Basketball games emphasize teamwork. In this kind of game, there is a common sense that everyone knows, that is, "a great pitcher is not as good as the full cooperation of a team."

Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls in the NBA. His extraordinary athletic talent made him stand out. Every time he played, the teams facing the Bulls secretly prayed that they were not Pray that this talented player of the Bulls will not perform abnormally, but pray that Jordan can score more points personally. Experience time and time again shows that as long as Jordan's personal score can reach more than 50 points, the possibility of the Bulls' failure will be greatly increased, and his own team will be more confident of winning.

This is not an absurd theory, but a rule that has been proven time and time again. A team's victory in a game cannot be achieved by just one player. Over-expression of personal abilities will virtually weaken the power of cooperation and cause serious consequences of failure.

This principle is equally valid in business operations. It is important to have one or two technical experts and business talents in an enterprise, but compared with this, the full cooperation of all employees of the enterprise is more important.

Taiwan's Mandu Hair and Beauty Company is a large chain company with more than 300 branches, a total of more than 30,000 employees, and more than 4 million customers served every year. The person in charge of the company is the legendary figure Lai Xiaoyi, known as the "Father of Mandu". He is a typical figure who succeeds in starting a business from scratch.

Lai Xiaoyi’s education is not high, he only graduated from elementary school, but he does not lack the spirit of hard work and enterprising. When he was still a teenager, he entered a small beauty salon and worked as an apprentice for several years. Due to his hard work, Lai Xiaoyi became the main beautician in that beauty salon when he was 20 years old, and his monthly income was also good.

However, Lai Xiaoyi is not willing to work under others forever. He wants to open his own beauty salon. While Lai Xiaoyi continued to work in the original beauty salon to gain experience, he also worked diligently and frugally to save the funds needed to open his own shop. Four years later, Lai Xiaoyi founded "Shanghai Mandu Women's Beauty Salon" and finally had her own beauty salon.

Because of my good craftsmanship, business was very good after the beauty salon opened, and the customers who came to visit often formed a queue.

Lai Xiaoyi wanted to make the beauty shop develop faster through his own efforts. To this end, he worked hard. Once, he served more than 80 customers in one day. During the peak season, he often worked all night long without even having time to rest. As for the employees in the beauty shop, Lai Xiaoyi couldn't afford to think too much about them.

However, Lai Xiaoyi's beauty salon did not develop rapidly. It only made a little more money every day, but it did not expand as Lai Xiaoyi expected.

Finally, Lai Xiaoyi fell ill due to excessive fatigue. After a doctor's diagnosis, Lai Xiaoyi had caused inflammation of the facial cruciate nerve due to excessive fatigue. If he did not pay attention to rest, half of his face was likely to be paralyzed for life. Moreover, he soon learned that as he fell ill, the business of the beauty salon quickly declined, and the profits could only cover daily expenses. Employees often have nothing to do and even pass the time by playing mahjong together.

Lai Xiaoyi had to stay in bed. He didn't understand why he worked so hard to run the beauty salon, but the beauty salon declined rapidly after he fell ill. He thought hard about this matter.

One day, Lai Xiaoyi was lying on the hospital bed watching TV, and a basketball game was being broadcast live. He discovered a strange phenomenon. One team in the game had a great pitcher with a high hit rate. However, at the end of each quarter, the team with the higher score was always the other team without the great pitcher. At the end of the game, the score difference between the two teams was more than 20 points.

Looking at this huge score gap, Lai Xiaoyi suddenly felt like that magic pitcher. On the team field, a magic pitcher's hitting rate alone cannot win; and the management of a beauty salon Likewise, "Lai Xiaoyi" alone cannot win. A football game requires the efforts of every member of the team, and the operation of a beauty salon cannot thrive just by relying on a technical master.

He decided to change his previous business ideas and turn Mandu into a sincerely cooperative team with many "Lai Xiaoyi".

After recovering from the disease, Lai Xiaoyi began to focus on cultivating technical experts, passing on his skills to the employees of the beauty salon, and asking everyone to discuss their experiences together frequently. He also consciously cultivates employees' sense of teamwork, establishes a corporate culture that is generally recognized by everyone, and increases cohesion.

Because of the correct direction and good business strategy, "Mandu Women's Beauty Salon" soon established many chain stores and became famous.

A chopstick can be easily broken in one's hand, but if it is a pair of chopsticks, it is difficult to break them even with 10 times the force. It is difficult for a tree to withstand strong winds, but if it is a forest, even strong winds above level 10 are often helpless. This is the power of unity.

A successful team should not only develop technology and seek capital investment, but also pay attention to the cooperation of every member of the team. This is an invisible force, but it is this invisible force that often determines whether a team will succeed or fail.

In the wolf pack, there is no "I, me, me" that humans love to say, only "us, us, us". When every employee in an enterprise thinks of "us" first when thinking about problems and facing difficulties, then the team will be invincible.
