Zeng Shiqiang’s classic sayings (Leadership’s motivation and coordination) (2010-02-07 23:36:00) Reprint tags: True or False Chinese Quotations about Face Zeng Shiqiang’s Miscellaneous Talk Category: Making irresponsible remarks

1. Organization is necessary because individual abilities are limited. The purpose of organization is to unite and divide labor reasonably; when you can have full control, you don’t need to add layers.

2. Cadres have no face, and face must be given to the president; if cadres want face, you will die.

3. Division of labor is a sin and a conspiracy, because when there is no division of labor, everyone has great fun doing things, but once the labor is divided, there is no fun at all. It makes the work very monotonous and makes the workers unskilled. But organization can enable unskilled workers to produce very, very technical things. So today we cannot work alone, so organization is a necessary division of labor. If you can't cooperate, you don't want to divide the work.

4. Westerners make right and wrong clear and open, while we make right and wrong vague. Each level of the organization has its own style, and there is no right or wrong. Grassroots employees know right and wrong very clearly (because their work is very simple), but cadres have a very unclear idea of ??right and wrong. At the CEO level, there is basically no right and wrong.

5. Chinese cadres are smartest when they are with the president (superior).

6. The president is the head, with no eyes and ears but only eyes and ears. His main function is to think rather than move; the cadre is the body, with no eyes and ears but only hands and feet.

7. People will be very efficient only when they do things for themselves, and they will be procrastinating when doing things for others. If an organization can make the group look like one person, the efficiency will be high.

8. The Chinese are the most emotional people in the world, and the Chinese are the best at managing emotions. (Foreigners act according to rules and rarely have emotions)

9. Chinese people are afraid of authority, but do not obey authority.

10. The ability to discover problems is more important than the ability to solve problems. There are many Chinese people who can solve problems, but very few who can find them. Because he is unwilling to speak out, you will find that those who speak out are unlucky. The person who caused the problem is unlucky, but the one who solves the problem gets credit. It’s strange! Therefore, China either has no problems or it has a big problem.

11. Chinese people have a habit of not evaluating a living person. Because he will change while alive, but will not change after death. Only by closing the coffin can we decide!

12. There is no problem with capital, no problem with technology, no problem with the market, there is no problem with anything but people. Everything is a human problem. If you do a good job, you can do anything; if you don't do a good job, you will have problems sooner or later.

13. Westerners talk about ability, but Chinese people don’t. We talk about ability but not ability. A person who has ability but no ability will sooner or later become a problem person. What is ability? To be capable, you need to be popular with everyone. A person who has the ability to be unconventional and make others dislike him will sooner or later become a troublemaker. If you are capable, you should respect others and let others have face, and they will support you.

14. China is a country of collective leadership and individual decision-making. Collective leadership is the process and individual decision-making is the outcome.

15. What we are most afraid of is that the salary here is really meager, but everyone outside is making money for themselves. The Chinese will not tell you the truth if they want to leave. He is not lying to you, but giving you face. Good to get together and good to go. People cannot deceive, but they often cannot tell the truth. You will be even worse off if you tell the truth, even worse than if you lie.

16. Anyone who is trusted by the boss will do nothing but focus on other things. He specializes in other things, is extremely busy, and is the boss's favorite person! (Haha...) It’s just that the Chinese don’t divide labor. Once they divide labor, there will be a zone of three disregards.
