We have freedom and benefit from the legal constraint. Microsoft gives each employee full freedom, in fact, they fully allow employees to arrange their schedule. It sounds beautiful, is it?
A freedom comes from strict system
Manage a group of software designers, like grazing a group of proud cats, if there is a lack of effective constraints, inevitably, the cat ran a light, the company completed. We see Microsoft quite liberalization, personalized talent management, however, it should be seen that Microsoft is a whole CMM2, local CMM3 company. Imagine that a company has no complete and strict management system, how can I reach CMM2? It is important to know that companies above China CMM2 is definitely a phoenix.
Before the start of each fiscal Scrub, Microsoft's managers will convene their hands and summarize their gains and gains in the past and jointly develop the goals that should be achieved in the next stage. The next year, the employee will take this goal as its own task. If the employee's goal is achieved, then the reward will be rich. If you can't do it, punishment is also strict, and it is even possible to lose in Microsoft.
Develop a plan, reward and punish, this is the true face of Microsoft's management. Microsoft employees can freely arrange time, because they have more stringent constraints: annual goals.
Two excellent talents are eager to recognize
What is the outstanding talent? money? woman? reputation? wrong. They are eager to recognize. Talented talents always hopes to be accepted by the same outstanding talents, this is the greatest recognition of them. The tradition of Microsoft has adhered to the use of talents to attract talents.
Bill Gates said: My employee will dissatisfaction, but he will not be willing to exchange work with employees of other companies. Tang Jun's experience tells us that every employee has a chance to come into contact with a higher level in Microsoft. Since 1975, Microsoft has maintained a high elimination rate (more than 85%), but some people working more than 5 years will choose to continue to stay in Microsoft, which constitutes a smallstock of Microsoft's stable developer group. In Microsoft, the competition exists everywhere, you will find that everyone around the surroundings is extremely excellent, and it will become a sincere pride, eventually transforming into advanced power. In such an environment, employees are like the players of the European League, and they are proud, they don't dare to slack off, and they are full of passion.
In fact, Microsoft's salary is not high, but the challenging environment, high goals complete the reward, are great attracted to talents. By 1992, there were nearly 3,000 employees with nearly 3,000 employees in Microsoft to redeem the stock. By the way, this million refers to the dollar.
Three excellent systems always go to the overall situation
Software development should be modular and strive to resolve problems in a small range. However, for the management of talents, not this. Once an initiative is implemented, the influence is inevitable and far-reaching. It can be said that every local change will involve global. The formulation of the system must be the overall situation, and the best solution is selected according to the specific situation.
Here I want to compare the management of India and Japanese software industry. India and Japan are standard divisor software, encoding is encoding, and never contact the upper layer. For programmers, their management is almost militaryization, the purpose is to write code on time, as for personalities, all do not pay attention.
Many people say to learn Japan, learn India, another sound-effective method MSF (Microsoft Development Management System). Yes, they are all advanced, but this is India, Japan's software company, and Microsoft has undergone the system. Chinese programmers emphasize individuality, but lack of high-tech and creativity of the US programmer, so which sets will be failed. Here I don't try to discuss what kind of system is the most suitable Chinese, but I think that Microsoft's today is the closest to our tomorrow. For Chinese, Microsoft emphasizes personality, increases the method of individual freedom, is certainly more popular. Conclusion: Microsoft's "complete free schedule" is actually a means of descending, after the back of this system, there is a complete management system support, and it can even be said that the Microsoft Management System is "calling" complete free time system ! This means is very suitable for Chinese programmer groups that are characterized by individuality. Of course, it is necessary to learn from India, Japan's industrialized software management.
