The workshop supervisor is hiring staff
Thread Content
As a workshop supervisor, how should one make use of talent? I have worked under two workshop managers: the first stayed in my workshop for half a year before being transferred to an oil refinery under construction in Sichuan. Before leaving, he promoted several team leaders on a last-minute basis; one of them was an operator from his previous workshop (whose original job role was quite different from the one he now holds). After he left, there was a lot of discussion in the workshop – the new supervisor promoted one of his own allies to team leader, without considering that person’s technical skills (the previous team leader had been transferred). Please comment on the character of these two managers This post was last edited by cswenhan on 2009-4-16 20:13]
These days it’s the same everywhere; the principle for promoting people is to consider relationships first, and abilities second. Once the original poster became a leader, it was inevitable. ;P ;P ;P
Hehe, this illustrates the principle of learning to be a good person first before learning how to do things. This should motivate you to behave well and learn to get along with everyone
This is the current situation in China; it probably isn’t like this abroad. This is a cultural difference, and one must learn to adapt
Is it possible to get by in society just by learning to flatter others and avoiding doing actual work? Is this really the reality of China? This post was last edited by cswenhan on 2009-4-16 20:15]
When I was a worker, I didn’t like it; once I became a leader, my thoughts changed. . .
Strong execution relies on capable confidants to maintain it – that’s the right approach； Another solution is......
All companies are like this; our situation is even worse than what you described. But one has to know how to navigate through a company – even though they may not do things well, you can’t offend them either. We simply can’t compete with them
Well, it’s like this – it’s the result of a thousand years of cultural influence from the Chinese people
One must learn to adapt to the environment, but not all leaders are like that； Gold will always shine; those who truly possess skills and knowledge will eventually be given the opportunity to use them.
