On March 28, 2020, at the morning meeting of all cadres, Mr. Wang Fenghua, the general manager, let Liao Duanliang, the warehouse supervisor, share his experience of long-distance running, and take this as an introduction to expound how to promote the professionalization and career of management cadres by cultivating their interest in work.
What is interest? Interest is people's psychological tendency to know something or engage in some activities. It is based on the need to know and explore external things, and it is an important motive to promote people to know things and explore truth. From the point of view of psychology, interest is a positive, tendentious and selective attitude and emotion produced by individuals with specific things, activities and human beings.
So what are the positive effects of cultivating employees' interest in work?
1. Interest plays an important role in promoting the degree of specialization of their work.
Interest is a kind of tendentious activity with strong emotion. It can make people concentrate on acquiring knowledge and creatively complete the current activity so as to become more professional. We take the warehouse supervisor as an example. If the warehouse supervisor is interested in his work, he will continue to learn all kinds of knowledge about warehouse management, such as storage planning, material warehousing and ex warehouse, material in warehouse management, storage and security of warehousing materials, material inventory control, material identification, etc., and collect and learn advanced logistics management such as JD, Amazon, etc In the process of logistics management, the advanced experience of these successful enterprises is used for reference or practical work. Interest can promote him to study in work and work in study. In the process of continuous learning and practice, his own management skills will continue to improve, his warehouse management experience will become more and more rich, and his degree of specialization will naturally become higher and higher.
2. Interest can improve the initiative of work.
Subjective initiative refers to the initiative of human subjective consciousness and practical activities to the objective world. There are two meanings of subjective initiative: one is people's active understanding of the objective world; the other is the active transformation of the objective world under the guidance of cognition. For the warehouse supervisor, the subjective initiative is to use a professional perspective to find problems, and actively solve problems, improve the level of warehouse management. A supervisor who is interested in warehouse management should constantly reflect on how to realize the "four presses" of the company, that is, "order by order, return on demand, issue on time and clear on time". By exploring, pondering and researching, we can find new and advanced management methods, so as to make the storage work more standardized. And cooperate with the planning and production departments to achieve the management requirements of "what is sent is arranged, what is arranged is done, and what is done is needed". If the warehouse supervisor is not interested in his own work, he lacks subjective initiative in warehouse management. Psychologically, there is a blind spot in such bad phenomena as unclear material identification, improper storage management, overstock of inventory, data confusion, and there is no motivation or desire to improve and improve the warehouse management.
3. Interest can make one's career.
There is a story of "rat prison" in the era of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Zhang Tang, the protagonist of the story, once held the posts of Ting Wei and Imperial officer when Emperor Wu of Western Han Dynasty. He presided over and tried many important cases all his life. He was an effective general of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and the most famous minister in charge of law in all dynasties of China. When he was a child, he had shown his potential as a judge and had a strong interest in adjudicating cases. Once his father went out, he was alone at home, and the mouse stole the meat. When his father came back, he was very angry and started beating him. Zhang Tang then digs the rat hole and catches the rat. The meat stolen by the rat has not been used up, and the "rat" gains all the stolen goods. Zhang Tang interrogates rats, records confessions, writes documents, and finally convicts them, and punishes them with a "cross sentence" (an ancient form of torture, which involves cutting flesh and bones, limbs and throat). Because Zhang Tang had a strong interest in adjudication since he was a child, so he learned to interrogate rats according to the trial procedure at a young age that his father came home to see that his confession was written by an experienced jailer. It was his interest since childhood that finally made him famous. Professor Ding Zhaozhong, a famous Chinese scholar in the United States, once said with deep feeling: "the most important thing for any scientific research is to see if you are interested in the work you are engaged in, in other words, if you have a sense of career, there can be no coercion..." In the same way with Zhang Tang, it is the interest that promotes Professor Ding Zhaozhong's career and urges him to be eager to find what he wants to explore. He stays in the laboratory for two days, two nights, or even three days and three nights, and keeps by the instrument.
From these successful cases of interest cultivation, career aspiration, and achievement of a person's career or reputation, we get some inspiration from them, that is, by cultivating our employees' interest in work, we can improve their degree of specialization, make them regard work as their own career, and finally become an excellent professional manager or industrial worker. In addition to training, we should also start with the selection and employment of personnel, including some employees who are not interested in their work and management cadres who have no long-term inaction, sense of responsibility, ambition and career aspirations into the focus of investigation, and implement the elimination mechanism for them when necessary. We should make "good people come in and bad people go out". Only in this way can our management level rise to a new level, and Ouhai's business will be on the upgrade
