There are many friends on 9CBS to talk about the transformation of technology to management, I think there are two levels of problems here:
First, it is suitable for management
It is not suitable for everyone from technology to management. Some technicians seem to be born for research and development, and some technicians are born to managers, but they are only in the door of technology.
This is a career planning issue, how to measure yourself is not suitable for management? Of course, it is the best for a complete professional career plan to have a comprehensive understanding of your career interest, skills, values. However, there is also a simple way, that is, ask yourself two questions: 1, do you prefer technology or more like management? 2. Like management more, like management work itself, or like the various treatments and opportunities brought about by management?
Second, from technology to management - mentality adjustment is key
It is more difficult to transform into a manager. In this process, you must be independent and confidently as a team leader. Suddenly, you have to face a lot of things, to encourage everyone's morale, keep the team's vitality, let everyone They are all concentrated on some targets that they may not care, from a technical personnel who have a focus on the technical skills, to transform into a manager of interpersonal communication and the result is the result, which is not easy. .
This is a professional development issue. I see that one of the purpose of the management channel is to provide some services for "developers who want to manage posts". So, for such friends, I have the following recommendations:
1. Adjust the tendency of heavy technology, light management
There is a characteristic of people who do technology, that is, the technology is the most realistic "hard skill", which may be the reason why some friends are worried about the transformation of "technology loss". Yes, in this process, the proportion of technology will definitely be replaced by some of the proportion of management. The process of transformation to the management is actually a "giving" process. There is "" to have "get", the big "" has a big "get". This is a transformation of a professional role.
2, play the technical background advantage
This method of Wzmin is one of the very effective ways: "So when you deal with our customers, you always help them solve some technical problems, so slowly to open some markets."
3, mentality adjustment is more important
During the transformation process, learning new management skills are very necessary and important, but this transformation is a general process takes about 18-24 months. In such a long time, the mentality adjustment is more than the skills. It is important.
Just as Wang Zidong said that he said when he feels from technology to management transformation: "This shift process I conflict. I don't want to give up this craft - such as a master of a dance sword, the result will be the sword Hang up to do something else. Go to another field, if you can't make it, come back, it is also very risky. Later, I took the so-called 'sweet lemon psychology' - I had to eat, lemon is sweet. When I have to accept management duties, I have to accept and taste the happiness. A taste is actually good. Just drink coffee for the first time, coffee is bitter, the first time I drink beer, it is also suffering The same is true. In fact, you will drink more, you will taste the fragrant alcohol. "
In fact, no matter how coffee is good, lemon is also, and you are afraid that only you know, from technology to management, the experience is the psychological course of Nirvana.
Finally, give a story of a friend who is transition from technology to manage:
The eagle is the longest life of the world. When the eagle lived until 40, its paws began to aging, and they could not effectively grab the prey. It is 70 years old. It is necessary to live as long life, it must make difficulties in 40 years old. Its of its rumor is growing and bends, almost encounters the chest. Its wings have become very heavy because its feathers are very thick and thick. Let the flying very hard.
It only has two options: wait for death, or after a very painful update process. 150 days long drill. It must fly to the top of the mountain. Building a nest on the cliff. Stay there. Don't fly. The eagle first uses it to hit the rock until it is completely detached. It will pull the nail one with a new round. Then I waited quietly to wait for the new. When the new nails grow out, they unplug the feathers. After 5 months, the new feather is longer. The eagle began to fly.
Recently 30 years of years!
In our lives, sometimes we must make a difficult decision.
Start an updated process.
We must abandon the old habits, old traditions, so that we can fly.
As long as we are willing to put down the old baggage, we are willing to learn new skills, we can play our potential and create new future.
