I'm watching the fifth age these two days. This book was given to me by1Mexico City on June 26th, 998. It says "Learn a brilliant life forever". At that time, I turned it over and found that it was about beer sales, so I didn't turn it down again. That was 10 year. At the beginning of 2008, I picked it up again, for no other reason than to read all the books on the shelf or at least have a general idea, otherwise I would be painted with party bureaucrats who are full of hardcover books but never read them. It doesn't matter if you bite the bullet, but you did find a treasure-this is an excellent book, which any enterprise manager should read and understand carefully, much better than Little Red Book. After reading it for the first time, I looked at the time, 20081October 25th, 65438+22: 50. What a coincidence-10 year, so I made a mark at the end. If there are any good books on business management in recent decades, I recommend three more: Execution-How to Complete the Task, 22 Business Rules and Dating with Time, among which Dating with Time only needs to read the first half. When we read western books, we often feel sleepy. On the one hand, we have problems with writing habits and translation level. On the other hand, we are too backward. We have never seen or heard of many things, so we need to learn from scratch. Adults, especially those executives who think they are outstanding in the domestic industry, are always used to looking for their own views in books, that is, they are not studying, but want to prove their correctness and wisdom through books. Really good books in the west often disappoint them, because most of them are things we don't know and can't satisfy our vanity. What should we do? Put down our airs, admit our isolation and ignorance, and study hard. When you have finished reading it, you will really be enlightened. The joy of learning true knowledge is much deeper and more lasting than shallow vanity. These managers who pursue, study and practice tirelessly are the backbone of China's development, progress and improvement. Last night, I read the construction organization design specification in one breath. This code can be said to have condensed the hard work of Chinese builders for forty or fifty years, and the writing team has also paid a lot of labor. But after reading it, I always feel that there is something wrong. The problem with it is that you can't find the problem, cover everything, be dull and uninspired, and at most it is an outline of construction organization design. How does this outline become a national standard? Is it necessary? After reading this specification, I can't help but be interested in reading the American national standard "Guide to Project Management Knowledge System". I have the electronic version of this book. Because I don't like reading e-books, I haven't read them on the computer. But since comparative study is more important, I will bite the bullet and read it again. More importantly, this book was translated by Professor Lu, the president of our university. China's persistent fever for real estate also makes real estate books very popular. I seldom buy this kind of domestic book, because I have been in a real estate company since 1990, and I did my graduation thesis in Beijing Housing Reform Office before graduation. From the perspective of system knowledge, I have great confidence in theory and practice. But even if I rarely buy books, I have read a lot in 20 years. The books written by these people in China are basically lists of policies, laws and practices, which are not systematic, comprehensive and profound enough. You can't see the theoretical framework inside, you can't make people think, and there is no guiding significance except for specific small enterprises. These two years seem to be better, because China is maturing several research institutions, such as Shenzhen Sepp Management Consulting Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Mingyuan Real Estate Research Institute and Peking University Zongheng Management Consulting Company. But looking at their things, it seems that they are still groping halfway, that is, they are still groping for the specific business and processes of real estate enterprises and real estate projects; However, the real estate research institutions in universities still seem to be behind closed doors, with more emotion than skills and more effort spent on fame than on specific research. A few years ago, I read The Principles of American Real Estate, and found that there are few contents about real estate enterprises and project management, most of which are real estate sources, land rights, planning, finance, transactions and so on. At that time, I was very confused, but with the promulgation of the property law, I suddenly realized that the whole country had not figured out the principle of real estate, and was still crossing the river on the wrong road. After reading Principles of Real Estate, and then reading China's property law, you will feel cold-why are they stubborn and unrepentant? No matter what industry you are as an executive of a big company and what field you are responsible for, economics is basic knowledge, otherwise you will be incompetent-the executive is incompetent, and it is ok to be a small department manager. My major is related to management, so there is a specialized course in economics in the university. I also buy some books and read them from time to time at work. I studied hard for a period of time when I took the civil service exam, and I reread it because of love after the exam. But now I still have no idea about economics. The book knowledge in China seems to have been forgotten, or it can't guide me to analyze any economic problems at all. There are two books on the shelf of the company, Principles of Economics written by Peking University Press and American Man Kun. Every time I read these two thick books-macroeconomics volume and microeconomics volume, I can't bear to leave, because I still can't spare such a long time to read them carefully. People who do nothing all day are even less willing to spend precious time on their studies. They want to chat online, watch videos, play games and browse boring web pages to pass the boring day. Isn't the book written by China beautiful? Of course not. Don't you think I highly recommend Kai-fu Lee's autobiography "The World is Different for You"? I also highly recommend a series of books written by Linda, such as I have a dream, sweeping leaves for winter, crossing the night sky like a comet, and taking a book to Paris. Just looking at the name makes you feel very close, so naturally it is unconventional. Of course, for corporate executives, I would also like to recommend a book on finance: Managing Finance and Profitability-General Manager's Finance Course written by Shi Yongxiang. Unfortunately, the authors of these good books have an international knowledge background. The social and educational environment in China is difficult to cultivate people with creativity and substantial knowledge contribution-almost in any field. Because I have read too many books recently, and most of them are professional books that I urgently need to learn, Su San's New Interpretation of the Origin of Chinese Characters has just started, so it is not convenient for a layman to evaluate it. However, a person with a global vision, standing on the height of space to look at history, whether it is logic, method, viewpoint or inference, will bring us healthy enlightenment. A good book must be read carefully twice. Now reread the fifth discipline and believe in its essence-systematic thinking, establishment of learning organization, self-transcendence, improvement of mental model, establishment of common vision, etc. It will certainly be of great help to my future career.
