Wu Hao looked at Zou Xiaodong's reaction and couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, you are one of the founders of our company and also the deputy general manager of the company. Why, can we not have this responsibility?"
Wu Hao smiled and joked, and then continued: "However, I am not asking you to be a bad guy. More appropriately, I am asking you to act as a 'rational questioner'.
Your questions will push the team to think more comprehensively about the problem and plan the plan in more detail.
This is good for the company and good for the team.”
"Think about it, with your banner of 'opposition', wouldn't Tong Juan's side become more reasonable and more able to unite people's hearts?" Having said this, Wu Hao gently patted Zou Xiaodong's shoulder.
, continued: "Moreover, you are not fighting alone. If necessary, I will also stand up in a timely manner to share some 'firepower' with you."
After hearing this, Zou Xiaodong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You guys always give me problems.
But having said that, since you trust me so much, then I will give it a try. But we have to agree that if I am attacked by the crowd, you have to support me. "
Wu Hao laughed when he heard this: "Haha, don't be so pessimistic.
Think about it, after the success of this reform, the future of the company will be brighter, and your efforts and contributions will be remembered by everyone. Moreover,"
Zou Xiaodong sighed and looked at Wu Hao's serious eyes. He knew that he could not shirk this task.
He nodded and said, "Okay, since you trust me so much, then I'll give it a try.
However, Brother Hao, you have to ensure that I have enough tea to drink, otherwise I won’t be able to hold on."
After hearing this, Wu Hao laughed again, and while pouring tea for Zou Xiaodong, he said: "Don't worry, the tea pipe is enough, and there is good tea waiting for you."
Zou Xiaodong nodded, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, since you said so, I will go all out.
However, we have to think carefully and see how to sing this ‘counter-tune’ just right. Otherwise, I am worried that this will cause divisions in the team and even affect the cohesion of the team?”
After hearing this, Wu Hao smiled slightly and said: "Your concerns are very reasonable. However, any team will inevitably have some disagreements and conflicts during the reform process.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, but can stimulate more vitality and creativity in the team. The key lies in how we guide and handle these differences and contradictions.
I believe that as long as we insist on taking the overall interests of the company as the starting point and face different voices with an open and inclusive attitude, we will be able to maintain the cohesion and centripetal force of the team."
After hearing this, Zou Xiaodong suddenly felt enlightened. He nodded deeply and said, "Okay, I understand. I will do it as you ask."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the tea in the cups glowed golden under the light. Just like the reform they were about to face, it was full of challenges and full of hope.
In the days that followed, Zou Xiaodong gradually worked in the marketing and publicity departments in his own way.
True to what Wu Hao said, Zou Xiaodong began to raise doubts and concerns about the reform plan at various meetings.
He sometimes questioned and sometimes challenged, but he paid great attention to propriety, neither being too fierce nor too negative, which appropriately triggered an in-depth discussion on the necessity of reform of the marketing department.
Although there are many contradictions and conflicts in the process, every collision makes the team's cohesion stronger and the pace of reform more stable.
And just as Wu Hao expected, Tong Juan relied on Zou Xiaodong's "countermeasures" to successfully unite the employees in the marketing department to face the challenges of reform together.
In many cases, Zou Xiaodong's strong opposition aroused the hatred of many employees in the marketing department, including other departments, and once made Zou Xiaodong a big villain in the company.
This also makes Zou Xiaodong the person that many people talk about and the person they least want to see. So many times, when Zou Xiaodong appears in the company, many employees hide away when they see him.
Some people who couldn't escape could only say hello to him and then leave quickly as if they were running for their lives.
Moreover, some internal employee comments in the company also spread to the Internet, which once put Zou Xiaodongcheng under great pressure.
For this reason, Zou Xiaodong often came to Wu Hao to complain. But Wu Hao persuaded him every time because he had to continue to be a "bad guy" and villain.
Although some difficulties and resistance were encountered in the process, with the full support of Wu Hao and Zou Xiaodong, and under the leadership of Tong Juan, the marketing department began to gradually implement plans to lay off employees and introduce new blood, and ultimately successfully promoted the reform of the marketing department.
As time goes by, the results of the reform gradually become apparent. The personnel structure of the marketing department has been optimized, and the injection of fresh blood has made the team full of vitality. The strategies of the publicity department have become more precise and effective, and the company's brand influence has gradually expanded.
Performance will naturally increase accordingly.
In this reform, Zou Xiaodong's "countermeasures" played a key role. He not only provided strong support for Tong Juan at critical moments, but also skillfully resolved the contradictions and conflicts within the team, demonstrating his ability as a senior
The wisdom and responsibility of managers.
By this time, many people began to come back to their senses.
Is Zou Xiaodong really a bad guy? Is he really a villain? Obviously not. To put it bluntly, this is a target launched by the company's senior management to attract everyone's firepower.
With this target, everyone can vent their anger and dissatisfaction, unite as one, and speak to the outside world in unison, thereby getting closer to the success of this reform.
Therefore, Zou Xiaodong's image within the company also began to gradually change. The success of the reform made everyone in the company look at Zou Xiaodong with admiration.
Employees who once avoided him and misunderstood him now greet him with a more sincere attitude and even ask him questions in private.
Now, walking in the corridors of the company, he is no longer the "big villain" who is shunned, but has become a respectable senior in the eyes of many employees. Sometimes, he even hears some new employees talking privately about Zou
He is always a forward-looking person, and his questions and challenges are all for the better development of the company.
Wu Hao looked at all this and felt extremely pleased. He knew that Zou Xiaodong's "countermeasures" not only promoted the reform of the marketing department, but also promoted the change of the company's overall atmosphere to some extent.
Employees began to think more actively about problems and dared to put forward different opinions. The company's innovation and execution capabilities have been greatly improved.
However, this is just the beginning. Whether the new market operation team can withstand the pressure under the leadership of Tong Juan and break through bottlenecks and develop under the pursuit of so many competitors is the key.
