Wang Huiwen sent a circle of friends to say that an important responsibility of responsible managers is to push their subordinates from the peak of ignorance to the valley of despair, and whether they can climb the slope of enlightenment depends on personal creation.

On April 19, 1995, there was a bank robbery in the United States, and a thief named Wheeler robbed two banks in broad daylight, without any mask, and the result was naturally to solve the case quickly. At the scene of the arrest, the thief asked the police: "I have invisible liquid on my face, how did you find me?" And the so-called invisible liquid is also lemon juice.

This stupid thief caught the attention of Dunning, a psychology professor at Cornell University, who and his graduate student Kruger conducted a series of experiments to test their own ideas: the range of people most lacking knowledge and skills is the least able to recognize their own defects.

The Dunning-Kruger psychological effect hides another effect: the one-fifth effect. Why the most clumsy scammers can cheat money is because of the one-fifth effect. That is, no matter how outrageous things are, there are always one-fifth of the people in the world who believe it.

Mount of Ignorance:

Wu Zhihong, a famous psychotherapist in China, once said that 90% of Chinese adults are "giant babies", and giant babies refer to people who have reached adulthood but their minds are still in the early childhood stage and are extremely immature.

When we are young, we like to talk about it and be a good teacher. After reaching middle age, it is more and more silent. Many times, this point of young people is "not knowing that they don't know".

Valley of Despair:

Only when people have cognitive collapse will they strive to establish new cognition. The process of cognitive collapse is very fast, like a skyscraper collapsing in an instant.

Slope of Enlightenment:

This is a process of slowly reconstructing cognition and reconstructing thinking, this process requires wisdom, needs to be slowly accumulated through knowledge and experience, and the master is in the process of continuous reconstruction, slowly perfecting his cognition.

Everyone will be limited to the Dunning-Kruger psychological effect, and the more you know, the wider your reach and the more you know what you don't know.

The Dunning-Kruger psychological effect is actually a path of self-growth, which is also a path of pain + reflection = progress.
