Chapter 18, amazing performance
Each of the various roles in the group has its own benefits, but the riskiest one is being a leader.
In this kind of role, it is very easy to overturn because you cannot control the field, and you often face competition from timekeepers who try to control the field for performance.
But if you can control the situation, a leader can also be very good.
Tao Zhizhong was interested in the rapporteur. As the last person to speak, he could directly face the interviewer and make the final statement, which would allow him to take advantage of his calm temperament.
This kind of advantage may not necessarily have good results when used as a leader to guide discussions.
What if these people just want to argue?
What's more, there is the X factor Yamane Yokohisa.
The first guy who introduced himself just now was probably trying to establish a more proactive and cheerful person, so he said: "Let's start by identifying the timekeeper. We need to wear a watch to make it more convenient. Is anyone willing to take on this role?
?”
Tao Zhiming did not wear a watch, but this guy did find a good entry point, and his speech was very efficient.
Does he want to take on the role of leader? Already trying to lead the discussion.
Soon, a girl wearing a watch tried to say: "I can be a timekeeper."
Yamane Yokohisa immediately said: "I can do it too."
He didn't say much, but he used his bolder tone to create an momentum.
Finally, under the auspices of the person who spoke first, Yamane Yokohisa was determined as the timekeeper through voting.
In just one minute, everyone seemed to have acquiesced that he would be the leader.
At this time, Tao Zhiming said: "Let me be the rapporteur. I will truthfully describe everyone's speeches and final conclusions and show the results we have achieved as a team. Please trust me!"
If you state truthfully and add the trust card, if someone obviously objects at this time, it will appear that the awareness of teamwork is too low.
Tao Zhiming got the role he wanted in just one sentence.
After a record reviewer is identified, the discussion begins.
The topic is very clear, with 5 alternative plans, a total budget, and the ultimate goal: to form a unified plan.
Although Tao Zhiming was the last person to report, he did not give up his speech during the discussion.
"...The idea of participating in sponsoring the school anniversary, although many outstanding people participated in that occasion. But if it is not an exclusive sponsorship, it will not make people remember Sumitomo very well..."
"The establishment of scholarships will spread Sumitomo's image of responsibility for public welfare. It will take a long time to produce a very good recruitment guidance effect..."
"Sponsoring club activities has too little influence. We all have the experience of participating in club activities. In fact, when it comes to it, people with different backgrounds are like two worlds..."
"..."
Listening to their respective exchanges, all in all, it can be said that they are not without insights. The students who come to Sumitomo to apply for jobs are more or less capable.
But Tao Zhiming suddenly spoke in a tone of participation in the discussion: "I would like to add a background, I believe it is very important."
The person who assumed the role of leader by default said: "Classmate Tao Dalang, please explain in detail."
Tao Zhiming then said: "The economic situation is so prosperous, we can't just consider the static situation. The situation of recruiting students in recent years is different from previous years. Financing channels have been broadened, and the amount of funds available to major associations is greatly abundant.
, the talent war will be more intense in the future, and this is also a change that needs to be considered, right?"
These words caused everyone to think briefly. Yamane Yokohisa said: "That's true. I'm afraid that plans that can highlight Sumitomo's strength need to be given priority..."
Tao Zhiming pointed out this element and just continued to listen to the discussion attentively.
But obviously, this point is the main reason why this question is discussed.
Sumitomo itself, as a first-class company, no longer needs to emphasize issues of image and influence.
Instead, it’s about how to deal with other competitors throwing money at you and tempting students. So, since the question specifies Sumitomo, it’s a defensive question.
Defend instead of attack.
This opinion added by Tao Zhiming somewhat corrects the direction of the discussion and hits the nail on the head.
One of the four interviewers looked at him without revealing any trace.
Sure enough, after thinking for a while, someone suddenly said: "Sustained activities have a longer-term effect. Sponsoring club activities can be designated as a method. The club will hold lecture-style activities on campus regularly. Please go to Sumitomo.
Seniors went back to school to share. After joining Sumitomo, the decent status and income, the important cases they participated in, and the colorful life of Sumitomo gradually formed a saying of 'choose Sumitomo, choose a broader future, and a more imaginative life'.
impression……"
He seemed to be so excited that he couldn't stop talking, but Yamane Yokohisa immediately said: "Due to time constraints, this classmate from Tsukuba hasn't spoken much yet. Please let him share his thoughts."
In a disguised form, this person was prevented from talking, and it also gave others a chance to show off.
The group meeting was held in this atmosphere.
Everyone wants to show off themselves, compete with others, and present a "collaborative" atmosphere of meeting as a team to discuss issues.
Tao Zhiming was a little surprised that the argument did not occur as he had imagined.
This was the 1980s, and a group of students from Neon's most outstanding universities suddenly had this consciousness.
Maybe it's because of the relatively "polite" influence in their cultural genes, but it is undeniable that, unlike Okita Kyoko, they know more about some taboos in interviews.
Although Tao Zhiming's role is the final summary statement, it does not mean that he cannot express his opinions in free discussions.
He often doesn't make long speeches, but always uses one or two sentences to inspire others to push the plan in a more detailed and innovative direction.
Faintly, he already has the ability to "guide the discussion framework" better than that leader.
Everyone felt this. The way Yamane Yokohisa looked at him was inevitably more complicated. Others and the interviewer deepened the impression they had on Tao Zhiming when he introduced himself: This guy has a broad vision and a clear goal!
After 20 minutes of free discussion, it was Tao Zhiming’s turn to make a final report.
Tao Zhiming stood up, without reading any records, and said calmly: "During the 20-minute discussion, our first clear conclusion is that the target is not the students of the school, but to use this incident to create as many people as possible
Publicity effect. The mission is to reflect Sumitomo's strength, sincerity and potential through cooperation, and to convey the impression that 'Sumitomo is a good choice' to students at first-class universities. During the discussion..."
He clearly mentioned the names of the other seven people and the valuable speeches they put forward, and finally said clearly: "So, we suggest that cooperation adopt the form of organizing a competition, with multiple university societies organizing teams to participate.
The main funds are used for organizing events and awards, mobilizing the sense of honor and enthusiasm of university societies, and letting them complete publicity within the university."
"Sumitomo will use part of the funds to amplify the influence of this competition award. At the same time, outstanding members who have graduated from various universities and worked for Sumitomo can serve as mentors to let current students feel the influence of Sumitomo employees.
status, wealth."
"Although the 5 million yen jackpot accounts for half of the budget, because of the huge amount, it is a news point for publicity. It will create a strong sensational effect and be very attractive to students.
Matching Sumitomo's image and status. By creating news, we can save a lot of media costs. Sumitomo's president attending the award ceremony can also become a symbol of honor."
"In addition, this is my final personal addition. For students who enter the final stage, even though they are still in their second or third year, Sumitomo can express their intention to be admitted in advance. Once this is formed as an unspoken rule, Sumitomo will be better than its competitors.
Get ahead of the curve and lock in the best potential students a year in advance."
After he finished his speech, he sat down.
Entered the final interviewer's question session.
The first question was asked by Tao Zhiming: "It is against the rules to express one's intention to admit one year in advance. Moreover, the time until graduation is longer and the uncertainty is greater. How to solve this problem?"
Tao Zhiming said confidently: "Things that break the rules will continue to appear. Sumitomo does not need to completely solve the problem of uncertainty. It only needs to let the group of outstanding students confirm that Sumitomo can make exceptions for the sake of talents. Such exceptions
, is a source of honor and sense of achievement for students, and Sumitomo's image and influence have been established. Whether they can finally enter Sumitomo is not the purpose of the activity itself, but the effectiveness of the work of Sumitomo's human resources department.
"
The person who asked the question was noncommittal, but there was clearly a smile in his eyes.
Can you instantly clarify the essence of the interviewer's questions and give effective answers?
Good rule-breaking things will keep popping up.
This is really not important.
Rules are meant to be broken.
A few years ago, where would there be any gift money given to the admitted candidates?
This man gave an amazing performance.
