Two days ago, I posted an article about whether fresh graduates can directly be project managers, and there is a comment below that reads: PM can do it with a dog.
Dude, you stabbed my heart hard!
But I ask you, can a dog take the blame?
Can dogs drink with people?
Can a dog go 3 days without sleep without regrets?
The main reason is that the dog will bite when it is anxious, and it is a big deal to be a stray dog, and I don't have the courage to get angry because I don't have the courage to be a homeless person. The company can't do without me, because I'm better at it.
Having said that, it is not difficult for a project manager to enter the industry, it can be said that everyone can be a project manager if there is an opportunity, the difficulty is how to do it well, whether it has top-level thinking, can find real needs, work according to the budget, predict the project progress and decide on the available resources, and deliver the project smoothly.
These ways of thinking for expert project managers can help them quickly clear their minds and save time.

The Golden Circle Rule
When thinking about a problem, you can use the Golden Circle Rule, from the inside out, layer by layer, to find a solution to the problem.
Innermost layer: Why:
Why do you want to do this, and what do you want to achieve?
Middle Layer: How:
How do you accomplish the goal?
Outermost: What:
How will it be implemented, and by whom, and how much money will be needed?

decision-making
The rule of 10/10/10
The 10/10/10 rule comes from Warren Buffett, which can help us make informed choices with a long-term perspective, and ask ourselves these three questions when we need to consider the long-term impact of our decisions.
What will I think of this decision in 10 minutes?
What will I think of this decision in 10 months?
How will I feel about this decision in 10 years?

The five elements of the story
Three essential elements: conflict + action + ending
Two additional conditions: emotion + presentation
Conflict: This is the core of the story, and conflict can be internal (such as the character's struggle with himself), external (such as the character's conflict with other people or circumstances), or a combination of the two.
Action: Action is a direct manifestation of conflict, how to overcome obstacles, solve problems, and drive development.
Ending: An ending is a resolution of a conflict that usually contains a summary of the main ideas and central ideas.
Emotion: Build empathy with readers or viewers.
Presentation: Presentation refers to the way in which the story is told, including the choice of scenes, the rhythm of the narrative, and the use of language, which can enhance the appeal and appeal.
Of course, you can also report according to this logic, and accurately express the difficulties and current emotions you encounter when doing something, so as to establish a connection with the audience.

Presentations
SCQA model
The SCQA model is suitable for scenarios such as writing, interpersonal communication, reporting, and on-the-spot speaking.
The "S" stands for "Situation", which is usually a fact or circumstance that everyone knows
[C] stands for "Complication", and reality often conflicts with our requirements
[Q] refers to "Question", what should we do if the conflict creates a problem?
[A] refers to "Answer", if there is a question, there will be an answer, what is the solution?
For example: [S] has nail fungus, [C] is infectious, [Q] wants to ask what to do, [A] immediately uses bright nails

Team management
TOPIC MODEL
The TOPIC model is the five elements of team management, namely, building trust (managers lead by example and the team to form a win-win mindset, mutual trust, and information transparency), goal-oriented (setting clear goals, so that team members have a clear understanding of the goals), management process (can follow the circular principle of PDCA, each work needs to go through the four stages of planning, executing the plan, checking the plan, adjusting the plan and continuously improving), Shared commitment (each member has their own tasks and responsibilities, and works towards a common goal), efficient communication (speaking directly, speaking well, and not subjective).
The topic model is suitable for finding out which element has a problem in time and solving it in team management.

Innovative thinking
SCAMPER Innovative Thinking
SCAMPER Innovative Thinking was created by American psychologist Robert Eber. It contains 7 points of substitution, merger, transformation, adjustment, repurposing, removal, and rhetorical questioning to help people find new ideas for solving problems, provide more structured guidance in brainstorming, and help people design innovative solutions to problems.
Substitute(替代)
In the face of problems that need to be solved or improved items, we must first analyze the specific elements of the thing and think about which elements can be replaced, such as ingredients, materials, personnel, etc., even simple replacement can achieve good innovation results.
Combine
Trying to combine the original item with other items, materials, or features can give the original item a new look, function, etc.
Adapt
Consider whether there are problems in the operation or use of the original things, what are the reasons for the problems, and then transform and optimize them in a targeted manner after clarifying the reasons.
Modify
By adjusting the size and shape, the original thing is reinvented.
Put to other uses（改变用途）
Develop new uses of old things and apply old things elsewhere.
Eliminated(去除)
Subtraction is the method of breaking down the elements of the original thing, eliminating unnecessary functions or removing certain parts and materials to make it easier and more refined.
Rearrange（重新排列）
Reorganize and arrange elements to create new structures and forms.
