There is an article on the Internet recommending "The Pentium Era" as one of the best inspirational films in history, so I read it, but I didn't expect to be immediately infected by it. I watched the complete film with excitement, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. The elements of the American dream and American spirit reflected in this film, such as struggle, overcoming difficulties, success in small people, and fear of competition, are undoubtedly moving and inspiring, but at the same time Martin Zhang believes that this film is actually more like a business management and Interpretation of the concept of human resource management.

First of all, this is a classic case of discovering talents. Before becoming a first-class racehorse, sea biscuits only knew that they were sleeping, lazy, rebellious, mad and irritable. No one was optimistic about it and was dealt with at a low price. The horse trainer Smith was a maverick "weird living in the woods"; Bo Ladd is an unruly and unruly person who dreams of becoming a first-class jockey, but always fails. The entrepreneur Howard discovered and activated the horse trainer, and the horse trainer discovered the horse and the jockey. So these obscure horses and people have their potential to reach the pinnacle of success.

This is a classic case of teamwork. Horses, jockeys, friends of jockeys (backups), horse trainers, entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurial wives each exert their strengths in the organization and work together to succeed. This team cannot succeed without any one person. Just like the monologue at the end, team members' mutual support is the key to success.

You know, everybody thinks we found this broken-down horse and fix him, but we did not. He fixed us. Every one of us, and I guess, in a way, we kind of fixed each other, too.

In this In the inspirational film, Zhang Martin believes that the most commendable person is undoubtedly the entrepreneur Howard. As an individual, he is shrewd, persuasive, and good at discovering business opportunities, and through struggle to become a rich man. As an entrepreneur, he has demonstrated his leadership and corporate management capabilities. He not only has vision, loves career, is courageous, pursues excellence, is good at motivating, and challenges authority, but he also possesses abilities that other leaders do not possess.

It was him, who did not follow the old rules, discovered and activated the "weird in the woods", and formed a team to achieve success. Without him, the weirdo still lives in the woods, the jockey is still depressed, and the racehorse may have been shot. He is the key to all this success, he saved these "mediocrities".

He fully respects and values ​​talents. After seeing the horse trainer, he stooped to visit the woods at night and picked up a dirty cup to drink coffee to win the trust of the weirdo. He also loves the jockey like a son. It is worth mentioning that his love for talents is not too utilitarian. He wants them to win, but when failure comes, he still accepts and trusts and respects them as usual.

Moreover, he is full of tolerance, trust and love for his employees. He doesn't care how much the jockey eats; he lends money to the staff without asking for the purpose; when he learns that the jockey is actually blind in one eye, he did not abandon him; his staff failed, he smiled and was tolerant; He still gave the opportunity even when his staff resumed playing on the court after being injured. With such a leader, can any grateful employee be stingy with himself?

In addition, he has a strong sense of social responsibility and mission. He firmly believes that horse racing can uplift the spirits of Americans in trouble, and inspire the people in his speeches "And you either park up and you go home, or you keep fighting.", and he wants to make "everyone has a chance to watch race". This is the difference between entrepreneurs and businessmen.

There are often Chollima but not Bole. There are many successful businessmen and not many successful entrepreneurs. Howard is not only a good leader, but also a mentor and leader who guides the direction. Such a character is the dream of a long-term enterprise and the best welfare for employees.

It is worth mentioning that Howard’s second wife, who brought Howard out of the pain of bereavement and divorce, encouraged his career and loved his career and employees like him, began this legend. This makes us believe that Howard's love for employees, career, and the country is inspired by her. In this sense, mutual friendship is the foundation of this legend. In a loving environment, everyone will realize their potential; in a loving environment, people do not have to deliberately pursue success, success comes naturally.
