Share several ideas that may be helpful to entrepreneurs

1. Different leadership and management skills

"The people who trust you or are inspired by you until finally you are willing to do something for you." Great leaders rely on leadership and intuition. When faced with challenges, great leaders know what to do about them and what their consequences are.

Vines stresses that management and leadership, albeit related, are actually very different. Leadership is an art, and management is a method used to solidify leadership. "Leaders make money by applying their judgment, method, and intelligence to the information they are in. If it's a purely data-driven organization, enter algorithms directly and the system will automatically give you the results."

The idea that great managers may not necessarily be great leaders resonates with me. A great leader is able to get a team born and die with him for common goals and beliefs. Great leaders also know how to use the resources at hand to produce the best results.

Self-awareness

"It's almost impossible to truly recognize yourself, be it an organization or an individual."

Vines described his past experiences and exemplifies that it is extremely difficult for both individuals and organizations to truly understand themselves. His team spends a great deal of time learning about threats and opponents from outside but does not have a real-time, clear picture of themselves. As a result, he has made a number of painful changes to ensure that he and his team have a real-time and clear awareness of themselves as possible.

It is crucial for leaders to be leaders who have a clear understanding of themselves and their company. I often see some CEOs and leaders who live in their own hands. Leaders need to constantly improve their self-awareness and have a clear and accurate understanding of the individuals and the company as a whole.

3. Predict the risks can be avoided, but it is difficult to do everything

Vines said it used to spent a lot of time assessing the risk for a mission. It's hard to think about everything, sometimes it takes a lot of time to plan, the result is an unexpected incident, and everything else is going to change.

This phenomenon is also common in companies. They usually like to constantly do various projects in the office, but then have to make changes because of emergencies. In this way, the time and manpower invested in the past were put to rest. Naturally right plan, but leaders should always be prepared to deal with unexpected problems.

4. The larger the more complicated, the leader needs to spend "human" body time should be more

As the organization grows bigger, Vines can spend less time with everyone. Still, he spends most of his time communicating and communicating with other leaders to ensure that everyone has a shared vision and goals.

"I think leadership should be" eyes on, hands off ". As a result, Vines often holds high-level video conferencing to discuss macro-level directions and strategies. He said: "As long as an organization has a clear goal, middle-level people will come up with a corresponding practical strategy." And once they understand the ideas and logic behind the action, the order does not actually need to be communicated at all levels.

Your intuition as an entrepreneur may be: As the company grows, you need to spend more time doing what you are good at. But my advice is to spend more time with all the team to help them all get better, than to build on their strengths. Spend more time with your employees, and in turn, you become a great leader in the minds of your employees and your company, rather than being a micro-manager.

Self-respect and self-blame

The time I spent with Vines gave me a clearer picture of the similar leadership qualities of entrepreneurs and military personnel. Vines concluded by saying, "If you look in the mirror every day, you can say to yourself:" I have done my best to minimize the risk, "and you will not feel guilty and reproached, but if you have something stubborn, You lazy, not serious enough, then you have to pay the price for their own fault.
