The parallel development of various economic forms has brought about the interaction of different occupational environments. "Going to work" is no longer the only source of income and professional identity, and "slash youth" is by no means a minority.
A seemingly plain junior programmer may be a "soul singer" who strives for gold on the live stage. I love the little girl at the front desk bought by buy buy, maybe the beautiful girl V with millions of fans in Little Red Book. A consultant who shuttles between high-end hotels and CEO offices all day has turned into a gym full of personal trainers, and also runs an official WeChat account that can easily add100,000. Aunt cleaning may really be able to save the company from the financing gap by relying on the five demolition houses in her hand. ...
Some people have found their place in this era. And the cruelty of this era to others, we no longer need to rely on big data and cases of jumping off buildings and sudden death from time to time.
After graduation, you can find a decent and well-paid job, get a smooth promotion in three to five years, have a stable income, graduate from a famous college, be loved by leaders and colleagues, and the industry looks vibrant, so you can rest easy?
To what extent can artificial intelligence replace manpower? How many millennials who grew up in internet thinking gave up their work in the field of innovation for more than ten years after 70 s and 80 s? In the established class barriers, how many years have the inheritors of innate resources saved compared with people with ordinary backgrounds?
If these questions make you anxious, it only means that you haven't calmly thought about life in the middle of the night.
Some problems can't be solved, while others can. Some things are changing and some are not. Instead of discussing what kind of people the workplace needs in the new economic era, it is better to enlarge the question: what kind of people can live better in the whole era?
People who don't understand human nature can't do much.
Harper's Bazaar has closely observed and interviewed outstanding achievers in various fields for many years, and found that in any role, one needs to have full cognition and respect for human nature first.
Newcomers and frustrated people in the workplace often ask such questions: Why can't the boss be nice to me? Why can't my colleagues share some with me? Why do customers always make things difficult for me?
The disgust comes from "the other party can't act according to my expectations." After changing the question from "why does the other person make me unhappy" to "what kind of needs does the other person meet", you will find that others are not as stupid, cold-blooded and dissatisfied as you think. Adjust your mentality, give priority to meeting each other's needs, and at the same time join your own needs, and things will be easy.

A more advanced method is to consider everyone's needs at the beginning of the task. Including everyone's income in the incident, the price to be paid, the potential human weakness of the other party, the human advantage that can be activated ... being a helmsman, not a sailor waiting for instructions. Even if you are in a low position and speak softly, you can still turn everything you handle into a ship sailing independently.
Everything is your way of understanding human nature, especially those violent conflicts and tears, those moments when you make mistakes and are bullied. The study of philosophy, psychology and business cases will accelerate your insight into human nature.
Then combine your understanding of human nature with your professional characteristics. For example, Qu Kai, the founder of Chapter 42 Classic, is a famous "opinion leader" in the venture capital circle. When judging and evaluating investment projects, he will first avoid factors that are easily disturbed, such as industry popularity and competition, and go straight to the underlying business logic. At the same time, he regards it as the first measure of his view of the whole world, which helps him to find the logical connection between different things quickly and clearly, and then form a large area of audible content for output.
No book can clearly tell you what human nature is, but at a certain age, if you are still complaining about other people's reactions, you can't laugh at it with "human nature is like this, why not do it" and send an outdated sentence: if you behave like this, the road to society will get narrower and narrower.
Those who cannot see the general trend of the times will eventually be abandoned by the times.
In Bazaar's rich experience in visiting, no one's achievement is completely accidental. Those ideas that have a brainwave and eventually achieve great things are based on in-depth observation of industry, humanity, environment and trends.
Without the increasingly tense pace of life, the high cost of eating out, and the increasingly lazy observation of people in the technological age, how can there be hungry beauty groups? The birth of ofo and mobike experienced traffic jams, trouble finding cars and fear of stealing cars. Under the concept of leaving home, people no longer cling to "owning".
The birth of unicorn-type commercial projects does not stop at "meeting explicit needs", but discovering and solving potential, unexpressed and even discovered needs. Apple is, Taobao is, and so is Xiaomi.
What is special about this era is that it is no longer tolerant. In the business environment decades ago, the head enterprises ate meat, while the enterprises with weak competitiveness drank soup. But in today's market, only the head company can survive.
Therefore, even if you plan to be a professional manager all your life, if you can't contribute enough insights to the development of the enterprise, you are likely to be passively unemployed on the premise of good performance, because your company or industry may no longer exist.

Because the world is progressing rapidly, almost everyone is "crossing the river by feeling the stones", and there are no longer so many "predecessors" to consult. Everyone's self-reliance, everyone's observation of the times, consideration of demand and grasp of trends have become important enough.
As the founder of McKinsey China Innovation Center, Shasha, with many years' experience, leads McKinsey's digital Asia business in an all-round way outside the original automobile business. Today, when the general public mistakenly think that consulting companies are no longer myths, many unicorn enterprises on the cusp are still willing to pay high costs after two or three rounds of financing, and regard McKinsey as a powerful assistant for the benign development of enterprises. Sasha herself also incorporated her own opinions into the paper and became the Chinese co-author of From 1 to N: A Guide to the Digital Survival of Enterprises.
The workplace is also like playing chess. Look at the trend, act early and take it by surprise. Stick to the rules, keep quiet, defend everywhere, and finally lose. The way to observe the trend is to read more, watch more and practice more.
What is more important than good popularity is good performance.
After leaving Yang Guang, Yin Qing first became the first host of Kai-Fu Lee's investment in innovation works, and then got tens of millions of A-round financing in Jingwei China. Prior to this, she was a china national radio host who won the highest honor "Golden Microphone" award in the broadcasting host industry twice.
In everything, Yin Qing pursues perfection. Yang Guang never looked at the payroll when she was working, but she really racked her brains for the quality of each project. In order to make the program better, for many years, she spent all her spare time studying psychology, which made her not spend much time with her colleagues. What's more, because she didn't want to waste time, she almost put an end to gossiping and complaining about leading such professionals.
The workplace is a place where "the gun hits the first bird". If you show outstanding performance but don't know how to converge, it is easy to establish inexplicable hostility. Therefore, a person with strong working ability often needs to make more efforts in dealing with workplace relations.

Speaking of human nature, jealousy is one of human nature, and we can't put an end to the dark jungle in others' hearts from the root. Some smart people choose to give up their work and build good relationships. If you are not a rich second generation and don't plan to open the best gym where everyone pays, then between good popularity and good performance, we suggest choosing the latter.
Especially for newcomers in the workplace, souvenirs taken care of by everyone after a trip and a team dinner will not win you more respect than winning a big bill for the team. Maybe you have an abrupt personality and don't like flattery, but your performance is hard enough and your work is beautiful enough. Even if the boss doesn't like you emotionally, he won't easily put you on the layoff list.
After starting a business, Qu Kaiyue no longer paid attention to a person's qualifications and background, but looked at his "unreliable work". Hand over one thing, no matter what way, will eventually get a beautiful result, that is, available talents. Yin Qing also avoided those employees in the team who "had to report their existence in detail, but had little success". McKinsey, which is famous for its elite culture, advocates efficient and scientific communication methods and it is very important to unite colleagues. Paying too much attention to building a good reputation is easy to miss competitiveness and "out".
Novices in the workplace should also forge management skills
10 years ago, when you were planning your career, you might have heard such a suggestion, that is, "it takes two to three years to hone your execution, three to five years to start cultivating group leadership, and seven to ten years to practice your organizational management skills" ... In today's era, if you still follow this rhythm, it is tantamount to "putting money in the bank".
The so-called management is not limited to organizational relations, but a kind of thinking and skills. When the upstream and downstream communicate with other departments, it is easy for each part to increase the difficulty of implementation for its own benefit. The bigger the company, the more common it is, and the efficiency is often wasted here. From the perspective of executives, you will be angry or helpless. People with management thinking will put aside emotions and confrontation when there is conflict, pay attention to the needs of others, and guide the results of each part.
Management thinking means that you work with people in a cooperative manner. Looking up and looking wide at the low position is helpful to improve execution. When opportunities arise, it will be easier to get in touch with stars in mentality and ability.
Emotional management, expectation management and energy management are equally important and easily overlooked. In the workplace, people are inevitably passive, especially junior players, who can neither arrange their own work tasks completely independently, nor choose who to approach or avoid.

In this case, first of all, we should do a good job in expectation management, reduce the expectation of the results, do not presuppose, or imagine the situation worse. Then, in the face of the actual situation, keep a steady mind and don't be easily disturbed by the environment and the firm. This is the so-called emotional management.
Energy management is the most neglected. It's hard to say "no" There are too many email, WeChat, telephone and communication tools, which are easily disturbed by emergencies and disrupt the steps. Be tough and give yourself time to plan a level. For example, only deal with tasks received before 24: 00 the day before in the morning, and leave work for half an hour every day ... If instant feedback at any time reduces your efficiency, it will not increase your competitiveness in the long run.
Try to be a person who has everything under control and establish your own rhythm, as soon as possible.
Finally, McKinsey put forward "energy management" in recent years. In addition to the above accuracy and efficiency, it puts forward the importance of vitality and passion to people in the workplace, which we will further elaborate in the interview area of Sasha below.
Don't touch yourself by working overtime until three in the morning.
This article is about pragmatism. Several interviewees unanimously threw out similar views.
Qu Kai: Less formalism. This era is still scarce, and smart and diligent people are welcome, but it is definitely not true cleverness to create false prosperity with the appearance of hype.
Yin Qing: Some overtime work is inefficient repetition, while others are "spontaneous". Only incompetent people are moved by themselves, but they are always moved by their diligence, which shows that the only thing you can boast about is diligence.
Sasha: If a person has no other life except work, or his spare time is not wonderful, he will be considered incompetent at McKinsey.
It is not that love and loyalty to work are not important in this era, but that our generation, growing up in today's cultural background, pays more attention to results than ever before. There is no longer an old leader willing to let you stay in an inappropriate position to express your feelings. Gone are the days when working hard but inefficiently, or just reporting beautifully, can be a panacea for the workplace.
So those friends who "I turned off the lights again tonight", "Have you seen the office at three o'clock in the morning" and "are about to vomit blood" can only move themselves and your boss who is doomed to be eliminated because he can't keep up with the times.
Even if you only work for two hours a day, you can finish KPI beautifully. As long as you don't adjust your working hours and post pictures of afternoon tea, your position in the workplace is stable. Of course, if you are willing to spend more than two hours to complete KPI, your rising path will become wider.
If your workload is too heavy to finish and you enjoy it, do it well and speak with the results. Before the results are produced, any expression about how hard you work is nonsense.
To be the screw of a big company, we must also cultivate a sense of ownership.
Yes, the sense of ownership is back. In the early years, there was a popular saying, "If you are not the CEO, don't worry about the department manager." But our times are changing so fast. Why?
Now all walks of life are innovating. Not only are the prospects of start-ups unclear, but large companies have also begun a new journey of transformation and exploration. A new intern may be the most proficient person in a new business in the whole company. Now the context of the whole era is turbulent, and the role of experience is no longer amazing.
The innovation department is a startup company. This is the best opportunity for entrepreneurs who are eager to make their mark in the business world. You can not only experience the pleasure of beating the world by yourself, but also take advantage of the strength of the platform to expand resources more quickly without bearing the cost pressure.

If you can have a heart of "I am CEO" and focus on "establishing rules, sustainable development and profit orientation" when dealing with work affairs, then you have a better chance to bypass qualifications and time and get promoted quickly.
This is an indispensable mentality for employees who start small companies. Maybe you are only in charge of a small business, but what it will look like and where it will fly on this brand-new spaceship under construction may be directly related to you.
Forget the obsession with a single job skill. If you can't be a captain, you can only be a sailor. This is no longer the era of eating the world at once, and professional Facebook has long been replaced. If you don't make progress, work hard and plan ahead for yourself, it is no longer a question of whether you can get ahead, but: you are likely to be eliminated directly. Because-
Artificial intelligence is coming.
In recent years, Bazaar has had numerous long or short conversations with respondents from different industries on artificial intelligence. Thankfully, compared with the anxiety of the big environment, leaders are optimistic.
"Artificial intelligence will replace most jobs that rely on manpower, especially those with high density, non-special skills and non-emotional factors, but it cannot be replaced in a short time or forever."
Shasha told us that the McKinsey Global Institute's analysis of more than 2,000 jobs in 800 occupations shows that manual labor in a highly stable and predictable environment, such as manufacturing, catering, retail and some middle-skilled occupations, is most vulnerable to automation. In the next few decades, more than half of the existing jobs will be replaced by machines.
Artificial intelligence can well optimize repetitive work that depends on a lot of experience, and it can well solve the rational part. But sensibility and creativity are hard to be replaced.
In the interview, Yin Qing also mentioned "perceptual qualities", such as humanistic qualities, aesthetics and creativity, which are hard for machines to surpass.
Qu Kai believes that technology has changed human beings, and that machines will not have the desire to change the world.
In this era when entertainment and reading are controlled by algorithms, we need to live a more sober and rational life in order to avoid becoming a "peanut man" who has lost the ability of independent thinking (see the movie "The Great Guardian").
Compared with the turbulent economic environment mentioned above, the fear brought by artificial intelligence is more like a war of all mankind. We are worried that this will be the last straw of polarization and we will be replaced.
It is better to act than to worry. Avoid unconscious information reception, avoid mistaking the screen-swiping event in the circle of friends for the whole world, strengthen the training of self-perception ability, dabble extensively, establish a broader professional social circle, and let yourself have multiple skills. ...
No matter where you start, in this era, if you don't want to be the one who is squeezed off the boat, you must pay attention to the essence quickly and accurately. If one track is not enough, go to the next one quickly.
