经常改变自己的想法不丢脸:Jeff Bezos聊如何跳出思维的囚笼
Some advice from Jeff Bezos
昨天,Jeff Bezos 到访我们办公室,用 90 分钟时间和我们聊了聊产品策略,接着又花了 45 分钟回答我们的问题。他的一个观点让我们颇受启发。
他聊到了那些经常有正确决策的人的一大特质:他们会经常改变自己的想法。在他看来,思维的一致性(consistency of thought)并不能称的上为优点,反而,经常改善自己的想法是健康的、受鼓励的做法——哪怕这意味着,你明天就会推翻今天的想法。
Jeff 发现,聪明的人会不断地改进自己的认知,会反复思考他们认为已经解决的问题,他们对不同于自己原有思维方式的新观点、新信息、新点子、矛盾和挑战都持开放态度。
当然,这并不是说你不该有一个完整的观点,而是要求你应该将它看做临时的产物。
什么样的思维方式在大多数情况下是错误的呢?当你纠结于仅仅一种观点时,当你无法从不同的角度对问题进行宏观的观察时,你的想法往往就是错的。
Jeff Bezos stopped by our office yesterday and spent about 90 minutes with us talking product strategy. Before he left, he spent about 45 minutes taking general Q&A from everyone at the office.
During one of his answers, he shared an enlightened observation about people who are “right a lot”.
He said people who were right a lot of the time were people who often changed their minds. He doesn’t think consistency of thought is a particularly positive trait. It’s perfectly healthy — encouraged, even — to have an idea tomorrow that contradicted your idea today.
He’s observed that the smartest people are constantly revising their understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they’d already solved. They’re open to new points of view, new information, new ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a well formed point of view, but it means you should consider your point of view as temporary.
What trait signified someone who was wrong a lot of the time? Someone obsessed with details that only support one point of view. If someone can’t climb out of the details, and see the bigger picture from multiple angles, they’re often wrong most of the time.
Great advice.
