This story has some British humor, but to some extent, it reflects the importance that British culture attaches to discipline. Shakespeare also said: discipline is the class that realizes all ambitions.
In the Advanced Chinese Dictionary, discipline is defined as "rules and regulations that members are required to abide by in order to safeguard collective interests and ensure work." Therefore, discipline is the system.
There is such a passage in the first article of the Confucian classic The Analects. "Ceng Zi said:' I save three times a day-am I unfaithful to people? Don't believe in making friends? "Can you pass it on for me?" "
If we put "cheating for others?" The "people" in the book are regarded as our enterprises. Ceng Zi asks us to ask ourselves three times a day, do we try our best to serve our enterprises? Have we done our best to our colleagues? Therefore, observing discipline is not only an important moral quality, but also the core value of China society.
People often say that shopping malls are like battlefields. The enterprise is the army in the shopping mall. There must be iron discipline on the battlefield, and enterprises without good discipline cannot have strong competitiveness. In some labor-intensive foreign joint ventures in Shenzhen in the early years, observing discipline is the most basic requirement for employees. If they violate it two or three times, they may be fired, which shows that these enterprises really regard discipline as their core value and try their best to maintain it.
Some employees think it's trivial to be late for work and leave early, to speculate in stocks during work hours or to do something else. For this view, we can extend it from the slogan "Time is money" put forward by Shenzhen people in the country: when we go to work in the unit, time belongs to the unit and is used to serve it. If you do something unrelated to work, it is equivalent to "stealing" the time and money of the unit. Some people are lucky enough to think that they can hide it brilliantly, which is caused by insufficient understanding of the importance of discipline.
So, how to improve discipline? Personally, I think there are four points for reference.
First of all, start with understanding. Many people know that the first discipline stipulated by Mr. Zhang Ruimin, president of Haier Company, when he first arrived in Haier more than 20 years ago was "Don't pee in the workshop". However, some people only regarded this incident as the basis of Haier's low management level at that time, but did not notice the real reason why this incident was widely circulated in the industry: Mr. Zhang Ruimin realized the importance of discipline from the beginning and began to establish the majesty of discipline from some relatively easy aspects involving the core values of enterprises.
Second, a positive attitude. I believe in "Heaven rewards diligence". New york Mayor Bloomberg was born in an ordinary family, and he succeeded by his own efforts. When talking about the secret of success, he said that he got many opportunities because he came earlier or left later than others.
Third, strict internal management. Concentrate all kinds of enterprise systems and sort them according to whether they reflect the core values of enterprises and the importance of their connection with enterprise development strategies. Develop training and implementation plans for some of the most important systems, and strengthen inspection and evaluation; For some secondary systems, the frequency of inspection and evaluation can be reduced; Some outdated systems should be abolished in time.
Fourth, make a scientific work plan. For employees, you can take a little time every morning, write down the six most important tasks of the day, and then complete them one by one. If you really can't finish it, you can do it the next day. Stick to it for a while, and you will find that your work efficiency has improved.
Speaking of which, I can't help thinking of geese flying in the blue sky. In spring, geese fly from the south to the north in a "one" or "human" shape; In autumn, geese fly back to the south from the north in a "one" or "human" shape, year after year. Do you know why geese are in neat formation? Some people say that this is a spectacular scenery, neat and orderly. It is also said that geese can reduce their resistance in the air by flying in formation. What we can see is that in order to reach the destination smoothly, the geese adjust their formation and are orderly. This also brings me some enlightenment: if every employee of ours can abide by discipline like a goose, * * * will definitely improve the trust and reputation of the enterprise and win the respect and support of the industry. In his career, such an enterprise will undoubtedly become an invincible team and become more and more brave and invincible.
