Introduction

1. Do important things first, and only do one thing well at a time.

2. The more a manager wants to make a significant contribution, the longer the "whole time" is needed. Being able to do two things alternately at the same time is because a "minimum whole block of time" can be allocated alternately.

3. Doing one job at a time is the best way to work faster. The more we can focus our time, effort, and resources, the more we can accomplish.

4. Problems with people who accomplish nothing: first, they underestimate the time required to complete a task; second, they like to rush work; third, they start several important things at the same time, but cannot guarantee the minimum completion of each important thing. block time. (That’s me!)

5. Effective managers focus their efforts on doing one thing well for a period of time—their time and energy, and that of the entire organization.

Section 1? Get rid of yesterday

Meet

1. Managers are single-minded. The first principle is to get rid of the past that is no longer valuable.

2. Every manager must constantly spend time, energy and talent to make up for and break out of yesterday's actions and decisions.

3. Yesterday’s success can leave endless impact, far beyond the validity period of success.

4. New principle: Every bill, every agency, and every plan of the government must be regarded as "temporary" and should automatically expire after a certain number of years.

5. "Plan review" system: delete outdated and ineffective plans.

6. When an effective manager intends to do a new task, he must first delete an original business.

7. Social organizations are just like biological organisms and must remain small and sophisticated.

8. New jobs should be assigned to people who can prove their ability.

Confusion

1. Past success often evolves into "egoistic assets in management". ——How to explain?

2. The example of DuPont is too simple, without details, and cannot be remembered. It can be changed to any company name. ——How to understand?
