Advanced Rule of Workplace —— "Read More" —— Reflections on McKinsey Elite's Efficient Reading Method

Chi Yuyouji is an example of success through reading. From the previous technical talents to McKinsey's work in 12, most advanced methods are knowledge gained from books. He believes that the depth and breadth of this book cannot be achieved by other studies. If you want to apply the contents of the book to your work and personal growth, the most important thing is to put them into action.

In the process of reading, we should examine, think and understand knowledge from a broad perspective, proceed from the overall situation, look at things rationally and clearly, and improve ourselves.

Tap your own development potential: reading books written by writers with unique vision will make us deeply feel that "we still have many shortcomings." Reading allows us to understand ourselves more deeply and break through ourselves.

Cultivate leadership skills, especially when reading novels, biographies or books related to psychology, be able to understand others' emotions, be considerate of others, and gradually have strong communication skills and be able to give play to leadership skills.

? Mastering the ability of independent thinking, opinions and ideas can not be established from scratch, books can bring us an opportunity to have thinking ability. Will gradually form their own unique views.

Make countermeasures and stay ahead of the future. If you want to simulate the work scene, you can read books related to enterprises. How Panasonic, Sony, Uniqlo, Apple, Facebook and other companies were founded and developed, what difficulties they encountered in the process and how to solve them. Understand the troubles of entrepreneurs and see them try to break through difficulties again and again. You will imagine how you will deal with these problems and lead the whole company.

His idea is that books are the way to learn knowledge and need to be used after learning, so he mentioned several reading methods that apply what he has learned.

? 1. Express your thoughts immediately after reading it.

However, we have read books ourselves, and it is difficult to publish our ideas in a short time. He recommended four methods, which I think are very practical.

(1) Identify a topic that you are most concerned about.

(2) Decide the outline of the article in advance.

(3) Give representative examples.

4 use a timer to urge yourself to finish.

2. Reading is the starting point and output is the key point.

After reading a book, try to share it with others and explain the touching and interesting contents in the book. In this way, we can not only clarify our own thoughts, but also improve our ability to explain to others, improve our communication skills, and gradually form a virtuous circle.

3. Conduct in-depth and extensive discussions.

After determining the books to be read and the deadline for reading, you can call a reading activity and read together. After reading a book, you can not only write down your thoughts with friends, but also discuss the contents of the book, so that you can have a deeper understanding of the books you have read and train how to express your views.

4. After reading a book, write a "reading file".

Reading the document says so.

The purpose of reading this book

After reading.

What are you going to do after reading this book?

What are you going to do after 3 months, and what changes have you made?

Read your notes again after 6 months, and think about the knowledge in the book and the part of your mind that you want to put into practice.

Finally, he suggested that you can read all the works of excellent writers, which I deeply understand now. Although not every book is a good book, most of them will benefit you a lot.
