****It is not surprising that poor people have poor man's thinking, but I have seen many bosses who also have this thinking. What does this thinking indicate? It indicates that being rich does not mean your thinking is rich man's thinking; nor does being poor now mean your thinking is poor man's thinking. So, what are the poor man's thinking patterns of bosses? Boss's poor man's thinking #1: I pay you according to how much work you do for me. "The more work you do for me, the more money I give you" is the most common poor man's thinking. Why are the rich rich? Simply because they have investment thinking, investment vision, seize opportunities, and dare to invest. This is a logical question of giving first and then getting, or getting first and then giving; the investment logic of investing first and then reaping, or reaping first and then investing. But most bosses have this logic: employees must first work hard before they get paid, but they absolutely do not have the investment logic of investing in employees first and then reaping. Unless it is a large enterprise, they first train employees, then hope employees master skills or techniques, and only after employees are proficient can they work for the company without errors. That is investment logic. In China's urbanization process, if a person dares to invest in real estate, even borrowing money to gamble on property, I believe these people will become rich. The key is whether you have such vision, such thinking, and such courage. Just like many enterprises now, bosses always want to hire a few cheap people at low wages, but they are unwilling and dare not pay double to hire a capable and loyal expert. This is the boss's poor man's thinking. Boss's poor man's thinking #2: Being calculating about how much subordinates get. Being calculating about how much subordinates get is the second poor man's thinking that bosses have. A boss set tasks for the sales department at the beginning of the year, promising that if they exceeded industry growth by more than 10% by year-end, the company would reward each salesperson 50,000 yuan, the sales manager 100,000 yuan, and the marketing vice president 300,000 yuan. With such bonus incentives, the entire sales department went crazy, each striving forward. By mid-year, sales performance had already completed 70% of the annual task. The boss looked at the data and thought, "If this continues, won't they easily get a large sales bonus?" So, he called the HR manager to discuss, thinking the assessment plan needed to be redefined, and the company introduced a new assessment plan, changing from assessing sales volume to assessing profit. Of course, the revised plan was only beneficial to the boss. After seeing the boss's plan, the entire sales team was like a deflated ball, wilted! What is the problem with such a boss who breaks his word? It is also because of the poor man's thinking of calculating how much subordinates gain. A successful boss told me a sentence: his secret to success is never being jealous of how much others get, as long as he makes money. That hits the nail on the head! Smart bosses generally care about how much they get; how much others get is their own business. If you are always calculating how much others get, then you definitely lack cooperative thinking. Cooperative thinking is a necessary trait for modern people, especially modern bosses; without cooperation, there is no talent, no capital, no resources, and you cannot accomplish any undertaking. Boss's poor man's thinking #3: Taking credit for subordinates' work. Many bosses ask me: Why can't I find talent? I ask in return: Boss, if talent comes to you, can you keep them? Why can't you keep talent? There are many reasons, but one point that bosses rarely consider is that bosses like to take credit for subordinates' work. The common characteristic of bosses who take credit for subordinates' work is that they are micromanagers, wanting to be involved in everything, unwilling to delegate any power, as if afraid others will eat up their company. Of course, their dedication to work is commendable, and their focus on things is worth learning. But one drawback is that doing so makes the boss very tired, the enterprise finds it hard to retain talent, and the development of the enterprise is worrying! A boss who produces base paper for household paper always complains that his subordinates are incompetent, saying they are not as capable as he is. Why? It turns out that selling base paper does not require much sales skill: first, the quality of the base paper; second, the price; third, how much credit period you can give customers. In the era of homogenization, the only means left for selling base paper are price and credit period. But both rights are in the hands of the boss. The reason this boss can sell base paper every time he visits a customer is simple: the boss can lower the price or give customers a credit period, while other salespeople do not have such power. At meetings, the boss always criticizes these salespeople, saying they are incompetent, and that when he goes out, he can sell the base paper. Facing such a situation, the salespeople dare not refute. Over time, the sales staff feel they cannot display their abilities in this company, and all the credit is taken by the boss. There is no point in staying, so they quickly leave. Of course, the boss then has no talent to use. If a boss has the above poor man's thinking patterns, then this boss has not truly possessed investment thinking; he just got rich by chance. Such a boss is unlikely to achieve much, is hard-pressed to gather talent for the enterprise, and is unlikely to outcompete other enterprises in the industry in the new era. So, rather than saying the enterprise is determined by the boss, it is better to say the enterprise is determined by the boss's thinking mode! -END- Running Brothers Cocktail National Recruitment.

The Boss's Poor Man's Thinking Will Kill the Enterprise!
It is not surprising that poor people have poor man's thinking, but I have seen many bosses who also have this thinking. This shows that being rich does not mean you have rich man's thinking, nor does being poor mean you have poor man's thinking. So, what are the poor man's thinking patterns of bosses? One is: 'I pay you according to how much work you do for me.' Another is being jealous of subordinates' gains, and a third is taking credit for subordinates' work.
