A few days ago, Weichai Group held a special meeting on the style of rectification of functional management departments. Tan Xuguang, chairman of Weichai Group, made a "Shoot at the functional management department! ” speech, directly stating the problems and disadvantages of the functional management department.

In Tan Xuguang's view, the management department should be an important starting point to stimulate the vitality, competitiveness and productivity of the enterprise, but some management functions of the enterprise are lacking. To the effect, it may also be a hindrance.

Tan Xuguang summarized the problems in management into two major directions. At the management style level, bureaucratic habits, fear of difficulties, management inertia, and complacent phenomena are prominent, which are "soft" problems; at the specific business level, there are unreasonable system processes, unfair and transparent management, inadequate task execution, and ineffective use of digital resources phenomenon, this is the "hard" problem.

Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that the problems mentioned by Tan Xuguang are not unique to Weichai, and many state-owned enterprises have similar chronic diseases to some extent. During the more than 40 years of reform and opening up, countless state-owned enterprises are heading for self-destruction in constant internal friction because they cannot break through the shackles of management. Yin Jian is not far away, in fact, many people have pointed out about the so-called "state-owned enterprise disease", but it may be easy to be a "smart" bystander. To drag it out of the quagmire, it is impossible for someone with great wisdom and courage to do it.

Who dares to do this without protecting shorts, not being arrogant, and daring to open fire with oneself, directly poking at the management pain points of state-owned enterprises? I believe that many entrepreneurs dare not, but Tan Xuguang dares!

Those who are familiar with Tan Xuguang should know that this Weichai helm has always behaved like this, and exposing the shortcomings is only a means. The key is that he can come up with solutions after exposing them. In response to the stubborn diseases in Weichai's management work, Tan Xuguang's prescription is "four positions". It includes: precise management and control, which not only grasps the main contradiction, but also covers the secondary contradiction, achieves fairness and transparency, and wins people's hearts; business empowerment, the management department must understand the business, realize the deep integration of management and business, and actively provide a methodology for business value-added ; To activate the organization, it is necessary to study the methods to maximize the innovation and entrepreneurial vitality of all employees, and activate all corporate cells; to serve the front line, take the initiative to go deep into the front line, gain insight into real demands, solve practical problems, and let the front line feel the value of management.

Never shy away from treating diseases and dare to make self-revolution, this is the cultural gene and management ecology that Weichai has developed over the years. From initially smashing the "iron rice bowl", breaking the "big pot of rice", to "breaking through the neck and mastering the core technology independently", then to "occupying the commanding heights of the industry", "carrying a guillotine to carry out reforms" Tan Xuguang and Weichai behind him People "turned the blade inward", overcoming difficulties one after another, and ushering in one spring after another in the development of the enterprise.

From a local enterprise with an output value of several hundred million to a multinational group with a revenue of 500 billion, it took only 20 years for the "Weichai Department" under Tan Xuguang's rule. Behind the gratifying achievements, the huge scale expansion in a short period of time has caused the enterprise management to face the difficulty of transforming the governance system from a factory system to an international group. To be fair, problems are inevitable. Weichai, which punishes the past and avoids the future, cures diseases and saves people, and dares to face the pain points, can be a model for the management reform of state-owned enterprises!
