Chapter 216: The Wisest Choice
In previous lives, subverting logic was not an uncommon thing.
For example, Uber is the world's largest taxi company, but its founder, Kalanick, is actually a coder and has no exposure to the car rental industry.
Ali is the world's largest retailer, but Jackma is a teacher who has been teaching English for 7 years, but he is actually just a computer blind who knows neither IT nor the Internet.
The rise of Airbnb has terrified the entire world hospitality industry, but the founder is actually an artist, a graduate of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Art, and has nothing to do with the hospitality industry
There are so many examples of this, so the disruption in every field often does not come from the regular internal iteration of the industry. On the contrary, all the subversion comes from the layman who can't beat the eight poles.
This is the "subversive logic" unique to this era of information explosion.
This subversive logic is mainly due to the fact that the cycle of knowledge update is getting faster and faster. In the eighteenth century, it took 80 to 90 years to update knowledge, and in the nineteenth century, this cycle was shortened to 30 years, and now, the cycle of knowledge renewal in many disciplines is less than two years.
In other words, this was an era when empiricism was completely out of power. Because every two years, everyone's results will be cleared once, no matter how senior you are, you have to stand on the same starting line with newcomers.
It's also a particularly brutal time, because no matter how brilliant you once was, you can still be replaced in the next second. However, it was also a particularly good time, because it was full of opportunities, and those who came after it could also be frontrunners.
If you can't keep up with the trend of the times and can't be a subversive of the times, you can only become a victim of being subverted.
Of course, it is not denied that the cross-bank cross-border becomes bankrupt, which goes back to the interlacing like a mountain, and if you want to succeed across the border, the prerequisite is that you must use a new vision and a great vision to see the industry under the correct cognitive framework, which is the "layman's vision" that the subversive needs to have.
In the same way, a layman can also lead an insider, but the premise is to respect the insider, if you don't understand and don't have self-knowledge, then it's troublesome. You can't be jealous because others know more than you, and as a boss, this is not only a kind of murder, but also a kind of self-confidence!
If a leader is only self-serving, it is not only easy to make mistakes in decision-making, but also when employees are not being used because they are not being respected as they deserve, and motivation will be discouraged.
Only by respecting the insiders and making the insiders feel comfortable and do their best is the wise move of the leader and the key to the success of the career!
"Some people may worry that the boss is so young and doesn't understand technology, if I, a layman who doesn't understand professional knowledge, point fingers at you professionals, there will be chaos, failure, and you will feel aggrieved and depressed. Right?"
Standing in front of a table in the lobby of the game studio, Arthur sat on the edge of the table, supported his hands on the table, looked at all the subordinates sitting in the hall with a smile, humorously laughed at himself, his words also made many subordinates have strange looks on their faces, looking at each other, and some even lowered their heads to hide some smiles on their faces, and the silent scene made Arthur shake his head and laugh.
"Actually, it's normal to have this kind of thinking, but I also have a little different opinion, and I want to say that it is precisely because I don't understand technology that our company's technology can become the best.
I don't understand technology, which leads me to respect technology. Because we can't fight. But if I'm very tech-savvy, you're going to be miserable, and I'm going to tell you this and that. That's why because I don't understand, I look at you with curiosity and admiration and say you should do it."
"Huh"
As soon as Arthur's words fell, it caused a good-natured chuckle from the audience, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed, looking at the smiles on the faces of his subordinates, Arthur continued to laugh.
"Of course, not knowing technology doesn't mean I don't respect technology. Here I can't quarrel with you technicians, for you, the tragedy is that the boss doesn't understand technology at all, and the luckiest thing is that the boss doesn't understand technology, if the boss understands technology very well and sits next to you every day, you will definitely not be able to do well, but fortunately, I have prepared a CEO who understands technology for you."
"Bang Bang—"
The applause rang out, and everyone in the game studio gave their young boss a round of applause.
Arthur smiled and raised his hands, pressed down a few times, and then the applause slowly stopped, and continued to laugh, "Actually, it is easier for lay leaders to establish a discussion atmosphere and give you enough respect and space, so that you can let go of your hands and feet and make bold innovations."
Of course, my boss, in addition to paying you a salary, the most important job is to make myself the only detector of game products in the company, and to be able to detect whether the game is fun or not, because 80% of people are the same as me, we don't understand technology, and we are in awe of technology, as long as it's fun.
So, if Arthur Boleyn says it's not fun, no matter how good the technology used in this game is, it's a fool's errand!"
"Bang Bang—"
At this time, the whole studio burst into more enthusiastic applause again, and everyone stood up, with an excited and excited expression on their faces, looking at the young boss who had been smiling with recognition and admiration, and at this moment, their recognition of Arthur began to soar.
There's nothing like writing code under an enlightened boss in a free and relaxed working environment, which makes these coders happier.
"Thank you. Okay, that's all for today's meeting, I won't delay everyone's time anymore, you can all get busy. Arthur smiled and stretched out his hand to wave, and after saying that, he walked out of the game studio, accompanied by Edward, who was also smiling.
"Boss, what you said is really good"
"Huh. Hearing Edward's words, Arthur just shook his head and chuckled twice, to be honest, to make this group of IT elites willing to be loyal to his layman, it is not possible to have enough equipment and self-confidence, compared with the extremely intelligent technical genius, Arthur does not exclude himself from playing the role of a fool, with a foolish management style, it will be easier to control this group of people.
"I'll leave it to you here. ”
"Don't worry, boss"
Back at the investment company's office downstairs, Arthur called Angela, who was reviewing all the assets and finances of the Shore Power Plant, to get the latest progress, and after making sure that everything was going smoothly and methodically, he began to rush to finish "Fifty Shades of Gray" by the end of November.
To be honest, as a former Internet writer, it is not very difficult to write this kind of small article of the domineering president Mary Sue, not to mention creating 10,000 pages every day, five or six thousand is not a problem.
It's a pity that the current Arthur, a writer is just a sub-profession of his, he can't devote himself to literary creation, there are too many distractions, and he doesn't want to spend all his good time facing boring and lonely words.
So, by four o'clock in the afternoon, after making sure that the price of gold hadn't moved much and was still around $1,084, he packed his things, got on his bike, and rushed to the health club.
Mark, the black buddy coach who received the call, greeted him in the hall with a smile, Arthur and Mark walked up to the second floor together with a smile, looking at the fitness equipment hall on the second floor, which was more lively than the last time, and there were really a lot of people.
"Excuse me—"
Arthur and Mark, who were standing at the doorway, watching the situation in the hall, were interrupted by an abrupt female voice, Arthur hurriedly got out of the way, turned around and said apologetically "I'm sorry"
"Thanks, it's okay. ”
Arthur looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, no, it should be a beautiful girl, he was really amazed, such a strong career capital, and the career of the ninth wonder that he personally studied, not to let it go!
She is tall, with slender limbs and a sense of line, especially with an angelic face, a black vest and tight gym pants, which outlines her entire figure full of deadly youhuo force.
Seeing the other party smile at him and walk into the fitness hall quickly, Arthur looked at the invincible long T and graceful back, retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at the black buddy Coach Mark who had been smiling beside him and said, "It seems that I choose your club, it is really the wisest choice!"
