Forklift manufacturer: Don't pay much attention to quantification in management

Forklift manufacturer remembers that Wolf Lynch's "Reverse Management" said: "If you spend most of your time focusing on corporate profits, it is like watching the rearview mirror to drive, these figures can hardly provide any information about how far your" car "is from the destination, or what obstacles are on the road." When commenting on Chinese management, foreigners said: "Sometimes in China, management is very good if you add a little salt. Only the operator knows how much 'a little' is!" The electric stacker truck manufacturer believes that the difference between excellent chefs and ordinary chefs is also reflected in the subtle grasp of temperature and salt.

Forklift manufacturer believes that "anything that can be measured can be done." In daily management, most enterprise managers tend to start from this management idea, and break down all the goals of the enterprise into small goals to each basic unit. They believe that as long as each basic unit has completed its own tasks, the overall goal of the enterprise will be realized naturally. In fact, the electric stacker truck manufacturer told us that a large part of a company's development goals simply cannot be predicted and evaluated by using indicators (such as industry recognition, standard setting ability, core product competitiveness, etc.).

Forklift manufacturer believes that because these indicators are relatively abstract and difficult to measure directly, the planning department can only select quantifiable indicators such as sales to evaluate the company's development, and can only decompose quantifiable indicators when indicators are decomposed. The company's progress on these surface indicators is likely to lead the company into a situation of overstaffing or financial exhaustion. In fact, the real purpose of quantitative management is to guide the behavior direction of all employees of the company, make their work goals consistent with the organizational goals of the company, and effectively achieve the company's goals by integrating employee resources. The electric stacker truck manufacturer believes that it is the real and only principle to design or select indicators by using measurement indicators to support the realization of objectives.

Forklift manufacturer believes that if a leader is completely involved in evaluating the work of his subordinates only by numbers, the enterprise will become a simple mechanical movement, which is not only lifeless, but also the organization's behavior will be distorted, and subordinates will have short-term behavior of seeking quick success and instant benefit, fighting for numbers, and even creating numbers for numbers. If all departments of an organization are involved in such activities, it will be terrible, which will play a destructive role in the long-term development and stability of the organization. The electric stacker truck manufacturer told us that the consequence of overemphasizing quantitative indicators is that impetuosity prevails and the behavior of eager for quick success and instant benefit is becoming increasingly prominent. This is the reason why many enterprises frequently engage in short-sighted behaviors regardless of the consequences due to business contracting.
