The company is big, how does the boss manage his time?

Many bosses put all their energy and time into work, and as a result, they are very tired. When they come home, they see their family members sullen and in a bad mood. why? At the "Time Management Smart Salon" held by "CEConline" on May 14, well-known trainer Long Yong pointed out that this is a problem with the boss's time management. He believes that time management is essentially self-management. In fact, life is a whole, and work and life will affect each other.

Three Levels

The purpose of time management is to achieve the life we want, namely health, success and happiness. Work is not everything in life. We always say that work is all about family, but how much can family spend? What he needs is companionship, what he needs is life. Success does not equal happiness, success is the achievement of certain pursuits and goals, and there are some social standards for success. Why are many people successful and sometimes unhappy? It is because they are unbalanced. After working hard, he may find that he has nothing to say to his family, the child does not recognize his parents, and his body is broken.

From an overall point of view, time management can be divided into three levels: planning layer, planning layer and behavior layer.

There is a type of management called starting with the end in mind. As a unique individual, it is very important what kind of person you want to be in this world and what impact you want to bring to society. Jobs said a sentence, "What is life for? Change the world." How do you want to change the world?

At the planning level, we should figure out what kind of life we need and how to live a full and meaningful life. Otherwise, life is like climbing a ladder. Trying to climb to the top only to find that the ladder is in the wrong place and the goal is wrong is the biggest tragedy. Many bosses seem to be well-organized every day, very busy, tired and hard, but they always feel very empty and do not know the purpose and meaning of life. Such people need to make demands on themselves at the planning level, and think carefully about where their goals are.

At the planning level, we have many tools, including various forms, software, and tools to help us plan. As an entrepreneur, our duty to our business and company, it requires us to put in a lot of energy, otherwise the business will go wrong but one thing, you have to set the bottom line. What is the bottom line? For example, for the role of a father to a child, you must set how many hours you must spend with your child each month, otherwise work will take away all your time and energy. Regarding the balance of roles, Long Yong suggested to analyze the key roles of non-work, have a bottom line on what to do every month, and then implement it firmly without breaking it.

At the behavioral level we focus on individual habits, key behaviors and skills for doing things. Time management is often related to the habits of managers. For example, many bosses like to do it by themselves, because they are used to being busy every day.

The focus of different stages

The time management matrix has two dimensions of importance and urgency. Bosses need to change from firefighters to builders of organizational skills. Many bosses actually work as firefighters every day, and their living conditions are very tired. After a long time in this state, people's creativity and problem-solving ability will be weakened, which will affect some important decisions. Firefighting is a vicious circle. On the one hand, the boss has to do everything by himself. The people who were supposed to be cultivated are no longer cultivated, and the people below will never grow up.

Huawei's boss, Ren Zhengfei, is neither a technical expert nor a management expert. He is very aware that his role is to build a strong organization that does not depend on individuals. During the development of the company, he spent billions of dollars to invite various companies to do management consulting, and established a strong organizational system capability, so that he did not have to worry about these things every day. This powerful organization has been built. Huawei has lost a lot of talented people over the years, but its competitiveness has not been affected.

The most important role of a business owner is actually to be an organizational capacity builder, to build a business that can operate effectively without the owner. A true organizational builder must understand the most important things that bosses need to do at different stages of business development.

In the stage of entrepreneurship, the biggest asset and core competitiveness of an enterprise is the boss, and the boss's sense of responsibility for the enterprise is the most valuable asset. In the entrepreneurial stage, the most important thing for the boss is to run the business well, so that it can survive and develop. The boss's core job is to identify and define the market, develop products and services, and focus on products at this time. Like Xiaomi's Lei Jun, he rarely holds meetings, has no KPIs, and doesn't consume too much internal management energy. His energy is Constantly communicate with R&D personnel and customers, and pay attention to products. Jobs is the same, he will pay attention to many details of product development.

A business enters a growth phase if its product opens up the market and sales continue to grow. At this time, the enterprise is seriously lacking excellent managers, and the boss should pay more attention to the development and operation system, so that the enterprise management becomes more and more standardized. Entrepreneurs must change from dictatorial thinking, realize that they can push the organization towards standardization, and be able to bring in professional managers and external consultants to make changes and deal with conflicts.

Of course, this stage is also full of challenges and internal conflicts. The business owner is often a person with strong innovation ability and is very sensitive to the market. After the business grows, he realizes that I am not the best business manager and have to find a professional manager. When professional managers came and started to establish various systems, processes and plans, the old people who used to follow the boss to fight the world felt uncomfortable, because these restricted their power and freedom, so they would bypass the professional manager and tell the boss , "This person doesn't understand our company, he will bring down our company." In the end, this professional manager may be kicked out.

Companies in the mature stage have a clear mission, vision and values. At this time, the boss needs to spend time adjusting the management team, constantly combining external introduction and internal training to build a talent supply chain, and at the same time, pay more attention to the formulation of strategies , and grasp of market changes. In strategic decision-making, professional managers are often more likely to seek stability and dare not take risks, but founders are more adventurous. They have a natural sensitivity to the market. When a company is in crisis, they are always capable of overcoming all opinions and turning the tide. . After his comeback in 2009, Liu Chuanzhi once explained the disadvantages of professional managers in managing enterprises: managers who come from the air are often motivated by options, usually only considering the current profits and stock prices of the company, and the short-term behavior is obvious. The entire enterprise will have problems after four or five years. Professional managers have no real sense of ownership and lack of deep affection for the enterprise, which is the root of the problem.

In addition, the inevitable result of enterprise aging is death, because he is farther and farther away from customers, spends more resources and energy on internal relations and internal marketing, and neglects to create value for customers.
