This pie is not real(畫餅充飢)
In the Three Kingdoms era in China.
The king of the Wei Kingdom sent any
minister to be responsible for the selection, assessment, appointment and
removal of officials throughout the kingdom.
The minister's name is (Lu Yu).
Before he officially took office,
The king said to him.
Your position is very important, and I
fully authorize it to you. It is up to you to decide which person you want to
hold in that position.
But I only remind you of one thing, that
is, when you are looking for suitable talents, don't just look for those famous
people.
Fame is like a pie drawn on the ground with
a stick. This pie is not real.
(Lu Yu) answered.
You are right, king, but I have other
opinions.
Although a person’s fame does not necessarily
match his abilities,
But fame is still an important basis for
finding talent.
A person's fame may be because he is really
talented, so he is respected by everyone.
I suggest this should be done.
We should hire these famous people to serve
our kingdom.
At the same time, we must establish a
performance appraisal system in our bureaucracy.
When these people enter the bureaucracy, we
can use this clear performance appraisal system to assess whether everyone is
really talented.
We should let the system manage these
talents instead of using personal emotions to manage these talents.
The king answered.
Your suggestion is very good, just do as
you say.
You should complete this fair and
enforceable performance appraisal system as soon as possible.
This idiom is used to remind us that we
must take practical actions if we want to really solve the problem.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
If you are a leader, how do you make your
subordinates have the same work goals as you? After you establish a system,
will you consider that the system also needs assessment?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
畫餅充飢(This pie is not real)
這個餅並不是真的
在中國的三國時代。
魏王國的國王派任一位大臣負責全王國官吏的選拔、考核和任免。
這位大臣的名字叫做(盧毓)。
在他正式上任之前，
國王對他說。
你這個職位很重要，我充分的授權給你，你想要在那個職位安排那個人任職，完全由你決定。
但我只提醒你一件事情，那就是你在尋找合適的人才時，千萬不要只找那一些有名望的人。
名望就像是在我拿一根棍子在地上畫的一個餅，這個餅並不是真的。
盧毓回答。
國王您說得對，但是我有其他的看法。
雖然一個人的名望與他的能力不一定相符，
但是名望卻仍然是一個找尋人才的重要依據。
一個人有名氣也有可能是因為他真的很有才能，所以被大家推崇。
我建議應該這樣做。
我們應該聘請這些有名望的人為我們王國服務。
同時我們要建立我們官僚體系中的考績制度。
當這些人進到官僚體系之後，我們就能用這一套明確的考績制度去評估每個人是否真的有才能。
我們應該讓用制度去管理這些人才，而不是用個人的情感去管理這些人才。
國王回答。
你的建議非常的好，就照你說的去做。
你盡快去完成這一套公平並且可以執行的考績制度。
這句成語被用來提醒我們，想要真正的解決問題就必須採取實際的行動。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你如果是領導者，你如何讓部下與你有相同的工作目標呢?你建立一個制度之後，是否會考慮到這個制度也需要考核呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
