Myo Min Yan Aung - Think like a manager, don't act like a manager

It is much more difficult to "succeed immediately" in the 21st century than it was in the past. You have to "reinvent the old ways" and "take what is already there and make it grow."

Creating something completely "new" and doing something completely "new" is very difficult to achieve.

Here, compared to other companies, there are big snack food companies that are constantly innovating to make their products even better and more attractive. We should emulate this. We can see that their products are becoming more popular by innovating.

Look at the advertisements of big companies about the yellow custard that is eaten with a piece of cake.

Custard is custard. But this custard is produced with natural manure without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Or, “This is custard with a little chocolate,” or “This is custard without sugar for diabetics and those who are afraid of diabetes,” etc., these foods are advertised as “sweet”.

The user

Become your guide.

 

There are sayings. “The customer is always right,” and “The customer is king.” Now, “knock out” those sayings. The latest saying that has emerged is “The customer is your guide.”

Consider the most modern software you've ever installed. The features and programs in new software are not invented by computer designers, but are developed and modified based on user feedback. It's because of user input that new software is capable of doing more than the original developers could have imagined.

Sometimes, you need the input and imagination of your product's users to uncover the true potential of your product.

An unexpected discovery

In the literary world, this is called “bearded bee addiction.” It is an unintentional, unexpected discovery.

Imagine you're wandering aimlessly through an open-air market selling old and used goods. You might stumble upon something you really want while you're browsing.

In the world of science and technology, such accidental discoveries are commonplace. Alexander Fleming, the inventor of penicillin, discovered a very valuable medicine in this way.

One day, Fleming was cleaning his operating room. Scientists and labs are often so organized that things are always in order. There he came across a laboratory mold. Where he found it was on a test tube that was growing Staphylococcus bacteria. So he looked closely at the mold and found a spot where there were no bacteria. That's where Fleming discovered penicillin. Sometimes, he didn't look for anything, but he found something valuable.

If you refer to it, you will be poisoned

Of deception

Don't get caught.

Those who cannot escape the grip of even the smallest temptations in life will never achieve great success.

Those who cannot escape the grip of great temptations will ultimately lose everything.

Set a goal.

 

US President John F. Kennedy, who was about to die after being assassinated, gave a very famous speech to Congress before his death.

In that speech, he said, “I believe that before the end of this decade, our nation will be determined to achieve its goal. (That goal is) to land on the moon.” But his speech didn’t end there. He went on to say more. And that continued…

"We must be able to safely return the man we sent to the moon to Earth."

All climbers recognize and embrace this philosophy. Their goal is not to reach the top of the mountain. The real challenge is to get back down from the top without any injuries.

As a good manager, you should behave like a mountain climber. Just as you strive to reach the top of a mountain, you should also focus on making sure that you return to the top without any problems or injuries. You should be very careful.
