Let's just call plans what they are: guesses - (37signals)

  • There’s nothing wrong with guessing, dreaming, or predicting, but it’s not planning. Planning’s too definite a term for most things. We often use planning when we really mean guessing. And what we call it has a lot to do with how we think about it, do about it, and devote to it. I think companies often over think, over do, and over devote to planning.
  • Planning just leads to a work-in-progress plan whose success hinges on planning being a frequent activity and constantly changing. Planning is absolutely integral to success, whether you call it guessing or whatever (although the word dreaming seems a bit misleading).

俞军离职前演讲：谈管理之道_百度爱好者

  • 如何选人？选什么样的人？很多经理都会面临这样的问题。选对一个人，会大大提升团队的“战斗力”，而选错一个人，会给团队带来可能很严重的“伤害”。俞军说，在搜索引擎领域，我们在选人时，不会特别看重这个人的相关经验，所有人都是在一个起跑线上。至于今后的个人发展也和是否有相关工作经验无关，而是这个人是否投入到了这个领域，在认真的学习这个领域，是否具有潜力。俞军告诉我们，用有经验的人可能一时轻松，但如果他不能再跟着产品成长，将来你会更累；用有潜力的人，现在你可能要多付出一点来带他，可是将来他会加速成长，比你对产品的理解更深。


  • 产品部门在选人这一点上，可以用四个字概括——以文取人。我们不看重简历上的背景，性别，血型，而是根据他写的产品分析看这个人对于产品和用户的感觉，这些感觉是从文字上可以感觉到的。而判断力是源于自己对于产品和用户的感觉积累，当你读过一千个或者更多的产品分析后，再读到一篇产品分析的时候就会一下子给这个分析打一个准确的分数。另外从产品分析里的方法运用上可以看出这个人发现问题和分析问题的逻辑能力。

Building Blocks for Teams - How can I communicate?

  • Active Listening - Communication is a two-way street, so it is important
    that you listen carefully to your team mates when they are speaking. Don't tune
    speakers out or get caught in the trap of planning ahead to what you want to say
    next. You may miss an important detail, and in the worst case, you repeat
    the detail you missed because you were not listening.
