policy and economic regulations. As a professional manager, must clearly recognize that most of the time should be at the level of the manager, to avoid getting into the specific things inside. Manager" is the "substitute" of "enterprise boss", i.e., the investor of the enterprise appoints part of his rights and responsibilities to the manager, and the manager carries out the work he wants to carry out instead of him. Boss? is more concerned about the external environment of the enterprise, in the fierce turbulence of the unpredictable environment is always concerned about the survival and development of the enterprise. The manager, on the other hand, stands in the shoes of the boss. Boss? The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of how to use the software and how to use it to improve your business, and how to use it to improve your business.
Fourth, professional managers should be familiar with the basic knowledge of modern human resource management, basic theories and methods, as well as relevant laws and regulations, master the basic procedures and methods of human resource management, good at employing people, able to unite people, cohesion.
"Those who fight for the world must first fight for the people, those who take the market must first take the people". The determining factor in the success or failure of the enterprise is the enterprise talent, the competition of the enterprise is still the competition of the enterprise talent in the final analysis. Konosuke Matsushita, who is known as the god of Japanese management, founded and led Matsushita Electric Company, with total assets of more than 4 trillion yen, total sales of nearly 5 trillion yen, and a total of 250,000 employees. Love of talent, thirst for talent, he said: "with excellent talent, the business will prosper; and vice versa will decline. Matsushita Electric Company can have today's development, is because a little more than others know how to use the sake of people. Identify, select, appoint, assess and evaluate and motivate the ability of talent, is a professional manager must have, no matter how outstanding professional managers, are not all-round talent, the need for a number of outstanding talent around it as senior management and management positions. Therefore, as a professional manager, we should respect the staff, pay attention to the staff, know people well, open-minded, set up a people-oriented consciousness, fully stimulate and mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of the staff, to find and tap the potential of the people and to be cultivated and used, so that the staff's personal development and the development of the enterprise as a whole, to achieve the optimal allocation of human resources, the optimization of the configuration of the product structure, to achieve the best economic and social benefits.
On the other hand, it's a good way to make sure that your company has a good team.
Fifth, professional managers should have the ability to design and organize the implementation of strategic planning, and be able to correctly formulate the strategic development goals of the enterprise.
Business strategy is the overall planning for the survival and development of enterprises, grasp the future, is the essence of the company's business strategy, however, because of the uncertainty of the future, it brings the company, not only opportunities, but also often accompanied by risks and threats. Due to the planned economy, enterprises face a simple and fixed external business environment, because most of the state-owned enterprise managers (professional managers) by the traditional concept of the influence, generally ignored the role of corporate strategy to promote business operations. Many managers believe that the enterprise has no strategy is not important, as long as the profit on the line, no strategy can still survive. Some managers recognize the importance of corporate strategy, but think that corporate strategy is very far away from the enterprise, the short term can not be used. In the socialist market economy, the business environment in which enterprises are located has been very different from the past: new technologies, new processes, new materials and new products are emerging, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce and globalization, diversification of customer demand for consumption, complexity and sophistication and so on, a variety of factors intertwined, each other's impact on the complexity of the business environment and the turbulence of the business environment has been a clear feature, which forces the enterprise production to the direction of multi-species, small batch and high-tech development. It forces the enterprise production to multi-species small batch and high-tech direction. The market requires enterprises to supply high-quality, multi-functional, multi-species, fashionable and environmentally friendly products, enterprises must invest a lot of money in research and development of new products, and constantly shorten the delivery time of the products in order to adapt to the ever-changing market. All of these for the daily management is difficult to complete, objectively require the generation of a complex and changing business environment in the case of active change, innovation to maintain the long-term sustainable development of the enterprise's modern management methods, so that the adaptability, innovation as an important feature of the enterprise strategy came into being. Enterprise strategy is linked to the market economy, the survival of the fittest is the law of market competition, enterprise strategy is based on the direction of enterprise development and the objectives to be achieved, the optimization of the allocation of resources, as well as with the design of the appropriate business management system. Enterprise strategy should be reflected through the design of strategic planning, professional managers should have the ability to design and organize the implementation of strategic planning, which is to ensure that the long-term development of enterprises is one of the necessary qualities. Competitiveness is an important condition for the survival of enterprises, but also a prerequisite for the development of enterprises, the essence of enterprise strategy is to improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Nowadays, the world has entered a "borderless competition era", with the deepening of China's reform and opening up and the further integration of China's economy with the world economy, China's enterprises are not only facing increasingly fierce domestic competition, but also facing competition with foreign enterprises. In this case, if the enterprise managers do not have a strategic mind, can not formulate the correct strategic decisions for the enterprise, will be drowned by the sea of market competition at any time. With the rise of the information industry, the knowledge economy requires enterprises to produce not only knowledge-led products, but more importantly, intangible assets. Whether an enterprise can create intangible assets such as reputation, famous brand and popularity will determine the future and destiny of the enterprise. This requires professional managers must establish a strategic investment concept, from the past, mainly invested in machinery, equipment, plants, production lines and other tangible assets to invest in more strategic, long-term intangible assets.
From this point of view, professional managers in the development of corporate strategic decisions to have a market-oriented awareness, customer-first awareness, should be broadened, insight into the future, with strategic thinking, strategic vision and competitive awareness, rapid change of concepts, and gradually set up a peace of mind, far-sighted, enterprising, bold and innovative, bold, risk-taking, flexible and changeable, such as the concept of strategic thinking with the concepts and awareness of the enterprise. Professional managers to personally preside over the design of corporate strategic planning rather than let subordinates overstepping, to accurately grasp the current state of the external operating environment and the future changes in the accurate prediction of the external environment in which the enterprise is often scientific and detailed analysis, the development of a series of strategies for survival and development of the complex and changing environment.
Sixth, professional managers should have insight into the market, the ability to capture business opportunities and excellent decision-making ability.
In the market economy, who can occupy the market who will take the initiative, the victory, the essence of the fight for the market is to fight for customers. For example, in the sixties, the Swiss watch industry did not correctly judge the direction of the future development of market demand for watches, although it has long mastered the production technology of electronic watches, but failed to develop products in a timely manner, and lost the opportunity, resulting in the seventies, there are hundreds of watch factories were forced to close down. At the end of the 1970s, the three major U.S. automobile companies underestimated the international economic environment and were at a loss as to what to do in the face of the oil crisis. On the contrary, Japan's Seiko, Toyota and other companies accurately grasped the international market environment, captured the business opportunities, and achieved remarkable success. This requires professional managers to be good at insight into the market, to capture business opportunities, to have a sense of foresight, long-term awareness.
Seven, professional managers should have the ability to create a harmonious atmosphere and create a vibrant corporate culture. Enterprise is an organization, is composed of many employees team.
I believe that corporate culture is the values and creed embodied in the behavior of business leaders is to drive the basic principles of the enterprise. Some people may think that this is too unreal and elusive, but culture does actually affect all aspects of business activities, whether it is on the market, on the staff, or on the change of innovation and so on. The main body of the enterprise culture is people, where people, both within the enterprise, including decision makers, but also refers to people outside the enterprise, including customers and society. A mature enterprise, to focus on the construction of corporate culture, its culture must be recognized by the customer base (employees and external customers), acceptance, and promotion. Enterprises have to develop sustainably, with different management and operation modes, but their core values are pursued in the same way. That is, the values of professional managers should be consistent with the customer base. Therefore, I believe that a mature enterprise, as far as its culture is concerned, must be *** the same group to reach a consensus on the value orientation, is the enterprise's employees and the enterprise's face of the market and the customer *** the same recognition, acceptance and promotion of the concepts and values. As a professional manager, one of its important responsibilities is to guide the construction of corporate culture. Carefully study those successful enterprises, such as Haier? Sincerity to forever? , TCL create value for customers? and GE, the United States of America, pursuing? Simplicity, speed, confidence? etc., is often the corporate culture, team spirit plays a decisive role. The unique corporate culture and team spirit of the formation of enterprises, to a large extent, with the personal style of professional managers have a relationship. In the modern market economy competition, as the main body of market competition in the enterprise should be professional managers or entrepreneurs to engage in business management, only in this way, in order to realize the separation of ownership and operation, in order to make the enterprise become a "real business", in order to make the business managers become "real entrepreneurs". At present, professional managers in China is still a new thing, China has not yet fully formed the class of professional managers, professional managers market is still in the embryonic state, professional managers market evaluation is still exploring, professional managers rules to be established. However, the rapid development of China's economic market-oriented trend, as well as the reality of the rapid growth of demand for professional managers, which requires us to strengthen the training of professional managers as soon as possible, improve the quality of professional managers, and improve the professional manager system.
