Product Manager Mentality explanation

An open mind, more: As a product manager or as a person should be: "To remove the shackles, remove dust-laden, open the heart, out of the self, to open up the way of thinking to analyze the problem, with an open vision to associate the environment, with an open mind to acquire knowledge."

Its effect is-general, good thinking change, open mind, wide na chuan.

This is an inclusive mentality, more: as a product manager or as a person should be: "Understand others, tolerance and common differences, to obtain trust." Put down the misunderstanding, stereotypes, put down the complaints and contradictions, with tolerant attitude tolerant others, in order to change the point of view of each other, with an open mind to pick up the weight.

Its effect is--swords, harmonious coexistence, enjoyable.

Before the "Product manager how to deal with people," read carefully will find that the essence is due to the different professional division of labor, knowledge background is not the same, the position of the station is not the same, do things different attitude, see the problem of the mentality is not the same. So natural product managers must have a lot of complaints at work.

Complain one: the product operation personnel, can understand some product.

Can understand a little product ah, every time engage in the activities of what bad strokes, many affect the perfection of the product AH. Each idea wants to be a, reliable also not a few, what all want products, technology to help you realize, if you know some products, I will not have to pay you every time that strength.

Complain two: The market talks about cooperation, careful. No, the product is wiping your butt.

BD too fooled, no matter whether the product has no support, in the outside and customers or partners blow the hype, real and people implement the implementation of the time, I want to scold dad criticisms, every time to wipe your butt. Every time you can slow down, steady point ah.

Complain three: The technical level is not good, what also cannot make.

Why people can make these all to make, our side of the technology are like big ye, then demand on the appearances, or evaluation of a half-day said we can not do it. Jiunangfandai, a good product design plan, just stuck in the hands of your grandchildren. Alas, tragedy.

Complain four: do test mm brain too dead, how to write what they are AH.

Do the test of MM, brain is too dead. What I write above, what. Do not ask 3,721 to press this test, the problem is quite many, actually think more about where so many problems ah. I scrupulous to write a comma in English or Chinese.

Complain five: That department of people, how old think to our that get good, don't think for us.

That department of people too disgusting, what can want to put in my product, insert a foot, we when the treasure plate, ah, that your product how to dial the clean? Also give us the entrance, Guide point user Ah.

Many times we always complain, will blame each other, so we feel the communication is very difficult Ah, coordination is very difficult ah. Another level after all, everyone has their own way of thinking, so the real formation of the tacit understanding of the work is very difficult. The product manager complains to colleagues in his department, or to colleagues in other departments, and a colleague from another department complains to colleagues in his department or colleagues in other departments.

This is a normal thing, so what we can't avoid is contradictions, because people can't think surprisingly, and we don't have a leader to let our minds rise to believe in each other's religious beliefs. Because we ourselves because of different positions, because different positions exist, it will cause you to stand on the point of view of the problem is not the same angle. In addition, we are different from people, so we can not ask you how, or he must do.

Although we can't avoid the contradiction, but we can better to avoid contradictions, resolve contradictions. Everything out of the mind, no evil out of people, we have solved the gap between people difficult to overcome, natural many problems naturally solved. Many of your preconceptions about us are naturally eliminated. At this time of need? Demand we have an inclusive heart, objectively out of the self to look at themselves, another angle to analyze each other.

Above the truth, I may be 5 years old, I know. But over the past more than 20 years, I found that I did not do too well. Recently, I have also been reflecting on why, "from the knowledge to the line" so difficult? is not a simple sentence: "Put aside misunderstandings, stereotypes, put down the complaints and contradictions, with an inclusive attitude towards others!" Later I found that this sentence has been hidden a prerequisite, is: "Understanding others." Many times we will think so, even if we probably know the reason but still can not do, is not to understand others.

Out of a window, outside is a bluer day. Then put the above lightly listed several complaints, one. It is absolutely common for a product manager to be able to complain, because he only acts as a "craftsman" in product form and product function design. First of all he was not aware of his own problems, his own positioning. Product high-speed development to what, operation, market cooperation Ah! That's right, how can you feel bad if you have a business and market colleague who helps you develop your product? Similarly, who do you value to help you be protected?-think about it, whether it's technology, testing, interaction or vision. All people are together to help you achieve the big goal, so the product manager's attitude itself is not right. Did not want to understand, but a bit of the Wolidou.

A lot of times we talk about the transposition of the formula, you do not know how to move to where, it becomes very empty. Similarly, if you've tried a lot of posts, carefully observe their pain, or you help them work overtime, together to test, interaction, cut the page together, write code, change bugs, work around the project overtime, is not you can more or less understand how they think? For example: Test mm is dead brain, If people have a lot of ideas about business, is not the product manager? In addition to the details of the return is the responsibility of testers, you should thank her, so careful, for our users;

Technology can not achieve, then you ask in the end what link is not implemented? is the value of the technology business not high, or does the technician not recognize your needs? or is your communication not in place?-the most annoying is the specific reasons for not positioning themselves to whom to buckle the hat, the same operations, other departments of colleagues, or Perhaps they want to be relatively simple, in fact, from the implementation level, is also the normal. After all, the operation is still data speech, indicators speak. The product logic of things to consider no product so much.

There is a word on the Internet, "product manager is cannon fodder", in fact, whether it is written, or spread people, mostly still stay in the painting gourd and metaphysical degree. The topic retract, will discover learns to tolerate the heart, can stand to each other's angle ponder the question, depends on whether you have attentively to ponder, the experience: different position standpoint, different knowledge background everybody universal inner world. Depending on you, experience, or experience, and another aspect of inclusiveness does require us to be tolerant of the face of other people's mistakes, mistakes, principles of others, give others the opportunity.

No matter in the product road, or on the road of life, we will certainly make a lot of mistakes, experience is to step on our wrong track a little bit of accumulation, life is actually a kind of encounter, a small and large accumulation. Looking back so many years to do products, I actually made a lot of mistakes, a few friends let me thank the company to give me the opportunity to practiced, think about it. Did P4P system or PPC system, or made a lot of problems, but at that time, no one can figure out where the specific problems, one day I made progress, found the problem where, so occasionally repent.

There is a foreign word called "Original sin", presumably many people have been guilty of the same, now still committed, no one is perfect. So we have to know how to redeem ourselves, in a small sense, at least we must learn to tolerate others. Most of the time people make mistakes unintentionally. I slowly feel that some people around the situation will make mistakes, but sometimes they are so unintentional, they do not know. Occasionally "offended" you, why do you care so much. Believe that learned to tolerate the mentality, can let you less tangled, calm, calm, very good to do daily product work.
