Ning Xiangdong is a professor at Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management. Some courses are very good, while others are average. This may be related to his mood of recording courses at that time. When he was on a business trip, the recorded content felt ordinary and personal. I prefer attending classes to reading, because I will analyze and think by myself when attending classes, and record my feelings or habits of classic content with memos. I will use fragmented commuting time and bedtime to study, but there is one drawback. As Ning Xiangdong said, we have been learning fragmentation, lack of arrangement, lack of deep thinking and precipitation, so his courses will be summarized every week, and the knowledge of fragmentation learning should be integrated. I usually have to listen to it 2-3 times to understand most of the meaning.
Because there is a lot of content, I want to share my feelings with you after listening to the course Leadership today. Ning Xiangdong also used Jack Welch's words in the course. Before you become a leader, you succeed. After you become a leader, you succeed by helping your subordinates succeed. The leadership he described includes expert strength, charm and post strength, and post strength means that you use your post strength to arrange the work of your subordinates. Expert power refers to your strong business ability, professional knowledge and technology in specific fields, thus forming influence. Charm is that a subordinate will follow you without money and will share joys and sorrows with you. This is called following. You must have met some people. As long as you listen to what he says, you are determined to work with him. You will be influenced by his personal qualities such as self-confidence, persistence, concentration and selflessness, and become a sincere follower. That's what charm does. I hope my management can help you.
A good leader is not a simple manager. The realm of leaders is higher than that of managers. When you become a person in charge, manage a stall and have your own soldiers, you are just a manager. Your next goal is to become a leader. Let me ask you, when forming a team, do you want a subordinate who obeys or a subordinate who follows? What is the leadership of a manager? You can look at his team, how many masters there are in his team, and confident leaders will use or train people who are better than themselves.
There is a joke in the course that there is an influential leader who will have an employee interview every month, mainly to ask him how he is doing and what help he needs. I personally feel deeply. Sometimes, people feel that they don't know what to communicate with the team. This is a good open topic.
