This time he hesitated: "Isn't it too fast? How about talking to them first and giving them a chance to correct their mistakes?"
Qiao Yu could also understand Man's hesitation.
For the past six months, she'd been frequently out and about, and even when she was in the tribe, she was in charge of the overall direction. Man handled all the details through the team leaders. He had frequent contact with them and had developed a close relationship with them. Furthermore, because Man was the highest authority besides her, they privately curried favor with him. Of course, Man probably didn't have the guts to accept bribes, but he certainly tried to curry favor with them. For all these reasons, Man naturally wanted to protect them.
Qiao Yu was very patient with Man, the person she wanted to focus on training. She didn't want him to go astray.
She said, "Man, I understand your perspective. These team leaders, even if they haven't made any contributions, have certainly worked hard. Without their support, we wouldn't be able to manage the tribe so well, right?"
Man nodded. "Yes, that's what I mean. They've been working hard, too. Forget about anything else. Just last night, we had a meeting so late. I asked them to pass on the decision from the meeting, but they went from house to house and didn't get home until very late. Now they've only made minor mistakes, and I'm dismissing them. I don't think it's a good idea. It'll discourage them."
"Besides, the people of the Stone Tribe were originally captives. We originally agreed to see how they performed within two years. Now, two years haven't even passed, and they haven't even officially become members of the Dragon Tribe. How can we withdraw our people and let them become team leaders? How can the original team leaders still face the world?"
As he spoke, he began to feel sorry for the team leader who was about to be removed. "Didn't you see how hard Hui and Heiye's lives were after being removed from their positions as elders? They felt so ashamed that they stayed at home for half a month, refusing to go out. The people who usually fawned over them not only didn't come to comfort them, but instead spoke ill of them behind their backs. Their children and grandchildren were also bullied. If Mingtian hadn't gone to counsel them during this period, I'm afraid neither of them would have survived."
He raised his head and looked at Qiao Yu earnestly: "Those team leaders may have treated their men badly, but they haven't done anything wrong, right? It's really unfair to make them be laughed at and embarrassed like Hui and Heiye."
Qiao Yu frowned. "I'm not familiar with the situation you're talking about. Does being dismissed have such serious consequences?"
In the modern world, promotions and dismissals are extremely common. Even if there's a bit of embarrassment and frustration, it's not serious; you just need to adapt. So, she didn't think about what life would be like for these team leaders after being dismissed.
While these team leaders' poor performance was due to their own faults, it was also her responsibility as the leader. She had failed to provide adequate training, nor had she stayed within the tribe to supervise and guide them. These ordinary, uninformed primitive people were suddenly promoted to power, unsure of how to lead. The flattery led to their arrogance and led them astray. This was normal.
Although they made mistakes, they did not make unforgivable mistakes.
Leadership selection is essential. The tribe cannot continue in this state. We cannot allow leaders to feel that once promoted, they are leaders for life, with no choice but to move up. The principle of promoting the capable and demoting the incompetent is unchangeable.
However, the method of dismissal can be made more gentle so as not to discourage these subordinates.
"That's right." Seeing that Qiao Yu was listening, he perked up and continued to persuade, "Why don't I wait until tomorrow to take a look. If I see any areas where they haven't done well, I'll talk to them privately and give them some advice. If they correct their mistakes, you can re-evaluate them. That way, they'll all pass and avoid being dismissed and embarrassed."
"As for the Stone Tribe, didn't you give Dian and Qiang the task of leading the construction of the city wall? Is that enough? The Shanyin Tribe has Ming, and they have been in the tribe for too short a time. Promoting their people to replace ours will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of the Valley Tribe."
Qiao Yu nodded. "You have a point. It's undeniable that the team leaders have indeed made great efforts during this period. Fine, then. I will give this matter some more thought and discuss it with the elders before making a decision. However, before a decision is made, please do not tell the team leaders about this matter or remind them. If the news leaks out, you will be held responsible."
"Yeah, okay." Man said, "Don't worry, I won't tell."
Seeing his sincerity, Qiao Yu said, "Then you stay here and watch them dig the canal. I'll go to the farm and take a look."
"good."
The two separated and Qiao Yu went to the farm.
Walking on the way to the farm, looking at the tribe he had built, Qiao Yu's mood was not as relaxed as it was some time ago when he was sleeping in the open air.
Before the apocalypse, she was a wealthy second-generation who traveled extensively. While she wasn't someone who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, she also took some serious learning. However, she had never properly managed a company.
After the end of the world, she gradually became the boss of the base because of her powerful superpowers, but she only fought zombies. Although she was also in charge of the management of the base, she only played a sitting role.
After arriving here, she thought that with her modern mind and the little experience she had watching her father and brother manage a company, she would have no problem managing a tribe. Moreover, she had a strong military force, and if anyone disobeyed, she could just use force to suppress them. It was a simple matter.
But now it seems that her previous thoughts were too naive.
She sighed.
Seeing that the farm was approaching, she put aside all distracting thoughts, walked over and began to check the situation of the farm.
Originally, only a few houses had been built in this area, providing rest and shelter for the farm staff. She also provided the team with ideas for zoning the various livestock types. As for the subsequent division of areas and personnel allocation, Qiao Yu had never been involved; it was all handled through discussions among Man, Liushui, Mang, and others.
When she walked over, she found some problems.
"Yu, you're here?" Someone was feeding goats. When he saw Qiao Yu coming, he hurried over to say hello.
"Aren't these goats kept in a pen like this and not let out to graze?" asked Qiao Yu.
"Let them out to graze?" The man was surprised. "If we let them out, won't they run away and we'll never be able to catch them again?"
"If we don't let them out of the tribe, we can just enclose a piece of land here," said Qiao Yu.
Don't people today herd goats all over the mountains? Why not here? Is it because goats haven't been domesticated yet, or is it because people don't have the concept?
