Recently, the students in the help group reviewed the promotion materials and found that they all had the following common problems.

  • Lack of focus and data support, inconsistent goals and results
  • The lack of structuralization of materials is not only reflected in the structuralization of content, but also in the structuralization of thinking
  • The material presented does not match the point required in the Competency Model-Judge’s Edition, giving the impression that the content lacks the level required for the rank

For these problems, the reasons are analyzed

  • Lack of documentation ability, usually lack of practice output
  • Lack of understanding of the competency model of the corresponding rank, or the content expressed is not in line with the competency model of the corresponding rank
  • The deeper reason lies in the lack of thinking, precipitation and preparation at ordinary times. On the spot from scratch to think about sorting materials, so more passive

In fact, the reasons are easier to solve than the ones on the surface. The underlying reason behind the iceberg, which is that cognition has not been improved, is the most deadly.

One way to think about cognitive improvement is this. Most of the students who have just graduated for one or two years are basically writing codes in the development line, dealing with more specific tasks arranged by the group leader and solving problems in a certain point. You don’t need to worry about anything, just do the specific tasks that are assigned to you.

If you want to go further, on the basis of solving a good problem, you need to think about how to undertake a small piece of business, do a small piece of things, slowly need some thinking.

If you want to go further, you need to think about how to hold the task of a line, what abilities you should have, what direction you need to push, how to clarify the whole link, how to grasp the key points, how to make the landing plan, how to control the process, how to accept the results and so on.

Taking this one step further, you need to think about how to strategize and lead the team in different directions to get results.

Learning is the same, we all learn a point of knowledge at first, and then according to the need, master some small pieces of knowledge. By this point, many people feel they have solved most of their problems at work. However, students at this stage will have a scattered knowledge point that they can not string together well. At this point, it is necessary to realize that a certain kind of knowledge learning needs to be systematic and structured. The learning of a specific knowledge point needs depth and closed loop.

In addition, to do anything, it is necessary to anticipate and prepare in advance. There is a saying: “If you have to ask how long can you survive jumping off a cliff? Time is essentially the time of free fall from the top of a cliff. If you can prepare ahead of time and have at least one parachute, you can land smoothly.”

When cognition improves, it’s natural to believe that you can move on to the next level.

If the mind stays in the brick stage, it is no different from the machine on the assembly line.
