Strengthen management work principles Strictly implement work responsibilities
—— Interpretation of General Manager Song's management philosophy
"Where there is work, there must be a plan; where there is a plan, there must be an arrangement; where there is an arrangement, there must be a check; where there is a check, there must be a result; where there is a result, there must be a responsibility; where there is a responsibility, there must be rewards and punishments." These words from Chairman Song are a high-level summary of the logical relationships between several links in work, which can be described as incisive, thorough, concise, and capturing the key points: it emphasizes the need to "strengthen management work principles and strictly implement work responsibilities," revealing the necessary conditions for successful enterprise management.
In real life, regardless of the industry or position, there must be a detailed and specific plan and arrangement beforehand; only in this way can work proceed in an orderly manner, be tense and organized, and achieve twice the result with half the effort. If one goes against this principle, it will inevitably lead to confusion, a lack of prioritization, and wasted effort, resulting in twice the effort for half the result. In other words, the more specific and detailed the plan and arrangement, the less effort will be required, and the better the effect will be. Of course, the plan and arrangement are two indispensable links that cannot be confused with each other. After a plan is made, if there is no arrangement, it can only be called an empty plan; without a plan, there can be no arrangement.
The subsequent two links of check and result,"Check" exists in the process of implementing the plan and arrangement, serving the role of supervision and urging. Whether there is any cutting corners, whether full effort is being made, whether there is slackness, whether actions are slow, whether there are oversights, and whether there are loopholes can be timely discovered through checks, allowing for effective containment, eradication, or correction, thus preventing any impact on work progress, preventing increased losses, and preventing higher costs. This will improve work efficiency and ensure work effectiveness. Otherwise, without the check link, the aforementioned phenomena are bound to occur, leading to unnecessary losses in work. Therefore, the results of checks must be published on time and reported promptly to exert their intended effectiveness. If problems discovered during checks are not reported to the operators in a timely manner, the checks will not serve their intended purpose, losing their significance. Therefore, wherever there is a check, there must be a result.
The results of checks are nothing more than success and failure, experience and lessons. In order to ensure that orders are followed, prohibitions are enforced, and to effectively curb cutting corners and slackness, timely identification of deficiencies and corrections must be implemented, and a responsibility accountability system must be established, with responsibilities clearly assigned to individuals. Otherwise, after the checks, if it is just considered a job well done without assigning responsibilities, the checks will be left hanging in mid-air, akin to doing a half-hearted job, wasting effort, and achieving nothing. In summary, the responsibility accountability system is a necessary condition for the effective implementation of check results and a practical guarantee of work effectiveness.
Taking a step further, after responsibilities are clearly assigned, in order to encourage operators to actively implement their duties and enhance their initiative and proactivity, a reward and punishment mechanism must be established and improved. Only in this way can the situation of pushing and pulling without progress be avoided. Without a reward and punishment mechanism, relying solely on professional ethics cannot ensure that responsibilities are effectively implemented. Professional ethics are not something everyone can strictly adhere to. Therefore, this is the combination of benevolent governance and rule of law, where both professional ethics and reward and punishment measures must be strong, and both spiritual and material civilization must be emphasized, with the former as the foundation and the latter as the guarantee.
Looking at the nearly forty-year history of enterprise development of Xinya Company, from a small workshop with just a few people to the current scale of seventeen production units with two to three thousand employees, it can be said that this is the most powerful proof of the aforementioned theory. To this day, the weekly report system, monthly report system, performance appraisal plans, and notifications are all concrete embodiments of this theory. Not only Xinya, but in a broader sense, all successful units in various industries are no exception.
In summary, work, plans, arrangements, checks, results, responsibilities, and rewards and punishments are all interrelated as necessary conditions and results. The term necessary means that it must be present; without it, there will be failure, and with it, there will be success.
