Managers must learn to reset their mentality to zero
Introduction: As a manager, you are busy all day long, not only to deal with various contradictions within the enterprise, but also to coordinate complex tasks. External relationships are in a state of impetuousness most of the time.
In an impetuous state of mind, it is impossible to practice management comprehension. From this point of view, getting rid of the impetuous mentality through the method of zeroing the mentality is the first step in the cultivation of management understanding. Below, we recommend several practical methods to achieve a state of mind zero.
Psychological suggestion, self-reminder. Before going to work every day, recite silently three times: Cleanse away impatience and return your mentality to zero. ? and other slogans to adjust your mentality; place reminder signs on your desk or other eye-catching places with words like "Nothing can go far without tranquility, no ambition can be clear without indifference?" and other famous quotes as mottos to motivate yourself. ; In your work diary, after going to work every day, write three times famous quotes or your own methods of overcoming impetuous psychology. Through these self-suggestions, you can develop an empty cup consciousness and gradually overcome your impetuous mentality.
Tell yourself a story. Tell yourself a short story every day about how your mentality returned to zero. It is best to tell it aloud, and write the relevant revelations in your diary or blog. I recommend two short stories for you to use. The first is the story of an Eskimo who is less than one year old: Eskimos believe that when they fall asleep at night, they die, and when they wake up in the morning, they are resurrected and given new life. This is what the Eskimos mean every day when they say they are less than a day old. In real life, you will never see a worried Eskimo. If, like the Eskimos, you "let go" and put your worries and anxieties aside, that's mental zeroing. The second is the story of a life insurance salesman: He made 187 insurance policies in a month, which can be said to have created a sales miracle. His experience is: Start from zero every day, start from zero every time. Every time he completes an order, he tells himself that I have reached zero again. It is this mentality of returning to zero all the time that makes him make consecutive decisions. I even thought it was impossible to sign a contract. ?Continuously reset, constantly return to zero, the tree of life is evergreen; constantly reset, constantly start, and every start is full of passion; there is nothing impossible in life and work, if it doesn't work, reset it, if it doesn't work, go back to zero; if it doesn't work, start all over again. Mr. Ma Mingzhe, Chairman and General Manager of Ping An Insurance Company, likes to advocate a "return to zero mentality" to every employee. He said that every day is a starting point, and every work should start from scratch. That is to say, there should always be an enterprising mentality, because the sun is new every day, and every day should be done with a new mentality. Learn something new. To achieve a breakthrough, a person must forget the past, let go of success, and start over.
Outdoor sports, empathy experience. It is through outdoor sports or perspective-changing experiences to achieve a state of mind zero. Research shows that when participating in outdoor sports, the body will secrete a hormone that makes people feel relaxed and happy physically and mentally. Several of my entrepreneurial friends working in Beijing, on my advice, climb Xiangshan Mountain once a week as long as they do not travel for business. After several years of persistence, the effect is very good. Wang Shi, chairman of Vanke, is an example in this regard. In 2003, he successfully climbed to the top of the 8,848-meter Mount Everest, setting a record as the oldest climber in China. Some people say he is not doing his job properly, while others say he is doing a fashion show. In fact, his mentality is at zero.
According to Wang Shi himself, mountain climbing has become a unique way of thinking for him. When explaining his insights into the extreme experience of mountain climbing, he said, "I have climbed mountains for several years and I know that in the process of mountain climbing, everyone is actually like a grandson, hunching step by step, carrying things on his back, panting, That's very unsightly. ?Wang Shi went from being the chairman of a listed company to being a grandson when he was mountain climbing. This gap is zero. Coupled with his near-death experience, it will achieve a complete shocking adjustment of mentality. Only with this mentality can he have such a profound life and understand the essence of management.
A boss I know in Shandong had a perspective-changing experience. That was 2006, when he was 48 years old. In order to reset his mentality, he went to Beijing to apply for a part-time job in the name of a business trip.
I rented a bed for 40 yuan per day in a small hotel near Sijiqing. I traveled for three days before I applied for a job as a handyman in a small hotel. His job is to clean, take out the trash, wash dishes, choose vegetables and other menial tasks, working more than 10 hours a day. The proprietress of the small restaurant always scolded him for being slow, and the 20-year-old waiter also yelled at him. Even so, he endured everything and worked diligently to the best of his ability. But after only working for 10 days, the landlady still thought he was too slow and couldn't do heavy work, so she fired him! Two weeks later, he returned to the company and felt like a different person. Employees see themselves from different perspectives. This is the result of the mentality returning to zero.
Business managers do not necessarily have to go to other places for experience. They can work as a worker in their own factory for a day, or work as a farm worker in an ordinary mountain village for two days. As long as you want to experience it in another person's shoes, there are many ways. ;
