Chapter 234: Re-adjustment of the budding organizational structure, rotating president system!
Finished eating at noon.
Zhang Shuo and his party did not leave the Outward Bound Training Center. Firstly, there was a welcome party in the evening, and secondly, taking advantage of the fact that all the senior executives were there, there was also a senior management meeting of the Germination Group held tomorrow.
Take advantage of this rare opportunity.
Led by Chen Xiaowan, Director of the President's Office, a senior executive team-building activity was organized between meetings, so the scene in the afternoon looked like this——
Gu Mingzhang took Zhao Xiaohu to play chess, Jiang Yue and Chen Xiaowan took the little follower Dai Yutong to go to the spa for beauty treatment, and Du Ruiwen, Wang Yan and Cao Yanhua swam in the swimming pool.
As for Zhang Shuo.
He took Lu Kai, Zhao Mingchuan, and Wu Sheyuan to play cards, while Pei Weiping watched the game.
The scene is very harmonious.
The entire afternoon was in a very relaxed and lazy state, and they tried not to talk about work as much as possible. Even if they did, they would only talk about some industry gossip.
Executives are human beings too, and they also need to relax completely and cannot be tense all day long.
At night.
Chen Xiaowan also organized a beer and barbecue buffet dinner, which was very pleasant.
………
The next morning.
In the conference room of the Outward Bound Training Center, Zhang Shuo held a senior management meeting.
"Mr. Zhang, what is the theme of today's meeting?" Jiang Yue asked.
Not only Jiang Yue, but before the meeting, all the executives present were unclear about the purpose of Zhang Shuo calling everyone together and choosing such a special place.
I was only notified of a meeting.
"Today, we are holding a retreat meeting. We will not talk about specific work, but will just briefly review the future development plan of Germination Group from a macro-strategic perspective," Zhang Shuo said.
"Then, how about a retreat?"
Jiang Yue somewhat understood why team building should be done first. I bet it was courtesy first and then attack.
"I'll start by throwing some bricks and mortar."
Zhang Shuo followed the topic and continued, "Everyone knows that the group only has two shareholders, Dream Fund and me, and I am essentially the only one who makes decisions, so there has never been a board of directors."
The advantage of not having a board of directors is that no one restrains Zhang Shuo.
The disadvantage is that.
All decisions are made by Zhang Shuo alone, lacking a scientific and reasonable collective decision-making mechanism.
Because the board of directors is not only the board of directors, but also has many professional committees, the common ones are the audit committee, the strategy and investment committee, the nomination committee and the remuneration and assessment committee.
These professional committees are of great benefit to improving the corporate governance structure.
The Germinal Group is missing this link.
Without the establishment of a board of directors, other institutions can only be established to replace it.
"My opinion is that without establishing a board of directors, a group development and strategy committee should be established as a permanent decision-making and deliberative body responsible for studying the group's mid- to long-term development strategies and major project investment decisions, and making recommendations."
Zhang Shuo threw out his thoughts.
Yesterday, on the way to the Outward Bound Training Center, he joked that he would leave his sprout and go to Binhai University to study for graduate school. Although it was a joke, it actually had another deeper meaning -
Just thinking about the governance structure of Sprout Group.
As the scale of the sprout grows, even though Zhang Shuo has worked very hard, almost never skipping work, and has foresight, he is still getting tired by relying on his own strength to support the progress of the sprout.
Someone needs to take some of the pressure off of him.
The Development and Strategy Committee, in a sense, is equivalent to a staff organization such as the Military Aircraft Department in ancient times, providing advice and support for Zhang Shuo's decision-making.
Of course, it is also a disguised constraint.
Prior to this, Germination Group would also hold similar executive meetings, but they were not fixed and did not form a system. Both the meeting time and the participants were highly random.
Now.
Zhang Shuo wants to institutionalize and normalize this matter.
"I personally serve as the director of the Development and Strategy Committee, and the members include the president, vice president, and heads of first-level subsidiaries of the group. When necessary, external consultants can be invited."
Zhang Shuo did not mention specific names, but designated them based on their positions.
Thus.
Even Wu Sheyuan, the Human Resources Director of the Germination Group, and Zhao Mingchuan, the Operations Director, will not be able to join the Development and Exposure Committee, which shows how high the standards are.
As for Lu Kai and Gu Mingzhang, they are both group vice presidents and heads of first-level subsidiaries.
Only one vote counts.
Another example is Du Qingqing, although he is the vice president of Qingcheng Group and general manager of Qingcheng Technology, because Qingcheng Technology has been demoted to a second-tier subsidiary, he cannot enter the Development and Strategy Committee.
It's very strict.
"In principle, the Development and Strategy Committee holds a fixed meeting every month, and I or the president of Germination Group preside over the meeting. The president's office is responsible for meeting organization and other related work. If there is an emergency, an ad hoc meeting can also be called for." Zhang Shuo.
Replenish.
It can be seen that it was not a temporary idea on his part.
The idea of establishing a strategic committee has actually been in his planning for a long time.
Regarding this.
Naturally, everyone has no objections.
Especially for general managers of first-tier subsidiaries like Cao Yanhua, Du Ruiwen, and Zhao Xiaohu who do not concurrently serve as vice presidents of the group, joining the development and strategy committee is actually an improvement in status.
before this.
They are only responsible for their respective tasks. Regarding matters of other subsidiaries, including the overall development strategy of the Sprout Group, it is inconvenient for Zhang Shuo to express opinions unless Zhang Shuo takes the initiative to ask.
In many cases, the President's Office will not inform them.
Now that we have the platform of the Development and Strategy Committee, we can participate in all major strategic decisions of the Sprout Group openly and legitimately.
Even if you don’t have the right to make decisions, you still have the right to make suggestions.
Of course.
The Development and Strategy Committee itself will also be a coordination and discussion platform, providing an excellent communication platform for the heads of each subsidiary to avoid unnecessary internal friction as much as possible.
Even if we have differences, we can talk them out clearly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Another thing, about the president of Germination Group, there should be a conclusion."
Obviously.
Zhang Shuo was not prepared to delay this matter any longer because it could no longer be delayed.
No matter how big the sprout group is, it doesn't have a chairman. It doesn't even have a president in name. It relies entirely on Zhang Shuo to support its appearance. It's really unreasonable.
It's too shabby.
Those who don't know the inside story may think that the Germination Group is a grassroots team and it is inevitable that they will make a joke.
and.
With Zhang Shuo going to graduate school in the second half of the year, there will be an even greater need for someone to step up and take charge of the work.
"brush!"
As soon as Zhang Shuo finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yue.
this moment.
Jiang Yue's heartbeat even beat half a beat faster.
Similarly, the corners of Lu Kai's eyes twitched, and then they calmed down again, at least there was nothing visible on his face.
"My idea is to learn from Warwick's approach and establish a rotating president system. What do you think?" Zhang Shuo gave an unexpected answer.
"call!"
Somehow, Jiang Yue, who was the center of attention, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead to speak out: "I support the establishment of a rotating president system."
Jiang Yue, the person involved, has expressed his position, and naturally the others have no objections.
Lu Kai even secretly clenched his fists.
"Then it's settled."
The reason why Zhang Shuo did this was not only to learn from Warwick's mature practices, but also out of helplessness.
Although he likes Jiang Yue, facts have proved that, at least at this stage, Jiang Yue cannot fully win the position of group president in terms of qualifications and ability.
Pushing it up by force may not be a good thing.
However, it would be inappropriate to choose Lu Kai over Jiang Yue. Firstly, Lu Kai's performance may not be able to convince the public, and secondly, the overseas business department still needs Lu Kai to be in charge.
Not suitable either.
Therefore, when the president was having difficulty giving birth, Zhang Shuo could only adopt a compromise strategy, hoping to use the rotating president system to gain experience for senior executives.
ultimate purpose.
Anyone selected by Jiang Yue and others can be qualified for the position of president.
Then Zhang Shuo was really relaxed.
"So, who is qualified to serve as rotating president? Can all members of the Development and Strategy Committee be qualified?" Zhang Shuo then asked another question.
"I think we can still be both democratic and centralized."
"At this stage, senior vice president Jiang Yue, vice president Lu Kai, and vice president Gu Mingzhang take turns serving as president of Sprout Group. After that, changes will be made based on the situation."
Zhang Shuo immediately made the final decision.
If every member of the Development and Strategy Committee can participate in rotation, it can certainly provide senior management experience, but it will also appear to be a bit of a joke and even disrupt the normal operation of the group.
The reality is.
People like Du Ruiwen and Cao Yanhua do not have the ability to run the Germination Group for the time being.
Not to mention Zhu Zhenghong.
In fact, Zhu Zhenghong was excluded from this executive meeting from the beginning. Sprout Real Estate was more like a functional department under Sprout Group rather than a true first-level subsidiary.
Because it does not create profits.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue, Lu Kai, and Gu Mingzhang are all of good rank. One is good at administration, one is good at investment, and one is good at business management. They are all top players.
They are all very representative.
The three of them themselves are also strong contenders for the position of group president.
The establishment of the rotating president system actually eliminated the competition and differences among the three people, or in other words, gave the three people a platform to fully demonstrate their abilities and levels.
Because the rotating president has a time limit, each person serves for half a year.
Thus.
Who does well and who doesn't do well during the rotation is a matter of public opinion.
Of course.
Zhang Shuo's decision will definitely make ambitious executives like Cao Yanhua feel a little disappointed, but there is no way, this is already the optimal solution at present.
Pei Weiping hasn't even cried out yet.
After all, Qingcheng Group is the first group company to be renamed and reorganized among the first-level subsidiaries of the Sprout Group, and Pei Weiping has not even gotten a position as vice president of the Sprout Group.
Just wait!
Zhang Shuo also made it very clear that this is just the current configuration and can be adjusted in the future.
