Technology is very good, when the manager is
Moderator: What is the professional development path of technical personnel and management personnel? Hu Xiaoti (IBM China Software Lab Services Department General Manager): There are two main careers in IBM: a specialized technical personnel, and there is a management talent. Technical companies like IBM software services, manage talents are usually transformed from specialized technical talents, which is very common. Technology is very good, when the manager is, this is very normal. Of course, it is very different from the skill requirements. I have seen many excellent technical talents. I have encountered many difficulties when I have just turned to manage talents, especially in his first year. I just talked about talent skills, there are many new requirements in this area, not to do very good technical talents, you can manage talents. The difference between the two talents is that manager talents will pay attention to how to drive other technical talents, cultivate others, and can lead their employees to provide coaching guidance.
Huang Yingxia (Baidu Online Senior Recruitment Supervisor): In Baidu, we advocate "study every moment, progress every day". Because Baidu is a new technology leading company, it must be studying every day and progress every day. In terms of career, we will generally do the advanced software engineers, we will provide two channels, one is the road to technical experts, and the other is if employee has the will of management, we will also provide employees. A passage that is developing in the management direction.
Zheng Shuang (BEA System (China) Co., Ltd. HR manager): One thing is worthy of affirmation, in BEA, the current manager of almost all business sectors is prior to promotion of technical personnel.
You ask me that you can not be a manager, you must first ask yourself to take this responsibility.
Moderator: Do you have a management of management training to manage your management skills and to help them successfully transform him? Hu Xiaoti: There will be some training for these people. When we pick out those who have a very potential to do technical management and leadership, they will put them in a big management talent. There are some courses, and the HR course and management courses must be on. If you do a manager, you have to teach them how to go interview, how to give new employees to do coaches, how to do consulting others.
Guo Wei (Baidu Online Technology Director): Technician transforms to management, I think the most important thing is the problem. If the engineer has time long, the details will be more than the details, such as our previous program, often a small problem spent for a long time to overcome it. When doing managers and management, it is often necessary to consider the overall situation, and the feeling of management is stronger, and you need to learn balance. Whether it is any problem, you have to find the most important problem among the existing resources to solve growth, which is the primary changes in the transformation of manager. Any technician can do a manager. I met a lot of technicians, I said that I want to do management, I don't say that we don't give him a chance, one, objectively, to do management opportunities should be relatively small; second, in Baidu, want to do qualified technology Managers are not a very relaxed thing, you have to bear more responsibility. First of all, as a manager, you manage people may be smart than you, he is an expert in this area. You do a manager, you have to maintain better communication with these experts, you must have an open, communicative mentality and method of ways. Second, do managers will bear greater pressure, and the pressure in Baidu is not light. The Internet industry in Baidu has developed very quickly. Everyone feels that the Internet's competition has been converted from the portal competition to the search engine competition. In such a competitive, the company has developed very rapidly, as a manager, the responsibility you are borne is great. You may lead to a few tens of people who have not been reactive because of their own dereliction of duty, you have to bear this responsibility. Take my own example, I am also from the person who is technically. Some people think that I have arrived at the manager, I don't have to overtake. In fact, it is not the case, Baidu manager, like me, go to get off work in the evening, does not mean that today's work is over, sometimes you have to continue working at home, which means your responsibility is greater. You ask me that you can not be a manager, you must first ask yourself to take this responsibility. Can't do management, you can also do master
Moderator: If those technical talents wishing to manage posts, what should I do? How to manage this road? Not all technical talents have managed days, not suitable for management? Zhou Ziming (IBM China Research Center Director): I just said two kinds of talents, a kind of technical personnel, one to manage talents. In addition to helping technicians have successfully transformed into management, IBM China Research Center also emphasizes that some technical experts can focus on a certain technical field, making him a real master in this field. For example, there is a position in IBM called "IBM Master". IBM has a total of dozens of "master", which is also a growth route for technical personnel. If you find that you are not suitable for the management team, you only focus on scientific directions, IBM can also support you to choose this growth direction.

Huang Yingxia: For these people transformation, first, he must have to manage the will of management. Second, Baidu will also pass the training of a series of management courses to help guide them to manage this road. After all, no one is born to manage, and management needs the talent, and it also needs to be cultivated.
