However, when I really started reading Management by Stephen Robbins, I was tired of saying the word "delicious" and hoped that everyone would read Management.
Different from my previous narrow cognition, management knowledge can not only be transferred to many fields, but also management itself is not just a narrow sense of "management" as we understand it.
If I didn't study management, I wouldn't believe that I really learned how to manage my time, how to prepare for an interview and how to make a plan. ...
How to manage time?
Reading through the first chapter of Management Science, we can not only understand why management is important, but also see how to manage time.
The solution given in the book is ABC rule of time management, that is, according to the four-quadrant rule, important and urgent, important and urgent and unimportant, non-urgent and unimportant are divided into ABC three categories.
By classifying tasks, we know what we should do first (important and urgent), and then we can arrange the five most important things to do in a day according to the priority and make a rough schedule.
In addition, in order to avoid the situation that all demanding tasks are piled together and there is crazy DDL, this rule suggests that it is best to include ABC three tasks every day.
Setting priorities for tasks, including three types of tasks every day, is the biggest gain I get from this rule.
In order to improve my time management ability, I immediately went to practice and transferred the calendar page of Nissin to the four-quadrant mode.
Although this change is very small and looks inconspicuous, it is really useful! This move forced me to set priorities for tasks before writing to-do items in the APP, so that every time I open the APP, I immediately know what to do first.
Before that, when there was no priority, I always looked at my mood and did whatever I wanted, so that the graduation thesis opening report and interim report were completed in 3-7 days.
2) Why does your flag always fall?
The eighth chapter of "Management" specifically talks about how to make a plan, in which the definition of a plan is "to make a plan for goals, to determine strategies for achieving these goals, and to make a plan for integrating and coordinating activities in China." The plan pays attention to both the formal result (what it is) and the means (how to do it). "
When you see this sentence, you will understand why your flag always falls!
Do you want to lose weight, so you made a vow of "I want to be thinner than 100 kg"? Do you want to study hard and say, "I want to raise the GPA to above 3.4"?
Then why does your flag always fall?
Because you didn't make the right plan at all! Only the goal, no means, is not a complete plan.
When setting goals, we should follow the SMART principle, and the goals should be clear, measurable, achievable and timely. For example, "thin to less than 100 kg" can be changed to "I want to be thin for three months 12 kg and 98 kg".
When making a plan, we should take into account the allocation of resources, time schedule and other necessary activities needed to achieve the goal. Simply put, what tools (materials) are needed and what to do when.
Let's take losing weight as an example. I lost 1.2kg in three months, with an average weekly weight loss of 1kg. This speed of losing weight is realistic and healthy.
And what resources do we need to lose weight? There may be coarse grains such as weighing scale, sebum forceps (for measuring abdominal fat) and soft ruler (for measuring measurements). ), whole wheat bread, purple potato corn, etc.
Besides, we need time and resources. It takes time to make diet meals and exercise, which should be considered when making plans. We can set a good schedule, such as cooking miscellaneous grains porridge for two people at night and drinking it quickly and hot the next day.
3) How to prepare for the interview?
Chapter 12 of Management is clear from the beginning. In fact, it is no different from the experience sharing of seniors and sisters. It may be better than being more systematic and concise.
First, we should investigate the company in advance. The channel can be official website, paying special attention to the "About Us" and financial sections, and checking the contents of social media and other business news websites about it.
The second is to investigate the competitors of the company in the same industry, so that you can have a general understanding and don't have to grasp the details too much.
Third, prepare standard questions in advance, such as "self-introduction" and "your greatest weakness". The book also talks about how to answer the reference answer of "your greatest weakness", so I won't expand it here.
Others include paying attention to your body language, reading job descriptions (such as recruitment requirements) carefully, and re-examining your resume with the interviewer's critical eyes.
Shit, look! What a detailed and comprehensive interview suggestion!
So study management as soon as possible. You only need to pay the price of a book and some time, but you can gain infinite wisdom! Make a profit without losing money!
