Chapter 222: Plan to Train a Successor
Examining the younger generation of the family
The atmosphere in the family business's meeting room was serious and solemn. Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan sat at the head of the meeting table, with a thick stack of information in front of them, which contained detailed information about the younger generation of the family. The large screen in the meeting room displayed the development history and future plans of the family business, which made the whole atmosphere seem more serious and critical.
"Jian'an, who do you think is a good person to start investigating?" Lin Yanan asked softly, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and anticipation.
Ruan Jianan pondered for a moment, picked up a document and said, "Let's start with my nephew Ruan Ming. He has been working in a grassroots position in the company for a while and his performance is pretty good. He is also calm, serious about his work, and has a certain sense of responsibility."
Lin Yanan nodded in agreement, "Well, Ruan Ming is indeed a good candidate. Let's focus on him first."
So, they arranged a series of tasks and projects to observe Ruan Ming's ability and potential. The first task was to be responsible for the planning and execution of a small project. After receiving the task, Ruan Ming was full of energy and immediately devoted himself to the work. He spent a lot of time and energy on market research, making detailed plans, and actively organizing team members to discuss and divide the work. However, some problems were also exposed in the process, such as indecision in decision-making and lack of teamwork. In the process of project advancement, when encountering some problems that require quick decision-making, Ruan Ming always weighed the pros and cons repeatedly and was slow to make a decision, which affected the progress of the project to a certain extent. Moreover, when there were differences of opinion among team members, he failed to effectively coordinate and integrate the opinions of all parties, which caused some contradictions within the team.
Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan carefully recorded his performance and also gave appropriate guidance and suggestions. During the mid-term evaluation of the project, Ruan Jianan found Ruan Ming and said, "Xiao Ming, I think you are a little too cautious when making decisions. Sometimes, you need to be more decisive and seize the key moments." Ruan Ming nodded humbly and said, "Uncle, I understand. I will work hard to improve."
Lin Yanan also communicated with Ruan Ming, "Ruan Ming, teamwork is very important. We must learn to listen to everyone's voice and give full play to everyone's advantages." Ruan Ming said gratefully: "Aunt, I understand, I will pay attention."
In addition to Ruan Ming, they also conducted similar investigations on other young members, including niece Ruan Ting, nephew Lin Hao, etc. Ruan Ting is a lively and cheerful girl, creative and imaginative, but sometimes too impulsive and aggressive. When she was in charge of a new product promotion plan, she came up with many novel ideas, but in the implementation process, she did not fully consider the actual situation and cost issues, which led to many difficulties in the implementation of the plan.
My nephew Lin Hao is a hard-working young man, but he lacks innovation and leadership. When leading a team to complete a task, he just follows the routine and fails to inspire the enthusiasm and creativity of team members.
Every young person has his or her own strengths and weaknesses, which made Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan think deeply. They realized that training successors is not a simple matter and requires targeted training and guidance based on the characteristics of each person.
"Jian'an, these children all have potential, but they also have areas that need improvement. We have to think carefully about how to help them grow." Lin Yanan said to Ruan Jian'an during a dinner.
Ruan Jianan nodded, "Yes, this is not an easy task. But as long as we work hard, I believe they will gradually grow up."
Develop training programs
After a period of investigation, Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan had a deeper understanding of the younger generation in the family, and decided to develop a personalized training plan based on the characteristics and potential of each person.
On a quiet night, the couple sat in the study room with soft lights. The desk was piled with various materials and notes, and they discussed and recorded.
"Yanan, I think Ruan Ming needs more leadership training so that he can make decisions decisively. We can enroll him in some professional leadership courses, or let him study with experienced executives for a period of time," said Ruan Jianan.
Lin Yanan flipped through the notes in his hand and responded, "That's right. Ruan Ting is talented in marketing. We can provide her with more relevant learning and practice opportunities. For example, let her participate in some large-scale marketing projects, or send her to attend some industry seminars."
"What about Lin Hao? He is more down-to-earth, but lacks innovative spirit." Ruan Jianan frowned and thought.
Lin Yanan thought for a moment and said, "We can assign him some tasks that require innovative thinking, and encourage him to get in touch with more new concepts and technologies to stimulate his creativity."
They had a lively discussion, from the improvement of professional skills to the cultivation of comprehensive qualities, from the accumulation of practical experience to the handling of interpersonal relationships. Every detail was carefully considered.
"We must also focus on their moral education and let them understand that as successors to a family business, they must not only have ability, but also good morals and a sense of social responsibility," Ruan Jianan emphasized.
"Yes, we can organize some charity activities regularly, let them participate in them, and cultivate their love and sense of responsibility," Lin Yanan added.
After several hours of discussion, a detailed training plan was finally produced, which included regular training courses, mentor guidance, practical project training, learning and exchange opportunities at home and abroad, and so on.
In addition to attending leadership courses, Ruan Ming was assigned an experienced executive as a mentor for regular one-on-one guidance. He was also asked to take charge of decision-making for some important projects, which helped him improve his decision-making ability in practice.
Ruan Ting was assigned to participate in the company's core marketing projects and work with a professional marketing team. At the same time, she was provided with opportunities to study online and attend industry seminars, allowing her to continuously update her knowledge and concepts.
Lin Hao was assigned to a department that needed innovative solutions, working with a group of innovative colleagues. He was encouraged to put forward his own ideas and suggestions, and was given ample room to develop.
In addition, in order to cultivate their teamwork spirit and communication ability, team building activities and communication skills training are organized regularly.
Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan expect that these young people can gradually grow into the backbone of the family business under their training and continue the glory of the enterprise. They know that this is not only for the future of the family business, but also for these young people to realize their own value and make greater contributions to society.
