Thread Content

Excerpted from: Project Manager Salon 1. The embarrassment of stage missions. At the age of 40, you may no longer want to change jobs easily. You just want to choose a company and a position carefully and make a difference in a down-to-earth manner. However, the result of things is often the opposite. The less you want to jump, the more you are forced to jump at this time, and jump very quickly - the boss politely asks you to leave at this time, so you have to leave. Why? Because there are stages in enterprise development ； Due to experience, every professional manager cannot be omnipotent, so there are stages for companies to use professional managers. Once used up, the company can only fire you and recruit new professional managers who are more suitable for the new stage of the company. 　　 2. The embarrassment of recruitment. Because you are mature, stable, capable, well-connected, healthy, and mentally stable. You want to accomplish something and are suitable for taking on big responsibilities. Your boss also wants to hire you, but who will interview you becomes a big problem. The boss interviews first? Then the people behind can only follow and speculate on the boss's conclusion. The last interview with the boss? Maybe you have been kicked out a long time ago and will never see Boss Bole at all. Because when you are 40 years old, you are the most threatening age to others. Even though you may be very humble and approachable, this may be more scary to others. 　　 3. Mature embarrassment. Maturity is both your advantage and your disadvantage. What does maturity mean? Just like a watermelon that is ripe, although it is sweet, it cannot grow any longer. Therefore, it is the time for 40-year-old people in the workplace to export experience and wisdom, and it is almost finalized how much they can do. If you have grown up with the company, and if you cannot continue to grow with it, you are in danger of falling behind. No wonder your boss is cruel. 　　 4. The embarrassment of experience. The same goes for experience. The more experience you have, the easier it is to apply experience. In reality, empiricism kills people, and reality often transcends experience. Therefore, people with experience but no wisdom often do wrong things. 　　 5. The embarrassment of experience. Having diverse experiences is an advantage for one's career, but it may not be an advantage in the eyes of the company and others. Things will deviate if you change the angle. The reason why it is difficult to achieve consistency is that the angles of looking at the problem are different. 　　 6. Embarrassment of resources. Your extensive resources are an advantage, but for this advantage to transform the enterprise's productivity, it requires a process, costs, many additional conditions, and a supporting environment. Otherwise, the advantages of these resources are often not brought into play. And once the enterprise transforms, your resources may not be an advantage to the enterprise. 　　 7. Embarrassment of ability. Although you have great abilities, there are conditions for the development of this ability. Modern enterprises have bid farewell to relying on individual strength to win market competition, but rely on the power of systems and teams. If you are good at operating large systems and large teams, how do you lead the battle when facing a guerrilla army that is not yet systematic? 　　 8. The embarrassment of perfect knowledge structure. Your knowledge structure tends to be perfect, which is an advantage. But in other words, your study * Capacity is also declining. Because your knowledge structure tends to be perfect, you often know what cannot be done, but when faced with new things, you cannot judge whether it can be done because it exceeds your knowledge structure. 　　 9. Healthy embarrassment. Because you are healthy both physically and mentally, you can remain calm and remain cool despite changes. * , but at the same time you will also lose your ability to adapt to the environment. At the same time, you are in good health, but if you are asked to compete with a young man in his 20s for strength work, you will definitely lose. So when you are 40 years old, even though you are in good health, you cannot support you in charging into battle on many occasions.
