Urgently seeking ancient Chinese fables about the workplace or management! the more, the better
There were many fables about the workplace or management in ancient China. The following are some of them: The story is about an old man who wanted to extend his life by living longer, so he asked his turtle to seek immortality. But the turtle was unwilling to leave its shell. Finally, the old man had to sigh,"Everyone has their own strengths, just like the turtle has its own lifespan." This story expressed the concept of "people-oriented" in management, that is, managers should respect the personality and needs of employees and let them give full play to their talents. " Squeezing Toothpaste ": The protagonist in the story wanted to squeeze out more toothpaste, but because he squeezed it very tightly every time, he could only squeeze out a little bit each time. When his friends asked him why he couldn't squeeze out more toothpaste, he replied,"I squeeze the toothpaste so tightly every time, so of course I can only squeeze out a little bit." This story expressed the concept of "moderate management" in management science, that is, managers should control the behavior of employees appropriately instead of making employees overly nervous and anxious. Kangaroo and Book: The kangaroo in the story wants a good book but can't find it. It asked its friend,"If I can bring the book into the tree hole, I will have this book." The friend replied,"Impossible." The book and the tree hole are adjacent. You can't bring the book into the tree hole." This story expressed the concept of "management by objectives" in management science, that is, managers should clearly set goals and effectively track and evaluate the progress of employees. 4 The Bee and the Fly: The fly in the story wants to get some honey, but he is always surrounded by bees. He asked the bee,"why are you always so busy and I am always surrounded by you?" The bee replied,"We are here to attract more bees, not to get honey." This story expressed the concept of "teamwork" in management, that is, employees should work together instead of doing things separately.
