Most of the list is the way of doing things, thinking, character points, perhaps I think for the primary PM is very important, perhaps I tried to summarize the growth of the sentiment-now they have been integrated into my personality, both in work and life have benefited me, greatly improved. So here to share with you.
1. Empty yourself at any time
- Find ways of doing things, thinking, personality and so on, change at any time.
- There have been operations mm to find me, to a XX data, my head in the first moment thinking about the program, tell her about how long it will take, we need to pick from where the data and further processing to get. Operating mm indicates good. After I found a related development, he said, "Isn't there a system in this number?" "I suddenly think of it!" This system is still my design! Forget it yourself!
- After analysis, this is not an accidental short-circuit of the brain, but I did not develop a "thinking solution, first consider whether the existing resources can directly meet" the way of thinking. I then summed up a set of "thinking processes when dealing with problems" written in the daily paper. Every time you encounter a problem, as long as you think about it, you must force yourself to follow the new process; If you don't think about it, make sure you remember it.
- Changing the way of doing things, thinking and personality may be a very "anti-human" process, but the utility is huge. Feel free to empty yourself at any time and embrace change at any time. After efforts, I from the original introverted tendency to become internal and external balance, with no plan to become a collation of the addiction ... Both work and life benefit from it.
2. I think right, that's right.
- Again authoritative words, critical thinking, take its essence, discard its dross.
- The CEO gave me a direct request, describing a method of calculating an indicator he had created without telling the purpose. I was afraid that there was a problem with the demand or could be met in other ways, and asked, "Why so?" What do you want to get from it? "Fully understood after the meaning of which I only expressed affirmation and consent, and arranged for development. When I was eating pizza, the CEO joked that I was "right," and that I had to convince her and make her feel right. Mentor smiled lightly and said: "In fact very good." ”
- To persist and to be open means to seek opinions extensively and to think critically. Please keep high eq while you need attention. Through intentional, strong hint, let oneself develop critical thinking + high EQ business habit.
3. Don't be a wuss.
- Self-confidence, not afraid of wrong. New, it is not the right or wrong but the gas field. Mistakes are easy to correct, the gas field difficult to practice. Gas field, that is not necessarily right, but let people think you speak really reasonable really good.
- New people may be timid because they are afraid of mistakes. In the first few days of my career, mentor said, "You sent the daily, and later copied the technical department." "I have a keyhole and a stare:" That's not everyone can see? (Good shame, because I will write some summary and sentiment) "Yes, see just see Bai." When the product manager, must not be counseling, to learn to show you in front of all people, let others see your achievements, to gain recognition and opportunity. "After hard work, mentor said that I have made great progress, but still have" student gas "," insufficient gas field. " "Even if what you say is not necessarily right, the gas field must hold." ”
- The reason why "counseling", to a large extent, is because of the weak new ability of the lack of self-confidence, and moderate humility of the mentality. Having a strong gas field is primarily about enhancing confidence, followed by learning to express skills (such as full preparation before expression, the logic of expression, the use of tone and gestures, etc.) that require long-term accumulation and extensive practice.
4. Nothing to do
- Nothing to say is the initiative, any doubt or puzzled are actively thrown out, feel that they should be able to do the job must strive for, "do not counseling."
- There are a lot of vacancies inside startups, and there are opportunities for initiative. A colleague understand the company situation, casually to the next table leader asked: "We now have a, but less a BB, will not give xx to do a BB ah?" "Yes, you can do it." "--Next and after learning this trick I have tried, from time to time to express ideas, make suggestions, mentor usually say:" Yes, then you do it. "And gain a lot from the new opportunities.
- Expressing ideas in an active way may lead to unnecessary work, but this is an opportunity for progress. At the same time initiative can also give people a positive impression, he le?
5. Now immediately
- Execution force is now, immediately, immediately! The unimportant question is not worth the time, immediately finalize a not bad plan, do it. Important questions, using logic to clear up ideas, the same rapid assessment of a good plan, to do it.
- I was originally a very tangled person, here does not tangle clearly difficult to carry out the next step, the result is repeatedly delay. Mentor arranged for a colleague to share: "When can we share this content?" "The Other side:" Can ah. "If I had been in the past, I would have struggled to contact him again to arrange the sharing, but mentor would then say in a statement:" Next Tuesday. "If the other party is free, he will give a direct answer, if not available, ask when the next week is free." In this way, no 3 rounds, a sharing meeting time, the theme has been determined, down immediately send a preview mail, according to the date of the mail prepared. The same is true in meetings where things can be decided quickly without unnecessary discussion, and things that cannot be quickly decided are skipped directly.
6. Experience is the Devil
- "What I say is wrong" is because every experience has a usage scene. If you are lazy in thinking and abusing experience, then experience is the devil.
- I was taught to "run small, fast," and usually a larger function, we would dismantle core functions and then iterate over non-core optimizations. Once design xx handover system, the core of the handover logic clear, I did not design more screening conditions, because time is tight, has been non-core requirements can be left to the next period. However, on-line to find that screening is too weak to manually, the system is difficult to use to let people want to give up. I realized that it was blind "fast iteration", the wrong version of the forced demolition. Then I thought about the meaning of "fast iteration" before I understood it to find the problem and solve it faster. What's the use of a product when it's broken down to "fast", so it affects core functionality?
- Experience and truth are only established under certain conditions, and the preconditions for their prompt placement are often omitted. Learning experience and truth, it is important to think about why it is so, what circumstances apply, and under what circumstances it will result in bad results.
7. Help you, not for you
- For the work of other colleagues have ideas, can gently suggest, not to make decisions for others, but also do not work for others. This is a kind of respect.
- Once an emergency needs to come, and the development of the schedule of the responsible person just leave, I see the situation emergency himself for his communication with the development of the development of the schedule, finally told him, he seems a little unhappy. I also realized that it was inappropriate to apologize. A predecessor said: "The development of the scheduling is his work, you put other people's work done, of course, others are not happy." "I blamed myself for a long time, feeling that I was overstepping my authority and not respecting the person responsible. Fortunately, everyone is good at talking, not in mind.
- I will communicate with the person in charge at least 3 times every time I meet a similar event. The 1th time is to inform the situation. If I can not personally deal with, let me deal with, I will tell you first I have communicated with the responsible person. The 2nd time is to arrive at the plan after the first time inform the responsible person, get consent to implement again. The 3rd time is implemented after the results of feedback to the responsible person, let him peace of mind. The process is "I'm helping You" instead of "I'll do it for you".
8. You move me, you're quiet.
- Adapt yourself to the environment at any time and become a complement to the team. Everyone is active, then I only speak at the critical time, everyone is dull, then I will open your words.
- Mentor always speak little and fine. After the newcomers join the group, he will be enthusiastic to initiate a rotational self-introduction. To ensure the self-introduction of the results, will guide the self-introduction of the format: "Everyone to say their name, where the person, what is the job now." Feel that someone does not introduce their position in place, the colleague will be at the end of the speech to add humor. If the strategist's data analysts simply say that he is doing data analysis, he will add: "All said ' sea sailing by the helmsman ', XX is our company's ' helmsman ', for the company to specify the direction ah." "Then there was a laugh. When the atmosphere got up, he returned to a state where he had not spoken much before (but with humor in almost every sentence). Later, I and the team to build a new group to imitate, self-introduction game opening atmosphere is good. And then the programmers were so introverted and cold. I usually do not have a lot of words, now take the lead to speak more, not to silence, they are interested to listen to a few more words of chat, but also happy. (now think about it, you should encourage them to talk about themselves.) ）
- PM should be the team's lubricant. Some people are born with the nature of lubricants, if you are also like me and no talent, please consciously to learn and practice.
9. Observing "Gao"
- If you have the opportunity to communicate directly, your questions can be directly directed, if there is no opportunity to communicate directly, quietly to see, listen to can have a lot of harvest.
- I will often observe how the "tall Man" is dealing with things. For example, in a meeting, the pace of the conference is too slow, the topic run off, in the side to see the phone's CTO will naturally interrupt, then how to interrupt? Say what? Tone, gesture is how to make people feel convincing, comfortable. Or experienced PM leadership meeting, how to write e-mail, how to open, how to guide the discussion, how to do the record ... Sometimes I raise my doubts directly to the "high people", and sometimes their incisive answers can lead to several days of thinking.
- Observing "high man", directly and "Gao" exchange, perhaps the most efficient way of learning. But the premise is that you have to be willing to move your mind. Two tips: First, the initiative to create communication opportunities, the second is to get the feeling to give feedback in a certain form, such as I will write in the daily so that they can see, give a "I say you have a good think about it" feeling, the next exchange will be more willing.
10. Look up
- After all, the company's resources are limited, looking beyond the company has more wonderful, work is important, look beyond the work there are more wonderful.
- "Problem-solving", "business expert"--the company to PM is so expected, so I always thought this is PM, until I and a user product PM dialogue, the first time to start thinking about the difference between to B and to C products, think I as PM also missing what. Until I saw the life of the happy Live, I first began to think about the meaning of overtime every day. I began to reduce overtime, spend more time to cook, exercise, dress up, shopping ... It's wonderful to feel that you are getting better every day.
- PM the best products should be themselves, an increasingly balanced, positive sunshine of their own. Internal, external, family, friends, career, hobbies ... PM is not immersed in doing scientific research can not ask the world, their comprehensive development to ensure the wide range of knowledge, information circle, to maintain the life, to the people, sensitive to the user.
