The team is the team, because of the power of collaboration

In Saturday, the company a line of 13 people went to Shenzhen Wang gang to climb the valley. As the first time I was involved in a hiking trip, the inspiration for this trip was so great that I thought of a lot about the product and the team. Talk less and share it with you.

This climb gives me the feeling as if is doing a product, team 13 people encounter various twists and turns finally boarded the valley, the difference is: The valley has the end, and the product only survive or die.

No matter how good your idea is, design a great product and ultimately leave it to the team to execute. The end result of the product is actually determined by the team itself. Core team is a product of the soul, is a product of the gene. For entrepreneurship, the team is particularly important, product failure does not matter, as long as the team is still in various trial and error will always make a successful product.

One, on this road, you can only move forward, can not retreat

There are a few very difficult places to climb in this valley, especially the more rugged roads to the heights. In the course of the climb we talked about the possibility of going on, but finally found that it was more difficult to retreat than to advance because the brook was formed from the stream, the road was very smooth, and with the gravity of man, it was more laborious to retreat than to go forward.

Isn't this the process of making a product? When the project starts, it means that the entire product team can only continue to move forward, product development, team members in a variety of situations to get different degrees of ascension, open the bow without turning arrows. You can't do it halfway when you suddenly tell your partner I can't do it, you just have to bite your teeth and move on until you reach your limit.

No one tells you whether this road is right or not.

In the Climb Brook Valley, we also once lost, confused should go to which way? Confused should go from left to right or go around from the right-hand side. So, a few of us boys started to scout until we found a way. As a product, no one until the product is successful, can only continue to explore, especially in the face of the transformation of products. We need to continue to envision different transition scenarios and verify the correctness of the roads through small-scale testing. With luck, you may explore several possible routes, but how do you choose? You have to have your own bottom line, just as we chose to climb the line to be safe and easy to pass. Product direction also need to consider their own risk tolerance, if sufficient resources, if enough time, you can walk together more than one leg, like Tencent; If the resources are limited, then you can only choose the direction you can withstand or teeth spell.

At the same time, don't forget the power of exploration. A product can only support a company short-term operation, not a mature company to do only one product, so don't forget to explore.

Third, the team is the team, only because of the power of collaboration

A line of 13 people, there are men and women, there is a good physical strength, there are more rich climbing experience, the strength of relatively weak, there are relatively careless members. Especially in the face of the road, we can only hand one helping to pass only a short span of 50 meters of the line.

In this clear division of society, many organizations, especially large organizations, there is a bloated problem, why is bloated? Because collaboration is difficult to carry out in large organizations, communication costs are high. So you will find that the bud of a good product is basically born in a small team, if the start-up of a team with more than 50 people at the beginning of the team, or the big company's key projects and the project is very complex, need a lot of manpower to operate. Or it is nonsense, vainly tried to win the market with tactics. But the internet market tells us that a good product needs only one product, one operation, one design plus several technology development.

There are two key points to teamwork, and it feels important. One is to find the key point, only to find the key point to tide over the difficulties, the second is to help members through the key points, this is the core of teamwork. Because the division of labor is different, the member experience and the ability difference, this time specially needs the team member's assistance. Of course, some people say that since the capacity of members is not enough, it should be eliminated. But many times when you recruit a new member, the time you get into the team is often more expensive and risky than the cost of raising an older member. Because new members don't necessarily agree with team values.

Four, sometimes may as well stop, look at the scenery along the way

This section has nothing to do with the team, but the climbing valley. The whole climb process about four hours, halfway encountered a lot of situation, but the climbing process found that people can not always go forward, the total need to stop halfway, restore physical strength, look at the scenery along the way, for the next time to do their due reserves. This is like a person's career, it is impossible to always busy, constantly running, and constantly working. It always takes a while to stop and think, to reflect, and even to relax. Suddenly found that friends all like to travel through the way of career change, Black went to a trip to Tibet, Zhou Go to Lijiang, other friends more or less in the next journey before going to another strange place, stay 10 days eight days, and then come back, the things are not figured out to understand, and then continue to sail. And this time the sail is more powerful than the past. This should be the power to stop.
