In this case, why do many people have the illusion that human resources and finance are the real bosses of the company?
Analysis, there are probably two reasons:
First, I only saw the surface of the problem.
As an ordinary employee, our most intuitive feeling is that all matters closely related to employees' personal interests, whether it is promotion and salary increase at the initial stage of employment or after employment, the accounting and payment of wages, including the payment of all benefits, are handled by personnel of the human resources department, especially the person in charge of the human resources department, and can only be realized after he signs and agrees;
The financial department is similar, and all reimbursement, borrowing and money-related issues also need to be reviewed by financial personnel and signed by the financial boss.
Therefore, judging these two departments has great power. In fact, these are just their job responsibilities, and the real decision makers behind them are mostly employees' immediate supervisors, department heads or company bosses.
Secondly, influenced by the special situation of our own company, I think other companies are the same.
Undeniably, in some small private enterprises, bosses are accustomed to the family-run operation in the company, and arrange their relatives to work in sensitive positions such as finance and human resources.
Many times, people in such positions are also partners or shareholders of the company, and they are half bosses of the company, so they naturally have great power. But his authority is not given by the position of human resources or finance, but by his status as a partner and shareholder. Without this fact, it will not be established in another enterprise that realizes more modern management methods.
In fact, from the premise and goal of the company's existence, it is unreasonable that the human resources department and the financial department have the greatest power:
Because when a company's ability to make money is not strong, it will eventually go bankrupt in the long run. The skin doesn't exist, how can the hair be attached?
A company can only develop better and better if it puts the department that can make money for the company in the most important position. Just like Huawei, it has always been advocated that people who can hear gunshots should call for gunshots.
