Read "rework" This book many times, each reading has a different feeling. But never recorded these feelings, today, "rework" book some of the chapters do some excerpts, and some of my feelings summed up. For your reference. This is a book that has poisoned me so much, and it is a book that makes me think a lot. Anyone who wishes to see this article can read the book well. This book is not difficult to read, it is a book that you can read without interruption.

Real World

"It doesn't work in the real world," people always answer when you introduce a new idea to people. This "real world" sounds so depressing, ... Only people who are familiar with things are accustomed to victory, even if these things have been riddled with stale inefficiencies.

Uncover the "real world" lid and you'll find that people living in it are full of pessimism and disappointment. Worse, they want to drag others into their graves. If you are a hopeful and ambitious person, they will try to convince you that your ideas are impossible. They'll say you're wasting your time.

"The real World" does not exist, it is only a person's excuse. It's just that some people are doing nothing to absolve themselves.

Feeling: I often talk to a colleague and friends about some of my ideas, friends and colleagues will often answer me-this thing someone, a team did, did not succeed. Or say to me, when you do this, be careful with that. I think, this time is the most test of our time, to have a sober mind to analyze other people's words, others really do not represent themselves. Most people in the world are more conservative, and most of them are more or less afraid of the real world. Of course, you can choose to be a public, but if you want to make your life a little different, some wonderful, I suggest you do not like most people think, if you and most people's ideas, you will be the same as most of the mediocre. Of course, if you're not like most people, you're either a genius or a fool. To prove yourself to be a fool, we can see if we have had some small successes or small grades in the past. If so, then you should boldly stick to your own ideas.

Overrated "Learning from mistakes"

Do you really learn anything from mistakes and failures? You may have learned to stop repeating it, but what's the point? You still don't know what to do next.

Instead, you should draw nutrients from success. Success to a truly reliable textbook.

Failure is not a prerequisite for success. The natural law is that staying in the past failed to evolve, and evolution is based on success.

Feeling: I've seen and a lot of people are complaining it's not good, but they don't really know what's good, because--never seen good, you'll never know what's good. As if you've never seen a car, you're just complaining about why you're riding your bike too hard. Think back to the process of our programming, too, and the improvement in our programming skills is basically looking at other people's beautiful and elegant code. So, you have to go and see what good people do, how they do it, and go to those successful companies to open their eyes. In addition, you should think more about what you have done in the past. Those are your strengths that are the prerequisite for your evolution.

The plan is a blind guess.

Unless you're a fortune-teller, a long-term business plan is a fantasy. There are too many facts to prove that it is beyond your control: The market environment, opponents, customers, the economy and so on. Planning makes you feel like you're in control, but you don't actually.

When you turn a plan into a guess, you enter a dangerous position. Making a plan is using the past to derive the future, which is equivalent to putting an eye on you.

Feeling: Do you have a career plan? If you have one, then you must be mistaken. Career planning is a matter of great nonsense. I and some experts have communicated, in fact, these people in the original did not have any career planning, to say that there is, that is, to get the technology to get through the essence. These people never thought about being a manager or an architect or something like that at first, these people are very enthusiastic about the technology, to the side of those who can see enough to do well, and to maintain a strong curiosity to learn what they do not understand. A firm decision and willpower will be more important than any planning or career plan. You ask yourself, do not want to be a programmer, can you be a lifelong programmer, can write a program to write a lifetime? (For a lifetime programmer, you can look at my Sina Weibo – no industry is as active, exciting, and fun as the computer industry.) Not only the main force of the new Industrial Revolution, but also into all industries, a lifetime worth. @_ your dear Paranoid: Programmers are first engineers, Professional, like lawyers, doctors, to solve the problem for everyone, but the other side, but also the artist, create novelty and fun things. What's wrong with a career like this?

Refuse to grow

The bigger you are, the more stress you need, the more professional, the more powerful you are.

Have you noticed that big companies want to be flexible when a small company wants to become bigger. Remember, once you get bigger, it's hard to shrink by not firing people, not destroying morale, or changing your entire business route.

Expansion doesn't have to be your goal. We're not just talking about the number of employees you already have. There are costs, rents, IT infrastructure, equipment, etc. These things do not happen. You decide whether to take it or not. If you decide to take it, you will also experience new headaches. Spending so much, you force yourself to build a complex business, there are a lot of difficult and high-pressure things to solve.

Small companies are not a start, small companies themselves are a big goal.

Impression: Many people will think that owning a team of hundreds of people is a sign of success. Just as many friends and headhunters ask me how many people I care about, when I say, I manage a team that doesn't work for ten people, they all seem to think I'm mediocre. Some of them are basically not going to ask me what I'm doing anymore, because they might think that so few people do big things. Of course, I said they don't necessarily understand. There is nothing to be proud of, perhaps, that you may be doing a labor-intensive thing. The real pride is not in the war with tactics to let a large number of people as cannon fodder, but with a team to end the enemy's arsenal or headquarters. So, the key is not how many people you have, the key is that what you do is not of great significance, and you use the smallest equivalent of resources. This is like building a high-performance Web site, with hundreds of servers is not a skill, who use less is the ability.

Workaholic

Workaholic behavior is not only unnecessary, but also extremely stupid. Too much work does not mean that you are more concerned about the project, nor does it mean that you have made more contributions, it just means that you have done more job. Workaholics make more trouble than they solve.

Workaholics tend to be pointless. They spend a lot of time solving problems, they think they can make up for the inertia of thinking by brute force, and the result is to toss out a bunch of rough and useless solutions.

If you work just for work, you will lose your judgment. Your values and the way you make decisions are distorted. You don't have the ability to judge which jobs are worth doing, which ones to give up, and end up exhausted, and an exhausted person cannot make a wise decision.

Workaholic is not a hero. They are wasting their lives instead of saving time. The real hero has come up with a way to fix everything and go home.

Feeling: It reminds me of those who are making the performance KPI, and many times their values and decisions are distorted. They have turned a technology-intensive work into labor-intensive. They're really trying to train their clients for the "faster horse" they need, and never think about making a faster transportation.

In addition, whenever I in the evaluation of excellent staff and staff performance appraisal in the cross-team comparison we can hear a lot of people say, XX employees work as a wish, work very late, pay a lot. To be honest, I'm really sad about this value. Finally, I would like to talk about overtime work, I also often learn and do their own things late at night, I believe that many people do, but we should seriously think about this point in rework, we work overtime is using brute force? Or are you using passion and interest?

Scratch your itch.

The most straightforward and easiest way to create a great product or a service that is excellent is to do what you want. Design the product you know-you'll soon find out if it works.

Best of all, "solve your actual problems" will make you fall in love with what you do. You know the problem and are familiar with the value of solving it. This is irreplaceable. After all, you will hopefully continue to do it for the rest of your life. It'll even take you all the rest of your life. So it's best to do what you really care about.

Feeling: This is to eat their own dog food, to do their own interests. In software projects, what I hate most is the kind of stuff that I don't use when I work out of my own business (something that doesn't grow from what I already have), or a variety of consultants who are pointing fingers on the side of their own hands, or top managers who like to use executive orders.

But, here, I would like to say that I understand another layer of "Scratch my itch"-one day I was chatting with a former colleague, she said that she has been in that company for more than 10 years, now old, although the heart is not old still want to toss, but the ability of their own self-confidence, stability. I heard a lot of friends want to have a change to themselves, such as QA students want to do development, there are friends living in the mainland to big cities have a better experience, these people obviously want to live more passionate, but ultimately in the face of compromise. I said since there are itch, but also more itchy, it should not hesitate to leather their own lives, vigorous life. Don't wait to be old, regret not having courage. "Scratch their itch" is to challenge themselves, leather their own lives, since think, do it, life only once, it is worth our vigorous to pay for it.

"No time" is no excuse.

One of the most common excuses: "Not enough time." "They claim they want to start a company, learn an instrument, write a book, and so on, but not enough time." Please, if you make good use of it, there will always be time.

Spare time to watch TV or play Warcraft to complete your ideas; it's not encouraging you to go to bed at 10 o ' clock or 16 hours a day--what we're saying is that it takes some spare time to do something in the first week.

When you have a strong desire, you can squeeze in time-no matter whether you are burdened with other responsibilities. In fact, the truth is that most desires are not so strong. So they take time as an excuse to justify themselves. Don't give yourself the wrong mouth.

Plus, there will always be times when you feel like you're too young, too old, too busy, too poor, or whatever. If you are always worried about meeting a perfect time, then the perfect time will never come.

Feeling: I also expressed this view in the "challenge everywhere", regarding the enthusiasm and the attitude, plainly is does not give oneself to find the excuse. For example: "Work too much time to learn so can not understand", "work is useless so can not understand", "no challenge to work, has not encountered the right project" and so on. And if you can only do things with everything you have, what is the value of you? The value and competitiveness of a person is the ability to fix things when conditions are not perfect.

Draw sand for the boundary, stand clear

Strong faith can win you big fans, they will lead for you, will sacrifice their own to protect you, their passionate word-of-mouth spread will be more than the world's advertising.

Strong ideas, but also to pay the price, in the process, someone will slander you, say, like arrogance, indifference. No way, this is life, someone like you, someone hates you. If your statement does not cause anyone to be distracted, it only means that your promotional efforts may not be enough. (may also mean that you are more boring)

For us, what our products can't handle is as proud as what our products can handle.

Our products are not suitable for everyone, we are willing to give up another part of our customers for those who love us more deeply. That is our position.

Feeling: I never want to be a public face. There are many more controversial articles on the cool shell, and many people say that I am extreme, paranoid, condescending, lofty ..., whatever they say. I have a wife who is a news editor, the main series requirements of the article to be objective and no point of view, tepid, originally a good article was edited only after a pile of food tasteless words. I like to have a clear view, because a clear view and position can not only make the article alive, but also to usher in more different opinions and more thinking (not just "top" "praise" and other meaningless reply). I don't want my point of view to be right, I just want to be able to think with more people, and the best catalyst for thinking is arguing. I've benefited a lot from this behavior.

Finding a retreat is tantamount to failure.

You often hear: "What is your exit strategy?" (in case of unsuccessful, what do you do) "Even when you first started to hear it." These people don't know how to get started. What's the hurry? If you want to get out of the way before you're fully committed, this logic is not a general mess.

You're planning a breakup when you're in love? You signed a prenuptial agreement on your first date? You're going to meet a divorce lawyer on your wedding morning? That's ridiculous.

What you need is a commitment strategy, not an exit strategy. You have to think about how your project will develop and succeed, not how to retreat. If the whole strategy is based on retreat, you won't have a chance to succeed at first.

Feelings: A few years ago, I had a friend of innovation factory cheat from the United States to come back to start a business, I very much doubt that he dropped out of business. He said to me, it's okay, I won't lose anything even if I fail. There was a friend who returned from the United States a year ago, and said to me, even if it's not good enough. I said to them, if you think you can make a success of a thing with a try, then why do you have some accumulated human feelings for all the time in the world? If you think of failure when you start a business, say you don't have the confidence to win this thing, It also means that you do not believe this matter, you still do what kind of effort ah? Instead of thinking about what you would do if a startup didn't work out, you'd have to think about how to do it.

Conditions are good.

"I don't have enough time, money, manpower, experience". Don't complain so needlessly. "Less" is not a bad thing. "Condition Limited" seemingly defective, strength advantage. Limited resources can inspire you to complete tasks under existing conditions. There is no room to waste, and everything requires your greatest creativity.

Have you ever seen a prisoner make a weapon with soap and spoons? You are a model of innovation. Only when the conditions are limited, we will play a "small material" ability.

Impression: I believe that many things in the world are conditioned by the constraints of the past. I think back to what I used to do in the performance tuning, to do everything possible to squeeze the system resources of this matter, I can not disagree with this sentence. Think of Taobao's TFS, a thing that is forced out of the way because conditions are limited to having to do it on their own. If you don't have enough people, you're going to want to optimize your work and development efficiency, and that will force you to develop automated tools that liberate productivity and help you do more quickly. Only the conditions are limited, the knowledge-intensive things from labour-intensive are stimulated. Go back to my previous article "whether the need for professional QA," the article said to the things, if you have a lot of help you do test QA, you will not go to test, your team will not have automated testing tools. It is as if in China, a large and cheap labor force, basically do not need your technical innovation, you only need to continue to accommodate these low-end users, to accommodate these users more, you can have any significant innovation? The real innovation is to help the user grow, not to indulge the user.

It is better to do half a product than to do semi-finished products.

The result of doing n things at the same time is that a bunch of brilliant ideas are eventually turned into a crappy product.

If you have a house, cut off your excess ambition, you will find that doing something slowly is better than doing a bunch of stupid things.

A lot of things are shorter and better. Pick up the axe and chop it, for a "great" start, let's cut off the "pretty good" side of the stuff.

Feeling: This is as "Why China's web design so Bad" said: "Chinese students just to remember things rather than real understanding." They never take the time to think, but simply greedy to get more information. Instead of remembering so many things, you might as well understand part of something. There is also a saying: "Done is decoupled than perfect!", which is sometimes quite true, especially for those projects that are perfectly long-term and impossible to do. But it's better not to do a ugly thing. So the way to balance done and perfect is precisely this sentence-"rather than do a semi-finished, not good half of the product," because, a semi-finished product will make people despair, and half of the good products will let people have expectations, this is the difference.

Focus on unchanging factors

Many companies and people are concerned about the upcoming big events. They are passionate about fresh hot stuff and chasing the latest trends and technologies.

This is a stupid road. Once you embark on this path, you will focus on the fashion, give up the essence, and focus on the changing things, not the permanent ones.

The core of your career should be built on the same foundation. You should invest in things that people need now and still need in ten years.

Remember, fashion fades. Only when you focus on the long-term function, you will find yourself holding on to the things that never fall behind.

Impression: More than a year ago, I talked about the fashionable "mobile internet" in "letters, startups and mobile internet", and said four directions: reading, sharing, electricity quotient, recommending/reminding. You can see now the subway is not like many people are reading newspapers, but many people are watching mobile phones. and the social (sharing and communication), E-commerce, and many recommendations, reminders are getting more and more hot. These things are all "constants"--10 years ago, and the next ten years, and we see a lot of people looking too much at mobile apps, not the same thing. Today there are two popular words, one is cloud computing, one is large data, those who hear these two words will be excited, I do not know that they really understand these two words? They really understand that cloud computing is the IT service that N had mentioned many years ago, about big data, and I have absolutely no idea why fire Would you be excited to hear that the Chinese population is 1.3 billion? The number of mice compared to this more, hehe. In fact, the data does not matter size, only good data and rotten data points, but also hot data and cold data points. Ten years ago there were two more popular words: One is the computational grid, one is the data grid, these two words have faded 5 years ago, today's cloud computing and large data, how many people realize what is connected, or what is the immutable factor? Big data and cloud computing are actually describing two things, One is a huge computational power, and the other is a service. Another word is "platform", this may be overlooked, through the platform for Computing and data Services, this is the computer has been basically the same thing, whether you are mobile Internet, or the Internet, whether it is cloud computing, or large data, need a platform to provide services.

Meeting Toxic

The most hateful interruption of the world is the meeting. The reason is:

The meetings are full of ideas and abstract concepts, mostly impractical.

There is little information that can be conveyed in meetings.

People tend to get sidetracked in meetings, and it's easy to lose track of a Chicago taxi in a blizzard.

The meeting asked for full preparation, but most people didn't have time to prepare for it.

The agendas of the meetings are often vague, and no one really knows what the goals are.

It is inevitable that there will be so one or two low energy speakers in the meeting, so everyone's time is wasted on their nonsense.

The meeting has the function of reproducing itself. A meeting can always lead to another, and then to export the next time, endless ...

Impressions: In addition to the "his dad's TDD" development model, as well as "fucking TMD" development, is team meet driven, many companies have too much to open, the meeting is basically a day to work the most important thing, for some managers have a week 80% Time is in the meeting. In fact, so many meetings do not mean that you are in the management, it means that you have no idea of what to control, you need to meet to understand. Many will be completely without issues, and we sit and ramble together, very, very inefficient. I usually call this the "fairy", in a popular language, is cloud meeting, everyone God wants to say each, it seems, there is no such form, can not prove the presence of participants, with the meeting to prove their existence, quite ridiculous. For me, if it's just a question or a few questions to meet, it's just a matter of talking, there is absolutely no need for a meeting if there are few alternative solutions to the problem and an assessment of the programmes. Amazon's meeting will not have PPT, the meeting organizer will have to discuss things to write and print out, before the Conference to the participants to discuss the things to be discussed, 10 minutes before the meeting, there is no sound, everyone is reading the document, all the people read, Directly to the issue of their own personal opinions should be how to do, and then quickly formed a consensus, the adjournment.

Everybody has to work.

In a small team, you need people who work, not supervisors. Everyone has to work, no one can stand by.

This means that you should avoid recruiting supervisory figures in your recruitment process, and these people like to be the ones to be told. A supervision type is a burden to a small team.

The supervisors also like to tow people to the meeting. In fact, meetings are the best friends of supervisors because they are only as important as they are in a meeting.

Feeling: Why there is office politics, that is because some people in this company do not work, do not work, so they have a lot of time to start thinking, they spend a lot of time is not how to do things, but how they can easily beat others to get the above recognition, so get promotion. In big companies This is a lot more than startup companies. So if you don't want to breed office politics, then you need to do two things, the first one is better not to become a big company, the first is to let everyone in the work. I recently saw its big company, although a lot of things are not standardized, and many things in the barbaric growth, some things are also a bit of soil, but most people are doing, so, as long as everyone in the work, even if the dry way is not good, dry out things have problems, also than those who breed office politics is hundreds of times times stronger

Refuse to copy & commercialize your product

Sometimes, following is also a learning process, as if students of the art department learn painting by copying the works of a gallery. When you are a student, this imitation is a very effective learning tool. Unfortunately, the imitation of the sound of commercial warfare is not to be seen. And that means you're going to build your career by being a follower or a copycat, which is doomed to be a failure model.

The problem with imitation is that simple copying kills deep understanding-and understanding stimulates growth. You have to know the reason why. And when you replicate, you ignore that. You just copy the surface, not the essence.

Once you become famous, the imitators will flock, this is life. But you can protect yourself from them in an excellent way: Make yourself part of a caricaturist product or service.

Impressions: I talked about this in plagiarism, Tencent, and products. Although I am disgusted with plagiarism and cottage, but I have to admit that this is a part of the world, good things are always copied, it is not necessarily a bad thing, it will make you more aware of what is the value of real products, what is the core competitiveness, You've got a little bit of a quick buck. You have to think about that bunch of copycats, and there's a lot of people with money and professional plagiarism. And faced with such things as plagiarism, the best solution is to focus on the long term rather than the short term--if you look at the short term, you will no doubt face a lot of plagiarism and imitators to get you out of the way, but if you focus on the long-term and do a product that takes a lot of effort to mature in 3-5 years, Those who are quick to success will be deterred, because the long-term does not match the values of the copycat.

Do less than your opponents

Traditional wisdom tells us that if we want to beat our competitors, we must win. If someone has 4 functions, you have to have 5 (or 15, 25). If someone spends $20,000, you have to spend $30,000. If someone has 50 employees, you need 100.

Such a cold War-style thinking of the Joneses will lead people to a blind alley. Once involved in an "arms race", you are stuck in an endless war that will cost you a lot of money, time and power. And put you in a long defensive battle. Companies that are in a defensive state have no foresight; they can only wake up, they can not lead, can only be followed.

So what should you do? Beat them less than your competitors. Let yourself to solve simple problems, the tangled, troublesome, difficult, nasty problems left to competitors to solve. Do not always want to win people, to surpass others, try the opposite approach.

Don't feel ashamed that your product or service isn't as flashy as someone else's. Make them eye-catching and proud. Sell your minimalist product just as your opponents have strong sales of their versatile products.

Feeling: One of the most typical examples is the ipad, which does less than laptop, is less than a netbook, is a very simple internet and simple game equipment, but he has a very simple user experience, so that two or three-year-old children and sixty or seventy-year-old people can quickly get started. Do you believe it? It took me years to teach my parents to use computers and other functions other than phone functions, but it took me 10 minutes to teach them to use the ipad. This is the power of "doing less than your opponents." Only the simple things, will appear more exquisite, will appear more professional.

Who cares what they're doing?

Anyway, it's not worth paying too much attention to your competitors. Why? Because too much attention to others can get you into trouble. What are they doing now? What are they going to do next? How do we respond?

Every little action will be analyzed. It was a terrible state of mind. This creates irresistible stress and anxiety. Such thoughts can breed bad things.

This is not a meaningful thing. The landscape of competitors is constantly changing. Your competitor will be one tomorrow. It's completely beyond your control. Is it meaningful to worry about things you can't control?

Focusing too much on competitors will confuse your vision. When you absorb other people's thoughts, your chances are reduced. You become reactionary rather than imaginative. You're just replacing your competitor's product with a package.

If you're going to do an "IPod killer" or "the next Pokemon", you're dead. You are acknowledging the parameters set by your competitor. You didn't jump out of Apple. They made the rules of the game. You can't beat the man who made the rules. You have to redesign a rule instead of a little bit of remodeling.

Feeling: This social impetuous place is that we are too much of the view of others, people than popular dead. Many of us have noticed the scenery of others, and see others venture capital see others found a good job, see others do not go straight and developed, see others are very easy to earn more, and even see other people's fans more than themselves, and so on, and so on, these things make their own mentality change, become very calm. Envy is also the devil, because the envy of the human mind distorted the case of less? Do not care what others have done, you should see what your strengths are, everyone has the road, you have to do is to follow their own rhythm and the way you are good, rather than kitten fishing.

Develop a habit of saying "no" to clients

It's easy to say "yes." It's easy to accept that agreeing on a new feature, agreeing to an overly optimistic deadline, accept a mediocre design. Soon, a lot of things you once said "yes" have a ripple effect, and many things you don't want are piled higher, even you can't see what you want.

Don't believe in words like "Customers are always right". If you are a chef, many of your guests say your cooking is too salty or too hot, you can change it. But if there are some picky patrons who want to add some bananas to the lasagna, don't worry about them. It's not worth destroying a product for the sake of a few customers.

Your goal is to make sure that your product is in tune with your product and that you are the most dependable fan of your product. You are the one who trusts it most. In that case, you would say: "I think you will love it too, because I love it." ”

Impression: Henry Ford said: "If I want to ask what my clients want, they will tell me they want a faster horse", so it is not a good thing to indulge the users, but it is a bad thing. The internet and television show the same evil KPI, electronic programs that evil KPI is the ratings, and the evil of the Internet KPI is traffic. So many companies start doing whatever it takes to get traffic, just as TV shows use vulgarity to boost ratings, and some of our Internet products use vulgar things to improve traffic. What we want to do is to have a quality product that is commendable, not a product that has only access.

Do not climb the client's high branch

Maybe you've seen a scenario where a customer throws a lot of money at a company. The company wants to please the customer as much as possible. In order to meet the customer's requirements and change their products, gradually, your product will be out of the general customer base.

And, suddenly one day, the big customer is gone, the company is burdened with a burden-the product is designed around a person who has left. And no one else can use it.

People are changing, the environment is changing, you can't meet all the demands of everyone. Companies need to be dedicated to a certain type of customer, not to a fickle customer.

Feeling: You always have to find your own positioning, you can not meet all the people. Like the fans of the Beijing Zoo wholesale market and the likes of the high handsome Beijing Lufthansa shopping malls, they are located in different users. Your product from the moment of birth should need to do a good job positioning, is the face of what kind of people. And you can't achieve the needs of everyone. Sometimes, losing some customers is not a bad thing, we have to do is to manage our customers, so that customers identify with us, rather than being led by customers.

One-night fame is just a legend.

You will not be in a hurry, you will not be rich overnight, you know the hearsay of the "overnight fame" story, Dig a little deeper, you can see these successful people before reaching the tipping point, have been in this direction for a long time languish.

The dream of a night's fame replaced by step growth action. The road is difficult, but you must be patient. You have to work hard to do it, you have to struggle for a long time before you meet Bole.

Feeling: This and I in the program algorithm and life to choose a text in the shortest path of the algorithm analogy, and its prospects to be what the architect or want to become a cow of the vision, as the next to see enough things to learn solid, excellent. One-night fame is just a legend, you know the cool shell is because I wrote ten years of blog, you know I was because I accumulated more than 10 years of programming, look at the cool shell before the introduction of Wang Ping classmate. Many things are not accidental, there are precursors, or the words I said before, "if one thing has not happened before, the future will not happen", for example: If you are in school, at work, your classmates and colleagues do not often come to you to ask your advice, Then you're basically hard to become a leader.

Employees are not 13 years old

When you look at employees as children, people act like children.

When everything in the company has to be submitted for approval, you create a brain-free culture. You have succeeded in creating a confrontation between the boss and the employee. The relationship growled: "I don't believe you!"

What benefits do you get when you restrict your employees, such as banning them from visiting external sites or deserting at work? People need to wander, which helps break the monotony of the day, and spend some time on YouTube or Facebook without losing anything.

If you want to monitor your employees, you have to think about how much time and money you spend to oversee your staff. How much did you waste to install surveillance software? How much human resources have you wasted to monitor employees? How much time did you waste to write rules that no one would read? Looking at these costs, you quickly find that distrust of employees is the biggest expense.

Feeling: I have always told my team members that the most effective management is to manage themselves, not to the people who are the experts to control you. Otherwise, you must be miserable. If you can manage your work and tasks, we don't need a project manager. If you can manage your way of doing things well, you don't need those processes. If you manage your program quality well, we don't need QA to supervise you ... Wait a minute. In fact, if you can manage yourself well, you can evolve yourself. You don't even need a manager. But you might need someone who runs errands for you, actually, that person is the manager.
