Who does the team listen to

Yu Jun once shared the method of making decisions in a team ： Put the facts 、 Be reasonable 、 Comparative rank . Today I want to talk about my understanding .

These nine words actually outline a decision algorithm for us , among , Facts are data , Truth is logic , The rank is who is responsible for , These three points are progressive .

In the team , A difficult problem is thrown over , As the person in charge , You can see that there are many solutions , But which one should I choose ？ By feeling , Experience ？ What should we do if we disagree ？

What can be judged by data depends on data , This is the simplest . Data cannot support decision-making , Then talk about logic , Which scheme is more logical 、 More ground , Just choose one .

But sometimes , Both logic OK, Both schemes are good , It doesn't make much sense to continue arguing . In this case , You need someone to compromise . In order to improve the efficiency of decision-making , The suggestion is who has a higher rank , Or who is ultimately responsible for this matter , Just listen to who .

Be careful , I use it here or , Or look at the rank , Or see who is ultimately responsible for things .

In the team , Most of the time , Facing an unknown problem , There is no way to directly deduce an optimal solution . See the data 、 The process of speaking logic , Itself is to give decision-makers more information input , And more meta perspectives .

For example, we discussed the poster of knowledge planet yesterday , Design will be seen from a visual perspective , The operation will look at it from the perspective of transformation , The editor will see from the perspective of content , All these inputs are key information that can assist in decision-making .

That's why you don't fight for rank directly at the beginning . Listen to the leader in everything , The decision-making efficiency is definitely the highest , Qian Gang is arbitrary , But this is also the biggest damage to the team .

Everything depends on the leader's face , Isn't that bureaucratic ？ Like this, , When we discuss the problem later , Don't the people who flatter the horse get together first ？ Don't all dynasties die like this ？

Zhang Xiaolong said this ： Execution is important , But I hope our daily work is a speculative process . We advocate arguing , Find the right solution by reasoning at work , Instead of giving up thinking ability or even thinking habits for the sake of team interests or interpersonal relationships . Progress comes from speculation .

I've always kept this in mind , It is an important supplement to Yu Jun's words above . Decisions without speculation , A team without thinking , There will be no vitality . The team is like taking drugs , There is only one sound , I haven't finished there yet , This side shouted mighty support , My day , It's terrible to think about it .

Empty talk , A bit abstract , Let's give you an example .

To do one thing has A and B The two plan , If you have data to prove A The plan is better , Then according to A Scheme to .

But many times there is no data , This requires reason . Reasoning is logic and judgment , Of course , The premise of both is that there is enough information input and non paranoid cognition , If you can convince him with reason , Or he can convince you with reason , This is the best consensus , It's called... In the art of war “ Attack people to attack the heart ”, Logically speaking, understanding is the best way to attack the heart ？

however , A lot of times , Consensus is not that easy , It was a round of discussion , The result is that you think A Good plan , He felt B Good plan , At an impasse . What do you do then ？ If you two are equal , Then I'll find you Leader. If you two are not equal , Then fight for rank , Let's listen Leader Of .

Before , I can probably realize this degree . Now? , I felt a little tender before .

Now that we're here Leader, Then let's focus on the high bridge of the nose 、 A stolid face 、 A sitting leader .

Me and Leader Discuss a problem , They just don't match up , I've seen the data , useless , I've talked about logic , Each has its own preference . Now it's time to compare ranks .

Be careful , Comparing rank does not mean directly following Leader A plan to , But rather ,Leader You can decide whose plan to follow . This sentence is very important .

Would you , After some discussion ,Leader Enough information has been collected （ data ）, His first way of thinking should be that both schemes are good , Which one to choose , It depends on the probability .

When the probabilities of both schemes are similar （ Most of the time ）, choose Leader My own proposal , Or choose the scheme proposed by team members , Private opinion , It's a test for decision makers ego Of .

From the perspective of human nature , Most people prefer their own solutions . But the higher wisdom is , With similar probability , Follow the plan of the team members . because , This can stimulate his subjective initiative , Can inspire his goodwill .

Zuo Hui said ：“ Who is responsible for , Let who finally makes the decision ”. Zuo Hui is the big boss , But he just provides input to the person in charge of specific things （ The premise here is that the person has gained trust ）.

Of course , It is also possible that senior leaders finally chose his plan , At this time of the , Just follow the team , No more objections , Or in private , This ensures the highest efficiency of team collaboration , Obedience is also a compulsory course for each of us . but , If people in senior positions always make wrong decisions , That's another thing .

What about? , Am I clear ？ Let's have a drink and continue .

In the final analysis ,“ Put the facts , Be reasonable , Comparative rank ” It's a team decision-making algorithm .

Recently on the planet , Many students are asking us all kinds of life questions . in my opinion , Those problems are too big , The details are not clear , If I give random advice , It's easy to cause people to deviate .

such as , A little sister asked me , She didn't work last year , Part time Full-time postgraduate entrance examination , But I didn't go to my ideal school in the end . Next, he will be transferred to an unknown second College . Now , She should consider going to work , Or go to graduate school and get a diploma ？

This problem , Too little data was given . such as , How about your undergraduate school , What major did you study in college , What kind of life do you like , How much money did your father save for you . I don't know any of this , How can I give advice ？

So I wrote her a paragraph , I think it's more pertinent .

It's like fighting de pu , Should you bet on this card or not , You have to look at the cards in your hand first 、 a hand , And your opponent's bets . This is called collecting data . Then , Based on the exposed cards , Calculate the probability of winning . Last , Combine the chips in your hand , Then decide whether to continue to bet .

To put it simply , High quality decision making = Plenty of data + The right algorithm . Data and algorithms , Be short of one cannot .

We ask people questions , In general , It's hard to synchronize all the contexts with him in a short time . If you really ask for advice , We might as well learn his algorithm , But never , Don't let him help you make choices .

With the algorithm , Then put it on your own data , There can be an answer in the fuzziness .
