How product managers improve execution is effective

When we saw that the ground was dirty, we wanted to sweep the ground, and then we went to get the floor to sweep the broom, clean the ground, and this is the implementation.

aims

In the implementation process, we must first confirm the goal:

Have a clear, measurable, measurable goal

First you have to figure out what is your goal? - The goal here is to sweep the ground clean.

What is your goal to meet or what is the problem?

The need to be satisfied here - clean the ground; the problem solved here - clean the dirty ground.

way

In fact, it is often implemented through certain methods or channels.

What is your means? - Here, it is likely to be simple: need to take a broom, and then to sweep.

The route is simple as long as you take a tool (broom) to do it.

Resources

What if the goal of resources or tools gone?

Not any resources are readily available, it will appear in front of you when you need it.

This time you found no broom at home how to do?

Then go make a broom to put! At this time you have to pay attention to, in order to achieve a goal, you have a small goal. Perhaps this little goal to get a broom, is your pre-condition to complete the sweep.

Well, buy a lot of money, or go to borrow a nearby. Access to the resources needed is also a very important step.

Because access to resources is somewhat manageable - controllable scenarios are like me having money to buy, or people around me who are willing and willing to support me. But if you do not have the money and others will not lend you, what should you do? Do you want to find a solution?

Another scenario, you may find you need to achieve the goal, not only the support of goods resources, but also the need for human resources support. Suddenly you find that the sweeping area is very large, not just one room but one floor. You sweat sweat certainly does not work, then how to do. This time, there is a need to coordinate a lot of people with you sweeping the floor, it is possible to sweep clean.

communication

A person doing things is very simple, think, and then do it on the line. However, with the expansion of the scope for achieving the goal, the coordination requirements for achieving the target resource are very large. Just said, you need to coordinate a lot of people to go sweeping with you. This time the problem has come again, everyone's thoughts are the same, want to let different people and you accomplish a common goal, become unusually difficult.

1) The idea is that everyone's understanding is different

2) is that everyone's attitude toward this matter is different

3) is that everyone's perspective on this issue is not the same

4) is that everyone's interest in this matter is not the same

More people, the target area has become larger. Many people do not fully understand this specific goal. Some people have previously swept the floor. They think they have cleaned the floor. Many people used to clean the windows. They thought the windows were clean for them. So you have to bar them effectively organized, both to complete the professional division of labor, but also to see the overall problem.

So you have to communicate a lot of people, so that they and your ideas and goals. For example: to sweep proud, not ashamed. But also let everyone fully understand the goals and status quo, so that we can better each other with each other, in order to achieve good. Communication is over, found that there are still many problems behind the things.

Strategy

Easy to do things, in fact, less need for strategy. But complex things are in great need. For example: the scope of sweeping is expanded by a building. We already know that our goal is to finish this building. However, in the end how to scan? Sweep to the top below, or swept to the top below? This series of issues in the implementation process has been masked out.

It is possible that a building, not all floors are occupied, it is also possible, often dirty place is just a public lobby, elevators, walkways. The cleaning requirements for safety ladders are not that high. So different sweeping program, seemingly achieved the effect is also very different, this time you have to assess the specific business scenarios, develop strategies. Is it right? People should be more than sweeping sweeping places, where fewer people routine sweeping is not one hundred thirty-five sweep, two hundred forty-six sweep, not to sweep Sunday. Slowly according to the experience of sweeping, you can abstract the sweeping program suitable for this building rules come.

team

The difficulty of implementation is closely linked to the clarity and completeness of the target. As we said before, "sweeping the floor and sweeping the floor of a building" are all very clear goals. But if we find that the final goal is to "put this Local health clean up ", this time the target has become very blurred. In the end what is the standard hygiene is clean? So everyone in the team can not agree on this goal.

In a good team, you may find that the performance of different people is still very different.

1) A lot of people are what you say, what he is doing

2) a lot of people are you give him a mission or plan, he can have a certain amount of space to play well;

3) A lot of people think he will have his own ideas, and then play a subjective initiative to give you solutions to tell you how to get the cleaning team will be more economical and effective.

The first type of people are artisans, there is no thought; the second type of people is the backbone, one thing you give him rest assured; the third type of people is the core, thinking, and then will give you the program. Finally, it is likely that you outsourced the building to a third category of people and then let the second category of people do the management. The first category of people do specific things, and it is best to sweep the floor cleanly and cleanly. Get it clean This is the implementation of the process of understanding of the team.

to sum up

The executive ability of the product manager, in fact, is also very simple. Many people complain about hard, really hard?

1) Many people think the boss is the leader, not mine. Then I ask you, have you tried to scrutinize and agree on the goal? Or have each company been shot dead and you have to do it?

In fact, I do not believe you have good ideas, you can also implement a good program, and told superiors, tell the company, you can try. 100% will be killed because of the dictatorship.

Difficult - certainly hard, do not want the product manager? Or hiring product manager asked why so high?

We are the soul of the product, not just the puppet.

2) There are many other times when the goal is mostly for you. Everyone is better to see is difficult to do more is to complain. Complaining is the most useless thing. What are we going to do? It is better to understand the goal. Then there is a little bit of strategy and strategy to realize this goal in the final stage. Can prove the value, often this process is your time to achieve self-worth.

3) There are always differences between reality and goal. Many people product manager of the environment and resources, methodological understanding are not deep enough, the other is more one-sided. So more shows that doing things without goals, thinking empty, not landing, the understanding of the goal is not profound, the implementation of the strategy did not coordinate and promote the resources have problems. The concept of process and time is not strong enough to think of the operation of the environment and resources. Becoming a winner - Do not give yourself many reasons and excuses to explain why it has become so.

4) In essence, want to say: product manager to exercise is not what ability, but should exercise is the way of thinking. Grasp the essence and laws of things, stand in other people's point of view can be accepted to make factual reasoning, and then continue to practice through their own experience is the king.
