About leaders

The highest level of leadership is "a god-like existence", never doing any specific transactions, and only a few people have seen him. But when you hear his will, just like an avid religious believer, you do your best to follow his will.

In the second realm, a leader is like a diligent monarch and acts like Zhuge Liang. Everything is conscientious and relevant, but the results are not necessarily good. It's like Zhuge Liang. after his death, what is the purpose of diligence? The company must not rely on the boss alone. The boss manages sales, finance, and R & D. You are very real, but the company lost its direction.

The leadership in the third realm is like a tyrant, who sends power every day and learns from his subordinates. He can't wait to take the whip and throw everyone away. In the end, everyone has overturned him, and the company has fallen.

Liu Bang, one of the best leaders in history, said: "In the strategizing process of the husband, I am not as good as the sub-house (Zhang Liang). In the town and country, ask the people and give them feedback, I am not as good as Xiao He, even if I have millions of people, the battle will win, and the attack will be good. I am not as good as Han Xin. All three are good, I can use it, so I also take the world. Xiang Yu has a Fan Zeng and cannot be used. Therefore, I recommend this for me ".

There is also a very good leader who is familiar with Liu Bei. On the courage and martial arts, Liu Bei is inferior to Guan Yu Zhang Fei; on the wisdom and strategy, Liu Bei is inferior to Wolong fengwei. However, at the end of the day, all these talented people were willing to sell their lives to Liu Bei.

It can be seen that as the highest leader of the company, we only need to do two things well: the first is to determine the direction of development, as if Liu Bang's direction is to destroy Xiang Yu's self-reliance as the king; liu Bei's direction is to repeat the hanban office. The second is to attract strong people in this age to you. You have the ability to recruit the most competent people in this age to do things on your own. It is hard to think about failure.

 

Humble

Tang Jun said: "My success can be copied." Later, we found that his educational qualifications can also be copied.

Li Ka-shing said: "I just got lucky and caught up with the opportunity given by the times. I have not read much books, so I can only work harder and harder ".

The more you practice, the more powerful your abilities are. The more powerful your abilities are, the more likely you will be unable to hold yourself down. You will always feel that you are successful and arrogant and start to get complacent, in fact, it's just half a bottle of water. Therefore, Li Ka-shing said, "create yourself and pursue" without me ". To create oneself is to make oneself higher, faster, and stronger; to pursue without me is to make others feel their own existence, without putting pressure on others and making others feel comfortable.

Yijing also describes humility. The original Article is as follows:

Tiandao sub-Economic and bright, tunnel humble and upstream; Tiandao profit and benefit Qian, tunnel profit and flow Qian; ghost god profit and Fu Qian, humane evil profit and good Qian. Modest, respectful and light, humble and not over, the gentleman's end also. 6th: qianqian, a gentleman, using the big Chuan, Ji.

Translation: Tiandao provides benefits to all things, while showing its bright light. The tunnel is weak and carries the growth of all things. Tiandao to make the profit of the full loss and supplement the humble, authentic to make the full overflow flow to the humble. The ghosts and gods are full and bless the humble; the human hate is full and you like the humble. Humble, distinguished, bright, humble, and insurmountable. The gentleman remains humble to the end. Sixth Day: Humble gentleman, because of this moral character, even involving big risks, crossing the river, will also be auspicious.

It can be seen that maintaining a humble character is in line with the path of Heaven and Earth. I think it is not humble for some people in the blog Park. For example, I have used the MVP record over the years and obtained it certification, in fact, I don't think it is necessary to take over the work of a famous company. Let us know what you want to explain? Of course, I am also growing up. I have deleted two blog posts that are not so humble.

In some specific historical periods, humility is a matter of life and death. If you read the last section of the Qin Dynasty, you will find an interesting phenomenon: the first batch of heroes named King are all destroyed; instead, those who were named kings survived. If you think that you are a king, you may not be a king. Even if you have not done so for a long time, you must admit that you are a king. If you think that you are a fork, you may not be a real fork, it's really cool to recognize.

In short, humility can make your step more stable and go further (of course, you can be less humble in the interview, that is, when you show yourself ).

 

About Soft Power

Lang Xianping has a 6 + 1 theory that is very interesting. It means that you can buy a Barbie doll in a toy store because it has gone through 6 + 1 Procedures. 6 of them refer to product design, raw material procurement, warehousing and transportation, order processing, wholesale operation, and retail. 1 means manufacturing. 6 + 1 is the so-called industry chain.

He liked to use Barbie as an example. The price of Barbie in the Walmart supermarket was $10, and we could only create $1 in value. Americans earned $9 in value through 6. The key is that there is no pollution, no exploitation, no damage to the environment, no waste of commercial value. If we create a value of 1 million yuan, the Americans will get a value of 900 US dollars, the more we make and produce, the richer the Americans are.

Finally, we come to the conclusion that we should also go to step 6 to integrate the entire industry chain. This 6 is soft power. Similarly, Apple relies on soft power, while Foxconn relies on hard power.

Does it seem quite reasonable? Actually, I don't know. I have to think about it when I'm reading a book. I don't think it's exactly the right thing. Here are a few examples:

Have you heard of Jianlibao? I used to make a famous drink, but I don't know which of the leaders thought of a bad trick: Integrating the industrial chain and packing it in cartons. Jian Libao builds a carton factory on its own to produce carton boxes for Jian Libao's own use. As a result, the quality and speed of the cartons in the factory could not keep up with the original suppliers. The reason is simple. This Society focuses on division of labor. If you do not do it yourself, it will be faster and better than others who have done it for decades.

In a similar example, a customer of our company, Dow Yi Nong, a subsidiary of Dow Chemical. There are 6 sub-plants in China, but only one is self-built by Dow. Every day, Dow orders to import large barrels of raw materials for pesticides from overseas to China, then it is distributed to each sub-assembly plant for production. Dow was very impressed by a meeting with the bold requirements of these sub-assembly plants, the three 20-year-old girls in Dow scolded the heads of the 10-plus 30-year-olds in the sub-assembly factory for being unable to lift their heads. Don't they get angry? Why can't I put a fart? Because Dow is their biggest customer, accounting for 60% of their sales, it cannot afford to offend. But it's Dow's own sub-assembly factory. Everyone is a render army. Are you cool?

There is also, for example, a self-built distribution company called fanwe. At first, it was very popular, and now it has been reduced to only a few first-tier cities. The truth is the same.

From these examples, we can see that Lang Xianping's 6 + 1 theory is open to question and may be applicable to large Sino-US relations. However, when it comes to every company, it should be considered based on the actual situation. However, the concept of soft power is okay, that is, there is no pollution, low cost, and high-value intellectual work. In contrast, it can be regarded as hard strength to start factories and make hard money.

After talking so much, what is the relationship with everyone? ForProgramFor the staffCodeWriting well is called hard strength. What is soft power? It is the attitude, enthusiasm, responsibility, teamwork and communication skills of doing things. I found that many programmers focus on their own hard power, that is, the technical level, but do not focus much on their soft power. In my opinion, we need both internal and external training and both hardware and software to become a better programmer.
