Before, in my short-sighted world, I always felt that bosses were also flesh and blood. They will also love their deployments like us, have collective honor like us, and pursue the joy of teamfighting like we do, until my eyes widen.
This world is really wonderful and magical. Its wonder and magic lies in the fact that humans of the same race have completely different ideas and ways of dealing with problems. After living among the same kind of people for a long time, you will feel that people in the world are no different from me. In fact, you should walk around and see, it is very different.
Finally, I've found humans who are extremely rational, and unfortunately they all seem to be "successful". Of course, I don't know if it is really successful, who knows their joys and sorrows every day, and who knows if the girls are very satisfied with their 24-hour life status.
The criterion of extreme rationality for judging things is whether this thing has the greatest possibility of success. When there is a conflict between human feelings and things, the scale will always fall to the other side of the matter. By calculating the possibility of success, successful people are willing to sacrifice those brothers who have carried guns and shed blood together and fought together. Haven't seen a lot of cold-blooded and successful characters, cold-blooded seems to be really easy to succeed.
Reminds me of the talent manipulation technique mentioned in Jack Welch's "Winning": affirming personal feelings and ruthlessly laying off incompetent people. Thinking about this approach now requires a lot of preconditions: enough candidates, willing to bear the cost of layoffs, and being able to really distinguish between public and private.
Whether the company operates like a machine or like a big family is a question worthy of continuous observation and reflection.
Compared with the extreme rationality of successful businessmen and professional managers, artists need extreme sensibility. Really, I think the biggest names are to be proud, to be brilliant, to go to extremes, to be different, and to have style. Artists can fail to keep up with the times, they can misread the direction of development of things, and they can stick to old rules. Only in this way they are a rare species on this planet.
Yesterday I went to the Tai Chi tea ceremony. The owner has changed from having the largest number of tea houses to relying only on tea art training. It seems that his achievements in this field are not as successful as his status in this field, but I think this is a real artist. He has a philosophy of striving for excellence, and because of that, it's even a little bit inflexible. He insists on choosing a site in a place where tickets are collected such as Hangzhou Flower Garden, he adheres to the old rules of the seniority of masters and apprentices, he follows the five-element structure of gold, wood, water, fire, soil and shopkeepers in management, and he pays attention to technical ability. These persistence and attention have caused him to suffer a lot in the market game with other teahouses and cafes, but he is so persistent, even if the store is closed, even if the wealth shrinks. Those who have this style are artists.
It seems that there are two routes of technology and management in general career development. Some people eventually become outstanding talents in technology, and some people eventually become powerful roles in management. It's really different, really, technical masters tend to be the ones who follow their temperament and go to the extreme, and management masters always remind me of one word: human twist. Of course, not the derogatory use of the word itself.
Technical geniuses obey their own temperament and are willing to invest endlessly and use all their time and energy for the cause they love, so they always seem crazy, but they don't think so. Forgot who said it, the most powerful programmers are autistic tendencies, the overall observation is not unreasonable. People have more enthusiasm for craftsmanship, and naturally they have less enthusiasm for research and sophistication. Generally speaking, energy investment determines core competitiveness, which is in line with objective laws.
The masters of management practice are often "negative cases" of "distorting human nature". People who love to get people done must always start from the thoughts and feelings of others and gain insight into human nature in order to be effectively motivated. In order to satisfy others, you have to transfer your excitement. If the natural excitement is in the wrong place, you have to rely on acquired "painful distortion" to achieve it.
Therefore, artists and technologists are a separate type of people in the classification of species. They are glorious and they are sad. From the day they were born, it was like being destined. It is precisely because of this "defect" that their glory is admired and loved, and their sadness is touching and sympathetic. It's a wonderful thing.
