In Gao Shen's previous life in a mixed company, when he first became a team leader, he once learned from a leader in private.
After eating several meals and drinking several kilograms of wine, he dug out the seven-character secret from his leader.
Set goals, lead people, and keep an eye on the process.
In the leader's terms, he has been able to dominate the workplace for decades, all thanks to these seven-word formula.
The seven characters represent the three axes.
Goal, no need to guess, is to set a goal for the team.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a KPI indicator issued by a superior leader or a plan set within your own team. Anyway, you need to set a goal for the team. Only with a goal can you have a direction.
This goal is also very particular. It cannot be too high. If it is divorced from reality, it will be like launching satellites. But it cannot be too low, too relaxed. No one is under pressure. In a short period of time, the atmosphere will be harmonious, but over time, you will truly be able to make progress.
People who love you will leave you.
Once you have a goal, the next step is to lead people.
The so-called leading people is not just about being a good manager, but also about knowing how to teach, how to delegate authority, and how to train the employees under you.
The biggest difference between employees and leaders is that employees only need to know how to work, but leaders must know how to direct employees to work, and also make them work for you willingly.
A good leader is like a good teacher, and everyone knows how difficult it is to be a good teacher.
It’s difficult in school, but it’s even harder in society and in companies!
But as long as you have the people in place, then things are basically done. The next thing you need to do is to keep an eye on the process.
This is also a science. It should not be too tight or too loose. The team atmosphere must be well established, rewards and punishments must be clear, and both inside and outside must be monitored to create a focused working environment for the team.
In the third stage, leaders are actually more relaxed, so it is often seen that the bosses or department heads of some companies are leisurely and leisurely every day, but their employees and teams are just able to do their jobs well.
Beautiful, that's why.
Many people are promoted from employees to managers and find themselves extremely depressed and stressed. The key is that they did not upgrade from the role of an employee to the role of a leader in time.
It can be said that Gao Shen's good life in his previous life was due to those few meals and several kilograms of wine back then.
…
After time travel, whether he is in Real Madrid, Naples, or today's Manchester City, Gao Shen also practices these seven words.
Therefore, he set a goal for the team early, which is the league championship.
This is by no means false, because with Manchester City's current player configuration and investment of more than 200 million euros, if Gao Shen does not dare to shout this championship, it will really be a big blow to the team's morale.
How bold a person is, how productive the land is.
He doesn't even dare to call for goals. Is there any future for him with a head coach like this?
As for leading people, Gao Shen has been doing this.
There are no problems on the coaching staff's side. They are all old partners, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. On the contrary, on the players' side, Gao Shen is solving the problems one by one.
From Robinho to Sturridge, and now Giroud, Gao Shen has been solving problems one after another.
Nowadays, Manchester City's biggest problem at the moment, and also the most troublesome problem for Gao Shen, is Robben.
Judging from the last two league rounds, Robinho's condition has recovered very well, especially after improving his physical fitness, his performance has also been improving steadily.
This Brazilian player is very good at running and is very skilled with his feet. During his time at Real Madrid, after being trained by Gao Shen and Capello, he is no longer as sticky with the ball as he used to be. He can still pass the ball when he needs to.
The next step for Gao Shen is to keep an eye on Robinho and keep him from slacking off. At the same time, he must also pay attention to his condition, especially when he returns to China to participate in the national team competition.
But Robben's problem is much more serious.
On the one hand, he is transforming, and on the other hand, his body is also strengthening muscle training. This in itself will make it difficult for him to get out of shape. In addition, he is new to Manchester City and is not very adaptable to Manchester City. As a result, Robben has not yet truly felt
Show the level of a world-class star.
What's even worse is that the public opinion environment in the British media is very unfriendly to him, which puts him under a lot of pressure now.
The greater the pressure, the more eager he is to prove himself, but the more so, the easier it is for problems to arise.
Gao Shen and the coaching staff have tried their best to protect him, but Robben is a person who has extremely high demands on himself and is extremely competitive. Now he is watching Suarez, Robinho and other players shine.
Even Sturridge can score twice and Hazard can perform well, can he still be calm?
Gao Shen knows very well that Robben's problem must be solved.
As long as the Dutch are trained by him, the next thing will be much easier.
But how easy is it?
…
After the game, Gao Shen followed his usual practice and walked to the sidelines and hugged the players one by one as they walked off the court.
When he saw Robben with his head hanging down, trying to walk from the bench into the tunnel and return to the locker room, he called out to Robben.
"Aryan, wait a moment."
Robben was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Shen strangely, but he still stopped.
The others were also curious, but no one gossiped and they all left.
Carlo and others also knew that Gao Shen had something to say to Robben alone, so they said hello and all went back.
Soon, only Gao Shen and Robben were left in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.
Above their heads were the boos coming from Portsmouth fans.
"I think you have put too much pressure on yourself during this period of time, and your whole body has collapsed too tightly. This is not good."
Robben squinted his eyes and tried his best to smile, "I'm fine, boss."
Gao Shen stretched out his hand, put his arm around Robben's shoulders, and faced the coaching bench. He didn't want others to see or photograph their conversation. After all, no one could guarantee whether they would be bored enough to find a lip reader to translate.
"I took a look at the schedule of your Dutch national team. Now that the World Cup has qualified ahead of schedule, the two games in September, one is a warm-up match against Japan and the other is a group match against Scotland, are basically useless.
I suggest that I make a call to Van Marwijk, and you don’t have to go back to the country to compete, and you don’t have to stay with the team to train. I will give you two weeks of vacation, have a good rest, and completely relax."
The Dutch national team has now qualified ahead of schedule, and is still more than ten points ahead of qualifying. It can be said that it is meaningless to play Scotland in the last round, and the same is true for the warm-up match against Japan.
"Boss, I think I can do it." Robben shook his head.
Gao Shen looked at Robben solemnly, "Aryan, I believe you know your own state very well. If you continue to tighten your nerves and play like this, I don't know how long you can last, and you can easily get injured."
"I believe that Van Marwijk also hopes that you can face next year's World Cup in a better state and mental outlook, so adjust as soon as possible and return to your peak state, whether it is for us at Manchester City or the Dutch national team.
All good things.”
With that said, Gao Shen patted Robben's shoulder hard, "Listen to me, Aryan, have a good rest. You can go wherever you want during the two-week holiday. If you go to Dubai, I still have Emirates Airline."
With free air tickets and the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, how about you take your family and relax?"
Now that it's all said and done, Robben really can't shirk it.
Frankly speaking, he was indeed tired.
After Gao Shen got his approval, he immediately found Van Marwijk's phone number.
A few days ago, the head coach of the Dutch national team just called Gao Shen to learn about Robben's game and training situation at Manchester United. Gao Shen had this idea at the time, and now after getting Robben's consent, he immediately called Van Marl.
Vic called and explained the pros and cons.
Van Marwijk is also an experienced head coach. More importantly, these two games in September are really irrelevant. Whether or not Robben is like that, it really doesn't matter.
After hearing Gao Shen's words, Van Marwijk said on the spot that Robben could be given a vacation, and he also hoped that Gao Shen could try his best to help Robben get back to his best condition and return to the top.
Robben at his peak is really important to the Dutch national team.
After hanging up the phone from Van Marwijk, Gao Shen smiled and shook his phone at Robben.
"The national team has taken care of it. Today I will help you arrange air tickets and hotels. I will have someone contact you then. Just play with confidence and relax completely. Don't have any burdens. Do you understand?" Gao Shen
Encouragement.
Robben showed a slightly stiff smile, but still nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, boss."
There was a hint of gratitude in the Dutchman's tone.
This was the first time he saw a head coach spending his own money to send players on vacation during the league, and that lasted for two weeks.
But I don’t know why, but after hearing that he could take a holiday, Robben felt much more relaxed.
…
Watching Robben leave, Gao Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He really hopes that Robben can take a good vacation, completely relax his mind and body, and when he comes back, he can travel lightly and show his best condition.
This decision was not made on a whim, but after consulting various suggestions from psychologists and members of the coaching staff, he finally decided to make it. I hope it can achieve the results he expected.
After the fourth round, the first stage of the Premier League has also ended.
Next, there will be two weeks of national team games. Many international players such as Robinho, Suarez and others will leave Manchester today or tomorrow to report to the national team.
This is bound to be a worrying two weeks for Gao Shen, because he is really worried about the training and competition of some national teams, especially some of the national team doctors, who are really unreliable.
But at the same time, the two-week layoff also allowed Gao Shen to temporarily take a breath and take time to sort out the internal affairs of the team, especially players like Henderson, Adam Lallana, Sturridge and Garfield.
Substitute players such as Rhys Bell need to be further refined.
Before, he had no time, but now that he is free, he also hopes to help them integrate into the team as soon as possible, and at the same time, play a greater role in the team's technical and tactical system.
But what Gao Shen didn't know was that as the transfer market was about to close, a heavyweight transfer was quietly advancing.
