New product managers usually send out a strong emotional signal, that is, "radical", can also be said to be enthusiastic, can also be said to be impulsive, anyway, just a sentence, "I feel that I can do more than the current, I want to do more" .
Huawei Ren Zhengfei fired Peking University high-quality students, I think everyone should have some understanding, a recent college student wrote a letter of advice to Huawei, a cream student who has not experienced the big world, where to know what is the lifeblood of the enterprise.

Zhang Wuji fell off a cliff to learn the Nine Yang Divine Skills, which was a good opportunity. At the top of the light, although the performance is eye-catching, it is actually a thug, and the puppet inside the Ming Sect has always been in the Latest Mailing Database position of fighting fires everywhere, at the mercy of others, which is pitiful.

But what do you have
The industry is like a road, some roads are very straight and flat, is Kangzhuang Avenue; Some of the roads are rugged and forest paths. The road determines how far you can go, how high you can go, and the upper limit of the company.
The company is like a car, some are BMW, some are Chery; Some are oil-burning, some are power-burning. The car determines how fast you wait, how far you drive, our limit.
We are all passengers in the car, playing different roles. The car is driving high, then we can see far; The car is out of gas, we are going to add; The tire of the car is broken, and we have to make it up; Or even put weapons cannons on cars, and that's what we're going to do.
We all hope that we are sitting on a BMW, driving on the Kangzhuang Avenue, and you don't have to do anything, you will gain more experience and vision than others; However, we often take ordinary family cars, driving on mountain and forest paths, until one day we arrived at Kangzhuang Avenue in parallel, converted our family cars into high-speed racing cars, and started a life of opening and hanging.
Saying this, I want to tell you that if you want to be successful in making a product, you have to experience enough.
Less than half a year after coming to the company, you don't have to understand the business
After more than 2 years of products, I dare not say that I know the business very well, what is the business, what kind of role I need to assume, how to increase business usage, these are in the stage of exploration, there is no general model, only continuous practical experience.
When I first made the product, an Ali product director said, "After coming to the company for less than half a year, you don't come to talk to me about business", because you don't understand, don't understand the actual situation facing the company, and talk about personal-centered considerations.
As in the first two examples, you can choose to understand, but your focus should not be here, how to accurately implement a demand is what should be done, no soldier who does not fight can become a general. Each stage has important things, the initial stage is to implement highly, produce results, rather than considering the layout and strategic approach from the beginning; When you go through the pit step by step, it is only a matter of time before you are in a higher position.
Product managers can't grow without experiencing some accidents. Didi say that Didi has not experienced a safety accident? Are you saying that TikTok has not experienced regulation? Are you saying that Taobao has not experienced fakes? These are all reported, escalated events, and then reacted.
