How To Manage "Imperial Relatives"

On the world manager's website the first two days saw a topic of discussion: how to manage the "royal family"?

There are many different kinds of discussions involved, but they are all in the mood. Because they have been in private enterprises, they have met some so-called "Royal relatives". They also have some dealings with the so-called "Royal relatives", so spend some time talking about their views!

In China's private enterprises, many enterprises are bosses and relatives or family members when they start a business. When the enterprise develops to a certain scale, with the increasing number of professional managers joining the company, many managers will inevitably encounter the so-called "imperial relatives" in enterprises. This is a natural and ordinary thing.

In enterprises, the so-called "Royal relatives" you may encounter are your own immediate superiors. They may also be colleagues in other departments, or they may be their own subordinates.

The key point of this article is how to manage those "imperial relatives" who are their subordinates. For other "imperial relatives", they will not be discussed in this article. However, I believe that this article provides some ideas on how to manage the "royal family" and how to deal with other types of "Huang Qinguo Qi".

So how do we manage the "royal family"?

As a manager, "strike iron needs to be hard!" it is not right, but it is not right. Although it is not right, managers must first make demands on themselves. They must familiarize themselves with their own business scope, and must be proficient. If managers are not familiar with their duties, they will not be able to provide any guidance or constructive advice if they are not familiar with their duties. They can not help or promote the growth of their subordinates. They are unable to effectively manage the so-called "royal family". Therefore, as managers, they should fully understand and familiarize themselves with their business scope, and have certain personality training as the basis for management.

As managers, subordinates should be "virtuous" and "competent".

And only "serve" can not last long, to "moral service" and "service" and use can guarantee the true obedient of subordinates!

　　其次，管理者不能预设前提，不能戴上有色眼镜，想当然地认为所谓的“皇亲国戚”不好管!甚至根本不能管!我认为，把企业的员工贴上“皇亲国戚”的标签在一定程度上对管理的有效开展是一种误导!很多所谓的“皇亲国戚”自己也许根本就没有观注自己身份的特殊性，他们也不过是把自己当做是企业的普通员工而矣!但由于一些管理者对自己的管理才能和管理水平或领导能力的不自信!从而把这些与老板具有一定亲属关系的人看作一个特殊的群体而加以区别对待!这样做的结果是首先在心理上就有了一种“前怕狼后怕虎”的感受!作为一个优秀的管理者，至少首先在战略思维上对所谓的“皇亲国戚”不应该有这样的心理反应!要把所谓的“皇亲国戚”当做是普通的员工没有二样!当然在战术运作上还是要重视。

This is what Chairman Mao has said: "we should despise all enemies in strategy, and all enemies in tactics."

Of course, we can not treat the so-called "Royal relatives" as enemies.

From the situation of "Royal relatives", the so-called "imperial relatives" can also do things, but also has poor ability to do things well, and even dig corners of enterprises such as "blood sucking worms" and so on.

As managers, different types of "Royal relatives" should have different strategies or ways to manage them.

No matter what type of "Royal relatives", we should first treat them as ordinary employees, define their job responsibilities and scope of work, as well as the corresponding work standards and work objectives, and establish quantitative assessment criteria to evaluate and assess their work ability and performance, and evaluate their performance by objective assessment results.

In this way, any management measures you have to take should be supported accordingly.

For the "royal family" who "can do things and be willing to do things", we must adopt the strategy of "alliance" and unite with them, and communicate with them regularly to win their understanding of your work. If necessary, they are indispensable support for your work or overcoming difficulties.

And this type of "imperial relatives", because of their special identity and close relationship with the interests of enterprises, they will be more concerned about the development of enterprises. They hope that enterprises can develop better. For this type of "royal family," if possible, they can often wear high hat to them, emphasize their strong performance of their work performance on other employees of the enterprise, and allow them to put forward "high standards" and "strict requirements" for their work.

For "Royal relatives" who can do things but do not have strong will, give appropriate pressure to stimulate or encourage them to turn into "Royal relatives" who can do things and are willing to do things.

Then we can take the "alliance" strategy.

For the "royal family" who lack ability but want to do things, they can adjust them to suitable jobs according to their abilities.

For those who occupy the key position but refuse to make reasonable adjustments to their jobs, they should try to "marginalized" their work and keep them away from the core work.

For the adjustment of the "royal family", we should arrange for them to do something in their power to enable them to do so that they can also exert their abilities.

Otherwise, if they have enough food to eat and do nothing, they may go out of their wits. A reasonable strategy is to fill their working hours so that they do not have time to do boring work. This type of "royal family" can provide them with corresponding help if they have the potential and willingness to improve their abilities. If you can help them effectively improve their working abilities, you will certainly be able to closely unite them around you.

　　对于那种不能做事，还要挖企业墙角的如“吸血虫”之类的“皇亲国戚”，要采用“清除”策略，因为这种类型的“皇亲国戚”是不可能或者是非常难被你所感化和教化的!只有清除出去才能纯洁你的队伍!“吸血虫”之类的“皇亲国戚”对你的团队，对企业的危害极大，绝不能放任姑息，绝不能长期留在自己的队伍里，否则最后老板要请走的可能就是你了!对于这种类型“皇亲国戚”要敢于进行斗争!当然要斗争你就得有斗争的艺术和策略，不能蛮干!在对付这种类型的“皇亲国戚”前，你不能一上来就和他对立!你自己先要在工作上展露自己的能力，取得关键人物和重要人物对你工作的支持，在企业内部站稳脚步，再培养和巩固自己的“同盟”力量。

It is necessary to establish corresponding management systems and mechanisms to stop them from exploiting loopholes in their work to facilitate their personal gain, and to restrain them from the system and process first, so that they do not let them interrupt you every day.

When the time is ripe, cut the Gordian knot quickly and take advantage of the strength to work together with other forces. One shot is fatal and can not give the opponent any chance to fight back or turn over.

Because this type of "royal family" usually has great activity energy.

If you can't kill a single shot, you'd better not play it well, otherwise you will probably hurt yourself by opposing your opponent.

If you face several such "Royal relatives" at the same time, it is really your misfortune! You have to take the strategy of "divide and pform" and "destroy them all", so that they can not have the opportunity to join hands to deal with you.

You can't manipulate office politics in private enterprises, but you can't understand the strategy and art of office politics.

No matter what measures you take for the so-called "Royal relatives", you must communicate well with the boss, and give sufficient facts and evidence to get the boss's full understanding and support. If the boss can not understand and support, he can tolerate such a situation. You'd better not do anything.

Otherwise, before you make a decision, the boss may make a decision contrary to you later.

The highest state of struggle is not to argue, but to contend.

You can only do your job well. The boss will take the initiative to clear up the obstacles for you at the critical moment! But it's very difficult! Ha ha!
