How we draw management experiences from the Romance of The Three Kindoms (Ⅱ)

07/02/2023
Our factory starts the learning journey from this the Romance of The Three Kindoms from the dimensions of strategic decision-making, personnel training, cohesion of people's hearts, and cultural construction.Let’s talk about the aspect of  how to do best decision-making & personnel training in today’s article.
2. Good at decision-making
Enterprise decision-making is the process of selecting the most suitable plan from alternative plans in accordance with certain procedures and methods in order to achieve enterprise goals under certain constraints. On the eve of the Battle of Chibi,the war faction and the peace faction within the Soochow Group held their own opinions. In the end, Lu Su's persuasion contributed to Chairman Sun Quan's determination to fight. The reason for this is precisely that Lu Su took Sun Quan's vital interests as his starting point, rather than other counselors "put forward their opinions based on their own interests".
So, how did our factory learn from this? 
Our factory did not form a fixed keynote for its product strategy at the beginning of the establishment of the factory, but after more than a year of exploration, it gradually formed a product selection and development idea of "cartridge seals and bellow seals as the main body, component seals and split & agitator seals as the two wings". 
Do you know how this idea formed? This idea is determined jointly by the company's management after research and discussion with the production department, technical department and product managers. At that time, the product manager proposed to focus on the research and development of the cartridge seal type,split seal type and bellow seal type, while the technical department suggested replacing the split seal type with component seal type, because the number of component seal users are more, and they think their suggestion is more conducive to the company's development for the customer base can be enlarged in the early stage of development.
                    
3. Trust people and employ people (response to talent gap)
The problem of talents is the fundamental problem of whether modern enterprises can achieve sustainable development.Although Zhuge Liang made a future strategic plan for the enterprise of Shu State (that is, the Longzhong judgement mentioned above), he did not make a supporting human resource plan, which led to the emergence of "there is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua who have low ability is appointed as the pioneer" phenomenon. Zhuge Liang himself was also hands-on, and it cannot be said that his death had nothing to do with "death from overwork".
So how did our factory learn from this?
A technical backbone of our factory once lived in two places with his wife and children,so he had the idea of resigning from his post and going to other places. After learning about the situation, the leader of our factory invited his wife to work in our factory according to her own talents. This right decision solved the problem of brain drain or unstable conditions of workers' work mentality.
