1.1 The underlying logic of career planning
New career coordinate system
one question
Why is it that some people have been busy for a year and made some money from their knowledge, but they have not added value?
In a system, sudden changes in the value of a single point often hide changes in the value coordinates of the entire profession. Behind the value coordinate is actually a new opportunity and breaking point
a point of view
Career value coordinate system: Industry X Company X Occupation
The career pyramid model in "Career Anchor" by American management scientist Shi En
There are many communities on a map
There are many large and small buildings in the community. They all have three floors: the bottom is the execution layer, the middle is the operation layer, and the top is the decision-making and resource allocation layer.
Big buildings are big companies, small buildings are small businesses.
Development path
Choose an industry
Choose a good building in the industry
Work hard to develop upward. If you can go to the 2nd floor, you can go to the 2nd floor, and if you can go to the 3rd floor, you can go to the 3rd floor. There is a place with a glass ceiling and you can't get to the 3rd floor. You might as well jump to a smaller building and try to go to the 3rd floor.
The old career value coordinate system is loosening
1. The life span of the organization is shortened and the psychological changes of employees
The average lifespan of a small business in Zhongguancun is 1 year, the average lifespan of all small and medium-sized enterprises is 2.97 years, the lifespan of a Fortune 500 company is 40 years, and the lifespan of a Fortune 1000 company is 30 years.
2. The industry is changing rapidly and has no boundaries.
Continuous crossover between industries
Cross-border refers to migrating capabilities from one field to another and generating competitive advantages. But the premise is still that your original abilities are in demand in the new circle
3. People pay more attention to new career coordinates
People care more about peer circles/industry circles/fan circles than coworker circles
In the Internet era, individuals are gradually liberated from organizations and create a new career coordinate system centered on themselves.
Today in the workplace, the most powerful people are no longer the popular idols, but the powerful and influential gods in various vertical fields.
a strategy
Personal value-added strategy
Continue to amplify your influence
Meet with people in your weak relationship circle at least 3 times a month
Continuously improve your abilities
Ask yourself 3 questions
1. Is there anything that I have an advantage over in this circle?
2. What is the most valuable thing for me in this circle?
3. What is something that really interests me?
If you can find the intersection of these three and continue to do this, you will soon form a unique ability label and advantage in the circle
Continuously promote your likable characteristics
This is an era of personalization, and the biggest risk is that you are a person with no characteristics.
The characteristic is the consumption upgrade of value, and value is based on demand.
Observe the needs of the circle, then develop your own relative advantages, and finally the characteristics
The era of personal rise
In the past, we stored our abilities in organizations, and later we stored our abilities in money. Today we may have the opportunity to store our abilities in circles and influence.
The rise of individuals is the future trend, but the personal value system is far from becoming a mainstream
Most people may still need to stay in the company for a long time. On the one hand, you must protect the industry/enterprise and career in your original coordinate system; on the other hand, you must be prepared. When the wind comes, you stand on the second floor with wings, jump and fly.
a summary
Traditional occupational system: industry X enterprise X occupation; land system
Personal era system: circle X ability X characteristics; ocean system
The two systems will coexist for a long time
Three ways to add value in the workplace
1. Continuously establish weak connections to expand your influence
2. Find your own differentiated capabilities and advantages
3. Continue to amplify your own characteristics
6 future core competencies
one question
In such a new professional world, what are the truly important abilities?
Machines are better than people in many fields and are gradually replacing people's jobs
a point of view
Daniel Pink in "A New Mind"
The world has entered an era of high sensibility and high concepts from the past era of high rationality.
There are 6 abilities that are very rare and important
fashionable
Design is "setting up a strategy to make things move forward"
Good design always creates a new solution that makes things work smoothly
Empathy
The ability to think from others’ perspective, or even think more deeply than others
For example, if you read some articles on the Internet and feel that the things they talk about are things that you really want to talk about but can't talk about, the author is very empathetic.
All great product managers have empathy
make an impact
tell a story
All famous best-selling authors/good directors are master storytellers
Business and political leaders also need to be able to tell stories
Integrate
Industries are constantly crossing borders and fields are constantly changing. The strongest people are not always learning from scratch, but those who continue to integrate.
Only when there is a crossover will there be psychological distance and a better understanding of the current situation.
sense of entertainment
The ability to make you feel funny
If you are making products, your products will play with people, then your products will be attractive.
If you are a creative person, if you can play with yourself, you will be creative.
Improve competitiveness
sense of meaning
A person’s ability to lead himself and lead others
The world will change too much in the future, and it is basically impossible for us to know the results clearly when we start. But if you don't do your best, you have no chance of winning. What to do at this time?
Leaders will assign a meaning to the matter itself
In an era of change, our sense of meaning drives us even more profoundly
Self-driven and leading others
When a person integrates 6 abilities together, this person can tell stories, can cross boundaries, understand people's hearts, has taste, is fun, and has a pursuit of life - he will be an extremely powerful person
In the past, those with more rational skills: programmers/accountants
Those with more perceptual skills today: Travel Experience Specialist/Designer/Product Manager/Director
a strategy
In an era where machines are becoming more and more powerful, people who can collaborate with machines are the most powerful.
In today's era, the most powerful people are those who understand both human nature and computers, and those who can use high perceptual abilities to cooperate with high technology.
a summary
6 abilities that will become more and more important in the future world: design sense and storytelling to influence, empathy/cross-border ability and the ability to have fun to make products, and sense of meaning to drive oneself and others Ability
In this era of rapid computer development, we should not feel fear, but joy. Because we can cooperate with computers and become a super individual of this era
3 future career tracks
one question
What is my clear career track?
a point of view
Cesar "The Nature of Growth":
The difference between today's society and primitive society is essentially the difference in the way materials are arranged.
The progress of human society, science and technology and business is a process of increasing the amount of information.
The core functions of the enterprise are also the production, marketing and promotion of information.
The processor in the mobile phone is made of the same material as sand, but Intel arranges the atoms in a completely new way, which makes the prices of the two very different.
The essential difference between whether a book is well written or not is the arrangement of these letters.
This better arrangement is actually information.
The way a person is most accustomed to processing information determines your own career path and type of career.
media person
Spread information subconsciously
Core competency is the ability to continuously diffuse information
Browse a large amount of information, combine it with your own unique perspective, and then spread it in the most acceptable way. One-to-many is called influence, one-to-one is called communication
Sales, public relations, marketing, new media, lecturers, these functions often belong to media people
product person
Subconsciously collect more information, continuously increase the amount of information you have, and become a professional
Core competency is the ability to produce information
Having strong curiosity and continuous thinking are the characteristics of typical product people
Programmers, product managers, R&D and manufacturing, craftsmen, these functions all belong to product people
operator
How to link media people and product people together and form a platform
Core competency is the ability to link
He constantly connects people and things, the future and the present, and better allocates resources.
Most administration, Internet operations, managers at all levels, and investors are typical operators.
a strategy
We often have a misunderstanding that we envy the abilities of those around us, but the clearer you are about what kind of person you are and what track you are in, the more we can stop making unnecessary comparisons and focus on our own direction.
This classification can also help you see more experts in this field.
They may have different careers, different majors, and different industries from yours, but they are actually on the same track, and you may be able to find more people to learn from.
a summary
Today we mentioned that the progress of society, technology and business is a process of continuous information increment, and three different information processing methods determine different career attributes.
Media people disseminate information, product people dig and produce information, and operators link information - combined with your own field, it becomes your own career positioning.
future career trends
Freelancing
an observation
Freelancers are getting more and more attention
"2014 O2O China Freelancer Status Report"
Three major benefits
time freedom
freedom of location
No need to look at the boss’s face
Three major disadvantages
Unstable income
Narrow social scope
Heavy psychological burden
What is freedom?
Freedom = Responsibility = Ability = Past Choices
A project gives you the freedom to make decisions, but at the same time you also have to bear the responsibility after making the decision.
The reason why you are given this responsibility is because everyone thinks you have the ability.
And your current abilities are the result of how you choose to use your time every day in the past.
For those who complain that they are trapped in a company and have to work beyond their limits and have no time to study, in fact, you need to realize that it is not that the company is bad, but that you do not have the freedom to negotiate or change. To put it simply, there is no such ability
a concept
Freelancing
Working from home doesn’t necessarily mean freedom
You can choose when and where to work, but you still need to face the customer's final timeline
You still need to choose a client you may not like, and his face may not necessarily be prettier than your boss’s.
You don’t have to be free in a company
Many corporate executives do not sit at work; a truly excellent designer also has the freedom to discuss plans with his or her managers and even reject them.
The reason why they do not resign and work on their own is partly because the organization gives them a relaxed environment, and partly because they realize that personal abilities can only be magnified on the platform of the organization. They make the organization successful, and the organization in turn makes them successful.
Freelancing may be the best position for individuals and organizations in this era. We can practice in peacetime, we can create together when we advance, we can protect ourselves when we retreat, and we can forget each other in the world.
a strategy
The essence of freelancing is not freedom, but professional ability
Employment-free trade-co-creation
Freelancing means reaching a state of free trading. You don’t have to work for this person. If you don’t like what you do here, you can find another place.
The freedom you are looking forward to in the short term is the freedom of "not having to deal with these people"; in the long term it is the freedom of "not having to work for money"
Behind this freedom is the ability of "one person is a company"
ability
Product capabilities
The ability to encapsulate capabilities into products and the ability to continue learning
By packaged as a product, I mean something deliverable, valuable, something that still exists without you
Marketing ability
The ability to sell abilities
Operational capability
Self-management, as well as basic financial and legal capabilities
If you can possess these abilities by yourself, one person is a company, and you have the ability to trade freely at any time. This is freelancing
a summary
There are three levels in the relationship between people and organizations: employment - I have to do it for you; transaction - I choose to do it for you; co-creation - we do it together
The freedom of freelancing refers to a state where one’s abilities have reached the level where one can freely trade with companies.
People with a freelance career are a group of people: they can package their abilities into products; they can also carry out marketing and business cooperation; they can self-manage and upgrade themselves, and they also have basic financial and legal capabilities
Combined work
one question
What is the ideal working model for a freelancer?
a concept
Charles Handy
He is the ancestor of a freelancer
Handy is a professor at the London Business School, has published a book, has an apartment in the city and countryside, and is the father of two children. He considers himself very successful.
Handy's father was a priest in a rural Irish suburb. He worked there for 54 years and never left. Handy sympathized with his father who had never left the countryside in his life, but the memorial service was attended by many people and people mourned his father with tears in their eyes. This incident had a great impact on Handy
Handy began to think again, who has a more successful life, my father or me?
He gradually realized that a life supported only by work was not perfect enough to accommodate his passion, dedication and responsibility for his family.
Combined work
Divide work into four parts: paid work, study work, family work and voluntary work
I spend 6 months every year working, 3 months studying, 2 months spending time with my family, and 1 month doing voluntary work.
Because you study, work, and spend time with your family continuously and full-time, your efficiency will be very high, often much faster than those who study piecemeal.
Family work and voluntary work provide people with a sense of belonging and meaning, and learning and working allows one to continue to upgrade.
Even if you only spend half the time working, your income and output will be many times higher
If you can't do it in one year, it's possible to do it in one week.
A teacher arranges her work like this - she stays at home with her children six days a week. In the evenings, from after get off work to 9:30, she hires an aunt to take care of her children and arrange her own study. She spends half the time during the day. Use it to work and half the time to study
a strategy
Portfolio work is a great way to avoid some of the biggest problems for freelancers in general.
lack of sense of belonging
No contact with society
Work lacks meaning
There is no way to continue learning
Draw a square on the paper, and then draw the proportion of your work in the first stroke, and then divide the remaining part into three parts, respectively for study, family, and voluntary work, and after deciding, stick to it.
a summary
We talked today about the story of Charles Handy and the life of his famous combination work. Combination work can well avoid the problems of freelancers’ sense of no destination, lack of meaning and active learning.
3 new career trends
an observation
In addition to freelancing and combined work, are there more career forms?
a concept
local youth
Multinational companies have a saying, "think global, act local." think global make local
While everyone is flocking to big cities, there is a new force. Young people are beginning to think about having their own life stage outside the city, returning to the local area for development, and developing their own business in the way of "local production, full network sales" cause
reason
The development of the Internet and logistics has given all second- and third-tier cities a chance to re-emerge. There are many possibilities for local characteristics and the Internet.
With the upgrading of consumption, truly unique, natural and high-quality local resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
The local employment costs are very low, life pressure is low, and the unique living environment is more in line with people’s nature of life.
new craftsman
Today, as consumption upgrades and the tertiary industry becomes more and more developed, more and more craftsmen are emerging in China - unlike traditional industrial agriculture, the service industry requires large-scale collaboration. Basically, one person can do it, and at the same time Production is limited
At this time, excellent craftsmanship will definitely become more and more valuable
Find a craft that is unique to you and becoming a craftsman is increasingly becoming a good choice
Social Enterprise and Charity
Young people who have little financial pressure for the time being and are seeking a sense of social significance often join charity organizations.
Many domestic public welfare organizations often have low incomes and insufficiently standardized management, which may not significantly improve your professional abilities.
You can consider joining the more popular social enterprises (organizations that solve social problems in the form of commercial organizations), or do something with social benefits in your enterprise
a strategy
In "Drive 3.0", Daniel Pink proposed three inner driving forces of modern workers: autonomy, expertise and sense of meaning.
I think it corresponds to these three forms of work - local youth pursuing independence, craftsmen pursuing expertise, and social enterprises pursuing a sense of meaning. These three different career methods are also the ways in which super individuals may work.
a summary
Today we talked about three increasingly popular future career possibilities. These three careers are different from the previous ways of positioning through industry, major, and work experience.
Local youth are positioned through geographical resources, craftsmen are positioned through a field they are obsessed with, and public welfare and social enterprises are positioned through the social issues around you that you care about.
