An incompetent boss – from 50,000 to 50 million in 5 years

Thread Content

Incompetent bosses are made this way. Back then, Mr. Yang was my boss. Speaking of this person, it took him 5 years to grow his assets from 50,000 to at least 50 million in net worth. He himself said—\"I’m nothing; I have no skills at all. I rely on everyone else!\\" I used to think the same way too: he has no technical expertise, no sales skills, and no management abilities either! ! Why did he become my boss? The person in charge of technology is a friend who graduated from the Department of Chemistry at Wuhan University in 1983; the one responsible for workshop production is an experienced engineer who graduated from Wuhan Institute of Chemical Technology in 1986. The person in charge of market sales is a shrewd and experienced professional. As for those in charge of enterprise management, it’s my kind-hearted mentor, the manager of one of the city’s top ten star enterprises. What has Boss Yang done? He invested 50,000 yuan; that was in the year 2000. But he was indeed my boss; at that time I was in charge of research and development, quality control, and testing in his company. He paid me a salary every month, while he himself took the profits without doing anything – over 5 years, that amount increased from 50,000 to 50 million. In fact, he is Liu Bang. It’s fine to be a rogue boy after all; there were Xiao He in matters of literature, Han Xin in matters of warfare, and there were also outstanding figures such as Zhang Liang, Fan Kuai, and Ying Bu. Being able to make the most of people is the greatest skill of a boss! ! I understood later on. He isn’t lacking in ability; among the 150 people in the company, he has the greatest skills!

Those who know how to use people are the greatest talents

Smart people are those who know how to make use of others to achieve their goals

Hehe, don’t just focus on the boss’s glamorous side; when faced with decision-making issues, he has to make choices after all. Often, one wrong decision can cause the company to take a wrong direction. By then you can just walk away, but what about him? Furthermore, for some things, it’s not about whether a person takes action or not; what’s more important is whether they think and determine a direction. If the direction is wrong, it’s all in vain, even if there are talents like Xiao He in literature and Han Xin in military affairs! Of course, knowing how to hire people is the boss’s skill; figuring out how to retain true talent is a question the boss needs to consider even more.

Well, only people like that can be bosses; we self-important folks are all working for others

A boss who knows how to use people is a true boss; employing others is a highly sophisticated skill indeed~~~ As the saying goes: \"A fence needs three stakes, and a great man needs three helpers\"~~~:lol

Yes, to make money one must know how to employ people, and his ability to recognize talent is what sets him apart.

If he can become a boss, then he must have his outstanding qualities

Such people are the true bosses. A company needs talents in various fields, but at its core it requires an organized person – and that is the boss. With a boss like you, it’s impossible not to give it

Managers are managers; those who do the work are those who do the work. No matter how skilled or proficient you are, you will always remain someone who does the work – that’s a social fact.

Having an excessively high IQ is not a good thing

The more you know, the more you can do. Those who don’t understand become your bosses

No matter how skilled a worker is, they’re still just a worker; the boss is the one in charge. :D

A shrewd boss makes good use of management and technical staff, bringing out the best in them to serve his own purposes.

If you know a lot, you should teach the other members of the team; there are things that don’t need to be done by you personally. In a modern chemical plant, no one, no matter how skilled, can manage everything on their own. Those who really know nothing will eventually be eliminated. Last edited by ego111 on 2009-4-12 17:57.]

Being able to utilize people and having talent are two different concepts; only those who know how to utilize people can make the most of talented individuals

The size of your heart determines the size of your stage. As long as you make an effort, whether you succeed or not, you will gain something. The joy of success, the lessons from failure, ~~

For a more progressive boss, it is important to have management skills, organizational skills, coordination skills, and the ability to select and appoint talent! ~

Different people have different paths to success, but one must understand the principle of being a good person first and then focusing on tasks! ~:lol
