For a company, it should be "management is ruthless but people are affectionate", but you are both person and emotion, and your management is also full of emotion. A company like this will definitely have problems.

Scene Replay:
Shi Yuzhu: Have you served as director of corporate planning before?
Xue Feng: Yes.
Shi Yuzhu: Do you have any successful cases?
Xue Feng: At that time, the position of director of corporate planning was more about the management of the company.
Shi Yuzhu: How does a director of corporate planning conduct management?
Xue Feng: That was just a nominal position. In reality, I was the assistant to the president.
Shi Yuzhu: What do you think are your personality strengths and weaknesses?
Xue Feng: Let me start with my strengths. I am a focused and strong-willed person, someone who can't be easily beaten down. My biggest weakness is sometimes being too soft, especially when it comes to managing the company. In the past, I thought that was humanized management. Back then, I treated the company like home. Now, looking back, there were indeed many problems. Humanized management doesn't mean treating employees like family members and not managing them.
Shi Yuzhu's Comment:
Looking at your profile, you've worked in many enterprises in the past, always as the top leader and main person in charge, but all the companies eventually had issues, and this happened quite a few times. Therefore, you yourself should take some time to reflect on your own weaknesses. You must have shortcomings, but specifically what they are, I don't know, because today we can't go into much detail, and it's up to you to analyze them. Self-reflection is a painful process, but it's necessary for your future career, and it's fully necessary. I hope you go through such a process sooner. If it doesn't work, you can bring your team together and hold a criticism meeting for you. I'll give you one more suggestion. Based on the details you mentioned earlier, I feel that your management style towards the company is overly emotional, which is a big taboo. For a company, it should be "management is ruthless but people are affectionate." But you are both person and emotion, and your management is also full of emotion. A company like this will definitely encounter problems.
