Joe Ga captured everyone's attention as he spread his hands with a smile and said, "Some errand boy told me you've made a new discovery. Can anyone fill me in on what happened?
I swear, I never expected things to get this out of hand.
I thought it was just a mission to block the Sinaloa Group's money laundering channels, but I never imagined it would turn into this.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was not my intention, it's just that a few young people's sense of justice has been causing trouble. If it's been a hassle for you, well, I'm not going to apologize...
Anyway, they're right over there, just remember to go easy when you beat them up; I haven't gotten around to buying them health insurance yet."
After Joe Ga finished speaking, most people let out a chuckle.
Tony and the others showed comical expressions on their faces, as they too were clueless about what had happened.
So engrossed in their work, they hadn't noticed their own issues, only that every step seemed awkward, every command requiring repeated confirmation and follow-up.
They were thrilled but also exhausted. Their extreme excitement had even prevented them from noticing the resentment of others.
Not to mention that they were unaware that 80% of the people here had far more experience than them.
But for Joe Ga, that didn't matter. The first challenge of becoming a manager is to accept being 'disliked.'
In modern sophisticated warfare, with the support of high technology, 'Zhao Kuo' is, to some extent, indeed more useful than 'Lian Po.'
They were armchair strategists, but they strategized with the support of flat information hierarchies.
To deal with a bunch of drug traffickers really isn't such a big deal...
What Tony and the others need to learn is how to execute their orders more efficiently and learn to trust those working in frontline surveillance who are there to score their KPIs. You have to believe they're as motivated as you are.
Many new managers, upon taking office, meddle in their subordinates' work to a tiresome degree, a practice that wears down everyone involved.
The smartest approach for good managers is to dangle a big, enticing carrot to motivate their subordinates, and then to trust them fully.
The more advanced strategy is to support a 'troublemaker' to divide the subordinates, to prevent them from uniting too much and causing a drop in team competitiveness, meanwhile sharing the brunt of the subordinates' grievances and playing the good guy themselves.
Tony could not manage this, but Joe Ga was a natural.
Because in the eyes of the old-timers, Tony and his team were too annoying. If Joe Ga could just shut them up for half an hour, it would provide some relief to the veterans.
To be honest, managing to offend almost everyone in just two days was somewhat of a feat for Tony and his group. They were indeed an odd bunch—Leader Huang's 'I want, I think' never had such an effect as theirs.
Watching Tony's face, a mix of panic and bewilderment, Joe Ga shook his head with a smile, then clapped his hands forcefully to draw everyone's attention to himself before saying, "Guys, you've got to be patient with a bunch of youngsters.
At least they won't appear at the press conference for commendation and awards, but your records will surely bear a mark of this.
However, to ensure everyone can work smoothly, I'm going to move Tony and his team upstairs to the second floor. So when they issue orders, they'll have to take a few extra steps, which will give them enough time to thoroughly consider whether their orders are necessary.
And what you need to do is execute those orders!
But considering they are rookies, I think we can make a slight modification.
That is, if you think there's a problem with their orders, you can turn 'yes sir' into 'fuck you.'
Then let's see after the outcomes are in just how many times they've been 'fucked'."
As he said this, Joe Ga looked at the crowd still somewhat dubious and raised his hand with a smile, "How about a suite voucher for the Waldorf in New York?
Every time they make a mistake, I'll throw in a voucher for a suite, which you can use to treat your wife, girlfriend, or whoever to a pleasant weekend in New York.
Trust me, the luxury suites at the Waldorf certainly won't disappoint...
Director Cooper and Director Beech can vouch for me. I'm good pals with the Waldorf's butler, and lately, they've had a bit of trouble. I can get enough vouchers at a great price."
The 'big pie' Joe Ga proposed finally got everyone's attention, and the female technician who had spit in Tony's coffee cup raised her hand shouting, "Sir, if we can't act according to our thoughts, then how are we to judge whether we are right?"
Seeing someone actually bring up this matter, Joe Ga was impressed by the practicality of the Americans and, with a smile, said, "You are all professionals. A debriefing after the fact should be a habit that you already have.
Tony and his team might be rookies, but they're professional rookies. In their field of expertise, it's actually easy to differentiate right from wrong.
If you point out their mistakes, then they should rightly present you with a gift in person and say 'thank you.'"
As he spoke, Joe Ga saw Gino sneaking in stealthily. He smiled and beckoned him over, pulling Gino to his side and addressing the crowd with a smile, "To show our sincerity, from now on you can write down whatever you'd like to eat or drink. Our little brother Gino here will make sure to get what you need right into your hands.
