怎樣當好班組長讀後感(一)
班組是企業的細胞。企業的所有生產活動都在班組中進行,所以班組工作的好壞直接關係著企業發展的成敗,只有班組充滿了勃勃生機,企業才會有旺盛的活力,才能在激烈的市場競爭中長久地立於不敗之地。
班組長是上級與一線生產員工的主要溝通橋樑,起著承上啟下、上請下達的作用。同時,班組長也最接近職工、瞭解職工,能夠及時發現職工存在或帶有苗頭性的問題。因此,班組長的管理好壞,對於全面提升企業的管理水準,促進各項工作的健康快速發展具有重大的意義。
作為班組長首先做好班組工作計畫,確立好具體可行的工作目標。在執行計畫中應注意各崗位各任務之間的協調。做計畫要有餘地,堅持可持續化發展的原則。作為班長必須組織好生產,在工作中應注意崗位之間的“介面”處理,防治管理零空缺,明確好責任和分工,並且要注意突出協作精神。充分地運用激勵因素和保健因素理論。作為管理者要學會賞識我們的下級,要讓員工有一種自我價值體現的意識,讓他們有成就感,精神鼓勵會讓他們承認自身的價值。
在班組管理當中作為班組長,應充分運用手中的獎懲大權,監督好制度的執行。制度執行的原則:1.先嚴後寬,作為強化理論和養成教育。2.對事不對人的爐火效應,一視同仁規章制度大於總裁,凡事要出於公心,堅持原則,秉公辦事,不信口開河,不隨心所欲,不以個人感情用事,更不得以公為由泄私憤、圖報復;處事不偏袒、不偏護,不營私舞弊,不謀取私利。對班組成員的“功與過”、“是與非”要做到胸中有數,當獎則獎,該罰則罰,不為親情、友情所左右,也不對同一類事而處罰不一等等。處理日常事務、矛盾,要以規章、制度、法律為依據,公開、公平、公正、合法、合理地去解決,也決不能把矛盾和困難向上推,要勇於挑起擔子,儘量減少上一級領導的壓力
真誠創造成功。成功的管理者也是團隊型管理的人才具有對工作、對員工都關心的優良品質。我曾經不止百遍的自問:“如何帶好一個團隊”、“如何充當好團隊核心人物”,帶著這兩個問題過了幾許春秋,時至今日,自己所帶領的團隊與理想狀態還是存在著很大差距,這是為什麼?幸運的是有了此次參加培訓的機會,於是兩個問題都有了詮釋。
通過對班組管理的學習,不斷清晰了自己的思路,充分認識到在日常工作中自己在充當一個班組這樣一支團隊的核心人物的不足之處,雖然有分工協作,但還是過於強調個人英雄主義,也許是工作中安全壓力大,事事親力而為,過多的分散了自己的精力,
思想認識有多高,
班組是企業最基層的一級組織。是企業組織結構的基石和生產流程不可缺少的環節。是提高企業經濟效益的起跑點,是增強企業活力的源頭,是推動企業技術進步的重要力量,是企業精神文明建設的前沿陣地,是實行精細化管理的一個層次,它是有最廣泛、最經常、最直接的群眾基礎。企業管理是永恆的主題,是包羅萬象的系統工作,班組是企業最終的執行者和操作者,是企業管理中關鍵環節之一,作為一名班組長,必須做到政治上強,作風上硬、工作上實、技術上精、管理上嚴,這樣才能有效地做好班組工作。
作為班組長要不斷加強學習,而且把所學的知識及時運用到實踐中去,不斷加大工作力度。首先要抓安全。安全是工作的命脈。只有安全才能保證生產的順利開張。堅持班前會、班中查安全、班後總結安全,從而有力地保證安全。。班組長要認真貫徹執行企業的各項規章制度,督促全班人員熟練掌握操作規程,在嚴格要求別人的同時,正人先正己,對工作一絲不苟,精益求精,能做到十分絕對不做九分。作為一名班組長,必須要團結同志,關心同志,辦事要公道,要敢於管理,善於管理,既不得因情費法,也不能因法廢人。只有實行制度化管理和人性化管理相結合的方法,才能在加大工作力度的同時見到實效,否則,將會事倍功半,徒勞無功。困難面前不灰心,不懂就問,不會就學,堅持在幹中學、學中幹,不斷充實自己,完善自己,提高自己的工作能力,特別要在做好人的工作和協調各方面的關係上下功夫,做文章,見成效。
繼續發揚幹一行,愛一行的工作作風,以高度的責任感、使命感和工作熱情,積極負責地開展工作。俗話說“火車跑的快,全靠車頭帶”。在生產時,經常在車間、現場進行檢查,發現問題及時處理,提高工作效率。設備出現故障時,我並極時搶修,無論是清理現場衛生還是在機器保養,我都身先士卒,積極參加,與員工同甘共苦。
樹立安全生產責任意識。把安全放在心裡,把過去嘴上講安全變成現在心中有安全。形成安全工作天天講,人人做的良好局面。切實做好班中巡迴檢查工作,對生產設備的運轉情況,對生產設備各系統進行巡迴檢查,以便及時發現異常情況,採取措施消除隱患,排除故障,防止事故的發生。嚴格執行交接班制度,要求交接班人員必須面對面將生產、安全、衛生等情況交接清楚,做到不清楚就不交接班,防止因交接班不清楚而危機生產安全。
一個班組在成長的過程中會遇到各種各樣的問題和困難,無論是班組長還是每個員工都不能保證其100%的正確性,所以,只有在工作的過程中不斷修正自己的錯誤,分析錯誤的原因,提出整改措施和防範措施,改進工作方法才能促使整個班組朝著完美的目標前進。
怎樣當好班組長讀後感(二)
最近一段時間,單位組織學習了李學章、崔生祥老師合著的《怎樣當好班組長》一書,使我從整個企業發展的高度充分認識到了當好班組長的重要性。班組是一切組織工作的基本作業單元,企業的一切工作,都需要通過班組穿針引線。班組與企業的關係,就如同地基與大廈、大海和航船:沒有班組作扎實的基礎,企業的大廈將無法立足;有了班組厚實的浮力,企業之舟才能揚帆遠航。而做為“兵頭將尾”的班組長,則是企業從事生產活動一線的指揮者、組織者和戰鬥核心,當好班組組長事關整個企業的發展。
在沒有當班組長之前,自以為靠著自己嫺熟的技能,帶好小小的班組是輕而易舉的事。()但真正走上這個崗位,每天忙前忙後,然而班組管理並不像我所設想的那樣如“旭日東昇”,這時我才才切身感受到班組管理並不因為其小而簡單。在我一籌莫展之際,手頭的這本《怎樣當好班組長》一書就像洞悉一切的智者,將我腦海中的問題一一解答。
通過對這本書的學習,對如何才能做一個合格、稱職的班組長有了新的認識,班組長一職並不是靠個人的力量就能勝任的,還需要調動起班組集體的主觀能動性,團結協作;要合理地組織人力、物力,充分利用各方面資訊,使班組產生“1+1>2”的效果;既要有協調好本班組的成員能力,又要有協調好與本崗位工作內容相關的其它班組溝通能力,才能保證品質、如期完成上級下達的任務,這是一門管理科學。
俗話說:火車跑的快,全靠車頭帶。在班組成員眼中,班組長就是車間班組的火車頭。一個優秀的班組長,應該以身則,嚴以律己,時時刻刻,事事處處做出表率,在日常生產、學習和生活中,要求班組成員做到的,班組長必須自己首先做到,這樣才能贏得班組成員的尊重和信任,才能做到說話有人聽,做事有人跟。
怎樣當好班組長雖然是個老話題,但又是個常提常新的話題。李學章、崔生祥老師這本著作案例新鮮生動,內容豐富,論述精闢,貼切班組長工作特點,為如何更好的做好班組長提供了理論依據,為提高班組長的管理水準指明了方向,讀來有耳目一新的感覺,讓人受益匪淺。

文/任倩瑩
我讀過無數本書,最讓我印象深刻的還是三年級的增廣賢文。
那本書最讓我喜歡的地方在於它是一本教你怎樣做人的書,它的教誨讓我們受用一生,它的方法叫人們驚奇,它是一本道理深刻、方法奇妙的書!
我很喜歡那裡的名句,其中特別喜歡的是這一句話了,它就是:一言既出,駟馬難追。它的意思是:說話要算數,一句話說了出去,就要實現你許下的諾言,不能反悔,我就有過這樣一件事情:我的數學成績比較差,測驗卷髮下來時我總是垂頭喪氣、唉聲歎氣,因為成績不理想,現在已經到80多分的成績了,我下定決心下一次一定要拿到100分,於是,我開始了調查。我首先把錯的題目看一遍,發現基本都是計算不行,其餘的都是應用題不會,我改了我會的題目,又仔細看了一次不會的題。放學後,我問媽媽我不會的題,然後一步步分析。最後,我總結了經驗。到了下一次測驗時,我認真檢查了所有題目,找出錯誤並改正,交了卷。果然,我拿了100分!實現了我給自己許下的諾言。在生活中,我們有時也會說話不算數,而且根本不提它,小學生還會把它推到別人身上,所以,你能做到的事情才去做,不能做的就別勉強去做了,更不要亂許諾啦!
增廣賢文是我最喜歡的書了,我希望你們能在這本書上獲得比我更豐富的知識哦!

觀今宜鑒古,無古不成今……每當同學們讀增廣賢文的聲音傳入我的耳朵時,我就佩服古人們的聰慧,也佩服他們的勇於實踐的精神,這些都是他們的寶貴經驗,都是親身經歷過的。所以我們才會覺得很有道理。
這些都是古人的聖訓,我們要謹記。不要在犯過錯誤後才為自己的行為感到後悔。我體會最深的就只有兩句話就是‘欲求生富貴,須下死工夫’和‘羊有跪乳之恩,鴉有反哺之義’這兩句話第一句話的意思是:你想要生前的富貴就要下很大的功夫。我覺的這句話很對,例如你想要考上大學,就要下很大的功夫,必須比別人下更大的努力你才有可能成功。第二句話的意思是‘羊喝奶的時候還是跪著喝的,烏鴉還有養育它父母的事情。’我們要做一個孝敬父母的人,無論你將來是貧窮還是富有,都要養育你的父母親,不要忘記他們對你的愛,要有感激之心。我一定會把這兩句話記在心裡,並且要做到。
讀了《增廣賢文》使我懂得了很多道理,我讀過很多遍,但仍然百讀不厭、情有獨鍾。
增廣賢文讀後感(三)
暑假裡,我讀了《增廣賢文》這本書。()它是一部經典的蒙學讀物。內容涉及為人處世、待人接物以及嚴謹治學等多個方面。
書中“讀書須用意,一字值千金”這句話的意思是:讀書時必須下苦功夫,才會文辭精妙,一字千金。故事講的是,秦始皇當上國君後,呂不韋做宰相。呂不韋和門客寫了一本《呂氏春秋》的書。因為這本書內容廣泛,為了使這本書寫的更加完善,呂不韋下令說:“誰要能在這本書中增加或減少一個字就可以獲得1000兩黃金的賞賜。”
“兩人一條心,有錢堪買金;一人一條心,無錢堪買針。這就話的意思是說:兩個人如果是一條心,就能夠掙到買黃金的錢;如果每個人都有自己的心眼,那就連買一根針的錢的錢也賺不到。這個故事講的是:有一個國王臨死前,交個他的兒子們一支箭,讓它們折斷,兒子們很輕鬆的就折斷了。接著,又交給他們一把箭。他的兒子們用盡了全力也折不斷。老國王就問他們明白了什麼?兒子們點點頭。國王去世後,他的兒子們團結一心,把國家治理的井井有條。
這本書裡記載的民間諺語、古聖先賢的名言、文化典籍中的佳句。使我明白了艱苦樸素、勤奮努力、誠實守信是我們中華名族的優良傳統。我們要從小繼承和發揚這種優良的傳統,好好學習,為我們中華民族的發展、富強而努力。
洩密的心英文讀後感
Through the first person narrator, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" illustrates how man's imagination is capable of being so vivid that it profoundly affects people's lives. The manifestation of the narrator's imagination unconsciously plants seeds in his mind, and those seeds grow into an unmanageable situation for which there is no room for reason and which culminates in murder. The narrator takes care of an old man with whom the relationship is unclear, although the narrator's comment of "For his gold I had no desire" lends itself to the fact that the old man may be a family member whose death would monetarily benefit the narrator. Moreover, the narrator also intimates a caring relationship when he says, "I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult". The narrator's obsession with the old man's eye culminates in his own undoing as he is engulfed with internal conflict and his own transformation from confidence to guilt.
The fixation on the old man's vulture-like eye forces the narrator to concoct a plan to eliminate the old man. The narrator confesses the sole reason for killing the old man is his eye: "Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees - very gradually - I made up my mind to rid myself of the eye for ever". The narrator begins his tale of betrayal by trying to convince the reader he is not insane, but the reader quickly surmises the narrator indeed is out of control. The fact that the old man's eye is the only motivation to murder proves the narrator is so mentally unstable that he must search for justification to kill. In his mind, he rationalizes murder with his own unreasonable fear of the eye.
The narrator wrestles with conflicting feelings of responsibility to the old man and feelings of ridding his life of the man's "Evil Eye". Although afflicted with overriding fear and derangement, the narrator still acts with quasi-allegiance toward the old man; however, his kindness may stem more from protecting himself from suspicion of watching the old man every night than from genuine compassion for the old man. The narrator shows his contrariety when he confesses he loves the old man, but he is still too overwhelmed by the pale blue eye to restrain himself from the all-consuming desire to eliminate the eye. His struggle is evident as he waits to kill the old man in his sleep so that he won't have to face the old man when he kills him; but on the other hand, the narrator can't justify the killing unless the vulture eye was open. The narrator is finally able to kill the man because "I saw it with perfect distinctness - all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones; but I could see nothing else of the old man's face or person: for I had directed the ray as if by instinct, precisely upon the damned spot".
The mission of the narrator begins with meticulous planning and confidence, but ultimately his guilty conscience creates his downfall. For seven days, the narrator watches the old man while he sleeps and he even "chuckled at the idea" that the old man knows nothing of the narrator's "secret deeds or thoughts". The narrator's comments show his confidence and audacity, even pride, in his plan to kill: "Never before that night had I felt the extent of my own powers - of my sagacity. I could scarcely contain my feelings of triumph". The narrator's assurance in his evil deed continued even when the police came to check on the old man and investigate the loud noises neighbors heard the night before: "I smiled,-for what had I to fear? I bade the gentlemen welcome". However, the narrator's mind is quickly consumed with guilt, which creates his delusion of hearing the old man's heartbeat taunting him from under the flooring. His paranoia makes the heart beat "louder - louder - louder!" and in his state of delirium he confesses to killing the old man in hopes of ridding his life of the menacing heartbeat: "I felt that I must scream or die! - and now .
The narrator sets out to rid his life of the fear he created by obsessing over the man's eye, but once that fear is destroyed, another fear - that of the heartbeat - is created and becomes more overwhelming than the first. In playing mind games with himself - seeing how far he can push himself to triumph over his own insanity - the narrator slips further into a fantasy world. His overriding confidence in killing the man ultimately turns into overriding guilt even as he justifies in his mind the savage killing, chopping up the body and placing it under the floorboards. The narrator's imagination creates his need and plan to destroy the eye, but it then creates the need to save himself from the heartbeat that drives him over the edge.
這樣才能有效地做好班組工作。作為班組長要不斷加強學習,而且把所學的知識及時運用到實踐中去,不斷加大工作力度。首先要抓安全。安全是工作的命脈。只有安全才能保證生產的順利開張。堅持班前會、班中查安全、班後總結安全,從而有力地保證安全。。班組長要認真貫徹執行企業的各項規章制度,督促全班人員熟練掌握操作規程,在嚴格要求別人的同時,正人先正己,對工作一絲不苟,精益求精,能做到十分絕對不做九分。作為一名班組長,必須要團結同志,關心同志,辦事要公道,要敢於管理,善於管理,既不得因情費法,也不能因法廢人。只有實行制度化管理和人性化管理相結合的方法,才能在加大工作力度的同時見到實效,否則,將會事倍功半,徒勞無功。困難面前不灰心,不懂就問,不會就學,堅持在幹中學、學中幹,不斷充實自己,完善自己,提高自己的工作能力,特別要在做好人的工作和協調各方面的關係上下功夫,做文章,見成效。
繼續發揚幹一行,愛一行的工作作風,以高度的責任感、使命感和工作熱情,積極負責地開展工作。俗話說“火車跑的快,全靠車頭帶”。在生產時,經常在車間、現場進行檢查,發現問題及時處理,提高工作效率。設備出現故障時,我並極時搶修,無論是清理現場衛生還是在機器保養,我都身先士卒,積極參加,與員工同甘共苦。
樹立安全生產責任意識。把安全放在心裡,把過去嘴上講安全變成現在心中有安全。形成安全工作天天講,人人做的良好局面。切實做好班中巡迴檢查工作,對生產設備的運轉情況,對生產設備各系統進行巡迴檢查,以便及時發現異常情況,採取措施消除隱患,排除故障,防止事故的發生。嚴格執行交接班制度,要求交接班人員必須面對面將生產、安全、衛生等情況交接清楚,做到不清楚就不交接班,防止因交接班不清楚而危機生產安全。
一個班組在成長的過程中會遇到各種各樣的問題和困難,無論是班組長還是每個員工都不能保證其100%的正確性,所以,只有在工作的過程中不斷修正自己的錯誤,分析錯誤的原因,提出整改措施和防範措施,改進工作方法才能促使整個班組朝著完美的目標前進。

我很喜歡那裡的名句,其中特別喜歡的是這一句話了,它就是:一言既出,駟馬難追。它的意思是:說話要算數,一句話說了出去,就要實現你許下的諾言,不能反悔,我就有過這樣一件事情:我的數學成績比較差,測驗卷髮下來時我總是垂頭喪氣、唉聲歎氣,因為成績不理想,現在已經到80多分的成績了,我下定決心下一次一定要拿到100分,於是,我開始了調查。我首先把錯的題目看一遍,發現基本都是計算不行,其餘的都是應用題不會,我改了我會的題目,又仔細看了一次不會的題。放學後,我問媽媽我不會的題,然後一步步分析。最後,我總結了經驗。到了下一次測驗時,我認真檢查了所有題目,找出錯誤並改正,交了卷。果然,我拿了100分!實現了我給自己許下的諾言。在生活中,我們有時也會說話不算數,而且根本不提它,小學生還會把它推到別人身上,所以,你能做到的事情才去做,不能做的就別勉強去做了,更不要亂許諾啦!
增廣賢文是我最喜歡的書了,我希望你們能在這本書上獲得比我更豐富的知識哦!

觀今宜鑒古,無古不成今……每當同學們讀增廣賢文的聲音傳入我的耳朵時,我就佩服古人們的聰慧,也佩服他們的勇於實踐的精神,這些都是他們的寶貴經驗,都是親身經歷過的。所以我們才會覺得很有道理。
這些都是古人的聖訓,我們要謹記。不要在犯過錯誤後才為自己的行為感到後悔。我體會最深的就只有兩句話就是‘欲求生富貴,須下死工夫’和‘羊有跪乳之恩,鴉有反哺之義’這兩句話第一句話的意思是:你想要生前的富貴就要下很大的功夫。我覺的這句話很對,例如你想要考上大學,就要下很大的功夫,必須比別人下更大的努力你才有可能成功。第二句話的意思是‘羊喝奶的時候還是跪著喝的,烏鴉還有養育它父母的事情。’我們要做一個孝敬父母的人,無論你將來是貧窮還是富有,都要養育你的父母親,不要忘記他們對你的愛,要有感激之心。我一定會把這兩句話記在心裡,並且要做到。
