I personally study management, and this book has a very important influence on management thought. I will talk about it from several aspects in the future.
Practice comes first, theory comes first, and theory is a practical construction system to be proved. The role of theory is also to transform sporadic facts and special cases into rules and systems.
Management is an art, because it involves all aspects, the elements of humanistic self-cognition, wisdom and leadership art. We should concentrate these knowledge on benefits and achievements, and finally create how to manage an enterprise and train an employee.
The meaning of knowledge is no longer a pure knowledge, but a resource and a means to create results. As the core driving force of modern times, knowledge should be combined with our disciplines.
Achieving this goal does not mean that the enterprise does not assume responsibility. Only when enterprises realize their responsibilities and coordinate their own interests can they develop for a long time. Therefore, we should take some actions that are conducive to the survival and stability of the organization.
Is an enterprise for the long-term or short-term? Different enterprises have different choices. Some enterprises care about the long term, while others care about the short term. Fundamentally speaking, this is a dispute over values related to enterprise functions and management responsibilities.
Management is for those who are successful. I think management is a waste of time for people who have few years of work experience. Management teachers should have the management and consulting experience of their younger brothers and be able to see the real challenges.
About innovation and change.
We should actively abandon outdated products, processes and services. So as to develop new products and services.
We should learn to make scientific decisions, understand the actual situation, make compromises, and proceed from the standard of right and wrong. You can't make do at first. There is a good example of compromise. Half a loaf of bread is better than nothing. But it depends on time.
It is necessary to use the results to test whether the decision has sufficient feedback information, so that it can be revised continuously according to the actual situation. Whether the expected goal of the decision is appropriate.
The principle of federalism is that all departments of each enterprise independently manage their own parts. Everyone is a business entity, producing different products for different goals, so in the near future, he will certainly develop better.
The closer the public office is to the goal, the more depressed he is, and the more difficult it is to continue to work hard.
Understanding customers' needs and refining people's expectations are the potential for enterprises to develop and create the future.
