Can a strong sense of responsibility stimulate people's potential?

For an enterprise, it is important to improve the ability of employees, but it is more important to stimulate and awaken the sense of responsibility of employees. You know, a strong sense of responsibility makes employees' potential swing to the extreme.

A strong sense of responsibility can awaken a sleeping "giant" in one's heart, this sleeping "giant"

It is potential. Potential is like the sea water under the iceberg, which is contained in us. According to experts, the average person has only played 5% ~10% of his potential; Excellent people are only about 15%. It can be seen that the potential is a huge or even infinite treasure that can be developed and utilized. I hope that each of our employees will break the iceberg, tap their own potential, do what they usually think is impossible and do what others think is difficult. When your potential is really exploited, even you will be surprised!

Xu Sanduo, the hero of the TV series Soldier Assault, is a "silly boy" in the countryside. In order to give him a good future, his father forced him to join the army. When I first arrived at the No.7 Iron and Steel Company, I was a frustrated "good soldier". After the training of recruits, because he is a "mule" among soldiers-a good soldier, he was assigned to Class 5, Hongsanlian, which is far away from the regimental headquarters. However, two years later, Xu Sanduo not only won a number of military skill awards, but also entered the Old A Army and became the elite of the special forces. What inspired Xu Sanduo's potential and made him grow from a "good soldier" to a "soldier king"? This is a sense of responsibility.

Let's talk slowly about Xu Sanduo's experience-in order to win back the mobile red flag of the advanced class, 50 poles were wrapped around his abdomen, and then, one lap, one lap, and one lap, he finally won 333; In order not to hold the company back in the exercise, we trained, trained and retrained, and finally captured the "enemy" generals alive; In order to become a real soldier, work hard, work hard, and work hard again, and finally successfully advance to the old A Army. Driven by this strong sense of responsibility, Xu Sanduo's potential has been stimulated. Through hard work, he succeeded in accomplishing the almost impossible task.

Whether in the army or enterprises, military training or production and operation, the task is accomplished in this way. Awakening and stimulating the sense of responsibility of soldiers or employees will enable soldiers or employees to give full play to their potential, thus achieving the goal of completing the task.

Speaking of human potential, there is another story:

In a country in Africa, one Sunday, a mother took her children to cut wood in the jungle near her home. Children are playing nearby. Suddenly, a big bear jumped out of the grass and pounced on the child. Seeing that her child is going to be a meal in the belly of a big bear, the mother doesn't know where she got the courage and strength. Undaunted, she waved an axe and tried to chop down the bear and save her child.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a woman to kill a bear several times stronger than herself. But at the critical moment, out of the responsibility of protecting the child and the love of a mother, she played an impossible courage and strength and killed the bear. This is the magical power produced by the sense of responsibility, which can bring people's potential into full play. The same is true in the workplace. A sense of responsibility can make an employee have the best state, devote himself energetically to his work and give full play to his potential.

Mr. Carr is the president of a shipping company in America. He promoted a potential person to be the director of a shipyard with backward production. After half a year, the production situation of this shipyard still can't meet the production target.

"What's the matter?" After listening to the director's report, Mr. Carr asked, "Why can't a talented person like you come up with a feasible way to motivate them to reach the specified production target?"

"I don't know." The factory director replied: "I have used the method of increasing bonuses, and I have also used the means of forcible suppression to intimidate them, and even threatened them with dismissal or scolding ... but no matter what way I take, I can't change the current situation of lazy workers." They just don't want to work. If they can't, recruit new people and let them go! "

As the sun sets, night shift workers come to the factory one after another. "Give me a piece of chalk," said Mr. Carr, and then he turned to the nearest day worker. "How many production units have you completed today?"

"Six."

Mr. Carl wrote a big and striking "6" on the wall, and then left without saying a word. When the night shift workers came into the workshop and saw the word "6", they asked what it meant.

"Mr. Carr is here for inspection today," said the day shift worker. "He asked us how many units we had completed, and we told him six, so he wrote' 6' on the wall."

The next morning, Mr. Carr walked into the workshop again. The night shift workers have erased the word "6" and replaced it with a big word "7". When the day shift workers came to work the next morning, they saw a big "7" written on the wall.

Night shift workers think they are better than day shift workers, don't they? Ok, they will give the night shift workers some color to see see! They went all out to add kidneys, and swaggering left a "10" before work.

The production situation is getting better and better. Soon, the output of this once backward factory surpassed that of other factories in the company.

In this way, Mr. Carr skillfully uses a number to arouse employees' strong sense of responsibility, so that employees can give full play to their abilities and achieve the purpose of improving production efficiency.

It can be seen that the sense of responsibility of employees is very important. However, to our regret, in real life and work, responsibility is often ignored, and people always emphasize ability unilaterally.

Indeed, it is the ability to directly attack the enemy on the battlefield; It is also the ability to directly create benefits for the company in the shopping mall. Responsibility, however, does not seem to play a direct role in cracking down on the enemy and creating benefits. Perhaps because of this, people attach importance to ability and ignore responsibility.

When recruiting new employees, most enterprises always pay attention to such questions as "What ability do you have", "What job can you do" and "What specialty do you have", but seldom pay attention to such questions as "Can you integrate into our company's culture", "Do you agree with our company's philosophy" and "How do you understand your love for the company".

Executives will unconsciously make similar mistakes when assigning tasks. They overemphasize what employees can do and ignore what employees are willing to do.

No matter how strong an employee is, if he is unwilling to pay, he can't create value for the enterprise, but an employee who is willing to pay wholeheartedly for the enterprise can create the greatest value even if his ability is slightly inferior. This is what we often say: "Do A-level things with B-level talents" and "Do B-level things with A-level talents". Whether a person is a talent is the key, but the most important thing is whether this talent is a person who is really responsible for his work and really takes his work seriously.

Of course, emphasizing the importance of responsibility is not a denial of ability. A person who has only a sense of responsibility but no ability is a useless person. Responsibility needs performance to prove that performance is created by ability.
