Lin Huayin's sudden change caught Xiao Zheng off guard. He stared blankly for a moment before he sat cross-legged on the bed and smiled at Lin Huayin. "Why do you ask?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Huayin asked back.
Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment before he helplessly said, "Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case."
Shen Han had covered up for her subordinates due to their relationship and was somewhat perfunctory in carrying out his orders. But this time, he also exonerated Shen Han, clearly covering up for his subordinates in front of Lin Huayin. There seemed to be no difference between the two.
"If it's inconvenient for you to act," said Lin Huayin with a cold gaze. "I'll help you."
Xiao Zheng's expression slightly changed as he shook his head and said, "Don't be impulsive. She was just careless for a moment, and her working ability is still very strong. I believe they'll be able to get back on track soon after they catch their breath. "
Lin Huayin seemed to be dissatisfied with Xiao Zheng's answer. She slightly frowned and said with a stern expression, "Do you know what your biggest problem is?"
"Being a hands-off boss?" probed Xiao Zheng.
"As long as you know how to use people well, you can easily manage the entire company even if you lie in bed and sleep every day." Lin Huayin lightly shook her head. "That's not your biggest problem."
"Then what is it?" asked Xiao Zheng curiously.
"Being too close to my subordinates," said Lin Huayin lightly.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Xiao Zheng explained. "I treat them as my family, and they also treat me as their family. Won't we be more united in our work? "
Lin Huayin's eyes flickered and she asked back, "Then, do you know why the frequency of quarrels and conflicts between family members is much higher than that between friends?"
Xiao Zheng instantly felt relieved after hearing it.
The relationship between family members was cultivated since childhood and was extremely strong. But it was also because they were too close that they repeatedly quarreled. They always thought that the other party could tolerate them to an unlimited extent. On the contrary, the so-called friendship was based on management and seeking common ground while reserving differences. He was not born with it.
A bitter smile flashed across Xiao Zheng's lips. "What are you trying to say?"
"You treat them as your family, and they also treat you as their family. And once they have this kind of thinking, the biggest conflict between the superiors and subordinates will occur. "Lin Huayin said word by word. "Outwardly agreeing, but inwardly opposing!"
Because he is close enough to you, because he thinks that he will not be punished by you, in front of this group of subordinates, Xiao Zheng's prestige will be completely lost. All that was left was respect, not awe.
In Lin Huayin's management philosophy, superiors and subordinates could get along well, but they must keep their distance and make their subordinates respect them. Otherwise, the relationship between them would only be that of friends, and not that of a superior and subordinate.
This was extremely dangerous for a leader. He would never be able to achieve great things!
In the Lin Group, in the Lu Group, and even in Xin Ao, Lin Chaotian, Lu Dashan, and Lin Huayin were all authority that could not be challenged. They were all big bosses that had to be strictly carried out.
Who dared to disobey?
This was the centripetal force, the basic guarantee that orders from the superiors would be carried out!
Listening to Lin Huayin's strict advice, Xiao Zheng did not feel uncomfortable at all. In terms of his own profession, Lin Huayin would listen very humbly. On the other hand, how could he pursue the so-called male chauvinism and scoff at Lin Huayin's advice?
This was not male chauvinism, but stupidity.
"I will try my best to correct it." Xiao Zheng took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Hearing this, Lin Huayin did not comfort him in return. Instead, she continued, "The second problem is that you give up power too quickly and too single-mindedly."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng asked curiously, "Tang Ming also mentioned this to me. But for now, no one in the overseas department is more capable than Shen Han. "
"Are you telling me that even you are inferior to her?" Lin Huayin asked calmly.
"Of course not —" Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying confidently. "Compared to me, Shen Han is more attentive, but she is not as good at seeing the big picture as I am."
"Since you are more capable than her. What does it matter if you choose another subordinate with potential to train? "Lin Huayin asked.
The overseas department under Xiao Zheng's control was no less than the entire Xin Ao before the Phantom series was born. Or even stronger. Therefore, for a department head like Xiao Zheng, he had to manage it carefully and carefully.
Xiao Zheng asked, "You mean, you want me to set up restrictions in the overseas department? To support a capable subordinate to restrict Shen Han? "
Lin Huayin nodded faintly. "The lowest level of controlling people is to restrict them, and the highest level is still to restrict them. Therefore, whether it is a small company with a few dozen people, or a large financial group, or even a country, restricting them is the core method. "
After a pause, Lin Huayin continued, "You have trained Shen Han, but no one can restrict her. Do you know what the biggest threat will be in the end? "
"What?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes, vaguely understanding what Lin Huayin was referring to.
"When she only has you blocking her way, what do you think her next life goal will be?" Lin Huayin said word by word. "To replace you."
"This is nurturing a tiger that will invite disaster," Lin Huayin said resolutely.
"Does Shen Han have the guts to do that?" Xiao Zheng said half-jokingly, half-seriously. "Not to mention that Tang Ming will persuade her. But if she really wants to fight with me, I can make her lose everything in a day. "
"You fatten her up just to prove your strength?" Lin Huayin didn't appreciate Xiao Zheng's domineering and strength. "What can best reflect a superior's ability isn't how they defeat their subordinates. It's that no subordinate dares to offend their superior, or have the ability to do so. I'll be an example to you. "
Seeing that Lin Huayin didn't hesitate to use him as an example, Xiao Zheng knew that Lin Huayin wasn't joking with him, but was seriously discussing this issue. He pursed his lips and said, "Geng Sang rebelled against you not because she wasn't afraid of you, but because she was too afraid of you. Furthermore, there was a gap in their ideals, and with outsiders adding fuel to the fire, this problem occurred. "
Lin Huayin didn't accept Xiao Zheng's excuse and said word by word, "There are similar stories happening in the business world every day. In the future, this kind of thing will continue to happen to you and me. Perhaps the next danger will be bigger and more terrifying than Geng Sang's. "
"I agree with this point." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"I'm not worried that you can't control a mere offshore department. I'm also not worried that Shen Han can pose any threat to you. I even believe that with the relationship between you and her husband, Shen Han will never rebel against you. But what about the future? Do you plan to be a department head for the rest of your life? Do you think that the most powerful subordinate you have in your life is just Shen Han? "
Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to speak, Lin Huayin said with an expressionless face, "Transfer Ouyang back to Beijing. Also, coordinate with Shen Han to deal with this crisis. Share her work in the offshore department. "
Wasn't this a clear cut of authority? Just when Xiao Zheng was about to argue, he heard Lin Huayin continued, "Promote Shen Han to Vice-President and Chief Strategist of the Entertainment Department. She has a background in marketing, so she'll be helpful in the construction and promotion of the Entertainment Department."
