The ability of outstanding people to recognize problems and do things right in "two steps"
It is very important to grasp the ability to HE Tuber understand problems. If you want to do something and do it successfully, you first need to take action. This article will share with you how to achieve your goals by doing two things. I hope you can gain something.
I often hear people ask at work: How to solve this problem?
A very important point for people in the workplace is the ability to think independently. The process and quality of thinking determine how to do things correctly.
I focus on how to think and analyze, from understanding the problem to defining and solving it. In this process, I think independently and use the "two-step" method to do things right.
1. Understanding and practice of problems
When encountering problems at work, the first thing to do is to find sources of high-quality information, collect a large amount of information efficiently , and have a process of repeated understanding of the problems to be solved .
Everyone has a moment of inspiration every day. These inspirations are fleeting and may be difficult to recall if they are not recorded.
Before the rise of the Internet, many people were accustomed
to carrying a pen and a notebook with them to record moments of inspiration. With the continuous enrichment and understanding of the recording process, they had a perceptual understanding of the problem, and further integrated and analyzed it. Gradually form a rational understanding of the problem after thinking, judging and choosing.
After you have a rational understanding of the problem, you need to find the key points and solve the problem in a targeted manner (concentrate resources on one point). Remember not to spread the problem everywhere, the result will definitely not be good, because your time, energy, and resources are all limited.
If you do not collect enough information at the beginning,
you will understand and define the problem in a narrow sense. There are many such examples in reality.
When the middle management dismantles the higher-level goals, they only focus on the indicator results (how much money can be divided). They say: "I only look at the results." They completely ignore the user's habits and ideas, and look at all problems short-sightedly.
Objective analysis and thinking, focusing on going down to the front line to observe, analyze and solve, will help to grasp the essence of things.
Many people who make products have experienced the storm and received a wave of dividends from the Internet. For example, in life, one person chooses to look at a house, while the other chooses to work overtime, and it is not uncommon for the former to double his assets.
Many people think this is luck, but these people ignore the "decision-making power of choice". Choice itself is a kind of ability. In invisible places, people who successfully buy a house and improve their wealth often spend most of their energy and collect a lot of money. Conduct research and analysis of data.
Such as which location, which period, what you can bear, what needs to be given up and balanced, etc., and gradually form your own judgment on the information, and finally make the decision to buy a house through rational thinking instead of simply saying "luck" .
In this process of buying a house, choice is the focus and the fulcrum of the problem.
After we have a rational understanding of the problem, the actions we take through practice can verify our previous thinking process. From perceptual knowledge gained through insights and feelings, to the establishment of concepts to choose, reason and judge .
For example, when we are planning products, we usually draw prototypes/processes and sort out our ideas. During this sorting process, new understandings and ideas are generated.
The same is true when encountering problems. After you have a basic idea and understanding, you should start working first. In the collision of practice, you will encounter various problems, which will also be accompanied by more new thinking and new understanding.
Just like when we make products, after we have a certain understanding and grasp of the business, we can take action and run quickly. It doesn't have to be perfect, just roll it out and try it out.
But if I want to fully understand something before taking action, or if I just stop thinking about it, then basically nothing will be done.
And if you want to make this product a success, there must be a group of people behind you who support you. For example, while taking action in leading, project establishment, product review, etc., I also tell others that I am taking action.
At this time, the "resources" will actively lean towards you, and you can expand your horizontal organization/mobilization capabilities, mobilize collaborative departments, and form a project team.
This can also be regarded as a rule for product managers to "understand", "practice" and "resource" at work.
Quote from "Wang Yangming's "Zhuan Xi Lu""
“Where knowledge is true and sincere, it is action; when action is clear, aware and careful, it is knowledge.”
The idea of "unity of knowledge and action" requires not only the understanding of "knowing", but also the continuous improvement and adjustment of understanding in the practice of "doing".
Once you have a concept and understanding, you can take action amidst constant changes, solve problems in the process of practice, and then return to practice to apply it after gaining new understanding.
