The competition of enterprises is ultimately the competition of talents. Talent is indispensable for enterprises to employ people. Therefore, when recruiting personnel, enterprises often put what culture and skills they have in an important position. "Talent is wealth" and "Talent is everything" seem to be a kind of * * * knowledge of employers and job seekers in enterprises and institutions.
With regard to the definition of talents, the annotation in Modern Chinese Dictionary is: "A person with both ability and political integrity has a certain specialty".
thus, the greatest feature of "talents" is "having both ability and political integrity". Virtue without talent is not an ideal talent, and talent without virtue is also not a qualified talent. If the employer only pays attention to the so-called talents or skills, but ignores the moral quality that he should have as a person, the result is often counterproductive.
This is a real case: an enterprise recruited two salesmen, Wang and Liu. After two months' work, Xiao Wang made his debut, and brought a lot of profits to the company with his outstanding talent, which won the envy of his colleagues and the appreciation of his boss. The boss praised her many times at the meeting and trained her as the backbone of the business. In order to realize her personal desires as soon as possible, she tried to please the boss blindly, looked at his face and acted carefully, tried to figure out his psychology, flattered him, and won his favor. It didn't take long for her to take the position of business manager. At this time, her true colors gradually emerged from the water, and she was arrogant and much ado about nothing, which caused serious estrangement and contradictions among various departments, which made a good company in a mess and caused great losses to the enterprise.
However, compared with Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu is down-to-earth, kind to his job, dedicated, honest, never striving for fame and wealth, and ready to help others. Although he has not been reused, he still strives to do his job well. In the end, he not only creates economic benefits for the enterprise, but also gains everyone's recognition for his excellent moral character and being a good person, and makes his enterprise win praise from customers and the industry.
there has always been a dispute over the choice between "virtue" and "talent". There is a saying: when dealing with troubled times, you need to "be the first"; In times of peace, "virtue" should come first. In a sense, this statement, although reasonable, always makes people feel biased. "Virtue" is fundamental and long-term, and cannot be created in an emergency. Virtue is like a steering wheel, and talent is like an engine. A talent without virtue, like a car without a steering wheel, will go astray, and the greater the engine horsepower, the more harmful it will be. In this regard, Kong Old Master Q's point of view is: "To govern with morality, for example, Beichen lives in its place and the stars arch it." Sima Guang also told Song Shenzong in the first volume of Zi Zhi Tong Jian: Talent and virtue are different, and the relationship between them is "talent, virtue is also the capital;" Virtue, talent is handsome. " It is pointed out that only when Desheng is called a "gentleman" can he be called a "villain" when he wins virtue.
turning the page of history, people who have "talent" but no "virtue" often accomplish nothing or are ruined. Such as Jiang Lang, whose talents are exhausted, and Qin Gui, who is spurned by thousands of people, and so on. As early as 1957, the famous Samsung Group began to put forward that the basis for public selection of talents was personality, intelligence and health. When Li Bingzhe, the chairman of the board of directors, chooses people first, then talents. They ask employees to learn to be human first.
There is an old saying in China, be a man before you do things. Being a man is the basis of doing things. If people can't do well, they will inevitably do bad things. The Italian poet Dante has a famous saying: A person with incomplete knowledge can make up for it with morality, but a person with incomplete morality is difficult to make up for it with knowledge. Therefore, both enterprises and institutions must pay attention to both ability and political integrity, and the practice of overemphasizing talents and neglecting morality is not conducive to the growth of talents and the long-term development of the cause.
