Li Ka Shing: is there any art in management?

my company has been established for 55 years, from a small company with several people in 1950 to an enterprise with more than 200000 employees in 52 countries around the world today. I dare not compare with those masters of management. I have no chance to go to school. I have been studying hard and pursuing new knowledge and knowledge all my life. Is there any art in management

look up the dictionary, and the definition of "art" can be simply summarized as human heartfelt creation, behavior, principle, method or expression, which is generally aesthetic, transcendent and resonant. It is a knowledge that can be obtained through learning, imitation, practice and observation

I often ask myself, do you want to be the boss or leader of a team? Generally speaking, being a boss is simple; Your power mainly comes from your position, which can come from fate or rely on your efforts and professional knowledge. Being a leader is more complicated; Your strength comes from the charm and appeal of human nature. To be a successful manager, attitude is as important as ability. Leaders lead people and urge others to work willingly; The boss only knows how to dominate people and make others feel small

if you want to be a good manager, the first task is to know that self-management is a major task. In a world of mobility and change, finding out who you are and knowing who you want to be is a way to build dignity, and the risk of falling off the thin plaster system is also greater; Current foundation. The principles of "self-cultivation", "self-examination" and "not deceive the dark room" of Confucianism and the religious laws of the West focus on this topic. There are countless books and secrets of self-appreciation in bookstores and online. I think self-management is a kind of static management: it is the basic skill of cultivating rational power and the catalyst for people to turn knowledge and experience into ability

this "chemical reaction" starts with a series of questions. In different stages of life, we should often reflect on ourselves and ask ourselves: what is my wish? I have a grand dream of an unexpected rapid rebound in coal prices, but do I know what is the passion of moderation? I have the determination to fight my fate, but do I have the courage to face fear? I have confidence and opportunity, but do I have the mind of practical intelligence? I am confident and talented, but do I have the mental strength to handle appropriately when facing the downstream and countercurrent? Your answer may vary according to time, event, situation and situation, but thinking is the shield that God bestows on mankind to defend destiny. Many people always confuse improper self-management with bad luck. This is a very negative and helpless attitude towards life to a certain extent

when I was 14 years old and a poor boy, I had a very simple management method for myself - I had to earn enough money to survive. I know that I can't change my fate without knowledge. I know that today I have no capital to aim high. I also want to fly high, and I often remember my grandmother's exclamation in my head: "ah Cheng, when can we be as rich as someone in Chaozhou?" I don't want to fall with wings made of wax like Icarus in Greek mythology. On the one hand, I kept to my role. Although I was only a small worker at that time, I insisted that everything entrusted to me was done properly and excellently; On the other hand, never waste time, and spend any remaining money on practical old books. Because if there is a lack of knowledge, the degree is far from people, then the time of luck does not know. Another important point is that being neat and clean is a manifestation of self-discipline, but people who can choose self-discipline and spiritual attitude are more likely to be appreciated

at the age of 22, after I founded the company, my enterprising morality and personality are more different for me. I hope to take the lead in bringing every detail of innovation to consumers through mature models. At this time, the perseverance of "being able to endure" and "working without complaint" needs to be given new connotation. Will needs to be combined with knowledge. The method of static self-management should be extended to dynamic management. The core of the problem is how to avoid smart organizations doing stupid things. There may be no established equation for success, but the factors of failure are obvious. Establishing a framework to reduce failure is a shortcut to success. The word "if" has a new meaning for me. The ability to think more and make more profits has great value. You should know that "hindsight" has only a narrow contribution in the commercial society. The most unique thing about human beings is not only that we have the intelligence to think about the essence of things, but also that we have the ability to abide by commitments, correct and update, adhere to values and pursue goals

the flexible system of business structure should be based on the mechanism of seeking truth from facts and self correction and recovery (check and balance). I mean not only the accounting system, but also the release of power in tension and the establishment of an inflexible and adaptable system in the areas of trust, time and ability. You may have heard me say that enterprises should seek leaping progress in stability. The small points under the general heading should include but not limited to: open source vs. throttling, supervision and governance vs. creativity and authorization, intuition vs. scientific view, knowledge vs. infinite development Wait

each organization has different challenges, and it is difficult to have prefabricated components that are absolutely universal and applicable. To be honest, my analysis of many surface experts who follow others is "respectful", and I know it well. To put it mildly, sometimes everyone is in the right direction, but what they play is their fists and legs, and their posture is wrong. It is most important for managers to have a deep experience and understanding of what they are responsible for and the organization they are in. Knowing the details can often prevent the occurrence of a crisis in advance
