Xu Rongmao, Chairman of Shanghai Shimao Group, "The 'Company Ship' should become the essential reading for all managers. This light and easy-to-read booklet contains the management principles that every manager must know, and these principles are exactly what we need to build high-performing teams."
Ren Yunliang, Chairman of Dalian Huafeng Group, "If you are an employee in a company and want to develop together with your company, you must remember this fable—the story of becoming an 'excellent crew member.'"
Liu Chenggong, General Manager of Qiqihar Jianhua Industrial Co., Ltd., "My career experiences and insights tell me that the 'Company Ship' concept and methods are correct. If I had read this book earlier in my career, I believe I would have made fewer mistakes."
Pei Haoran, Researcher at the Central Research Institute of Qingdao Haier Group, "A company is like a ship. When you join a company, you become a crew member on that ship. Whether the ship returns full or runs aground depends on whether you work in harmony with all the crew members. The five key functions of this book:
1. Enhance employees' sense of mission. Help employees understand their roles in the team, recognize the mission they bear for the company's development, take excellent crew members as role models, and continuously grow.
2. Improve managers' competence. The 'Navigational Logs' and discussion sections reveal the essence of employee management, which are also key knowledge points that every manager must master. They help managers innovate their management thinking and improve their management level.
3. Establish a positive interactive relationship between managers and employees. Managers are also part of the company. Only by recognizing their relationship with the company and employees and adopting a humanistic management approach can they communicate more effectively with employees.
4. Enhance team cohesion. Build a 'journeying together' corporate culture, where employees help each other and managers and employees progress together, laying the foundation for the company's long-term healthy and stable development.
5. Strengthen the company's core competitiveness. Everyone strives for innovation, adding momentum to the company and helping it stand out in the competition. Dealing with dangers is no longer just the responsibility of managers; employees' energy becomes a sufficient driving force for the company's development."
