0 1 The more subtle it is, the more it can test a person's character.
Akiyama believes that first-class craftsmen have only 40% skills and 60% brains. Where does a good character and mind come from? It depends on the usual habits and bit by bit training. Akiyama is a master and a parent. Apprentices have to worry about their skills and the details of daily life. He asked students to have a sense of time, pay attention to gfd, eat fast and spend money carefully.
Three meals a day. More than two thousand years ago, Confucius taught me that the eater is speechless. Modern, difficult, difficult to go to the sky. How many families have eaten meal after meal around TV. How many people can put down their mobile phones and eat wholeheartedly at present? It is not surprising that human nature and instinct tend to be comfortable and lazy.
Therefore, employees should be trained first after entering the job, and strengthen training day after day within the principles and norms. The finest diamond must be cut.
Akiyama trains students to be "militarized": concentrate on eating, don't chat and don't watch TV. Everything has to start together. Eat quickly. As long as one person slowly falls behind and lets others wait, it will affect the progress of the work. He also explicitly forbids picky eaters, thinking that picky eaters will also choose jobs and people. This kind of people often care about themselves and are self-centered. In the future, they are likely to become uncooperative elements in the team and hinder the development of enterprises. I really know a thing or two, and I have no mercy on eliminating hidden dangers.
Throughout the world's outstanding enterprises, there is a set of strictly enforced norms, one is training and the other is forging. Procter & Gamble is the tenth most praised company in Fortune 500, and it is in the leading position in the industry with a set of employment mechanism.
Procter & Gamble was founded in 1837, with a global staff of 1 10000. It lives and works in more than 80 different countries and regions, and attaches great importance to the cultivation and development of talents. They have a unique talent training mechanism. A former chairman once confidently said that even if you take away our capital, factory and brand, we can rebuild everything within ten years as long as we keep our people. This is the great strength and long-term vitality of enterprise inheritance.

What is the core of enterprise inheritance? Of course, it is the enterprise spirit and culture, and it is an outstanding individual who comes out of strict management. Together, it becomes an invincible team.
"People who always care about time must also be ahead." Pay attention to speed when eating, how can you do other things inefficiently? "Start with willpower and keep the habit." A well-trained team must be invincible.
Is there anyone writing letters now? Give TA great praise
As we all know, words, no matter how beautiful, will soon float in the wind. However, when you are careful, pick up a pen and write down your thoughts, even if it is short and unpretentious, it will last for a long time, and it will always be fresh at room temperature, warming you and me. This is the power of paper letters. Unfortunately, handwritten characters are leaving us.
But Akiyama is a craftsman who abides by tradition. He believes in the power of words, just as he believes in the plane in his hand-words are a sharp knife that can break the ice in people's hearts. He has always insisted that students write thank-you letters and write them diligently, which is regarded as the basic condition for becoming a first-class craftsman. Thank you letters to customers must be written and sent on the same day. Expressing gratitude in words is respect and attention to customers.
How long has it been since you wrote a thank-you note? Even if you write an email. Can't you replace everything with a red envelope? Is it necessary to write to parents, teachers and relatives? Express gratitude to those closest to you? Really not used to it. But if you are not used to it, you should still write, use less routines and express your feelings in your own words. I write my heart by hand.
Woodworkers in Akiyama can also learn another specialty: writing a short work report. Every employee has a sketch book issued by the company and writes a summary report after work every day. It is the work done on the day of the resumption and the rehearsal of what to do the next day. Brother Shi is responsible for writing the comments of the report. This is an indispensable job every day. Constant reflection, review and summary make employees aware of their progress and existing gaps and promote their faster growth.
Every time students write a work report, they attach their current situation and send it home. After being circulated by parents, relatives and friends, they will write words of encouragement on the report and send it to the workshop.
This is a multi-party cooperation mechanism. Akiyama wisely involved the parents, relatives and teachers of the apprentices, and established a group of friends and relatives to work together to cultivate first-class craftsmen. Even if you learn slowly, so what? Relatives will always encourage him. Even if there are mistakes in his work, he will not be depressed. The big brothers will help him and help him improve.

The concern and encouragement of the disciples formed a strong spiritual support. No matter what challenges you meet, you have the strength to face them bravely and overcome them with tenacious will. So they learned to be grateful, to cherish, and to change themselves in order to impress their parents.
"Recording what you learned that day with simple notes can deepen your impression again, which is equivalent to studying harder every day."
A first-class craftsman can learn to keep, learn to break and dare to leave.
The president of West Point Military Academy has a famous saying: "Give me anyone who is not a mental patient, and I can train him into an excellent talent."
For Akiyama, apprenticeship is the best way to train first-class craftsmen with superb skills. He is a first-class craftsman, meticulous in his work and striving for perfection. At the age of sixteen, he began to learn carpentry from his teacher, made furniture for the Japanese royal family at the age of twenty-six, and founded "Akiyama Woodworking" at the age of twenty-seven. From the beginning of his apprenticeship, he deeply knew that only with a first-class mind can he learn first-class technology. But the cultivation of mind and the forging of character can't be done by disciples alone. There must be a strict and standardized system to specify the prohibited items.
According to the standard of employment of carpenters in Akiyama, skills only account for 40%, but conduct accounts for 60%. It is not enough to know how to do things. You have to "know how to do things well" to become a first-class craftsman. And his "Thirty Artisans" is specially explored for the cultivation and education of apprentices.
All apprentices who have passed the examination have been "trained behind closed doors" for five years during the eight-year apprenticeship. Apprentices must eliminate all distractions and external interference, concentrate on their studies, train in a down-to-earth manner, and strictly demand themselves with the standards of first-class craftsmen in every word and deed. Put your heart and soul into your work, face customers with a proactive spirit and a professional attitude, and serve the public.
Then, eight years later, he will be a first-class craftsman with exquisite skills and filial piety to his parents. In this way, apprenticeship has become the cradle of training first-class craftsmen.
This process includes three stages: first, "guarding", being loyal to the form taught by the master and fully absorbing the knowledge and skills taught by the master; The second is to "break" this form and apply it to work to become your own skills; Finally, "leave", be independent of the master, and create a new realm of your own.
Strive tirelessly for improvement.
Of course, learning endlessly and becoming a first-class craftsman does not mean success, nor does it mean enjoying life. In the belief of craftsmen, work is a lifelong practice, and they will spend their whole lives honing their skills and never give up. Just like Jiro Ono, the God of Sushi, he is highly skilled and world-renowned, and he still sticks to his post in his nineties.
The inheritance of mentoring has a long way to go.
Japan's rapid rise after the war and its entry into the ranks of developed countries were attributed to a large number of craftsmen like Akiyama, who did not take shortcuts but worked hard. Akiyama has a high sense of mission, that is, to train first-class craftsmen for Japanese manufacturing. He regards every day with his disciples as a battle.
People who are obsessed with art must be good at art. With first-class character and mind, we must learn first-class technology and have first-class ability to become a leader in leading the industry.
There is a specialization in the industry. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation urgently needs a large number of craftsmen, and first-class craftsmen should start from teenagers. Therefore, some people advocate that education reform should refer to Germany and Japan, whose vocational and technical education and mentoring system are the best. We can learn from other people's good ideas and practices, which will make us grow faster.
