Excellent people in the workplace HE Tuber can accurately define problems, grasp the essence behind the problems through questioning, challenging, and critical thinking , and then further propose feasible solutions.

The focus in this process is on finding the problem, rather than directly giving answers to solve the problem. So the definition is to allow us to see the problem correctly.

However, most people will regard some superficial "phenomena" in the problem as the problem itself, blindly staying on the surface without discovering its laws.

 the phenomenon in the problem, defining the main contradictions and thinking, locking this "contradiction point", and thus locking the problem, can gradually approach the essence of the problem.

So how to find contradictions and how to lock in topics during meetings?

The main idea is "unity of knowledge and action" , which is found in the process of continuous exploration and practice. For example, if you meet an MVP in the early stage of making a product, it will be launched online, and then you will continue to adjust and test based on actual scenarios and user problem feedback. At this time, some problems and phenomena that you were not aware of before will emerge.

Secondly, in the analysis and judgment stage, ask teachers and seniors 

to summarize their experiences. Why is it the analysis and judgment stage?

Because the experience value of seniors lies in the inspiration they bring to you in the process of thinking about problems, such as the instructor’s perspective, ideas, methods of application, why you choose to do this, what are the reasons, whether there are new problems or new contradictions, and the process How do you learn lessons, reflect and improve after making wrong choices?

be inspired to make correct judgments, and do things correctly. Rather than simply literacy for you.

Therefore, through observation, research, and analysis in practice, if unclear things are clarified, the problem will naturally show its own structure (phenomenon and essence) .

But this process is not simple. Many times we may not realize the "essence" hidden under the phenomenon.

 but each company defines the position differently. You have interviewed several companies before (in practice), and you have even experienced failure (exposure of problems, why you failed), excessive nervousness leading to poor communication, lack of understanding of the company in the early stage, insufficient preparation, and insufficient skills in negotiating salary during interviews. , and there are also situations where one’s own abilities/industry are inconsistent (analyze, learn lessons and summarize).

So without understanding the company’s attributes in the early stage, how do you know what kind of people the company wants?

how can you ensure a successful interview? How do you know that the main problem of failed interviews is frequent job-hopping?

Most people have experienced many failed interviews, and only after reflection do they clearly know how to adjust.

And some senior people can tell where you failed in the interview at a glance. This does not mean that they have quick thinking, but that they benefit from experience. As both an interviewer and an interviewer, he has already summed up his experience and discovered the rules.

So if you encounter "a certain situation of interview failure", you can quickly point out the problems and main contradictions.

However, relying too much on experience will also lead to the inability to find the contradictory points of the problem, because inertial thinking will occur and there will be a lack of analysis and practice based on specific situations.

Everyone will form their own work experience (knowledge system here) after long-term work and accumulation, and the practice of this system is mainly divided into three points: knowledge map, behavioral awareness, and status structure .

As this "system" gradually expands, only when faced with problems can you unfold your own "knowledge map" and accurately locate relevant "knowledge points" to form your own judgments and choices.

But at the same time, the "knowledge system" can also cover up, interfere with or limit the real problem. Sometimes the "knowledge system" is its own limitation.

For example: after you have stayed in a company for 5 years, your way of solving problems may become routine. When you accept some new perspectives and thinking, you can see and understand them on the surface, but once you arrive, In actual application, it may not be possible.

Because you have to follow the company's rules in five years to adapt to this operating mechanism. In fact, your way of thinking about problems has been "institutionalized" and inertia has been formed in the knowledge system. The longer you stay, the stronger you become systematized.

At the same time, you can observe the attitude of the company, whether it is willing to continue to train you to break this system and innovate, or to find a young person to replace you and continue to operate this mechanism repeatedly.

It is actually very difficult for an individual to break this "system". Most people like to stay in their comfort zone, and it takes a lot of courage to break out.

Those who can proactively embrace uncertainty and see it as an opportunity for growth are truly powerful people .

Quoting a line from the movie "The Shawshank Redemption":

"These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized."

"The walls in prison are really interesting. When you first go to prison, you hate the walls around you; slowly, you get used to living in them; eventually you find yourself having to rely on them to survive. This is the system. change."
