The wisdom of "being cautious"
Yuanfang industry (Shanghai) / Zhang Peng
"Caution" is not only the spirit of the group, but also our core values. An accurate understanding of the profound connotation of "caution" is of great significance to the development of the company's broad and profound corporate culture, learning from the experience and wisdom of our predecessors, and creating new breakthroughs in operation in the global economic downturn.
The original meaning of "Shen" is to be careful, which is closely related to "Cheng". The annotation of Shuowen Jiezi says: "there is no one who can be sincere, so the word is true. "Far Eastern Group" juxtaposes "sincerity" and "prudence" as its core values, reflecting the founder's profound traditional cultural heritage and profound business wisdom.
As we all know, the development of enterprises requires bold innovation. Therefore, in our enterprise spirit, the value of "innovation" is particularly emphasized. But at first glance, "caution" and "innovation" contradict each other. How can we properly handle the relationship between them in actual implementation? As a matter of fact, Confucius has long given the answer, that is, "fear in the face of things, and be resourceful.".
In the Analects of Confucius, Zilu asked Confucius, "if you have the opportunity to command the three armed forces, who would you like to work with? Confucius replied, "I will not work with a man who fights with a tiger with his bare hands and wades across the river on foot and will not regret his death. I'm looking for someone who is careful, good at planning and can accomplish the task. "I will not be with you if you die without regret. He will also be afraid in the face of things, and he who is good at planning will be successful. It can be seen that people who achieve great things must be careful and good at planning. This is the great wisdom of caution.
In the operation of the company, the wisdom of "caution" is reflected in crisis thinking, which is also the key factor for the company to bravely cross the rapids and dangerous shoals again and again. The connotation of "caution" has two aspects. One is "temporary fear". This fear is not fear, but awe in the face of business, and can make a comprehensive prediction of crisis factors with a mind like treading on thin ice. The other is "resourcefulness". On the premise of fully evaluating risk factors, we can make overall planning and deployment. In other words, fear is the premise of strategy, and strategy is the purpose of fear The organic combination of "caution" is the value of "caution". No matter looking back on the history of the group's difficult pioneering work or summing up the current brilliant achievements, you will find that the predecessors are strategists with awe for the cause. Their fear is not timid or cowardly, but a sense of crisis, a cautious attitude and a prudent spirit. Their courage and strategy is based on the premise of "fear" and "plan", which is reflected in careful assessment in advance, careful planning in the process, and reflection and summary after the event.
The development and growth of an enterprise needs the spirit of "caution". How can an individual not? As a member of the company, when we are faced with the tasks arranged by the organization, we should also uphold the attitude of "fearing in the face of the situation" and make a full prediction of the possible risks in all aspects of our work. We must never "die without regret" as Confucius said. Only when the risk assessment has been fully completed and a solution to the problem has been worked out, can it be achieved with good strategy. Especially in the post epidemic era when the global economic situation is in a downturn and various risks are increasing, it is more necessary to put the spirit of "caution" into everyone's work.
