Setting up an Internet start-up company, what kind of service to solve, what kind of problem is the necessary value for each company, however, the company believes in what kind of concept, give each person what kind of values, is the company provides the added value to the society, when the team expands or when the employee leaves the company, The moment that he continues to take the idea out of his identity, it will bring benefits to society as a whole. I think for many entrepreneurs, this is also worth looking into and thinking. May be because usually like to talk with colleagues about the concept of work, over time, found himself to this team, more and more our own style, but also let everyone more agree with the concept of the team, I hope to share some of the ideas I think good to more people, these ideas belong to the new company, belong to the new generation.
Work can be optimistic, but always have a plan
Our Programmer's Inn www.proginn.com belongs to a technology crowdsourcing service company, and we have done many products from 0 to 1, and even from 1 to 10 of development iterations. Talk about technical management, which is the product manager with engineers, designers, the process of cooperation, which hides a lot of risk, including the development of the process of control, or the programmer suddenly ran out of the accident, when the accident occurred, the state of the startup company is not as large as the resources of the company, and then to other departments seconded manpower is a bit difficult So it becomes relatively important to have a plan on hand. Therefore, for the sake of this idea write a letter to the subscribing colleague, the paragraph in the letter is as follows:
"The biggest pain point for all entrepreneurs is" only one programmer ", so when the small business partners out of trust to send the project to our platform for us to develop, we must give the entrepreneurial team full developer manpower support, if found a programmer two or three days without contact with the demand side, Should call immediately contact the programmer what things, rather than let the demand side rush us, not immediately substitution development, now more and more programmers choose to become freelance workers, but once into the development of the project must be responsible for, otherwise is not responsible for the demand side, but also for their own execution of a pretext, Do things the same, according to the rules of the most important! ”
Believe that the work of people should know that most of the work on the things will be less than expected, so the more ready to plan for the more adequate, is often the key to determine success or failure, in the start-up company, how to prepare a good plan with limited resources, all workers must think carefully the first step.
Not on the right, only talent, people will make mistakes, but the pot must be someone to answer
In traditional enterprises, most of the job is filled with qualitative thinking, the boss, subordinate barriers clear, and comply with customer first. However, in the company, I have always wanted the company to make the right decision, saying that they think the right words, no one who on who under the problem, as long as the right thing, should go to fight, even if the final result is a failure, their own ways to make up and solve. On the right, to understand with the customer and the boss to fight for the direction of the next, to learn to listen to professional or frontline combatants advice, the whole team will slowly go to the right direction. Because of this, I often say that the company's team has produced all the results, it is the team's credit, I am only responsible for these processes to tell the people.
In all the decisions, I find that our education or social environment has created a phenomenon where parents, teachers, or officers often ask you to make decisions, and when you find that the decision is wrong, they say it's your decision and they just " Strongly "suggest that you make this decision, which does not sound a responsible approach. So in the company, I particularly emphasize who decides who is responsible, if I decide who to do which project, then I am responsible for the success or failure of the case, and responsible for the implementation of the person is responsible for the project to the right direction. If one day customers feel that the project is not good, the responsibility is on me, I must be responsible for deciding whether the customer's problem, or the implementation of the people do not do well, and then solve the problem, blame the implementation of the person has no meaning, because the decision to employ people, to be responsible for success or failure.
I often think that this concept is very important in startups, because sometimes it is heard that some founders would say that if I did it myself, it might not be a problem. But the problem is that each person has only 24 hours a day, you can't do everything, so know how to delegate and respect each decision of the team, will let the whole team grow together, can also be the direction of the company to go.
Everything to solve problems as the first priority, product quality First
Many times my colleagues apologize for the delay in development, I must immediately reply, we are not the time to blame, but to solve the problem, I always believe that no product in the development process will not be a problem, the focus is how to solve the problem and adjust the pace. When the problem occurs, many people tend to respond first, "This is not exactly my problem". But in fact, the question of who I do not care about, I care about, who can solve the problem, how to solve the problem, let the problem be solved, let the development of the program back to normal. Therefore, even with customers to develop products in the process of often encountered problems, but because of the problem together with the development of a good understanding of the product is the most well-developed.
I have experienced so many start-up teams, there are some people who know how to protect themselves, but they do not have to make a good product development, this is often my own most care about, and most want to avoid. Since to develop products, I only care about the product itself good and bad, rather than blindly to believe that the customer is always right, I care about the whole development team whether have sufficient resources, whether they can cooperate with each other, whether there is a good development system and the development of product circulation, only technical team cooperation smooth, To provide maximum backup for the operation of the product. Therefore, even if the needs of the product operators are often filled with all kinds of wonderful problems, the maintenance of product development smoothness will definitely be my first priority, excessive demand or too much confusion caused by the confusion of the development process, is definitely the first time need to be stopped.
Talk about money not hurt feelings, the ideal value is the pursuit
As an operator of a company, I believe that it is very common for most company operators to have to talk about salary with their colleagues in the company. However, in the course of discussions with my colleagues, I would like to discuss what kind of basic value, or added value, a colleague has played in the company, and if there are other companies and environments that can give more value to colleagues, I will not be stingy with him.
We usually discuss the value of this, if the programmer is relatively simple, like our Programmer's Inn to the programmer Dispatch, are based on 600 dollars a day 8 hours of work to calculate. If the programmer is well-trained and the customer is sure to be able to solve more hours in a short time, then he can define his own daily wage of 2000 to let the customer hire him.
And if the project manager, is to see one months can manage the amount of the number of projects to decide, of course, good project managers can simultaneously control two to three start-up projects, which is of course the value of the project manager. If you can increase the number of management hours because of management skills, the natural value will become higher, and the increase is the inevitable thing.
Talking about value, in fact, not only good for the company colleagues, so that they quickly understand the meaning of their existence. For the company, to clarify the value and responsibility of each person, natural management will be more smooth, but also let me remember, to let everyone's value can be successfully played.
Slim, home, govern, ping the world
The last one, is my lifelong belief in a sentence, but also I most want to bring to each colleague's sentence: Slim, Qi Jia, govern, flat world. Now many companies in order to work overtime, the staff's life, when the company colleagues overtime habits, there is no own life, their own interests, and even do not care about their families. In an unbalanced working environment, the efficiency of doing things will not be stable, nor will it last. This point from the wisdom of the ancients clearly points out that their own with the family, to have the opportunity to expand the scope of the business, in fact, whether it is a new company or a person's life, are more than to see who support long, rather than who run faster.
So including their own health, like to have good exercise habits, their interests, their own circle of friends, to be able to worry about their families, these are the most important thing in our team, more important than the work. Because at work, some colleagues can help you, but their health, no one to help. Therefore, we choose to let everyone adjust their own time to balance their lives, it is not the company's welfare, but the company should be able to bring the basic environment for the team, so that everyone has the correct concept of work.
The team is the soul of the company, information sharing, cultural co-build
I believe that the value of entrepreneurship, not only the value of the product, but hope that through the growth of the team to inject some positive ideas and energy for this society, I think this is also a lot of startups want to bring social value.
I am fortunate that in my team, everyone is willing to share information, share the process of dealing with the problem and the key choice, the team can naturally grow, make the final decision of the people, although only one, but everyone's work, is the biggest factor in the company culture, rather than a single individual has the means to change.
It is not so much that the CEO is leading a team that everyone is a member of the team, and the whole team is working together for the company. I hope that every entrepreneurial operator, but also gradually build up their own team culture, so that the company in addition to product value, there is better cultural value, and further enhance the work culture in society, I believe that such a act, will be able to let our Internet venture into a virtuous cycle of development.
Entrepreneurship: A long way to repair the distant I will go up and down and quest
