What is the key to making a good product?

Yesterday, Zhou a review of the lost Jobs interview in Weibo, excerpted from Jobs ' 1995 documentary about his views on teamwork, talent, products, and processes. This comment is very important to step on the point, the cause of awakening. The main views are as follows:

1. The team that will make the noise, will grind out the beautiful stone

In his 1995 interview, Jobs mentioned the story an old gentleman once asked jobs to weed the lawn, show jobs his garage grinder, throw ordinary, old, humble stones into jars, pour some water, add some grit, turn on the motor, and open the jar the next day with stunning, gorgeous stones. That would have been just ordinary stone, after rubbing each other, each other, making a little noise, the result turned into a beautiful smooth stone.

This story, in fact, not only to talk about momentum, but a life reason. A team that works for the ideal brings together a bunch of talented partners who collide, argue, or even make noise, which makes some noises, but in the process of working, they make the other person better, and the idea gets better, and it finally produces these beautiful results.

Old week evaluation said: Allow Quarrel and noise, in fact, let employees have the opportunity to accept the process of sharpening, this is a typical good corporate culture. There are a lot of business disregard, no arguments, and eventually decline, because the leadership has no idea what's going on down there. When a company is starting a business, Zhou spends a lot of time arguing and colliding with the team, and his approach is the same as Steve Jobs's, since the choice of cooperation is a very important person, since value, will continue to challenge, find problems, point out problems and help improve.

2. Genuine Category A talent, the most need to respect is their talent and work performance

Really, the real category A talent does not need you to protect his self-esteem, the real value should be work performance. The mutual affection between the real strong is never because of who is good, or the treatment is good, but because the other person also has the talent, and that kind of talent also shines.

All respected people, none of them because of their talent and contribution, they rely on the high level of expertise to be admired or worshipped. This is a strength for the king of the world, never people because of their origin or position, such as reputation, the whole industry has been respected status of the lake.

Respect for talent, respect for performance, is really cherish only. Pursue excellence, not perfection. Because the pursuit of the perfect result is to cut long board, doomed mediocrity. The essence of the real employment is the talent.

Once two experience of this experience unforgettable, a project after the development of data is always wrong, after one months of bickering, just really find the problem, made a difference. But in fact, until the opening of the slit, to find the source of the improvement. But the problems revealed are more serious and terrifying. And the other is because of the fierce quarrel, only to promote a better scheme of production, afterwards, the party regrets, if not so fierce dispute, will not produce such a good thing.

Good ideas become good products and require a lot of processing. Real Magic uses 5,000 ideas to grind out a product, the grinding process is intense and painful, but as long as the results are good, everything is worth, all the pain of the past has vanished, because through this, everyone has become stronger.

People have inertia, fear of difficulties, fear of pain, fear of change, fear of conflict, fear of exposing their weaknesses, people are eager to the favorable weather, longing for ease, longing for harmony. But Ang Lee said: "Afraid of the strength, fear will increase vigilance."

The team should be like the stone grinding machine collision, controversy, noisy, not afraid of conflict, and finally to produce good ideas, can push things forward. "Destruction" and "subversion" is not a bad word, if Bupobri, without courage and boldness, there is no way to innovate, to achieve progress, change the world.

Old Zhou is right, challenging, subversive people in China's current environment is difficult to survive, because we do not see. From another point of view, the challenge, subversion of the spirit of the people themselves is a huge challenge, because relatively few people have such talent, and there is no such strong self-confidence and a good mind to manage such a challenge.

The book of fruitful managers mentions: If the manager is more concerned about what the subordinates can't do than what they can do, it will deliberately avoid the shortcomings, regardless of their strengths, such as the manager himself is a weak person, he will even regard the strengths of others as a threat to himself. But no manager has ever hurt himself because his subordinates are competent and effective. With regard to the competence and effectiveness of the manager, the American steel industry's ancestors Carnegie in the epitaph of the evil of a sentence can be said to be a good note-the people lying here, know how to make the ability than their own strong people under his hands to play a full role.

3. The key to making a good product is to find the right answer.

Zhou said: "Many people think that the success of the process, there must be a wonderful place, so they began to try to make the success of the year into a system." Some companies have the best system managers, but they forget that the purpose of the design process is to find the best answer. Does a lot of people have such a pain point?

The best people can get the best answers, but they are the hardest to manage and you have to tolerate them. And find the answer--that's the key ingredient of a good product.

Really good product people, have the idea of ideas, will be a problem day and night to think, unremitting efforts, until the right answer to deliberate. Such people need to persevere in quality, there is the courage and determination to overcome difficulties and hardships, in order to achieve excellence in the other shore.

As Google's former CEO Schmidt said: "For a good leader, it's important to work on getting the right answer and how to do it in the right way." No matter what the middle process, as long as they can get the correct answer, can win people's respect. There will certainly be conflicts in this process, and there are many ways to solve them. There is no way to outdo others without conflicts and contradictions. Because there is no conflict, or at least conflicting ideas, it does not produce the best ideas. ”

The motivation of a type of talent is for an ideal, for the realization of self-worth, they are very creative, which is the source of value and promote development. But sometimes it does cause some trouble. If you really need management, just return to the point: maximize their creativity and keep their creativity around the company's business goals.

This is like being surrounded in combat, can not fight the life of the attack from all sides, that is only in the busy, and finally will be killed, because their defensive line can not be unassailable. The true approach is to develop strategies based on the situation, to choose what you are best at and the weakest part of the other, and to move forward with a tear, so that the attack is naturally left behind.

However, it is a pity that the real good product manager's role is general, but if not to give sufficient strength and fodder, empty oneself a matchless martial arts, is unable to siege pull the village, open the Xinjiang extension soil.

The best product managers in China are limited to have the ability to master the resources of the boss, if not to do reasonable authorization, the ordinary product manager is only a mouthpiece and screws, light has responsibility, no power, the main job is wishy-washy, who are not to see. Project success no one admits is mainly because of you, failure but to the top of the board, a variety of splint gas, do not generals killed Gold beach so solemn and stirring.

4. A good team does not consist in managing processes, but in forming the power of organic integration.

Old Zhou quoted Ang Lee's words: everyone in their hearts crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. This actually embodies a respect for the talents of other individuals, very rare. A lot of people are just blindly worshipping jobs, most of whom are envious of Mr. Jobs's achievements. And old Zhou really appreciate the talent of jobs, so he will say: Jobs has a spirit of unwilling mediocrity throughout, the respect for talent, the user's thoughtfulness, the pursuit of innovation, life is based on this. Indeed, it is difficult to really understand this phrase without the experience of enterprise operation and deep thinking.

Hou Xiao Qiang forwarding Zhou 祎 article said: "Companies always have to make the perfect decision, which in itself is particularly bad things." The wrong decision is more important than the decision. Pursuing efficiency is more important than avoiding risk. The chaos ahead is more important than the perfect stagnation. The decision of a front-line presence is more important than always making the right decision. ”

The real good team is not a harmonious unity of the main theme, the real idea should be to form an organism, stronger and more powerful than the individual. The role of the team is not to accumulate some of the ability to do the same level of addition, it is only the mob, but the integration of some of the skillful craftsmen do multiplication, together to create a greater energy future.

The team is like a team, so that the coordination between individuals as the body structure of the same organic combination, strict, flexible and complete, more combat effectiveness. The management force cannot fear conflict because of fear of mutiny. Like Ang Lee's film and Sigfrier Sasson's poetry: "I have a tiger in my heart, sniffing the rose, look at my heart, dear friends, you should tremble, because there is your original face." ”

Has been relatively blunt people, with the passage of time, slowly found their talent show, that feeling very much like "thousands of scouring million, although hard, blowing crazy sand began to gold."
