According to Wang Zhidong's statement, some technicians are born for R & D, and some technicians are born to managers, but they are just from the technology door - the most admired Bill Gates is like this. As for yourself, he firmly believes the former 10 years ago. But now, he is increasingly thinking is the latter.
Wang Zhidong was originally famous because he was a symbol of Chinese second-generation programmers. In 1992 he worked with people to create new heavens and the earth, and took the first step to management.
Although I wanted to think that "When the general manager is pushed into the water", with the dream of doing technology in the next day, he is in the reality, but he is going to manage this road, the farther away: from Xintiandi to The General Manager of Si Tong to the President of Sina Network reached the current Click on the general manager of Technology, Wang Zhidong has fully enjoyed a manager's fun. Even the software to click Technology is management software. By the first half of this year, the accumulated sales of its terminal products have exceed 100,000 sets.
What is the most probably wrongful mistake from a technician to a manager?
I have a problem like hiding. The skilled person is not to hide, and he will meet difficult to encounter technical problems. But it will be afraid of problems that encounter people.
Technicians always want to find a good environment, good boss. If these two points can't be satisfied, there is often a loss - this boss can't, I will hop, but it is an escape. This is a typical technician's mentality. If you encounter people, you don't want to spend more effort and energy, feel no value. But when the ideal state does not exist in the environment at the time, only you have to create this environment, you must create yourself, you have to face any questions, you have to face it, think of the countermeasures, this is a change in worldview.
Initially in Xintiandi, in 1993, the company had contradictory, I was more expensive, and I didn't do it. I wrote a resignation letter, put the software, handed it to them, I didn't mention any conditions, I mean, I'm going to you, I will leave, I just keep my freedom. However, it is still entangled in the new heavens and land for a long time. The experience of the new heavens and the earth tells me that things can't hide.
Is there a lot of pain in the process of transformation?
From 1993 to 1997, it was the transition period of my transformation. I was a pure technician, and I have become a manager. At the end of 1993, the four-way resolution was established, and I served as the general manager. In 1997, the restructuring and structural adjustment of the Four-way Fiber Company reported a paragraph, which was in this year, I wrote the last line of business code. Later, in Sina, I was fully managed.
This transition process I conflicted. I don't want to give up this craft - such as you are a master of a dance sword, and the result will hang the sword to do something else. Go to another field, if you can't make it, it is also very adventive. Later, I took the so-called "sweet lemon psychology" - when I have to eat, the lemon is sweet. When I have to accept the management responsibility, I have to accept and taste the happiness. A taste found is actually good. Just drinking coffee for the first time, coffee is bitter, the first time I drink beer, it is also suffering. In fact, you drink too much, you will taste the fragrance.
What methods do you take to transform to managers?
First of all, I think it is very important and effective. The so-called "teacher" refers to "the teacher", it is to worship our teacher. For example, in the process of chatting with friends, you can learn a lot. You can ask him to eat, then take the opportunity to make your most uncomfortable something, consult him. Even sometimes you can find our employees: "Come! Tell me, what is the balanced score card?" The key is that you have to put down the shelf. This is much more efficient than myself. I am more and more feeling that this method is effective. For example, when I dinner with a management expert of Renmin University, he mentioned the concept of "agile organization", which made my brain bright. After coming back, I found that this concept is justice with our products. I really like to participate in some entrepreneurial gatherings. In these occasions, you can get a lot of information, open thinking.
Second, it is necessary to constantly experience and summarize. It is necessary to slowly explore in practice and learn while For example, venture capital, I worshiped the teacher when I was in the four-way, and I didn't understand this in China. But I was in love with some concepts, I copened my opportunity, I have been successfully financing for more than two years. At that time, I also found a lot of experts, but the biggest difficulty is that these experts do not understand foreign countries, understand the country, do not understand abroad. There is also an industry that does not understand capital, understanding capital and does not understand the industry. I have to summarize all the information, and add my experience to make judgments.
Third, I think it is also worth reading to the technician who is ready to manage the transformation of management. I am more and more feeling that my management ability is to have seen some philosophical books, and some philosophical thinking is performed. There is a great impact on me, which is the same. The same means that there is a correspondence between any system. You can use your computer's head to do software, or you can manage your software.
Which field of the technician is easy to start in transformation?
The skilled person first entered the company's strategic level, which is naturally natural, and it is easy to increase.

Because the technical solution is actually under the leadership of the strategy. I am doing the second stage of the Chinese star in fact has already formed a competitive strategy to talk to Microsoft. I put this idea and practice when I do four-way persons - this is a strategy and is not technology. Later developments include how I use OEM strategy, how to cooperate with Microsoft, and how to cooperate with PC manufacturers.
I should first turn technology into a technical strategy, then become a product strategy, and finally rose to the company's strategy. Thus, slowly focusing on the cooperation between capital, the company's arrangements, etc. Instead, it is said that a technician suddenly rushed to the front line to play, so the chance of success is small.
Once the transformation is successful, is the power of the technician to play more?
Correct. Although the technicians transform management, they should always use a eye to pay attention to technology, because this is your unique advantage. In 2001, when we set up a click of technology, I would like to do collaborative software. At that time, there was no such industry classification, I didn't even know what this software called. Until 2002 I found an international article, the one of the products described in this is very similar to our products, so I officially said that our products are collaborative software in August 2002. By these two years, collaborative software began to heat up.
If I am not engaged in the technology, I will have such an eye. I know which is feasible. If there is no technical background, it is difficult to judge from both technical and industries.
In February this year, you hand together to click on the leadership team of technology, leaving a deep impression on the outside world, how do you cultivate your leadership?
Some managers can lead to what kind of people, and some managers can only lead some types of people. I belong to the latter one. Now I am increasingly hoping through the people around, through my own management team, so that the leadership team is very important. I selection partners, the first likemoth, ideals and behaviors can be recognized.
Second, I am more willing to choose someone in different backgrounds. I hope my shortcomings can be made up of people around, and they also have places that make me learn. For example, now in our management team, there is a soil, there is a sea, and there is also working in foreign companies. If you have a software, you have the hardware, and there is also an investment. Do one thing, there will be many people thinking from different angles, so it makes up for my blind spot. This is "management bandwidth."
