The original intention of rotation system The rotation system of Executive Management Team (EMT) was introduced in Huawei in 2004. The original intention of EMT design comes from the change of management thought. 1999, elected chairman, responsible for external communication and public relations of the company, focusing on internal management of the company. Huawei has developed rapidly. However, since Li Yinan, who was in charge of technology, left in 2000, and Bao Zheng retired from management due to physical discomfort, Ren began to think about the enterprise model of team management.

In 2002, Huawei's sales revenue reached 654.38+0.6 billion, and the number of employees has exceeded 20,000. However, Ren's personal role is still as powerful as Superman. Like many traditional enterprises, Huawei has continued a highly centralized governance model. Ren Zheng Fei is the de facto chairman and CEO, and he basically has the final say in all major strategic and operational decisions. Even if there are clear articles of association and EMT meeting procedures to make business decisions, the form is often greater than the content.

When voting: if it is consistent with Ren Zheng Fei, it will be passed naturally; In case of disagreement with Ren, Ren's opinion shall prevail. In article 53 of Huawei's Basic Law, which was finalized by 1998, "the principle of decision-making is to take good advice and not follow the crowd." This expression is also intriguing, and the executives made it very clear that the so-called saint is Ren Zheng Fei.

This highly centralized governance model, Xiao He defeated Xiao He, and the color of "rule by man" was very serious, which not only brought efficiency to the company, but also brought many disasters.
