The secret of Stanley Ho's success: secret 1, belief

Without firm trust, it is impossible to become a great entrepreneur, because without smooth sailing, it is impossible to achieve the goal or end of victory. Because on the way to success, you may encounter some problems or obstacles. At this time, without firm belief, it is difficult to overcome difficulties and forge ahead.

Secret 2, learning ability

First of all, to be a successful leader, you must love learning and be good at it. Scientist Hua said: "In the long river of seeking truth, only by studying, constantly studying, diligently studying and creatively studying can we cross the mountains"; The great leader Mao Zedong taught us: "Reading is learning, using is also learning, and more importantly, learning"; The above two famous words &; For leaders, mdash& ampmdash fully illustrates the necessity and importance of reading, learning and applying what they have learned.

The wife of former US President Roosevelt once said: "We must let our young people form the habit of reading good books. This habit is a treasure, worth holding in both hands, watching it and not throwing it away. " Another economist once said: "It is a sin not to read, and reading is saving. Learn by economic means to create economy and benefits through learning. " As a leader, we should learn from theory, practice and mutual communication, not only pay attention to learning methods, but also have a correct learning attitude.

Learning ability refers to learning motivation, learning perseverance and learning ability. Managers who already have learning ability have a problem of how to turn learning ability into competitiveness. If all the members of an enterprise can devote themselves wholeheartedly and gain continuous growth in their learning ability, the enterprise is a learning organization. For today's enterprise competition, everyone will say that it is the competition of talents and resources. However, the theory of learning organization tells us that enterprises compete for talents with learning ability. The reason is very simple, and the learning ability is relatively strong. After a few years, not talents will become talents, but talents will become senior talents. Choosing learning is choosing progress. Without learning ability, there is no competitiveness. Improving learning ability means enhancing competitiveness, creativity and leadership. For us today, learning has become a demand that cannot be ignored. The change of the whole world driven by the growth of knowledge economy is the rapid update of knowledge and the acceleration of the whole human pace. In such a society, we are exhausted, but we always find ourselves unable to adapt to the high-speed operation of this society at a certain moment. Time is flowing, we are getting older day by day, but the world is updating day by day, and the gap between us and the world is widening unconsciously. Therefore, we know that our life needs the filling of knowledge and the perfection and accumulation of knowledge. Therefore, learning has become a necessity for people in the workplace &; Mdash& ampmdash It can even be said that the competition of learning ability has become the decisive factor of enterprise competition and individual workplace competition.

Isn't there a lyric in Jackie Chan's song &; Mdash& ampmdash is very touching, "Let Haitian gather energy for me". There is a kind of martial arts in Jin Yong's novels, which is also suitable for business leaders. In Tan Xiaofang's view, we should be good at learning, learn from books, learn from practice, learn from successful people, learn from self-creation, keep learning and accumulate energy for ourselves.

Borrow and "improve" an old saying &; Mdash& ampmdash "Learn every day, and the enterprise will make progress"! In fact, there is no leader at all times and in all countries who does not regard learning as a management tool. Only by learning to educate subordinates and subjects and make them progress can we meet our management needs and create our own interests. It is the spirit of continuous learning and creation that makes our society so progressive and developing. When someone put forward the concept of "learning organization", almost all business leaders praised it, which shows that "learning organization" meets the interests of leaders.

Secret three, great wisdom

Secondly, to be a successful leader, you must have great wisdom. The economic development in the west is much more developed than that in China. From a certain point of view, our market environment today is the western market environment yesterday. So we are all learning western management and marketing methods and experiences. However, it is interesting that at this time, many western enterprises, management scholars and business schools are studying and learning the wisdom essence left by China for thousands of years, and drawing nutrition from it, applying it to their management and marketing activities today, and achieving good results. For example, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Tao Te Ching and Zuo Zhuan. Among them, Sun Tzu's Art of War has a high guiding and reference significance for market competition strategy and tactics, but you may not know that Sun Tzu's Art of War also plays a certain role in stimulating the wisdom of leaders.

Seeking leadership wisdom from China tradition is often a two-way street. Mdash& ampmdash or extremely tall, such as keeping a name for the country and the people, or extremely practical, even at all costs. Like many aspects, we haven't mastered the skills of scientific packaging in management wisdom as in the west. Recently, in the president class of Peking University, a private entrepreneur asked me: What is leadership wisdom? I think this question is very interesting. Leadership wisdom can give many static definitions, but none of them seem accurate. At that time, I gave a dynamic definition: our leadership style varies from time to time, from environment to environment and from person to person. Under normal circumstances, orderly, follow the system, step by step, prudent and steady is the embodiment of the wisdom of excellent leaders, but in extraordinary times, it needs the great wisdom of leaders.

In a sense, the company will face new situations and new challenges every day, and extraordinary times have become a normal state of the company. Extraordinary times are pregnant with new opportunities and energy, and need the determination and wisdom of leaders. In the original course of "Leadership Wisdom" by Professor Tan Xiaofang, a famous leadership training expert, the following energy will be provided for extraordinary leaders: attacking requires "great courage" and transferring requires "great wisdom"; From fast company to "tough" company; From bigger and stronger to deeper and thicker; Strategic model: how to move from the Red Sea to the Blue Ocean; Operation mode: How to change from "management" to "intensive management"?

Back to Sun Tzu's Art of War&; In the famous "Five Virtues", Sun Tzu talked about five kinds of wisdom that will be needed in the future. "The commander is wise, trustworthy, kind, brave and strict." Wang Zhe pointed out: "A wise man has foresight without being confused, can make plans and change the situation; Brave, not afraid of righteousness, can be resolute; Strict people will be serious and authoritative. Five must be closed. " For modern leaders, it is not enough to have the five virtues of a strategist, but also to add "knowledge" to become Liu De. In the rapidly changing era of knowledge economy, we need to have six talents &; Only such excellent generals can win this war that determines the life and death of the country and people.

Secret 4, charm

Third, to be a successful leader, you must have charm. The ancients said: those who convince others with strength are not persuaded, and they do not expect it; He who is convinced by virtue is completely convinced. In modern society, some people of insight even suggest that great institutions are not managed, but led, which is the result of the hard work of those who are eager to pursue success under the impetus of rising sense of accomplishment. The "traction" role of a charismatic leader in the group can be seen from this. Leadership charm is the ability of leaders to influence and change the psychological behavior of others in their communication with others. The strength of leadership charm is directly related to its leadership level and ruling level. Teacher Tan will help you learn to surpass yesterday with today, surpass the present with the future, see through the secrets of successful people and help you create magical leadership charm!

The personality charm of leaders is different from that of ordinary people, which is caused by both division of labor and personal quality. It is not comprehensive to emphasize the personal quality of leaders and deny the influence of work power. The essence of leadership and guidance is a kind of influence, that is, leaders influence the behavior of followers through their influence to achieve organizational goals. For a team leader, if he wants to achieve good results, he needs to do more demonstration and benchmarking things after setting feasible goals. Through its own charm factors to influence and drive the masses, charm is a "very attractive force."

The charismatic image of enterprise leaders embodies the charismatic temperament, demeanor, character and knowledge of leaders, relying on the formidable influence of personality charm, not the formidable influence of power. The charm and image of enterprise leaders are directly related to the survival and development of enterprises. Enterprise leaders should proceed from the requirements of the times, pay special attention to establishing the entrepreneurial spirit and personality charm of leaders, become the mainstay in the market competition of big waves and sand, and overcome challenges!

Secret 5, can choose and employ persons

We say that to be a successful leader, we must be able to choose people. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out that there are two main responsibilities of leaders: one is to give ideas; The second is to use cadres. The use of cadres refers to the selection and use of talents. There is also a saying abroad that seven-tenths of a leader's work is to consider selecting and appointing people. It can be seen how important it is for leaders to choose and employ people. As an excellent manager in the market, the object of management is people, and all tasks should be completed by people. Therefore, the key to successful management lies in selecting and employing people.

There is also a saying abroad that seven-tenths of a leader's work is to consider selecting and appointing people. It can be seen how important it is for leaders to choose and employ people. As an excellent manager in the market, the object of management is people, and all tasks should be completed by people. Therefore, the key to successful management lies in selecting and employing people. Therefore, the way to choose leaders is broad and profound, and it is a skill for all those who want to stay in leadership positions for a long time, and for all those who are determined to unite people and make a difference. The beauty of operation lies in one heart. As a leader, dealing with all kinds of people, we should be good at figuring out human nature, grasping people's hearts, correctly knowing people, selecting people and employing people, and laying a solid human foundation for our great achievements.

First of all, be good at employing people. The way of employing people is to learn from each other's strengths and maximize their complementary advantages. If Chen Jingrun had not been discovered by Hua and transferred to the Institute of Mathematics, it would be difficult for him to take off the jewel in the crown of mathematics. The Tang Priest's success in learning Buddhist scriptures in the West is mainly due to his good knowledge of people and his arrangement of the Monkey King, Friar Sand and Pig in the most suitable positions for them. To achieve the best combination of talents' strengths and positions, we should pay attention to "timing" and "employing people when they are strong" Defining the best use period of all kinds of talents should not be based solely on age, but on quality. For those who are sure, they must be used boldly and promptly.

Secondly, it should be noted that "moderate" leaders cannot whip fast cattle, and Shaanxi cattle can only be used at critical times and critical moments. If you only care about using them easily and safely, and leave those who have a strong sense of responsibility and the ability to work overtime in the "fast lane" for a long time, these "fast cows" will definitely become "slow cows" or "dead cows". A middle school student who is good at employing people once told Bill Gates. Einstein received an invitation from the President of Israel before his death, but he politely declined this coveted position and still loved his scientific research. It is because of his wise love that the great scientist Einstein was born. In the process of employing people, leaders should know what people love, what people love and what adults love.

Secret 6, character

As a successful leader, you should have good character. The New York Times found in a poll that only 15% of the public have confidence in large enterprises, while 67% people think that most enterprise executives lack integrity. The data also shows that the frequency of changing leaders in enterprises is getting faster and faster. It is not difficult to see that "leaders" are becoming "endangered species", and it is difficult for the public not to worry about the integrity of the organization.

Drucker, a famous management master, once said: "If a leader lacks integrity, no matter how knowledgeable, talented and accomplished he is, he will also cause great losses." : mdash& ampmdash because he destroyed the most precious resource in the enterprise &; Mdash& ampmdash People destroy the spirit of the organization and the fruits of their work. "As the saying goes,' be a man first' and' be a man first and then do things' all tell the same truth. As a leader, character is important.

Drucker believes that honest character is the only absolute condition that leaders should have, but not everyone can learn it. As an inherent quality and accomplishment, personality must be improved through personal introversion, constant self-examination and feedback improvement. However, this does not prevent leaders from setting an example and avoiding mistakes in management practice to shape integrity.

No matter what kind of leader, personality is very important. In a sense, leadership is character. Leadership must be supported by three elements: ambition, ability and integrity. If the three elements are out of balance and there is a terrible combination of ambition and ability, individual power will be higher than the organizational vision, and individual interests will be placed before the overall interests &; Mdash& ampmdash; Selfish leadership. And if there is no combination of ability, integrity and ambition, it will create a kind leader who has no ability to achieve. The combination of honesty and ability can promote good deeds, but it will not open up a new world. Only by balancing the three can a leader be loyal to a moral ambition and realize it for others.

Huang Guangyu once said, "I demand speed. I won't spend three months planning, change the punctuation of the plan book clearly, and then do it. " I will carry it out, do it and correct it. Once the direction is clear, I score three points, and I dare to do it. "However, judging from Huang Guangyu's imprisonment or the Gome dispute some time ago, the management team going abroad to the United States has a serious lack and crisis in leadership construction to some extent. Obviously, Huang Guangyu belongs to the combination of ambition and ability, and the crisis of trust caused by personal interests before overall interests has led to today's results.

Comrade Jiang Zemin earnestly warned us that we should be practical in being an official and "be a man first" in doing things. Character cultivation is the foundation of making a career for officials, especially in the situation of establishing and perfecting socialist market economy, it is of special significance to strengthen character cultivation. Leaders with good character are broad-minded. They are very concerned about their subordinates, customers, comrades and society. In this way, they will get the support of subordinates, the love of customers, the trust of comrades and the respect of society &; Mdash& ampmdash It is conceivable that the enterprise composed of such people must be extremely powerful, invincible and have a long-lasting foundation!

Secret 7, decision-making level

Another element of a successful leader is a high level of decision-making. In recent years, "decision-making" has become the daily language of business people, and many executives, especially senior leaders, often pretend to be "decision makers". Collins, one of the most influential management masters in the world, called them "suitable people", Welch called them "stars" and the late Drucker called them "strategists". These management experts talked about the people who really decide the rise and fall of enterprises. As a leader, in his comprehensive quality, there are three core competencies, namely, decision-making, employing people and specialty. And the emphasis of these three aspects is different: for leaders, the most important thing is decision-making, accounting for 47%; Followed by employing people, accounting for 35%, and majors only account for 18%.

In the cruel market competition environment, many enterprises are in danger and go downhill because they have no decision-making leadership. The problem is that even if you occupy the position of a leader, you may not be a veritable leader, because the greatness of a leader lies in making correct decisions at critical moments. Decision making is very important. Decision-making is the key link of leadership work, and decision-making ability embodies the basic skills of leaders, which requires each of us to continuously improve our decision-making ability in practice.

The market is like a battlefield without smoke, and the competition between the same industry has developed to a white-hot level. Whoever is good at planning and foresight in business management decision-making may be one step ahead in the market, seize the commanding heights, and keep the outcome of never falling behind the market. On the contrary, if you are short-sighted, short-sighted and lack long-term thinking and foresight, the result can only be to be a "follower" forever and to be a "follower" behind others forever.

It is not enough to understand the decision-making process, but also to apply the gained experience continuously and firmly in order to really benefit. If you can apply it continuously, every decision you make in the future will be a successful one. But "Man proposes, God disposes", sometimes it is difficult to make a decision. Mdash& ampmdash; You can't fully grasp many things. No matter how carefully you think and how many weeks you plan, there is always a link that you can't understand, and there are always accidents waiting for you, but scientific and meticulous thinking will make you get twice the result with half the effort and succeed immediately!

Teacher Tan Xiaofang said that Stanley Ho's success was not accidental. Successful leaders need to constantly understand the way of management, think about how to cultivate themselves and how to control all kinds of complicated situations. This is a painful and long process, and it is also a brilliant process of challenging and surpassing ourselves. As a leader, if you want to maximize the effectiveness of your work, you must set high targets for results and relationships. If leaders take care of employees, and then employees take care of customers, then profits and financial performance will certainly follow. This is a proven rule, and success will be reflected in the results and relationships.
