Hearing that the solution given by Shan was similar to Man's, Qiao Yu nodded and decided to adopt their opinions.
Usually, the father and daughter talked more about the management of the tribe than anyone else. He had been in the same position as Qiao Yu, so he could especially understand Qiao Yu's current mood.
"Were you very angry after hearing this, so you wanted to withdraw them immediately?" he asked.
Qiao Yu nodded: "Yes."
"No. They followed you here from the Valley Tribe and have worked very hard. Even if they don't do well in some areas, you should discipline them. But you can't remove the team leader's position for a small mistake. They will be very dissatisfied. If they hold a grudge, you will encounter resistance in your future efforts."
Qiao Yu accepted the advice: "Yes, I understand. But I still plan to assess the team leader and other people in other positions."
She explained the time and method of the assessment and humbly asked Shan, "Father, do you think this is appropriate?"
Shan thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
He also understood and adapted to the units of time measured by Qiao Yu, such as "year" and "month," and now uses them frequently.
On the way back from the planting and breeding area, Qiao Yu thought a lot and improved his plan.
She said, "Actually, this six-month assessment method isn't particularly effective. If a team leader performs well for the first five months, but something happens in the last month that causes the team members' impression of him to plummet, then he's definitely not going to pass the assessment."
"Another captain performed very poorly for the first five months. In the final month, he resorted to various tactics, including coercion and bribery, to try to pass the assessment. This shows that conducting assessments every six months is very biased and prone to errors."
Shan nodded, agreeing with her: "So what do you want to do?"
"I want to conduct monthly assessments and then give a comprehensive evaluation based on each month's performance. Furthermore, the team leader's decision to stay or leave can't be solely determined by the team members. The leadership's evaluation of the team leader and the degree of mission completion must also be considered."
"Some team leaders are very good to their teammates and are very good at winning them over. They are highly rated by their teammates. But they don't obey assignments. I asked them to build a house, but they took the team hunting instead. I can't keep such a person as a team leader anymore."
"That's right." Shan had a deep understanding of this and strongly agreed with Qiao Yu's approach.
As a subordinate, if they don't even obey the leader's orders, no matter how much support they have from the people below them, such a person is not worth keeping. As leaders, they don't need the team leader to be very capable, the most important thing is to obey orders.
"If he listens to his leader's orders and treats his teammates well, but always fails to complete the tasks assigned to him, then he's not a good team leader. So I'm going to develop a comprehensive and complete scoring standard to evaluate team leaders."
Shan's brow furrowed. "You're absolutely right. But if you take all of this into account, it's too complicated, isn't it? Even if you're incredibly smart, you'll still be confused in the end."
"This is why I want everyone to learn to read. Some things can't just be memorized in the head; they have to be written down. Every team leader's score for each item each month should be clearly written on a wooden board or slate, so it's clear at a glance. That way, no one will have any objections."
Shan scratched his head.
"Okay. Whatever you think is the best way, then we'll do it," he said. Then he asked, "But if their scores are low, do you really want to fire them? What if they make a fuss about it? Have you thought about it?"
Qiao Yu nodded. "I've thought about it. Those who don't perform well will definitely be dismissed. And it's not that those who do well won't be dismissed, but someone must be dismissed. I plan to implement a last-place elimination system to motivate everyone. Those who are dismissed at first will definitely not be able to adapt. But if the team leaders are replaced every year, and someone is dismissed every year, they will get used to it over time."
The mountains are silent.
Can you get used to this?
However, if it wasn't just one person being dismissed, but many people, then there wouldn't be anything to be ashamed of. In the end, it was just as my daughter said, you get used to it after being dismissed so many times.
Qiao Yu added, "Actually, thirty people per team is still too many. Especially when going out hunting, a large team is not good; it's inefficient."
"I didn't separate them at first because we were new to this place and worried about the possibility of large wild animals nearby. It would be safer for thirty people to act together. Now that we have a basic understanding of the situation nearby, it's time to adjust the personnel."
When Shan heard this, his eyes lit up.
The reduction in the number of personnel in each team meant an increase in the number of team leaders. Although an assessment system was introduced, the increase in the number of team leaders increased the probability of becoming a team leader, and everyone was less opposed to the series of measures proposed by Qiao Yu.
Moreover, it also solved the problem that all the team leaders were members of the original valley tribe.
"That's good, that's good." he said repeatedly.
"Then go talk to Lu and Shi. I'll investigate Zuo's situation thoroughly in a couple of days, then call another meeting and tell everyone about these decisions."
Shan asked, "What about Ming?"
"I'll go talk to him." Qiao Yu said.
After the Shanyin tribe merged with her, she left for the larger tribe in the north. She hadn't had time to talk to Ming since returning yesterday. The conflicts between the tribes hadn't surfaced yet, and she planned to wait until she'd finished handling all the tribal issues and taught everyone to read before talking to Ming. Then she'd point out a direction for Ming's efforts.
But now that the conflict has arisen, she feels that she can't delay it any longer and must have a good talk with Ming immediately.
Shan nodded and said, "We really should have a good talk."
During the time Qiao Yu was away from home, he had been guarding the tribe for his daughter and had not neglected Ming. He was aware of Ming's situation.
But these are the only things the tribe needs to do, and Ming has never done any specific work before. Unless Shan gives him the job of managing the warehouse, he really doesn't know how to arrange him.
But the warehouse was filled with the tribe's supplies, and only the chief had the right to distribute them. His daughter trusted him and let him manage it, so no matter what, he couldn't hand over the warehouse to anyone else in the tribe.
So Ming's matter came to a halt.
And honestly, Shan, as a hardworking leader, had always been at the forefront of the tribe's charge, never enjoying the fruits of his labor. He'd done more than anyone else in the tribe. He couldn't stand Ming, who simply sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
He had left Ming out for a month, hoping to teach him a lesson, to calm his temper, and to see the situation clearly. Since their family wasn't starving to death, and Ming was still sitting at home, Shan hadn't taken any action.
