Preface: No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it passes by, and beauty is also a glimpse of the glory. Only by stopping, savoring slowly, and appreciating carefully can you let the eyes in your heart see the scenery. ——Wang Zhiguang
First met Professor Wang Zhiguang. He participated in the in-depth training of outstanding primary school outstanding principals in Jilin Province National Training Program (2022) organized by Northeast Normal University as a principal. The training courses of Dongshi have always been very popular among principals. This course was also arranged scientifically and precisely. The content of the lectures of each tutor was carefully prepared. And I, like the gluttonous snake in the online game, wandering in the knowledge lineup of experts and professors across the country, enjoying a feast of gluttons. Professor Wang’s special lecture was arranged on the morning of September 22, with the theme of “High Performance Team Building and Improving Execution”, and this learning content is exactly what I am looking forward to.
Class teacher Sun Heyang introduced Professor Wang’s identity very comprehensively. What attracted me the most was the title of “Teacher on the Tip of the Tongue”. Sure enough, the lecture began, and the speech was shocking and golden sentences came out frequently. Many real problems in educational management practice have been revealed, and after Professor Wang’s lecture, he suddenly realized it. In the past, I had to take a lot of notes during the class, but this time, I was immersed in this wonderful lecture, reluctant to stop and excerpt, and felt very sorry for worrying about missing an important sentence. This lecture lasted for three hours. Professor Wang always smiled and went out of the process. He analyzed and told the teachings of educational management in detail, which was deeply impressed by it. Professor Wang’s management ideas and strategies provide an effective operating blueprint for front-line principals to manage schools.
1. One role: Be a smart manager
Wisdom is better than intelligence. In my opinion, Professor Wang is the wise man among the principals, who is adding "wisdom" to us. There is a saying in : "The bystanders are clear, and the institution is confused." This is because they are out of the way, the bystanders' hearts are naturally quiet and they can see more clearly; but the institution is different. The more confused the hearts are, the more likely they are to be confused. They can't understand what they can understand. Professor Wang once said that he is a grassroots and understands the truth at the grassroots level, so he likes to tell the truth, take practical measures, and seek practical results. He believes that as a principal, you must be ahead of others in everything, be superior to others, have advantages, think through the problems, find effective solutions, and implement correct strategies, so that you can be a wise manager.
Education is an ideal career, but it needs to be pragmatic. The principal's decision can determine the overall situation, but it is difficult to make a single hand. Only when middle-level cadres cooperate to implement it can achieve great things. Principals must avoid misalignment in their work. If leaders pay too much attention to details, it will easily lead to mediocrity and lose their strategic height. At work, we will face many unsolvable problems, but we must always reach a consensus, that is, be with the team, clarify our role and role, and clearly know what we should do, how we should do, and for whom we should do it. Once you understand things and understand them, you will naturally understand them and do things smoothly. Many times, our work cannot be improved, not because our ideas and policies are not good, but because we are not implemented properly. The key to success is to turn the right ideas into effective methods.
2. One consciousness: relationship is productivity
Professor Wang believes that management is first and foremost relationship. If a school wants to achieve harmony between people, fit between people, unity and cooperation between departments, form a joint force and build relationships is the top priority of school administrators. Good internal relationships in the school, such as teacher-student relationships, cadre-subsist relationships, colleague relationships, student relationships, etc., directly determine the internal ecology of the school.Management is to deal with the relationship between people, people and things, and people and things in work. At any time, you cannot set up a platform here or dismantle it. Instead, you should complement each other in order to achieve good shows. Only when everyone is hello is really good. Consultation, sharing, progress and win-win are the strategic choices for team management in today's era.
3. One understanding: Only by combining learning and thinking can you learn and apply what you learn
Professor Wang tells us that the distance of life is not about talent, but about belief. A successful team will never lack a positive and enterprising attitude! The principal should advocate taking learning as a political responsibility, a spiritual pursuit, a ideological realm, and a normal life, strive to learn without slackness, combine learning and thinking, and apply what you have learned. We should use learning to increase confidence and accumulate talent. School cadres should influence teachers' thoughts, transform their mentality, and improve everyone's professional skills. At the same time, they should take the initiative to think about problems, study problems, improve problems, solve problems, learn, think and practice while they are learning, thinking, and practicing, solidly advance practical work, condense and produce results, and encourage teachers to become famous and married. Leading cadres must be self-disciplined, start from themselves, and develop the habit of reading independently and updating their ideas, because management does not only rely on power, but also drives others to make progress and growth together by showing their own knowledge. After a lecture on
, my school management ideas became clear, and many of the "difficult and complicated diseases" that were depressed in my mind were also solved. I know very well that Professor Wang’s management “trick” comes from years of learning, research and practical exploration at the grassroots level, and the way to manage schools is also a thousand faces. Every principal needs to respond calmly and calmly in accordance with the school situation, and make good use of wisdom and strategies to solve the problems on the way forward. In Professor Wang's mind, the most important quality of an excellent leader is sincerity, foresight, competence, and inspiration. Education is related to the development of the country and the future of the nation, and it is not enough to be taken slowly. Leading cadres should always be active managers, provide teachers, students and staff with a steady stream of enthusiasm and motivation, and lead a team to move forward vigorously. I think this is also the growth posture that all managers in the new era should have!
