This paper analyzes Ma Yun's business trip from the perspective of senior leaders' thinking.

How did Ma Yun's leadership come into being?

How is the thinking and pattern improved?

Ma Yun's business trip to the sea proved Charles Munger's "multiple thinking mode", and the biggest gain Ma Yun gained in the establishment of the Shanghai Expo also proved the correctness of this mode.

A thing often has many manifestations, and you can get different gains from different angles.

If there is no diversified practice, it is difficult to establish and improve a diversified thinking mode. We can combine the diversity of knowledge, ideas, methods and motives acquired in universities with the cultivation of innovative ability to stimulate and improve our innovative consciousness.

It is true that senior leaders must have strategic thinking, that is, thinking has sufficient breadth and depth, and has higher overall planning ability and long-term planning ability than ordinary people. The first is an important experience gained in the Expo: you can't choose entrepreneurial projects that can't be scaled up.

1995, establishing capital consciousness through China Yellow Pages.

1997 I joined the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Information Center, and I have a real sense of teamwork and the ability to unify my beliefs and values.

In 2000, Ali's first crisis, layoffs, realized the importance of the profit model, and without it, he could not blindly expand.

At this point, Ma Yun has fully possessed the important qualities that senior leaders must possess: scale consciousness, capital consciousness, consciousness of unifying beliefs and values, and consciousness of profit model.

In 2008, after Alibaba Cloud and Taobao, Ma Yun had a new strategic height: he didn't know technology, but he should be able to judge.

In 20 14, Ma Yun completed the new layout of Alibaba Mobile from IT to DT. This year, Ali went public, and the world's largest Internet company by market value was born.
