In fact, I watched this movie for the third time, and I watched it again last week. This time I watched it from the perspective of management.
For a while, I didn't know how to start writing. To be honest, I liked this movie very much before, she was very inspirational, and what I liked more was that the movie has many clever transitions, especially the first few scenes. The girls went out, and the scenes of Andrea's changing clothes after the change of clothes made me think that the rhythm and music work well together.
In fact, the Malinda in this film is the prototype of Anna winter, editor-in-chief of "vogue". To be honest, I also like the brand Prada very much, this brand. Everyone knows that among the big brands that are rampant now, each brand has its own style, focus and route. Louis Vuitton develops new products according to the market, while Gucci does its best to exert its brand reputation. PRADA is different. Miuccia plays with technology, scientific research, aesthetics and philosophy: developing technical fabrics, building houses and building buildings, and supporting others to build buildings. That's what made me want to see this movie in the first place.
Hey, I feel like I have typed a lot of words without getting to the point. I feel like I have to keep writing. I may not be able to write anything about management... I feel like I can't write it every time I start, in fact I just wanted to write a little bit that is not the surface of the film that everyone understands. I wanted to diverge my thinking, look at the problem from multiple angles, and decided to give it a try.
Except for the protagonist's name, I don't remember the names of other people very clearly, I hope it will not affect everyone's reading.
At the beginning of the film, Andrea wants to fight for her job by relying on her education and works. She admits that she is not a beautiful and fashionable girl, but she will work hard to do the job well, and she is accepted. This point, I think It is also eclectic in the workplace. People who do not follow the trend are more likely to be seen by others, but they need more strength, or they will not be able to knock on the door.
At the beginning of the film, we see another female assistant of Malinda. She arranges Malinda's personal affairs every day. It is very trivial and has many projects. She remembers it very comprehensively every time. I remember the first time I saw Andrea at work for the first time. Answering the phone and asking others how to spell it, it can be seen that he was not ready to go to work at first, at least she did not first understand the knowledge of the industry she was doing. But slowly getting started, in fact, from here we can see the difference between another female assistant and Andrea.
It is repetitive labor. Repetitive labor refers to those tasks that are mainly done manually, such as delivering food, positioning, or work that involves a small amount of mental effort, such as delivering magazine manuscripts to Malinda every day, arranging drivers, etc. . We saw that at the beginning of the column, Andrea was in a hurry at first, and then another girl was in a hurry.
The repetitive work day after day, the work is getting more and more skilled, but the growth is getting slower and slower. That female assistant is like that, the job is very skilled, but it doesn't grow, so the girls she interviewed didn't stay in the end, but we saw Andrea stay, and a lot of work she would want to do before her boss, For example, in the Harry Potter manuscript, I made an appointment for a coffee shop by phone. I think this is a thoughtful work. I think this is what many companies want employees to look like, and we often encounter such employees and such similar conversations in the real workplace.
Me: Let's organize this file and save it.
Him: Okay, do you think this is okay?
Me: Yes, delete the unnecessary paragraph in it.
Him: Okay, do you think this is okay?
Me: ok, print it out
Him: Print it out, is that ok?
Me: Okay, put a cover on it, fix it, then put this clip up and give it to me.
Him: It’s so troublesome, you should explain it to me at one time, so I don’t have to run so many times.
Me: It's just one thing to explain to you, and I'll remind you over and over again if you haven't finished it.
It is also a part-time job. Some people's growth will inevitably encounter a ceiling, while some people's career development is a curve with a much steeper slope.
The job of a female assistant is also a lot of repetitive work, but Andrea, in addition to completing her own work, she has developed the ductility of her own work. She knows the editor writer at work. , adding thoughtfulness and personalization to "repetitive labor." She sent her own article to that writer. It also brings added value to itself.
This world belongs to people who have a heart. The difference between people is that most of the time, it is not who has a background or who is smarter than who, but who is more attentive than who. I think Andrea is very attentive, she not only has a foothold The current single job, colleagues have increased the value of her outreach services, and I believe she must have met more people and opportunities in Malinda's work arrangement.
So what about us? Faced with the work at hand, do you follow the conventional routine every time, do it, and let it go, or do you do everything possible to find resources "outside the system" to help you complete the task? I think she gave us the answer.
There are also some details, that is, the ability to be instrumentalized. In fact, I think Andrea has effectively arranged her own work in this way. I have seen that many of her work are arranged by telephone. If many things are done by herself, She will be in a hurry like when she first started. If it can be solved with tools, it can effectively shorten our repetitive work.
Finally, I think that in the workplace, if we can resource our own value, I think our value will be expanded and influential.
Just looking at Malinda, I actually admire her. Everyone in the circle knows that the value created by a person like Malinda can no longer be described only by "ability", but by another word: "resource"
Even being his assistant, like when the makeup artist was teaching Andrea, a lot of people wanted to be Malinda's assistant, because being her assistant makes it easy to get what you want. This is Malinda's halo effect, which is producing a multiplier effect on team formation. Many industry leaders are inquiring about Malinda's recruitment channels.
This suddenly reminded me of a sentence I read before, and I can't remember who said it. "The real influence and leadership of the characters lies in the fact that after they leave the platform label, there are still a large number of talented people chasing them."
The ultimate goal of a person's advancement in the workplace is to rely on tools to free up his time, learn to call resources outside the system, expand the value extension, and finally let his own value be shared by resources.
At that time, what you sell is no longer the time that cannot be copied, but the various resources attached to you.
At the end of the film, I also thought that the one who got divorced and would be replaced by a position, I would also be very worried like Andrea. At that time, I thought Andrea was really a good person, and I was nervous for her. I hope She hurried to tell Malinda to find a way to turn the tide, I think maybe Malinda's way of turning the tide is not the way Andrea thought, but I still admire it.
I also appreciate Andrea's pursuit of her own heart at the end. I think this level is very high, and it is also the happiest way for me, but how do I know that Malinda is not happy? I think it is also very real, everything is within my own expectations, I think she is the one who can make her own decisions early on.
Whenever you want to change jobs or go it alone, let out the wind and you can receive olive branches thrown around. Andrea is like this. I have also learned here. In fact, it is a good thing to strive for benefits for her boss. At least her platform and resources are not yours, but if she works hard, he will give her. you pay back
Strive to be a person who no longer has "repetitive work" and only has "scarce value", I think I should keep working hard to change my current self.
