"Family constitution" achievement generation from Wang family

In China, family businesses tend to have "the rich but three generations", and in the Chinese Hongkong, a company called "Lee Kum Kee" family business is in charge of the fourth generation successor of thriving. In 1888, Li Jinshang began a career in Guangdong Province of South Xiang seasoning. By second, the three generation of master Li Zhaonan, Li Wenda continued to carve, 120 years later, American in seasoning products Lee Kum Kee's marketing to the world more than 80 countries and regions, the consumption, occupies 80% of market share, in Japan, the seasoning products market share ranked first. The Lee family, formed a set of family unique core values, namely "Sili and". For this set of values, one of the fourth generation supremo Li Huisen so on:

   First, empathy, or do anything to stand in the position of the other side to think. For example, Li Huisen frequently, when coming home, he would empathy, standing on the wife's point of view to think, have been waiting for him for a week's wife would like what you do.

   Second, pay attention to each other's feelings. In Li Huisen's eyes, do not speak a word, what to say, how to say, will influence each other's feelings. For example, he found that many of the boss of the company, called the director, it is "where are you?" Or "what are you doing now?" Members of their family, often asked the first words, "I now don't bother to bother you?" Or "do you have time now?" Although this is just a simple courtesy, but Li Huisen think, different way of speaking will affect the feelings of others. One thing seems to be, but they are also very concerned about.

   Third, the helicopter thinking. Each person to consider problems are from their own standpoint, but Lee's family "promotion everyone sit helicopter", for example in the national, ethnic, social position to think.

   In other words, in the Lee family, everyone from the point of view of family position, rather than considering the personal point of view, nature can reduce the generation of internal conflicts, the family will be very harmonious.

   "The core value and Sili" concept is not only suitable for family and company, processing used in commercial affairs, but also have a good effect. For example, the last century 80's, there was a Malaysia factory infringement Lee Kum Kee products, panda logo logo and the consumption of Lee Kum Kee's products are very similar.

   After a long time of appeal, Lee Kum Kee won the case, not only the tort factories, together with the 18 store their products have to compensate for Lee Kum kee. At this time, Lee Kum Kee does not require the supermarket will be money, but consider the problem from the perspective of the other party, suggested they sell Lee Kum Kee genuine products, will claim as Lee Kum Kee products market promotion expenses. So let the supermarket on the Lee Kum Kee is very grateful, results of Lee Kum Kee products quickly in the open market, sales increased.

   If the core value of "thinking and" view is the guiding ideology of words, so "family committee" system is the organizational guarantee.

   The Lee family also had "separation" of history, and in order not to recommit the same error, 2003, Lee Kum Kee founded a family internal communication platform: "family council". The committee consists of a family office, a family investment company, fund family, family center.

   At present, the core members of the Committee have 7 people: President Li Wenda and Mrs. Lee Kum Kee Group, and their five children: the eldest son of Li Huimin, second son Li Huixiong, three son Li Huizhong, four son Li Huisen, daughter Mo Li Meiyu. In the eyes of Li Wenda, "part of the company's family, we focus on how the continuation of family, family interests." "No family harmony, long-term development of family business is impossible.

   Family council meetings every 3 months, every time the meeting lasted 4 days. Every meeting, they don't talk about business, and the main research family constitution, family values and the contents of third, fourth and fifth generation.

   In the family meeting, each member of the family to open, exchange, use and this is also the "Sili and" in the family members of the. At the same time, the family conference in family tourism way held. Therefore, a chance to see each other thinking method which is a member of the family, also can let the fifth generation know the family's mission, familiar with the family business, in cohesion to influence character by environment effects on the fifth generation.

   Due to family members, each person's character is different, therefore, held a family meeting to play based on a unified view of personal strengths. "Every family Committee have put all the problems out and talk, in the face of these problems directly. Such as the goal, we should have a consensus, uniform diameter." Li Huisen.

   To be fair, every time the meeting will be chaired by a member of the family committee take turns, and the purpose of this design is to bring everyone together.

   In addition to exchange views, in the family meeting, each member of the family also listed his "cool" index, including whether happy, pressure index, health index. Scores from 1 to 10 after the finish, we would ask her, for example, why the "cool" index decreased? Through the test and greeting each other, the relationship between family members will further.

   "Cool index" is not only the Lee family internal promotion relations, enhance communication tool, but also by their internal management applied to the company's. Now, in the Lee Kum Kee internal meeting, Li Huisen will also ask employees to "feel happy?" "1, to 10 points, your cool index is a bit?" They not only to understand the staff's working state, even the "cool index" as an important indicator, uses in the enterprise managers at all levels in the evaluation. Li Huisen believes, pleasant staff is closely related to his work environment and work condition, and if an employee's "cool" index drops suddenly, must be what aspects of the job problems, the corresponding management should be paid attention to.

Hongkong century old Lee Kum Kee only so falling intact, making due to a "family" of the constitution. There are three special provisions for the successors, including "don't marry later, not divorce, not having an affair". Especially after the two members of the family, is the necessary condition of participation in politics, and once a member violates the two, will automatically withdraw from the board of directors. 

   Really have guild regulations, family law. I can not help but think of a great man once said, "the system is the deciding factor" "system more fundamental, overall, stable and long-lasting". To a person, family education started in the cradle, stop at the grave, is the basis and prerequisite for growth and success. "Lee Kum Kee" just so "from Ying Xian", tutor system work for hundreds of years down the accumulation of No.
