Introduction:Why do you say that the review should be done often, consistently, and regularly?With you today**.
In less than 1 month, 2023 will be over.
I believe that many people have begun to prepare for a review.
Why do you need to do a review?Because through retrospective, you will be able to look at your goals more holistically, reflect on the process, and make both your successes and failures worthwhile.
The review can bring compound interest, and there is only randomness without review.
So, review this matter: yesDo it often, do it consistently, and do it regularly.
Review should be done often.
Why do it so often?BecauseReview is the fastest way for a person to grow.
Only by constantly reviewing can you discover your strengths and weaknesses and improve and improve every day. You only know which pits to avoid if you know that you are falling.
I'll give you an example: early in my career, when I was just doing sales, I had the experience of hugging my head and crying. I've found that my sales performance can never outperform my fellow countryman, who has always been number one.
Later, through the review, I found out: This fellow actually has no skills in playing **, just a sentence, the boss you buy one, the boss you buy one, and then the boss buys it.
And I am constantly talking to customers about logic, needs and values. And then the customer said, then I'll buy one. But I also proudly said that whether you buy it or not, it's up to you.
After this review, I found the problem I had in sales: lack of sex, no hunger. Since then, I haven't lost to my fellow countryman.
So, how to do the review?Usually a good review often consists of three steps:
Step 1: Observe
The first is observation: what to observe?You have to "go back in time", look back, observe the results, and also observe the process.
And your observations must be based on truth. Therefore, you have to look at the data, look at the objective description of the event, look at the facts and opinions separately, and look at the problem rationally.
Step 2: Reflect
Based on the observed facts, you have to do reflection, you can't think very superficially, you have to think deeply so that the review will be effective.
Keep asking questions, keep asking questions in depth, peel the onion like this, keep peeling, ask five or six questions in a row, and finally you will be able to review the essence and find the truth of the matter.
Step 3: Action
After reflection, it is time to act. Depending on the results of your reflection, you need to adjust your actions: what things do you stop doing?What things continue to be done?What to start doing?Without action, there is no point in reviewing.
No review, no growth. Therefore, the review should be done frequently.
Review, keep doing.
Why do you insist on doing it?BecauseReview is anti-human.
Many times, you need to "peel the skin", you need to expose your scars, you need to dissect yourself, and expose your own shortcomings.
But, this is precisely the hardest part.
We are all Xi used to thinking from our own point of view, Xi to reporting good news but not bad news, Xi to applause, Xi to face, and Xi to finding reasons from the outside. When we do something wrong, we can't wait to turn the page and don't want to admit our problems.
However, once the real question is avoided, there is no point in reviewing.
Therefore, the review must be insisted on, you must dare to "take off your pants and cut your tail", and dare to find reasons from yourself.
So, how to do it?There are two ways:
1.Look in the mirror
When reviewing the team, you should be able to "look in the mirror", reflect on yourself from the employee, and find your own problems.
When employees don't meet their goals, you need to ask yourself, "Am I giving a clear goal?"Is there a chasing process?Are the incentives in place?”
When you feel that the ability of employees is not strong, you have to ask yourself: "Have I done a good job in employee training, and have I done a good job in mentoring?"”
When you feel that employees don't approve of you, ask yourself, "Do I have leadership?"Am I doing my part?”
For managers,To review employees is to review themselves.
2.Step on the tail
I used to say thatPeople cannot be woken up, only by pain.
When you can't find a problem, if you are a manager, you can have a "fish tank meeting" mentioned in the management workshop.
Let others give you advice, talk about your problems, when others criticize, when others put forward their own opinions, no matter how strong your desire to refute, restrain yourself and ask yourself to shut up.
Listen patiently to the other person's speech and see what they think of you and what they think of you. Their words will sting you and step on your tail, and you will reflect when you are in pain.
Growth is painful, and the review must be done.
Review should be done regularly.
Why do it on a regular basis?Reviewing at a specific time node can not only summarize and reflect more comprehensively, find more problems and opportunities, but also effectively manage time and avoid wasting time and energy.
When a project is implemented, you need to develop a clear review plan and process to avoid getting lost in the review process.
Weekly, monthly, quarterly, how are the goals achieved?Is the strategy correct?What needs to be improved?What do you need to stick to?
Regular review, specifically, has three meanings:
The first is to grasp the degree of goal completion
The goal is the direction, and if you don't pay attention to the completion of the goal, you don't know what to do next.
For example, your performance target for this year is 100 million, and by the end of June, you have completed 30 million. Then you have to review, what went wrong in the first half of the year?70 million in the second half of the year, how do you use to complete it?
Through the review, we can grasp the degree of completion of the goal, and then adjust the strategy for the next stage to ensure that the goal is finally achieved.
Second, make sure you don't deviate from the general direction
Don't keep your head down to pull the car, but also look up at the road to see if you're going in the wrong direction.
For example, if you are a designer, you can't just meet your own preferences without paying attention to the real needs of customers, and finally produce a product that the market does not need.
Review is to help you adjust your strategy and methods, deviate from the direction, correct it, and continue to move forward.
Third, examine your original intention
Sometimes, you will be busy doing things and ignore the original intention and meaning of doing things, so it is easy to do things for the sake of doing things.
Regular reviews can help to revisit your motivation for doing it, to see if it's still worth doing and what has changed.
Regular review, just like giving your body a regular check-up, will escort your growth and development.
Socrates saidAn unexamined life is not worth living. Review is an opportunity to examine yourself. To review this matter, we must do it often, do it consistently, and do it regularly. Learn to review, so that every review becomes an accelerator on your growth path.
