The Dilemma of Business Owners: I can't seem to lead the company anymore. The key to developing an enterprise's human resource management system lies in transferring the pressure of "human resource management" to (: managers at all levels). Moving from the past where the owner bore all the responsibility to (:all managers taking responsibility, making each level of manager a "responsible entity" for human resource management, taking responsibility for guiding, constraining, helping, and motivating subordinates. The owner must break free from this misconception; otherwise, the pressure of human resource management will never be alleviated. Therefore, the true challenge faced by local enterprises and owners is how to equip (:all managers) with the "willingness and ability to take responsibility."

There is no better choice for a company than to pay attention to the thoughts coming from practitioners, to focus on the experiences summarized and refined through personal practice and dedication. Whether a manager can develop the skills of human resource management in the aspects of "selecting, using, nurturing, and retaining," requires going through a long and arduous "metamorphosis" process. During this process, the indirect experiences of others, and their objectively and authentically recorded "vivid stories," are indispensable.
The author explores the problems in human resource management of Chinese local enterprises from the practical perspective of an HR Director and proposes effective solutions. This book aims to highlight a dynamic management approach, showcasing the entire process of implementing human resource management in local Chinese enterprises, presenting the local, proactive, vibrant, creative, and artistic aspects of human resource management practices in local Chinese enterprises, with the hope of providing some reference and insights for the standardization and development of local Chinese enterprises, and advancing the process of standardized management.
Currently, most local enterprises are facing a strategic transformation from extensive management to refined management, from non-standardized management to standardized management. Whether a company can successfully transform depends largely on the construction and operation of its human resource foundation management. This book focuses on the dilemmas of business owners during the transformation period and traces the root causes of these dilemmas, identifying common problems in human resource management among local Chinese enterprises. Through this process, it gradually clarifies the (:thinking) for resolving these dilemmas, ultimately enabling companies to systematically and strategically solve human resource management problems as a whole, while refining the dilemmas of business owners into challenges faced by other middle and senior management personnel such as HR Directors/Managers, thereby forming a core strength to comprehensively implement effective human resource management—"selecting, using, nurturing, and retaining people"—ultimately resolving the dilemmas of business owners.
This book uses numerous cases to illustrate successful practices of local enterprises in human resource management, carrying out experience and education in the form of "Key Focus" and "Friendly Tips," thereby systematically and artistically solving human resource management problems in local enterprises.
