[Practice of Project Manager] Full Text Index

I used a lot of pen and ink to write modestly.

Many of my friends replied: "Understanding modesty is important. But how can we practice "Modesty ?"

[Personal Knowledge Management] users' opinions are representative: "Who doesn't know how to be modest and important, but how to do it ?"

 

Yes. The question of how to practice "Modesty" is the biggest headache!

 

Well. For a long time, modesty has become an impression of ease of action. Therefore, many people give up the idea of Positive Research on the System of modesty, give up the idea of positive towards modest learning, and regard modesty as a talent, to which point can I use it? I took a desperate attitude.

 

Actually, this is not correct!

 

Sun's opinion is:

LModesty is certainly feasible.

LModesty can certainly be learned.

 

Just like learning English, learning modesty has no secret to achieving it overnight.

From simple to deep, step by step, is the truth.

 

This article introduces how to cultivate modesty!

 

Modesty is indeed a bit of a sense, but as a project manager, we only learn two

 

I. [position] Low Position

2. Weapons actively show weakness

 

So what is the specific response?

 

Let's talk about what is "Low Position"

 

As we all know, project managers are actually a weakness. The management did not put you in the eyes, and the old qualifications and technical experts may not take you seriously.

 

Just like Sun Wukong, he regards Ma Wen, an unfilled position, as an amazing official. He plays an official role and only laughs at others. As a result, the fairies made a cool joke to know that they were used as monkeys.

 

In this case, it is better to let people down, treat people equally, show people fairly, and integrate them into the project team in a down-to-earth manner. This will win the respect of others.

 

In the mail, how can I show that I have lowered my position?

 

Method 1: commands and Directive sentences are not allowed.

 

It doesn't mean that there are any problems with commands and instructions, but it is not suitable for new project managers who have just completed identity conversion.

 

In a word, commands and instructions require stronger identities.

 

However, it is too dangerous to use commands or instructions to communicate with new people, such as a three-year-old child playing a bot. A little careless, just afraid that your modest image in the eyes of others will collapse completely.

 

Therefore, you must always check whether such sentence exists in your upcoming email.

 

Method 2: there is only a project and no project manager.

 

In other words, try not to send an email in your name or in the name of the project manager.

 

Specifically:

 

When you send an email to a group member

 

LCompany rules and regulations;

LRequirements of the company's superior leadership;

LCustomer requirements;

LProject requirements

 

And you as a member of the project, as the recipient;

 

Just like in a movie, you pick up a gun and give it to your opponent three times. What you say is not: "I want to slaughter you !", "In the name of the revolution, you are sentenced to death ..."

 

When you send emails to people outside the project team

 

LProject Team

 

You send an email as a member of the project team as the sender.

 

In this way, the management can feel that you are not a single person, but a team, and you do not dare to underestimate your opinions. In addition, it can make the project team members feel that you are one of them, not a foreman, which leads to a sense of closeness.

This is very beneficial to the project manager.

 

Let's talk about what is "Active weak ".

 

For new project managers, both on the project and on the work side, there are many areas to learn and improve. At this time, do not be knowledgeable. One sentence-do not install it!

 

Dishonest people are humble, and others will not believe it. When others discover your problems, you will admit that your image will also plummet.

 

Therefore, the best way to do this is: If you find yourself having any problems, you can come up with them as soon as possible, and you must come up with them first!

 

So what are the advantages of starting weakness first?

LTo a large extent, it avoids attacks from potential enemies.If your potential enemy wants to avoid direct conflicts with you, he will not attack this weakness, so as to prepare for your time;

LYou can consult with others with confidence and integrate them into the project team.This kind of consultation not only improves your business capabilities, but also allows you to quickly find out who is hostile to you, who has the ability, and who may become your collaborators;

LYou can safely send this task to others without causing any protest;

LIf your weakness is no worse than others in the project team, you will receive unexpected deterrent effects;

LIf you can make rapid progress in this area, you will be able to give your colleagues a sense of closeness and look up with other project team members;

 

Remember: Open vulnerabilities are more impeccable than your advantages! And it can be attacked and defended !!

 

How can we proactively show weakness in emails?

 

For example, if you have no confidence in the schedule you have written, you may attach the following message to your email: "due to lack of experience, there must be many problems. If you have any comments or suggestions, please kindly advise ."

 

What will happen?

 

-If no problem is found, it means you are modest;

-If you find the problem, it means you are honest;

-If you discover and raise questions to you, And you accept and improve them seriously, it means you are modest and motivated.

 

Is there anything better than this?
