What are the similarities and differences between Duke Qi Huan and Duke Wen of Jin?
From the Spring and Autumn Overlord to the Enterprise Giant: Talent is the eternal king
In 2023, the global economic landscape is changing, technological innovation is changing with each passing day, and competition between enterprises is becoming more and more intense. In this battlefield without gunpowder, whoever can recruit the world's talents will win the future. This can't help but remind people of the road of hegemony between Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago. One of them "respected the king" and the other "retreated", and finally achieved a hegemony. Behind this, the competition of talent strategy is the key to their victory.
History is always strikingly similar. In today's era, the competition between enterprises is not a war without gunpowder? Market share, technological innovation, brand reputation, every battlefield is full of challenges. The key factor that determines victory or defeat is still talent.
How can we build an "invincible" talent team? The story of Duke Qi Huan and Duke Wen of Jin may give us some inspiration.
It is necessary to be like Qi Huan Gong reusing Guan Zhong, and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. Guan Zhong was born in a slight cold background and was once an enemy of Duke Qi Huan, but Duke Qi Huan ignored his previous suspicions, discerned pearls, and finally achieved the hegemony of "Jiuhe Princes, One Kuang World". Just imagine, if Duke Qi Huan had been deceived by secular prejudice and let go of a capable minister like Guan Zhong, how could Qi become strong?
Today, companies also need to think outside the box and select talent in an eclectic way. Education, background, and past experience are important, but what is more important is ability and potential. An enterprise that dares to break the routine and innovate can attract real talents.
It is necessary to be like Jin Wengong's trust and heavy ears, and be good at cultivating and motivating talents. Chong'er was in exile for 19 years, went through hardships, and finally became a generation of Ming monarchs with the trust and support of Duke Wen of Jin. Imagine, if Duke Wen of Jin had a grudge against Chong'er and let him wander outside, how could the Jin Kingdom usher in Zhongxing?
Enterprises also need to establish a sound talent training mechanism to provide employees with opportunities for growth and development. It is necessary to establish a fair and reasonable incentive mechanism to stimulate the potential and creativity of employees. Only when employees feel the respect and trust of the enterprise can they truly contribute to the enterprise.
It is not enough to rely on the insight of "Bole", but also to establish a complete talent mechanism to provide fertile soil for the growth and play of talents. As said in "Han Feizi": "The way of the master, let people do things, not let people do things."
In July 2023, Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei published an article titled "Talented People from All Generations" on the company's internal forum, emphasizing the importance of talent to the development of enterprises. He pointed out: "If we want to create the soil for the growth of talents, we must dare to delegate power, let young people go to the front, and train and grow in actual combat." These words coincide with the governing concepts of Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin more than 2,000 years ago.
Coincidentally, after Musk took over Twitter, he also carried out a series of drastic reforms, the most important of which is to reshape the corporate culture and create a more open, inclusive, and innovative work environment to attract and retain top talent.
In reality, many enterprises still have the phenomenon of "cronyism" and "seniority", which leads to the burial of outstanding talents and the stifling of innovation vitality. How can such an enterprise be invincible in the fierce market competition?
The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the times are constantly changing, but talents have always been the core force to promote social progress and enterprise development. From the Spring and Autumn overlord to the corporate giant, those leaders who can perceive the trend of the times and grasp the law of talent have won in the end.
In this era full of opportunities and challenges, are you ready?
