After the overthrow of the Qin dynasty, there was no serious consideration about how to govern the world, and there was no long-term goal. But self-styled overlord, packet princes, not enterprising. Later, it was destroyed by Liu Bang and eventually failed.

2. Cao Cao and Emperor Wen of Sui

When Cao Cao Ping was in Hanzhong, he was even defeated. I want to join the army, but I'm afraid Ma Chao won't stay. I want to retreat, but I am afraid that the Shu soldiers will laugh at me and hesitate. It happened that Cao Cao entered the chicken soup. He saw the chicken ribs in the bowl and thought nothing. At this time, someone entered the account and asked for a password at night. Cao Cao casually replied: "Chicken ribs!" When Yang Xiu saw that the order was conveyed, he told the accompanying sergeant to pack his bags and prepare for his return trip. The soldiers asked why they learned that Wang Wei was going back to the division. Yang Xiu said: "From tonight's password, we know that Wang Wei's heart of withdrawing troops has been decided.

Chicken ribs are tasteless, but it's a pity to discard them. If you can't win today, it's no use quitting. Might as well go back early. Wang Wei has dispatched troops these days, and has already prepared his luggage to avoid leaving in a hurry. "Cao Cao has long hated Yang Xiucai. Now seeing Xiu and guessing his heart, he angered to disturb the morale and killed Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu died at the age of 34.

3. Yuan Shikai

However, Li, the second president of Beiyang government, wanted to unify the south (at that time, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and the southern provinces were independent) with the north under the banner of the Republic of China. However, the goal of reunification was not clear, that is to say, the interests of all parties were not well planned, and Duan and Zhang Xun finally shot him. If he has a clear goal, of course, he will consider many aspects, because he is not clear, his thinking is chaotic, his decision-making is wrong and he loses miserably.

4. Joule

The British physicist Joule invented the perpetual motion machine after several sleepless nights. After ten years, he didn't succeed. Because "perpetual motion machine" cannot exist at all, this assumption itself violates the law of conservation of mass in physics, so it is meaningless for the purpose of inventing perpetual motion machine alone. Perpetual machine refers to an engine that violates the basic laws of thermodynamics and cannot be realized. There is no machine in the world that can do work forever without consuming energy.

5. Zhigao Pu

For example, the "Zhigao Pu" of Hongyan. It turns out that he is an important leader of our party. Under the torture of the enemy, a successful person is one who does not give up the revolutionary ideal and is liberated. Even if he dies, he is a martyr and a successful man. However, he gave up his ideal and defected to the revolution. So, he failed. Became a shameful traitor.

Extended data:

The role of the goal is reflected in the following four aspects:

1. Indicate the direction

The establishment of goals provides managers with the direction of coordinating collective actions and helps to guide the members of the organization to form a unified action. So some people compare this effect of the target to the "Big Dipper".

2. Motivation

The goal is the source of strength to motivate the members of the organization. Only when employees are clear about their action goals can they mobilize their potential efforts and try their best to create the best results. Only when employees achieve their goals will they have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Some scholars have studied the incentive effect of goals on typists, drivers, computer data entry operators, stevedores and some service personnel. The results show that clear work objectives can improve work performance 1 1% ~ 17%.

Step 3: Coagulation

Cohesion is an important factor to make an organization a multi-member consortium, rather than a fragmented organization. When the organizational goals fully reflect the interests of the members of the organization and are in harmony with the personal goals of the members of the organization, the enthusiasm, dedication and creativity of the members of the organization can be greatly stimulated. Of course, organizational goals that conflict with the personal goals of organizational members may weaken the cohesion of the organization. This shows from one side that the formulation of organizational goals is an important part of management.

4. Decision criteria and evaluation basis

The goal is not only the starting point for managers to make decision plans, but also the basis for evaluating the formulation and implementation of management decisions. The organization has set clear goals, so that the thoughts and actions of relevant personnel can be measured objectively, instead of making decisions according to subjective wishes and evaluating according to subjective impressions. The importance of the goal is beyond doubt. Therefore, we must understand some important properties and components of organizational goals, as well as the basic principles and methods of goal setting.
