The operations manager quit after only 8 hours on the job. It’s so hard for this boss to recruit people!

Recently, a cross-border boss said with emotion: " I still think a small and beautiful team is the best, with a few or a dozen people focusing on their own operations and products, which is both happy and profitable . " Why do you like a small team ? Wouldn't it be better for the company to become bigger and stronger? A senior industry insider said: "It's very uncomfortable if the management can't keep up when the company becomes bigger."

This is a strange phenomenon in the cross-border e-commerce circle - large companies are not as good as small companies with a few people, and the efficiency of people is directly reflected in the performance. Many companies have survived the start-up phase, but their performance growth slows down after the team grows . Part of the reason is that the company's management level cannot keep up with the speed of team expansion.

The operations manager left the company less than 8 hours after joining . What went wrong?

March and April are the peak recruitment seasons every year, but this year's industry recruitment has caused sellers to suffer a lot.

A seller said: "Anyone I interviewed this year who is somewhat useful has to pay a high price to be hired. Today I really have the urge to go back and talk to the interviewee who I couldn't reach an agreement with last year." Another seller was also helpless. An operations officer joined the company and left in less than 8 hours, and he didn't know what went wrong.

It is difficult to recruit new people, and the loss of existing staff is also happening at the same time. Some operations staff are poached or change jobs after completing their studies to receive higher salaries; others become competitors of the company after leaving . One operations staff revealed: "My colleague has gone solo and has already rented an office. If nothing unexpected happens, I will also go solo this year."

As the helmsman of a company, the boss is the biggest ceiling of the enterprise

As industry practitioners are getting younger, some sellers summarized the job factors they care about:

Working atmosphere (must be relaxed)

Salary (the higher the better, no empty promises)

Direct supervisor (easy to get along with)

Can I improve myself (will there be room for appreciation after improvement)

If the boss still maintains the original management level when the team expands rapidly, the company will not function properly.

The educational backgrounds of the founders and CEOs of the leading companies in the industry are often amazing. Anker Innovations CEO Yang Meng holds a bachelor's degree in computer science from Peking University and a master's degree in computer science from UT-Austin; Lens Technology founder Yang Fan holds a doctorate in communications and information systems from Jilin University. To a certain extent, the level of the boss determines the level of the company.

The School of Overseas Education of Shanghai Jiao Tong University assessed the situation and spent several months to go deep into the Shenzhen seller group and visited more than 100 sellers on the spot . It designed the "interesting, informative and valuable" "China CEO Global Business·Cross-border E-commerce Training Course" project for cross-border sellers.

This program provides high-end courses to address a series of challenges faced by cross-border e-commerce companies in the areas of corporate governance, business management and leadership during their rapid development. The courses bring together a top teaching team and focus on practical results.

(Proposed teachers for the course project)

Learning format: The course lasts two years, with 2-3 days of offline classes every two months , and mobile classrooms. The opening ceremony will be held in Shanghai on April 17, and classes will be held in Shenzhen at the same time. The application deadline is the 11th of this month.

Enrollment targets: founders, chairmen, and CEOs of large and medium-sized cross-border e-commerce companies ; cross-border e-commerce investors; CEOs of cross-border e-commerce service providers; and CEOs of other industries who are interested in cross-border e-commerce.

Certificate issuance: Students who have completed all courses and passed the assessment will be awarded a Shanghai Jiao Tong University Certificate of Completion and a Shanghai Jiao Tong University Overseas Education College Certificate.

Resource expansion: The students are composed of 70% cross-border e-commerce sellers with a billion-level business and 30% industry ecosystem (service providers, capital providers, factories, and those interested in cross-border e-commerce). Not only can they gain knowledge, but they can also empower each other, link the necessary resources, and share business opportunities, contacts, and Jiaotong University alumni resources.

This project will also facilitate the connection of capital for the students' enterprises, arrange sharing and exchange activities, visits to benchmark enterprises, forums for famous experts, Gobi Challenge and other activities every month, and bring together billion-level sellers and industry elites to prosper together or to gather together for warmth.
