“Your experiences are similar to a half glass of water, which is neither empty nor full. If you want to become a member of our company, you must be complete and clean to throw away all your experience as the water drained from a cup. Then know and understand our company with the Empty Cup attitude. The only way you can progress and adapt quickly to the job.” the words is often said to many new employees by many companies in China.
I found, all companies who say the words require their employees to have the strong executive power, and the employees who listen the words are generally the lower-level staffs on the level of implementation. The kind of words is benefit to the company for new employees to “Brainwashing”, the company wants new employees “No Me”, and the company think the employees on the level of execution should not have individuality, so the company request the new staffs “No Excuse”, the first is “to execute”, the second is “to execute”, and the three also is “to execute”.
At the same time the words make many people lost their creativities, because they are completely “Empty Cup” and “No Me”, and the things they need to do is not innovation but implement, the innovation is the leader’s things. When the innovation disappear from the lower and it become the senior leaderes’ patent, what will be the future of the company?( From 空杯和个性 by Bill Han)
