——How to develop yourself?
——How to achieve yourself and reach the peak of your career and life?
This is a question that most people have been thinking about.
And standing on the shoulders of great men and predecessors, we may be able to find answers, shortcuts, and methods.
William Cohen combed through Drucker's massive works, summarized Drucker's principles of self-improvement, extracted the essence of Drucker's thoughts on entrepreneurship, marketing, and management, and launched his book "Drew "Kotler's Wisdom of Self-Development". Once this book was released, it received high praise from Philip Kotler, the "father of modern marketing", Howard Behar, former president of Starbucks International, and Peter Drucker School of Management. Shao Minglu, the founder and chairman of Guanghua Social Enterprise Group, and others jointly recommended this book and gave it high praise. Howard, the former president of Starbucks International, even said that everyone should have such a book on their bookshelf. ?
Why is this book great? Because the great man studied in this book is Drucker, the father of modern management and the founder of the management discipline. The dissemination of his ideas has influenced more than 130 countries and has a profound impact on sociology and economics. How can it be done quickly and effectively? This book is definitely a good start to learn and understand Drucker's business management ideas and effectively apply Drucker's theory.
And learning is the best shortcut to our growth. Then, through learning, you will learn a new method. You will understand how to plan after the goal is determined, and when the goal and purpose Once this is clear, when planning your path to success, understand that you need to make various plans to achieve your goals and objectives. Therefore, how to cleverly use planning to make a road map, guide us to the place we want to achieve or achieve the goals we want to achieve, and let us start a new life journey.
After the goals and objectives are determined, how to achieve the goals and ensure the realization of the goals?
How to do it?
How can we ensure that the execution is not aliased?
What is planning and how to plan well?
In "Drucker's Wisdom of Self-Development", the chapter on planning details the importance of planning and how to do it well. Planning is the guarantee for achieving goals.
Not only will we re-understand the role of planning, the definition of planning, and the applicability of regulations, but the author William Cohen also introduces Drucker's planning method in detail. Planning is the path to achieve goals. It is a step-by-step and methodical in-depth thinking on how to achieve goals and objectives. Moreover, based on Drucker's ideas, William Cohen designed a seven-step path to design a planning method. This seven-step path is suitable for organizational planning, life planning, and the formulation of various project plans, marketing plans, or other types of plans.
It is impossible for us not to encounter challenges. Challenges in life exist everywhere. We can even use words like "startling at every step" to describe our situation. Maybe we keep moving forward and face life's ups and downs, but if we prepare action plans and alternatives from the beginning, we may be able to face life's challenges more calmly. Maybe you say, even if you make these plans, so what, I still can’t live my life well. In fact, that’s not the case. Maybe you just haven’t found the right planning methods and steps, or you misunderstood the importance of planning. Therefore, we might as well think from another perspective, if we follow the seven-step path planning method, whether we can change our lives, change our organizations, and change our world.
Yes, do it. At most, you will only encounter problems and solve them.
If you don’t do it, you will always just think about it.
Therefore, executing the plan is more important than thinking about the plan.
Therefore, achieving goals is more important than thinking about goals.
Therefore, words must be deeded and deeds must bear fruit.
Effective planning and detailed planning add power to success and increase the possibility of achieving goals.
So, how do we plan? How do we ensure that the plan is reliable, executable and achievable? In the seven steps to making good plans introduced by William Cohen, where should we start?
Next, come and walk into "Drucker's Wisdom of Self-Development" with me, and explore, research, think, and learn planning methods and steps under the guidance of William Cohen.
The introduction is an explanation of the content of the plan, why we are planning, what is the project to be planned, what conditions are included, what goals and objectives we want to achieve, what resources we have, what difficulties we may encounter, what we What you can do, the advantage of doing this is to know as accurately as possible what exactly you intend to do.
For example: On September 26, 2020, I will complete the national review of the book "Confidence, Sustainable Growth". What's this? This is the goal. So, what’s the brief for this project? I need to explain it. Suppose I want to plan to complete the book opening task by September 26th, why do I need to plan? In order to ensure that the goal is achieved and the task is completed, what is the project that needs to be planned? It is a dismantling of a course and a good book in the Dongguan area. What conditions are included? Book - received. People - I, the book dismantling gang, Dongguan Lexiang Shared Helm, and a member of the national *** dismantling team, what goals and objectives can I achieve? Improve yourself and grow with everyone. What resources do we have? A group of learning enthusiasts, the support and encouragement of the editorial department and the publishing house, the logistical support and influence of the book-opening gang, the strong support and participation of the branch, the personal practice and book familiarity of the book-opening artists, and the setting of prizes. What difficulties might you encounter? Maybe the publicity work is not done well, which will affect the registration effect, maybe the book opener himself does not understand and study the books thoroughly enough, maybe there is a problem with the venue, maybe the learners are not interested, etc. What can we do? Get the book and read it thoroughly and intensively three times, report on the activities of the branch, and participate in the study and discussion of the national *** group. Sometimes, it is not necessarily caused by external reasons, but more likely because you are not good enough. For example, the book is not familiar, the course design is not perfect, the book opening skills are not proficient, or the book opener does not have enough aura, etc. All in all, if the flowers bloom, the butterflies will come. If they don't come, you can only practice your internal skills hard. So, what is an introduction to this project and how to write it? This is the first step to good planning, the idea of ??a brief. If you think about these issues clearly and thoroughly, you will be one step closer to achieving your goals.
What kind of situation we face, whether it is a business organization or personal life, the environment and situation we face affect our choices.
Let’s take the nationwide demolition project as an example. What kind of situation do we face in this project? There are many study enthusiasts, limited energy, not enough dedicated study, not enough perfect book openers, and the influence of splitting the helm. etc. What are the good aspects? These should be thought about carefully.
What problems and opportunities do we have on the way to achieve our goals and objectives? What is the nature of these problems, why are opportunities, and how should we correctly face and apply these problems or opportunities.
Is this really our goal and purpose?
What is strategy, and what exactly should we do to achieve our goals and objectives?
How to implement our strategy, list the actions that must be taken to achieve the strategy, analysis of the effectiveness of these actions, and time planning and arrangement.
The management and control, execution and adjustment of the intermediate process are equally important. How do we ensure that the project goes smoothly during execution?
Maybe after reading these seven steps, you will feel that it is too difficult, and that it is too academic and may not be practical in real life? I also had this doubt, but Drucker insisted that planning must be thought about in any situation. The planning process is not complicated, but it requires a lot of energy and good organization.
And in order to ensure the effectiveness of planning, strategists need to use their brains to carefully analyze various actions and their consequences when clarifying strategies, and the overall decision-making depends on the intuition of executives.
Drucker proposed seven steps to make a good plan. It is not difficult to make a good plan. The difficulty lies in clarifying the strategy. Therefore, William Cohen extracted the following ten principles from Drucker's management philosophy to help people formulate strategies:
1. Dedicate yourself to a certain goal.
2. Take the initiative and stick to it.
3. Effective utilization and gathering of resources.
4. Adopt strategic positioning.
5. Do unexpected things.
6. Keep it simple.
7. Put your opponent in a dilemma.
8. Use indirect strategies to achieve goals.
9. Time arrangement and sequence.
10. Use past success.
Therefore, planning is actually not easy, but if you master the tools of planning, even if it is a seemingly impossible goal, as long as you plan well and have the right strategy, you can still achieve success.
Dear friends, you must be like me, hoping that you can achieve more success. Drucker is our role model. He carefully analyzed his career direction and through planning and correct Strategy has reached the pinnacle of life.
This also reminds me of Sisi’s success.
Everyone knows that Sisi is the youngest Level 3 book opener in our branch, and also the most persistent Level 3 book opener. When she signed up for the online training camp, her schedule was moved to the second period because she missed the registration time. I hesitated for a moment and asked Sisi: "Can you guarantee that you will be the best in this online training camp?" Sisi said: "I will definitely work hard." I asked her what she would do, and she She carefully told me her thoughts and plans for participating in the training camp. The more I listened, the more I liked her. She has such a clear and determined goal, and she also has a very thorough plan for the entire book-opening study. It is her persistence and clarity that The plan impressed me.
You may say, what does this have to do with planning? And what I want to tell you is that this is really a result of careful planning.
Let’s take a look at how Sisi does it:
1. Introduction to ideation. Participate in the online training camp and strive to be the first in the camp. This is the content of Sisi's project planning. Why do you plan? Because you want to become my disciple, you must meet this condition to have the opportunity. The project you want to plan is to master the book-opening learning method as quickly as possible through the online training camp and lay the foundation for becoming my apprentice. However, because the registration time was late, I It is still under consideration, so an additional condition has been added that she must be the first in the camp before she can accept a disciple. Therefore, participating in the online training camp and becoming the first in the camp is the starting point for Sisi to become a third-level book opener.
2. Analyze the situation. There is only one first place in the online training camp, but there are more than a hundred students at the same time, including students who are returning to training, and even high-level students. If Sisi wants to win the first place in the entire camp, she must first correct her attitude. , and strictly formulate a study plan. Also, if you encounter overtime work, you have to find a way to solve it yourself.
3. There are problems or opportunities. What problems and difficulties may Sisi encounter in the online training camp? For example, working hours are tight, she can only do homework at night, and she cannot interact with other students. This may affect the audience's low rating, the quality of the homework does not meet the requirements, etc.
4. Clarify goals and objectives. Is this really our goal and purpose? No. In fact, our goal and purpose is for Sisi to eventually grow into an excellent third-level calligrapher. The main task of the online training camp is to learn and master calligraphy. At the same time, as a master, I have a little bad taste and want to Test her determination and perseverance to become a third-level book opener.
5. Clear strategy.
What is the strategy and what exactly should we do to achieve our goals and objectives? How to become the best student in the whole camp, the quality of homework, learning attitude, learning methods, and personal growth, how can we achieve the ultimate goals and objectives?
6. Study tactics. How to implement our strategy, list the actions that must be taken to achieve the strategy, analysis of the effectiveness of these actions, as well as time planning and arrangement, etc.
7. Execution and control. The management and control, execution and adjustment of the intermediate process are equally important. How do we ensure that the project goes smoothly during execution?
?What is planning and how to plan well? In Sisi’s story, we find that she has a clear goal, and planning is the path for her to achieve her goal. It is her step-by-step and methodical in-depth thinking on how to achieve her goals and objectives. After thinking deeply, she In such a managed and controlled learning training camp, I successfully implemented my plan and moved towards my life goal step by step. Therefore, the importance of planning is self-evident. The seven-step path of planning can not only help the organization to make good plans and achieve organizational progress, but also applies to our personal life planning, as well as the formulation of various project plans, Marketing plans or various other types of plans.
So, you see, Sisi successfully completed the online training camp and became the first in the camp, and soon she also joined the ranks of the third-level book opener and became a Excellent third-level book opener.
If we must use a word to describe this matter, I think there are only four words that can express it: all wishes come true. ——Yes, Sisi succeeded because she had a goal, a plan, and a clear strategy.
It is worth noting that in Sisi’s successful experience, if there is any missing step, or Sisi’s goal is not clear enough, her desire to succeed is not strong enough, she wants to become an excellent open book The strategic design of the family did not rely on the push of the environment, including the help of my master. Perhaps it would take Sisi longer to achieve the goal.
