When it comes to becoming a team leader, Xu Xincheng still has some experience.

Over the years, he has been working hard to improve his leadership, organization, and coordination skills in order to one day become the best team leader.

From elementary school to high school, he has always been a class cadre with excellent academic performance, either a study committee member or a class leader.

However, he understands that when he was a student, in a school where academic performance was the main measure, and in a school where various learning activities were the main part of the activities, those experiences were not strictly speaking, not true team management experience.

A year later, due to his outstanding performance, good attitude and outstanding ability, he became the head of the organization department through the election, and then successfully organized a number of recreational activities and competitions.

At that stage, it can be regarded as truly exercising and improving leadership, organization, overall planning and other abilities, and those experiences can be regarded as real team management experience.

A year and a half ago, when he was promoted to secretary to the general manager, it only took him about two months to stand out from the three secretaries and become the team leader of the entire staff team second only to Assistant Qian, and then successfully led the entire staff team, led colleagues from other departments, and completed one work project and task after another.

This stage gave him the opportunity to develop and demonstrate his management and leadership skills across the board, and those experiences made him an excellent team leader.

However, Xu Xincheng is very clear that this time the situation is very different from the past, this time, he is facing a very big challenge, this is a very complex system engineering, although there are many successful experience in project management before, but this time the challenge is much bigger than the previous ones.

In addition, he faced many problems that he had not encountered before. Among them, the first problem is that every member of the team is much older than him, has deeper qualifications than him, and most importantly, has much higher education than him.

Each of the 21 members of the Xinfei project team has a much higher education than him, including 9 returnees, including a master's degree in finance from Oxford University, a master's degree in economics from Cambridge University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. The other 12 people are all graduates of famous universities in China, including a master's degree in international economic law from Peking University, a master's degree in mathematics from Tsinghua University, and a master's degree in sociology from Fudan University in Shanghai.

In the face of such a team member, he couldn't help but feel bottomless, at least, at first.

As always, when faced with a challenge, his powerful self-regulation mechanism, which had been cultivated for more than ten years, was immediately activated, and he analyzed and summarized the situation he was facing.

First, although each of them has a higher education level than him, in terms of team management, project execution, overall planning and management, it does not matter how high or low the level of education is, and in those aspects, his level is not worse than theirs.

Second, in professional fields such as investment and finance, they are indeed very good, they are indeed much better than him, and they have a lot of work experience in related fields, but this time, the team's work projects, tasks and goals have nothing to do with those fields.

Third, from these years of team management experience, he understands that leadership is not directly related to a person's age, education, etc.

During his tenure as the secretary and assistant to the general manager of Hongfei AI Division, when he was responsible for managing some projects, most of the employees he managed were older than him, but he always dealt with them calmly, and everyone obeyed his management.

Although he is not very old, but his psychological age is not small, he has always been mature and steady, in the world, dealing with people and other aspects have been in place, plus in the general manager Li under a year and a half of secretary and assistant, during the period, in personnel management, project coordination and other aspects have a lot of practice and successful experience, so, he is still very confident.

All in all, the challenge is relatively large, but in front of them, there is no need to be presumptuous, but to treat them with a normal heart.

Having solved the problem of their own mentality, the question now is, how can we make them really convinced of themselves? Also, this time the task is extremely arduous, the time is tight and there are many projects, how can we successfully lead everyone to successfully complete the work task together?

After some serious thinking, Xu Xincheng did four things:

First, last Wednesday morning at 10 a.m., the first meeting, a simple little meeting to get to know each other. Although it was only a 15-minute meeting, his goal has been achieved, that is, to let everyone see his vigorous and resolute style and his attitude of bravely shouldering heavy burdens.

Second, know yourself and your opponent. At two o'clock in the afternoon, he retrieved the personal information of the 18 members of the team from the human resources department and carefully understood the work experience and background of each of them. In the evening, he asked Amanda in detail about each person's role in the project team and what they do.

Third, the second meeting was held at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday for in-depth exchanges and communication.

Fourth, on Saturday, he and three project managers went to the industrial park for a field trip, where they also met with the heads of the partner companies.

During the two meetings, in the past five days, although he was still a little bottomless in his heart, he was calm and capable, and he always seemed calm and calm, and his words and deeds always seemed generous, natural and decent.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and it takes a lot of effort to establish your authority and leadership position in a new team, as well as a lot of skills, such as excellent leadership, effective management methods and methods, etc.

Xu Xincheng has made an analysis and summary, he believes that in order to become an excellent team leader, you must first do the following three things:

First, establish the idea of team first. Xu Xincheng knows very well that this is an era of team fighting, and the idea of thinking about relying only on individual talents and talents, single-handedly breaking into the world, and then building great achievements, is unrealistic and unworkable in this era.

He likes to watch superhero movies produced by companies such as Marvel and DC, in the Marvel Universe, even the talented and rich Iron Man also needs to form a team with superheroes such as Team America, Hulk, and Thor to form the Avengers;

He also occasionally plays games such as StarCraft, World of Warcraft, League of Legends, etc., and in the world of eSports, "there is no perfect individual, only a perfect team" is an unbreakable truth.

Second, be the best Team Player you can be. People who don't want to be a good Team Player won't be a good Team Leader. As a team leader, he is not independent of the team, he is first and foremost a member of the team, and he must be a member who is good at working with other members.

In addition, each team in many times belongs to a larger team and a larger collective, such as now, although he is the leader of this small team, but this team belongs to the larger collective of Sino-American Xinfei Company, in front of Lucy and General Manager Li, in front of the larger team of Sino-American Xinfei Company, he is just a Team Player, he will become the best Team Player, he will give full play to his strengths, contribute to the realization of the company's big team and big goals.

Third, be the best Team Leader you can be. On the premise of doing the first and second points, on the premise of respecting all members of the team, he must have the courage to take responsibility, he must lead by example, he must be good at stimulating the enthusiasm and creativity of everyone, only in this way, can he become the best team leader.
