Zeus is the king of the gods. He controls the world by dispatching thunder and lightning on Mount Olympus. He is feared, respected, and occasionally loved by the gods. He represents the traditional characteristics of the patriarchal family, that is, "irrationality". However, he often uses power for good intentions. Although it is not very rational, it is full of charm. Therefore, Zeus represents the power culture in the enterprise. This culture is like a spider web, spreading out from a central point to all around. In this culture, the most important thing is not the lines projected from the center, but the lines around the village. The lines that surround the spider in the center represent power and influence, and the farther away from the center, the weaker its importance.

This kind of organizational culture is most common in small businesses. In a small business, the boss's son may be responsible for the manufacturing part of the product, the nephew may be responsible for the sales of the product, the cousin may be in charge of the accounting department, the brother-in-law may be the company's negotiator, and the sister-in-law may be the office secretary. All of these people surround the boss and wait for orders, forming the boss's power system. Of course, this kind of organizational culture also exists in large enterprises. For example, Alibaba, which is well known to us, is an enterprise that focuses on power and authority. All the operations of Alibaba are centered around Jack Ma. If Jack Ma wants a star in the sky, Alibaba employees will probably fly up to the sky in a rocket to pick one for Jack Ma.

For the pursuit of speed in decision-making, this power culture is a perfect choice, but this pursuit of speed does not guarantee high quality. The quality of decision-making depends on the talents of Zeus and the people closest to him. If Zeus is old, incompetent, and indifferent, and the gods around him lack talent and strategic vision, the entire organization is likely to rot.

They can quickly find solutions to problems. In enterprises, Zeus-type people tend to rely on intuition and have a sense of the overall situation. They can quickly find solutions to problems. If this method does not work, they will quickly find the next one. This is just like when Jack Ma started his business with the original 18 Arhats of Alibaba. In Jack Ma's intuitive judgment, Internet shopping will become the future development trend, so he overcame layers of obstacles and finally established his own business empire.

Zeus-type people are generally like Jack Ma, good at learning from mistakes or learning from imitation. In a company with this kind of leader, talented young people are likely to succeed at a young age. Because Zeus-type leaders are good at discovering new role models and building a rich talent pool for the company. In addition, his expectations for power far exceed his pursuit of personnel. This is like Jack Ma. As long as I have an overview of the power, what does it matter if I am not the CEO of Alibaba?
