今天冲到邹岭的新办公室做客。在出租车上，翻了翻随身带的红皮的笔记本，发现一些2年前的一个eBay内部会议的潦草的记录。eBay开高层会议的时候常请来一些重量级的嘉宾。那一年是GE的Jeff Immelt。记录的东西没有任何条理，也不想加我的评论，仅仅是听到的只言片语。或许对大家也是个启发。
Big vs Small
- Credibility
- Big + Fast always beat small + fast
- Love and inspire people, but GE is not for everyone
- Mistakes we still make
- Allow bureaucracy to win – too process based
- Too intenal/too American – lose love of customers
- Confuse current success with future position
- Metrics that reward the wrong behavior
- Play small
Leadership
- I have stayed at GE for 25 years so that I could be in the front seat of history
- Zoom in, zoom out…
- “I don’t believe in professional management”.
- 4-5 things deep dive
- Good managers show interest…
- These is no substance of experience
- Build something that last is beautiful
Innovation
- 10 years ago, everyone was trained by processes, like six-sigma. Now we are all about innovation
- People has to be the core DNA of the company
- You cannot just come to work and chop wood
- You have to drive change and develop other leaders
Making deicisions and Communication
- Make decision fast, faster and faster, for small companies, and large companies!
- Decision cycle time
- How the organization can be quicker
- Clarity of community
- Drive the speed
- Decisive = clearly Yes or No
- Clarify is key
- When we go, we go
- Make a very clear call
On Exit
- Someone can run the business better than us, it is time to exit
- A company that makes money from chaos.
- In a good company, you always has to prioritize very hard
- GE is all about system, that is tough to match
10 years ago, everyone was trained by processes, like six-sigma. Now we are all about innovation. Great!
呵呵, 我觉得”I don’t believe in professional management”这句话挺有意思的。
Immelt 所说的话都是对的。许多企业管理学教师跟他一样宣传这些对21世纪的CEO的要求。不过问题是，在最高领导之下的管理人员当中，几乎没人遵守这种“完善企业管理小手册”里面的内容。
至于 ”Metrics that reward the wrong behavior“，人们都知道如果银行业重视这一点的话，我们就不会遭遇到目前的次级房贷风暴的。
次贷危机的确是对美国信用制度的一个大讽刺。
规则制度是人制定的，就算再完美的制度规则，执行起来也会有疏忽和漏洞，就像软件是好东西，但是做过软件开发的人都知道，软件没有bug那是不可能的事情，硬件亦然。
