Yesterday was June 6th, a sunny and auspicious day. We ushered in the seventh lesson "Manager's Responsibilities" and the graduation ceremony of the Orange Park MBA. The entire MBA study period is not too long. The first semester lasts less than a year and lasts 7 and a half days. At the same time, it completely conveyed the essence of the philosophy of management master Mr. Drucker, especially the evening graduation ceremony. Under the careful design of Wen Ting and Qing Qing, it not only had the brilliance of thoughts, the practice of actions, but also the flowing atmosphere. The warmth is very touching. To quote Brother Chao’s words that night, this MBA course also planted a seed of management in my heart.
The name of this seed is contribution, and it can thrive in a soil that achieves a delicate balance between doing things and being a person. When there are many things in front of you and the situation is relatively chaotic, you can ask the question "What can I do? What can I contribute?" and put yourself in the perspective of a bystander, and you will suddenly feel like you can see the moon through the clouds. feeling.
In order to loosen the soil and fertilize the seeds in my heart, I opened the photo album to find photos from the past, and sorted out the moments that had the greatest impact on me.
The first class "Be Your Own CEO" is taught by the elegant and intelligent Dean Dong. She is the former dean of Beijing Drucker School of Management and has more than 20 years of business management experience. experience. In just one afternoon, we comprehensively and systematically built the framework of Drucker's thoughts. Various wonderful ideas and sentences were scattered throughout the course like big beads and small beads. I sketched and took notes and kept writing.
The sentence that impressed me most was "My company has unlimited responsibility. I have to devote my whole life to running it. No one can replace it, and I can't resign." It made me think about how to be 100% Take responsibility for your own life.
Teachers Shuoshuo and Liao Rong, who taught the second course "Effective Decision-making" and the third course "Managing Enterprises", are partners who have worked hard to start a business together. Their teachings are interspersed with very vivid practical knowledge. case. In "Effective Decision Making", I shared a case of Baishi Interactive Team, which made me suddenly feel the impact and shaping of past professional experiences on a person, especially the impact of thinking style and communication habits, and thus reflect on myself.
At that time, I was serving as the project manager for a company's R&D project. My nearly six years of experience in a state-owned enterprise made me very eager to get confirmation from my leaders and colleagues at work, so as to prove that I was doing the right thing. , so I often reported on some details, only to ask "is it appropriate?", which annoyed the leader who wanted to fully authorize me. After being reminded in class, I gradually saw the cultural differences behind them, and adjusted my way of doing things to be more suitable for the corporate culture and efficient.
Teacher Liao Rong’s introduction to Mr. Drucker aroused my strong interest. Social ecologists, bystanders, etc., made me feel quite interested. Later I found out that a certain purchase The enamel pot at home - Yiguo is actually a gourmet food brand created by teacher Liao Rong. Suddenly, I feel that sometimes there is some magical connection between people.
The teacher in the fourth class is my senior idol, Teacher Tongtong, the embodiment of love and severity.
In this goal management class, we learned what the Dayan spirit is, and then we actually formed a Dayan team, set annual OKRs, and constantly encouraged each other. Driven by the Dayan team, I have set a new personal record of running 10KM in a single day this year. I began to practice running slowly and discovered my potential in sports. I feel very empowered watching everyone show off their lives and thoughts, such as Xiaoyan’s philosopher’s reflections, Shuoge’s healthy living presentation, etc. Teacher Tongtong leads the Dayan team like our spiritual leader.
"You can go faster if you walk alone, and further if you walk in a group." Following the geese, I was surprised to find that I had an idea of ??my work goals without knowing it. I think more and my persistence in exercise has also improved significantly. I occasionally run 3KM and 5KM without any pressure. Finding the right people to work with will indeed have an empowering effect.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, the fifth and sixth classes were held in the air. The format has changed, but the excitement of the content remains the same. What impressed me deeply in these two classes was the actual case revealed by Teacher Yu Hai at the end. Different from the solutions proposed by several of our speaking partners, the real solution is actually more cruel, and the real business environment is indeed not always gentle.
In the seventh class, we happily returned offline and met at the Jianguo Hotel. In the past few years that I have known Sister Mingxia, we usually communicate at offline gatherings. It was the first time I saw her teaching on the podium. To describe it in one word - it moisturizes things silently and is still in a peaceful state. At the same time, it controls the direction of the whole venue in a gentle way and leaves a sufficient platform for everyone to show off. Through various situational discussions, let us think about what the responsibilities of a manager are from different dimensions.
The final graduation ceremony was also full of emotions. I have experienced Jiugongge activities several times. This is the first time that I set aside time for everyone to share stories after breaking the ice, and use Jiugongge to review the lessons. It can be said that it takes into account both process and emotion.
I feel that Wen Ting and Qing Qing are really attentive, and the design of the gratitude session is also very good. The words of outstanding partners such as Hua Can, Brother Ye, and Brother Shuo are as touching as ever. At the same time, through this session, I saw people I am usually unfamiliar with. The clear hearts of some partners.
He/they may usually be introverted and not very eloquent, but when they stand on the stage, they speak their mind. Xingli's "Stay With You", Jia Lin's gentle but powerful words, and Brother Chao's words "I was a coder before, and I am also a coder now, but I have planted a seed of management in my heart." "Everyone's heartfelt words brought a warm power and made this night engraved in my life like a warm pearl.
In 2021, I look forward to continuing to move forward with you all.
