Mr. Zhou took the class of "Production Operation Management", he had a clear idea and a very practical lecture style: the content was very detailed and the arrangement was very compact. Once, he had a feeling in class about him and one of his brothers.
According to reports, he began to program ERP when he was a graduate student in the early 80s, and was one of the earliest ERP programmers in China. At that time, the ERP program written by their team for a state-owned enterprise in Shanghai was closely integrated with the actual situation of the enterprise. An American company offered to pay $50,000 for the software, and they didn't sell it. According to the income level of that year, 10,000 households are enviable, not to mention more than 400,000 yuan. He sighed when he talked about it, lamenting that he was good at programming, and his tutor stayed with him to teach at the school, but he insisted on going south to do sales. Although he also has extraordinary achievements in sales, he is always inferior to his senior brother. When introducing his senior brother, he said a specific example: his senior brother saw the other party's leader, smiled, strode forward, stretched out his hands, and held the other's hands tightly. Said loudly: look up for a long time, look up for a long time. The next main business links are all discussed by Mr. Zhou. And when the leader on the other side saw Mr. Zhou for the second time, the first sentence was to ask: Why didn't the friend who was with you last time come?! This sentence made Zhou reflect for a long time - Zhou knew that leader first, and that leader only met his senior brother. I'm so impressed. Zhou sighed to himself.
Zhou talked eloquently in class, sharing his experience and insights with us, and I judged from some of his understandings when he was teaching: Zhou is sensitive to things, while his senior brother is good at interpersonal skills. Zhou also ran around looking for his own way, and finally returned to the road of learning and then teaching. He was very smart and talented, but he didn't plan his career well. As he lamented, if he had been programming in school, he would have made a difference by now. After a lot of rushing, he finally understood what he was good at.
This brings me to my brother Forrest Gump and me. I am a person who wants to do things well, and I always think about doing things, and I feel that I am strong in doing things. After one long and one long, I rarely spend time and effort on interpersonal relationships. In the long run, it is easy to develop weaknesses in this area. And my senior brother Forrest Gump, whether it is doing academic work or ordinary daily trivial things, is very obviously inferior to me, but he is very good at interpersonal relationships, and he is also the kind of acquaintance, and he is very famous among teachers and classmates. In particular, the relationship with the teacher is very good. Because he is a few years older than me, whether it is a chance or not, he can now be regarded as accumulating the first pot of gold: he has a car, another house and investment, he often plays golf, and it is said that he and his friends have chartered a certain golf course. When I went to school that day, I also saw a detail of the scene: I met the teacher at the elevator entrance, and he greeted him warmly and talked with him. When getting off the elevator, politely give the teacher the first step. I'm really inferior to him compared to others!
Zhou and his senior brother at that time were so similar to me and Gan at this moment.
According to this, think carefully about the word "people" and "things" in the business field. Some people are quick to things, while some people are good at interpersonal skills. Only by giving their own strengths can they show their powers. As a leader, you must seek people and judge things. As a subordinate, you must clearly understand your strengths and make up for your shortcomings. Finally, I felt particularly strongly that in the Chinese business world, interpersonal relationships are in most cases the top priority and should be given priority.
