Question: In order to save costs in the Journey to the West, Tang Taizong needed to lay off a member of the team. Which one should be laid off and why?
There was one of the most successful project teams in ancient times, and that was the learning team in Journey to the West.
In order to complete the task of learning from the West, a learning team was formed. The members were Tang Seng, Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and Bai Longma.
Among them, Tang Seng is the project manager, Monkey King is the technical core, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk are ordinary members, and Bai Longma is the boss's car.
The senior leader of this team is Guanyin.
The composition of the team is interesting:
1. As a project manager, Tang Seng has a very tough character and extremely high principle. He does not stop until he reaches the goal, and he is supported and appreciated by his boss (directly appointed by Tang Taizong, both for the robes and the golden bowl; Also received extensive support and help from various gods headed by Guanyin).
2. Monk Sha did not speak much and worked hard without complaining, and took on such a clumsy and boring task in the project.
3. This member of Zhu Bajie seems to be lazy, greedy for money and lust, and reluctant to work. At most, he is dismissed. It seems that there is no use in staying in the team. In fact, his existence is still very useful, because he has a cheerful personality and can accept Any criticism without burden, assumes the role of lubricant in the project team.
4. The most important thing is Monkey King. Because Monkey King is the core of this learning team, but his personality is extreme. Thinking back to his history of making the sky, I am afraid that as an ordinary person, no one will let this kind of person stay in the team. .
5. The white dragon horse is a car used by Tang Monk for office and business trips, and a symbol of status.
That being the case, this topic is very interesting and classic. It was originally an indispensable "Gang of Five", called "perfect team".
But to save costs, Tang Taizong had to lay off one person.
Who should be laid off?
1. Tang Seng, definitely can't lay off, directly get the appointment letter from Tang Taizong (President), both for the robes and the Golden Bowl. Without him, it is impossible to complete the mission of the president-learn from the experience.
He is the most critical person in the project team, the chief helmsman.
2. Monkey King, strong mana, proficient in technology, business expert (killing monsters), can be described as a technical team leader, encountering difficulties (monsters), eliminating all the way, escorting, ensuring the safety of the master's life, and smooth roads.
Besides, both the gods and demons have related households, and the bosses of the gods and demons have to make three points.
Although he has a history of making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he has improved his life and temper by reflecting and practicing under the Wuzhi Mountain.
On the road to entrepreneurship, although I was angry with my master many times and often lost my temper, I finally returned to the master to overcome difficulties together.
As the saying goes, "A person is not a sage, no one can fail."
To be a great cause, Tang Seng must have a long-term perspective to see the problem, and the choice is only a matter of thought.
A person with ability must be a person with personality. It depends on how the leader makes good use of him, maximizes his strengths and avoids weaknesses, and maximizes his strengths.
Therefore, one cannot do without Monkey King, with only a commander and no fighters, leaving a few logistics for cooking, and the battle will be defeated.
3. Zhu Bajie, he was originally the marshal of the Canopy, because of his lust, ruined his future.
He can be a marshal, he must have his uniqueness, charm and communication skills.
He has a cheerful and energetic personality and is especially fond of women. He has been bullied by Monkey King. He is always in the dark. He can accept any criticism without burden. He has a particularly good mentality and is still happy to do his job. He assumed the role of lubricant in the project team.
If a team does not have "pistachios", it is just a dull atmosphere, without vitality and joy, presumably the consequences will be serious and will be driven crazy.
Happy work can have good performance, so Zhu Bajie cannot be cut.
4. Bailongma, he is Tang Seng’s car, a symbol of his status. Now which senior executive in the company does not drive a luxury car on business trips, work, and pick-up? You can never ask him to take a bus or walk for business trips.
At the same time, Bailongma greatly improved work efficiency for Tang Seng, and indirectly saved costs.
Therefore, the white dragon horse is also indispensable.
5. Monk Sha, he is equivalent to the assistant worker and porter in the enterprise, he works hard, has no technical content, and is highly replaceable.
In order to save business costs, it is entirely possible to assign tasks to other team members (Wukong, Bajie).
Before Tang Seng recruited Monk Sha, these chores were not done by Wukong and Bajie.
Therefore, in order to save business costs, the Sha monk must be cut when necessary.
If someday the organization wants to recall him, I think, with the character of Monk Yisha, he will still be happy to come back.
Regardless of long-term or short-term considerations, cutting off the Sha monk is a relatively reasonable approach.
Based on the above analysis, the best choice can only be to cut the monk Sha.
Therefore, it is useless to work hard. If you want to be invincible in today's society and not be easily eliminated, you must have a skill, improve your core competitiveness, make a good career plan, and improve the gold content of your skills. Become the irreplaceable one.
It is you who naturally laughed last.
If you have not discovered your core competence, you can ask your superiors or colleagues close to you for their feedback on you, and listen to what is your greatest strength in their hearts.
Or go to the Internet to find some professional career planning assessments to test. When screening these assessments, you also have to pay attention to it. Generally, it depends on whether its dimensions are comprehensive. Generally speaking, the MBTI career personality test and Holland career interest test only have personality or interest. One dimension is relatively single. Here, I suggest that you find some career planning assessments that integrate interest and personality dimensions, such as T12 career planning assessments.
The assessment can help you recognize your outstanding professional talents more scientifically and what aspects of your character are more competent to do.
Once you find this core competency, you should consciously or unconsciously establish a relationship between yourself and this competency in the workplace; strive for projects related to this competency. Even your circle of friends should forward more articles related to this ability. To be able to let others think of you whenever they encounter related problems.
