Importance of implementation

Insufficient execution indicates that there is a problem with management. Without execution, there will be no competitiveness and the implementation problem will not be solved. Execution is a science, and any leader needs to master this science, which is also the only way to establish leadership prestige. The following is a story about the importance of execution that I carefully collected for you. Welcome to read!

The importance story of execution 1 The so-called execution refers to the operational ability to carry out strategic intentions and achieve predetermined goals, and is the key to transforming enterprise strategies and plans into benefits and results. Execution includes the willingness to complete the task, the ability to complete the task, and the degree to complete the task. Execution: for individuals, execution is the ability to do things; For the team, execution is combat effectiveness; For enterprises, execution is management ability. The standard to measure execution is to complete one's work tasks on time, in quality and in quantity; For the enterprise, it is to complete the strategic goal of the enterprise within the scheduled time.

First, the influence of details on execution.

Case 1: Hanging bells on cats

A group of mice had a meeting to discuss how to deal with the cat attack. A mouse who is considered clever suggested hanging a bell around the cat's neck. In this way, when the cat walks, the bell will ring, so that the mouse who hears the bell can run away in time. Everyone agrees that this is a good idea. But who will hang the bell for the cat? How to hang it? These details cannot be solved. As a result, "hanging bells on cats" has become an empty talk of mice and a joke of mankind.

Comments: Any strategic decision-making and laws and regulations should think of details and pay attention to details. Any neglect of details may lead to mistakes in decision-making, let alone implementation.

Case 2: the paper ball on the carpet

There is a company that recruits senior management talents, and a group of applicants have a second interview. Although the candidates answered the examiner's simple questions confidently, they were not hired and had to leave with dissatisfaction. At this time, an applicant walked into the door and saw a paper ball on the carpet. The carpet is clean and the paper ball doesn't look right. The applicant bent down to pick up the paper ball and prepared to throw it into the wastebasket. At this time, the examiner spoke: "Hello, my friend, please look at this paper ball you picked up!" " The applicant hesitated to open the paper ball, only to see it read: "warmly welcome you to work in our company." "A few years later, the paper-picking candidate became the president of this famous company.

Comments: A casual detail determines the success or failure of the interview, and it also shows that people's quality is expressed by details.

Case 3: Boldness and Caution

A medical college professor said to his students on the first day of class, "When you are a doctor, the most important thing is to be bold and cautious!" " "Say that finish, he put a finger into a cup full of urine on the table, and then put his finger in his mouth. Then the professor handed the cup to the students and let them learn how to do it. Watching every student put his finger into the cup and put it in his mouth, enduring the mess of vomiting, he smiled slightly and said, "Yes, yes, each of you is brave enough." Then the professor was sad again: "it's a pity that you didn't pay enough attention." You didn't notice that I put my index finger in the urine cup, but my middle finger was in my mouth! "

Comments: The original intention of the professor is to educate students to pay attention to details in scientific research and work. I believe that students who have tasted urine should be able to remember this "lesson" all their lives without paying attention to details. The stronger their execution, the greater their mistakes.

Second, the influence of communication on execution.

Case 4: Scholars Buy Materials

A scholar went to buy materials. He said to the seller, "whoever pays, come here!" " "The seller doesn't know the word' wage earners' (people who take materials), but he knows the word' come here', so he took the materials to find a scholar. The scholar asked him, "What is the price? "The seller didn't quite understand this sentence, but he knew the word' price' and told the scholar the price. The scholar went on to say, "The exterior is solid and the interior is weak. More smoke, less flame. Please damage it. "Your wood is dry outside, but it is wet inside. When it burns, there will be more smoke and less flame. Please lower the price. The seller didn't understand the scholar's words and left with the materials. It is best for managers to convey information in simple language and easy-to-understand words, and to grasp the object and opportunity of speaking. Sometimes excessive modification can't achieve the expected purpose.

Comments: Understanding the communication object is the basis of our communication.

Case 5: the dilemma of buying copy paper

A boss asked an employee to buy copy paper. The staff went to buy three sheets of paper. The boss shouted, three stacks of paper, how is it enough? I want at least three stacks. The employee went to buy three stacks of copy paper the next day. The boss looked at it and shouted, How did you buy B5? I want A4. A few days later, the employee bought three stacks of A4 copy paper, and the boss scolded: How come it takes a week to buy it? Employee: You didn't say when you wanted it. Just bought copy paper, the employee ran three times, and the boss was angry three times. The boss will shake his head and sigh, and the execution of employees is too poor! Employees will say in their hearts that the boss is incompetent and can't even figure out a task, which will only make subordinates busy in vain!

Comments: Effective communication requires two-way communication, which is the most important part of the management mechanism.

Third, the influence of individuals on execution.

Case 6: barrel effect

A bucket full of water, as long as a piece of wood is removed, there is no water in the bucket; If the top of the bucket is uneven, then the water can only be in the lowest part of the top. Judging from this effect, the same is true for enterprises. Today's enterprises can't rely on one person, one resource and one advertisement for "long-term stability", but every employee of this enterprise should be "refined". Because people are substitutes, if everyone's ability and quality are quite strong, then its overall substitution is very small, and core human capital will gain a relative quantitative advantage! Therefore, some highly competitive or high-tech enterprises must take human resources as the top priority, make overall plans, shape "expert" groups or organizations, and turn human strength into a winning situation.

Comments: The result of implementation depends on the employee with the worst execution, so it is necessary to continuously improve the quality of employees.

Fourth, the influence of leadership on execution.

Case 7: Cao Cao cut his hair and changed his head.

In the summer and April of the third year of Jian 'an, on the way to Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao gave an order that all soldiers should not trample on crops when passing through wheat fields, otherwise they would be beheaded. One day, Cao Cao rode a horse to March, and suddenly a pigeon flew out of the ground in horror, so Cao Cao's mount jumped into the wheat field in horror and trampled a large area of wheat. Cao Cao immediately summoned the marching master book and demanded that it be handled by military law. The master book was embarrassed, but Cao Cao said, "I made a ban myself. How can I convince the public if I don't punish them? " Immediately took out the sword he carried with him and prepared to commit suicide. The left and right attendants came to rescue him. At this moment, Guo Jia, the counselor, quickly quoted Chunqiu as an excuse. At this time, Cao Cao went with the flow and said, "Since Spring and Autumn Annals means' disrespect for law', my aunt will not die", but he still picked up his sword, cut off a bunch of his hair and threw it on the ground, saying to his subordinates, "The right to cut hair comes first" and ordered them to pass it on to the three armed forces. After seeing it, the soldiers were more afraid of their commanders and did not disobey orders. This is the story of Cao Cao's haircut.

Comments: This story emphasizes the role of leadership.

V. Impact of the plan on implementation

Case 8: Implementation must be planned first.

A farmer got up early in the morning and told his wife that he was going to plow the fields. When he reached field 40, he found that the cultivator was out of oil. I was going to refuel immediately, but suddenly I thought that three or four pigs at home had not been fed, so I turned around and went home. When he passed the warehouse, he saw some potatoes beside him. He remembered that potatoes might be sprouting, so he went to the potato field again. Passing through a pile of wood on the way, I remembered that I needed some firewood when I started. Just as I was going to collect firewood, I saw a sick chicken lying on the ground ... running back and forth several times. The farmer didn't refuel, feed the pigs, plow the fields ... obviously, he didn't do anything well in the end.

Comments: Planning is the premise of implementation. Without a good plan, there can be no good execution.

Sixth, the influence of organizational structure on execution.

Case 9: Flat reform of an electrical appliance organization in Taiwan Province Province.

An electrical appliance company in Taiwan Province Province made a flat organizational reform in 1997. The reasons for the company's organizational transformation at that time were as follows: First, the 1996 home appliance industry was affected by the overall economic downturn and market saturation, and the company's operating profit was greatly reduced, and its future market prospects were uncertain; Second, the global industrial trend has turned to the development of the emerging technology electronic information market, which has put pressure on the highly mature home appliance industry. In order to get rid of corporate burdens, enhance corporate image and business performance, the company set up an innovation team, adjusted departments and flattened the organization. The original company's personnel structure * * * has 9 levels, the task assignment is not clear, and many people's work is repetitive. After flattening, more than 20% of managers were reduced, and the original 9 levels were reduced to 3 levels. Under the flat organizational structure, the company was initially divided into business headquarters, electronics division and household appliances division. Under the division, there are fighters. The division has 1 general manager, and there are managers and commissioners under each fighter. This reduces the number of middle supervisors, shortens the decision-making process, and directly reports to the chairman and general manager, thus improving the overall productivity.

Comments: the influence of organizational structure on execution, and optimizing organizational structure is very important to improve execution.

Seven, the influence of the system on the execution.

Case 10: Three monks have no water to drink.

The story that three monks have no water to drink is well known to women and children, but if there are more monks, there is no water to drink. This can not be simply understood as the laziness of several monks, but involves the division of labor and cooperation between monks when transporting water. The same is true in enterprise management. If there is no reasonable division of labor, effective cooperation, strict supervision and rewards and punishments, it will easily lead to the phenomenon of mutual election of committees, leading to low implementation efficiency. Execution is not just a single action, but a systematic problem. In order to effectively implement the executive power, we should not only set realistic goals and form the implementation concept of innovation requirements, but also do a good job of division of labor and cooperation among teams.

Comments: Strengthening execution is a systematic project, starting with the whole organizational design and system design.

The Importance of Execution Story 2 Case 1: Who will hang the bell for the cat?

A group of mice held a meeting to study how to deal with cat attacks. A mouse who is considered clever suggested hanging a bell around the cat's neck. In this way, when the cat walks, the bell will ring, so that the mouse who hears the bell can run away in time. Everyone agrees that this is a good idea. But who will hang the bell for the cat? How to hang it? As soon as these questions were asked, the mice were speechless.

comment

Scientific and reasonable strategic deployment is the premise of implementation! If the strategy is divorced from reality, it is impossible to implement it.

Case 2: Busy Farmers

A farmer got up early in the morning and told his wife that he was going to plow the fields. When he reached field 40, he found that the cultivator was out of oil. I was going to refuel immediately, but suddenly I thought that three or four pigs at home had not been fed, so I turned around and went home. When he passed the warehouse, he saw some potatoes beside him. He remembered that potatoes might be sprouting, so he went to the potato field again. Passing through a pile of wood on the way, I remembered that I needed some firewood when I started. Just as I was going to collect firewood, I saw a sick chicken lying on the ground ... running back and forth several times. The farmer didn't refuel, feed the pigs, plow the fields ... obviously, he didn't do anything well in the end.

comment

Doing a good job in goal setting, planning and budgeting is the basis of implementation. Doing time management well is the guarantee to improve execution efficiency.

Case 3: the confusion of buying copy paper

The boss asked an employee to buy copy paper. The staff went to buy three sheets of paper. The boss shouted, three stacks of paper, how is it enough? I want at least three stacks. The employee went to buy three stacks of copy paper the next day. The boss looked at it and shouted, How did you buy B5? I want A4. A few days later, the employee bought three stacks of A4 copy paper, and the boss scolded: How come it takes a week to buy it? Employee: You didn't say when you wanted it. An employee bought copy paper three times, and the boss got angry three times. The boss will shake his head and sigh, and the execution of employees is too poor! Employees will say in their hearts that the boss is incompetent and can't even figure out a task, which will only make subordinates busy in vain!

comment

Before implementation, the results and consequences must be clearly stated and communication in place.

Case 4: The gap between Arnold and Bruno

Arnold and Bruno are both employed in a shop and get the same salary. But after a while, Arnold rose to the top, while Bruno stood still. Bruno went to complain to the boss. The boss listened to his complaints patiently, and at the same time he was thinking about how to explain the difference between him and Arnold. "Bruno," said the boss, "go to the market and see what's on sale this morning." Bruno came back from the market and reported to the boss that only one farmer pulled a cart of potatoes to the market this morning. "How many?" The boss asked. Bruno quickly ran to the market again, and then came back to tell the boss that one had 40 bags of potatoes. "What's the price?" Bruno went to the market for the third time and asked for the price. "Well," the boss said to him, "now please sit in your chair and don't talk and see what others say."

Arnold came back from the market soon and reported to the boss that up to now, only one farmer is selling potatoes, 40 bags each, what is the price; The quality of potatoes is very good. He brought one back to show his boss. The farmer will deliver several boxes of tomatoes in an hour. According to him, the price is very reasonable. The tomatoes in their shop sold very fast yesterday, and the stock is running out. He thought that the owner would definitely buy some such cheap tomatoes, so he not only brought back a tomato as a sample, but also brought the farmer, who is waiting for an answer outside now.

At this moment, the boss turned to Bruno and said, "Now do you know why Arnold's salary is higher than yours?"

comment

It is not unwise for employees to want to do well at the beginning of implementation, but it is often because of the lack of result thinking and hard work that implementation is important!

Case 5: Monkey feeding.

Scholars at the University of California once did an experiment: six monkeys were kept in three empty houses, two in each room, and a certain amount of food was put in each house, but the positions were different. The food in the first room is on the ground, the food in the second room is hung at different heights from easy to difficult, and the food in the third room is hung on the roof. A few days later, they found that the monkey in the first room was dead and injured, and two monkeys in the third room were dead, only two monkeys in the second room were alive and well.

It turned out that the monkey of the first family saw the food on the ground as soon as he entered the room, and fought for the easy-to-get food, resulting in one death and one injury. Although the monkey in the third room tried hard, he starved to death because the food was too high to reach. Only the two monkeys in the second room first fed according to their own abilities, and finally with the increase of the height of the hanging food, one monkey lifted the other monkey to feed. In this way, you can still get enough food every day

comment

The employment mechanism ensures implementation, and only good people can do good things. If the difficulty of the post is too low to reflect people's ability and the resource allocation is unreasonable, it will lead to internal friction and even killing, just like the two monkeys in the first house; The post is too difficult and the cake drawing is too empty. Although you try hard, you still can't reach it. Finally, talents are buried and obliterated, just like two monkeys in the third room. Only when the difficulty of the post is appropriate and the stage assessment mechanism is established, just like the meals in the second room, can we really improve.

Case 6: Death of Donkey

A plague raged in the animal kingdom, and the lion, the king of beasts, called an emergency meeting for it: "Our kingdom is suffering misfortune, which is God's punishment for us. We must find animals that anger God. " The lion appointed the fox as a judge. For example, the lion said first, "I made a mistake." I saw an injured zebra two days ago and caught it to eat. " The fox immediately said, "By doing this, the king just freed the zebra from its pain, so it was not a violation of the precepts at all." The representative of the wolf pack went on to say, "We also made mistakes. Last week, an elk broke into our territory. We caught it and ate it together. " The fox added: "It is the duty of every animal to protect the territory, which is not wrong." In this way, the carnivores were all acquitted by the fox.

It's herbivores' turn. The donkey thought for a long time and didn't find his mistake: "I have been guarding my position ..." The fox interrupted him: "Didn't you steal grass from other people's fields?" The donkey honestly said, "No."However, when he saw the green shoots on the tree a few days ago, he couldn't help taking a few bites. "The fox immediately said," that's right. You eat grass. Eating tree buds is robbing others of their food, which is a serious violation of God's arrangement. "Before he spoke, the lion jumped on the donkey, killed it and made a sacrifice to God. After the ceremony, the donkey became the lion's food.

comment

The formulation of the system will play an important role in the implementation, and the institutional arrangement must be reasonable and legal, which is recognized by most people.

Case 7: barrel effect

A bucket full of water, as long as a piece of wood is removed, there is no water in the bucket; If the top of the bucket is uneven, then the water can only be in the lowest part of the top. Judging from this effect, the same is true for enterprises. Today's enterprises can't rely on one person, one resource and one advertisement for "long-term stability", but every employee of this enterprise should be "refined". Because people are substitutes, if everyone's ability and quality are quite strong, then its overall substitution is very small, and core human capital will gain a relative quantitative advantage! Therefore, some highly competitive or high-tech enterprises must take human resources as the top priority, make overall plans, shape "expert" groups or organizations, and turn human strength into a winning situation.

comment

The result of execution depends on the employees with the worst execution ability, so it is necessary to continuously improve the quality of employees.

Case 8: The Rise of Haier

"Haier" is an enterprise group that has developed from a small factory on the verge of bankruptcy to a dominant market at home and abroad. Why is Haier so powerful and famous today? Why did Haier do so well? In fact, they also started from every little thing and developed from a humble small company. In Haier company, you will see such a sign: "The day has passed, the day has cleared, and the day has been high." Everyone at Haier will aim at this. After Zhang Ruimin smashed 76 refrigerators, everyone's heart was engraved with deep and indelible scars. "It" always reminds them to have a strong sense of responsibility and do every little thing and detail well. Haier finally won the first gold medal in China market.

comment

At the end of the day, the day is clear, and the execution should start from the daily work.

Case 9: Boiled frog

If you throw a frog into boiling water, it will jump out at once. But if you put a frog in cold water and heat it gradually, it will unconsciously lose its jumping ability until it dies.

"Frog principle" can explain some problems in the management of enterprise operators. In the early days of starting a business, entrepreneurs are full of passion and high sensitivity, so they are often in a state of excitement. After the successful start-up of the enterprise, the management of the enterprise tends to be dull, and some small problems within the enterprise begin to be ignored. These neglected details, accumulated over time, will make enterprises gradually lose the ability to solve problems, just like a frog, and die unconsciously.
