Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 300 Cognitive Bias
The next morning, when Luo Xiu got up, he found that his muscles were sore all over his body, and his legs could not squat down.

I just ran a few kilometers and that's it. The body of this 20-year-old is not as good as the body of the 30-year-old before rebirth.

I used to run 5000 meters with ease, but it seems that I have really lacked exercise recently.

Many people are too lazy to exercise because they play games in the dormitory every day when they are in college. Instead, they develop the worst body at the best age.

It's not because Luo Xiu lies in the dormitory and plays games every day, but because he is busy with work and neglects his body.

Thinking of this, he still endured the soreness caused by the accumulation of lactic acid, and ran on the school's plastic track.

Maybe this is the advantage of being a boss, you can control your time freely, and you don't have to clock in to work on time.

The recovery speed of a young body is still fast. After a few days, Luo Xiu could no longer feel the pain in his body.

I have been able to run 5000 meters with ease, and I don't need to endure it like I did at the beginning.

However, he ran more to have a good body and maintain energy, and did not continue to pursue longer distances.

Just keep running five kilometers a day, go home, take a shower and go to work.

Occasionally, a girl would offer him a bottle of water after waiting for him to finish his run.

Later, Luo Xiu felt that this was not good, so he brought a kettle with him.

Every time after running profusely in sweat, he holds the water bottle and pours his head up. In the morning, the golden sun shines on his 45-degree upturned face, a bit like the hero in an idol drama.

……

Morning jogging is just an episode of life, and work is Luo Xiu's focus.

Ye Xiaomeng came to the door of his office and knocked on the door lightly twice.

"Come in." Luo Xiu raised his head and pointed to the chair in front of the desk, "Sit down."

"Boss, I have talked to my colleagues who have been working a lot of overtime recently, and I also asked people in the same department to investigate. They basically stay and work overtime because they haven't finished their work, not to show you. .”

Luo Xiu asked: "Why can't I finish things within working hours? Is it because there are too many useless meetings? Or is the superior assigning many meaningless tasks?"

The biggest waste is the waste of time.

If the leadership of a company often organizes meaningless meetings, meetings that do not solve practical problems, or assigns a large number of tasks to subordinates that do not help performance, these leaders are wasting a lot of company resources every minute .

As the teacher often said, if you waste 1 minute by yourself, you will waste 10 or [-] minutes for the whole class.

Leadership wasting employees' time is equivalent to wasting the company's huge employment costs.

"Our company implements a flat management model and organizational structure. The phenomenon you mentioned, boss, is relatively rare in our company."

Luo Xiu listened to her words, thought for a while, and nodded.

Pinru is a very new Internet company, and the majority of its employees are young people, who have not yet developed the bad habit of old-fashioned fritters.

They should not be able to use overtime to win the sympathy of the boss and try to avoid scolding because the work is not completed.The company's current work rhythm does not allow for a large number of meaningless meetings and useless work tasks.

In a few years, when the company starts to age, it will be hard to say.

"Then what do you think is the reason?" Luo Xiu asked.

"The main issue is personal work efficiency. With the same workload, some people finish it quickly, and some people do it seriously, but they have to work overtime to finish it."

"That's it! I see, you go out first!"

Luo Xiu took a deep breath, leaned his body on the back of the office chair, looked up at the ceiling in a daze.

This is a question that is difficult for him to understand, whether it is before or after rebirth.

Even before his rebirth, when his conditions were similar to those of other colleagues, he often only needed two or three hours to complete the work of others in a day.

He looked at the colleagues around him who were so busy that they couldn't even take a sip of water, and felt incredible. He didn't understand why it took them so long for such a simple thing.

Is this the IQ gap?

With similar college entrance examination scores and graduation from the same school, there should be no obvious difference in IQ, but there are many people who are helpless when faced with simple work problems.

Obviously, it can be solved by just changing the way of thinking, why don't they understand?
It's obviously common sense, don't they even have this bit of common sense?
Before Luo Xiu's rebirth, his career starting point was very low, but in the following years, his annual salary almost doubled every year.

He's well aware that he's not the smartest of them all.

In many cases, his reaction is even slower than others, and his memory is not good.

He wasn't the most diligent either, he could even be called lazy.

So he has always wondered why his performance at work is so much better than others.

Although he didn't understand it before, he didn't try to find the answer. The poor performance of his colleagues just set off his own goodness.

Now that he is a boss, his mentality has changed. He hopes that all employees will become better.

If you can discover a group of employees who are even better than the boss, then you can retreat to the second line with peace of mind and enjoy the blessings with equity.

In the past, Luo Xiu was used to other people's low abilities. Anyway, most people are like this, so there is no need to have too high demands on them.

Now as the boss, in order to make his company more competitive, he has to have higher requirements for his employees and not allow them to be mediocre.

So Luo Xiu took these questions and went to the next door to ask the professor of sociology at the Chinese University.

The professor listened to his question, bowed his head and thought for a while, then asked him:
"If you are in a casino and see a table that has placed ten orders in a row, will you pay for the order or double for the next hand?"

Without thinking too much, Luo Xiu replied directly: "I won't buy it, because I don't know what will be offered next."

"Your answer surprised me, because most people will subconsciously think that the next hand is more likely to draw doubles when they see ten times of singles in a row, but in fact, what the next hand will be drawn is different from the previous ten times. Any association, the probability of odd or even is 50.00%."

"Isn't this the simplest probability science?"

"This is a cognitive bias, and it may be the biggest difference between you and ordinary employees."

The professor continued: "Most people are not smart enough, nor do they have enough knowledge, but there is a bias in cognition, which leads their thinking to go further and further in the wrong direction."

"How did this cognitive bias come about?"

"Everyone has cognitive biases. In the process of human evolution, in order to quickly avoid danger and meet the needs of survival, the human brain has formed a certain conditioned reflex, using the simplest path to make a quick judgment for one's own choice. .

This kind of quickly formed judgment is not necessarily correct, and some people can avoid wrong judgments, such as the choice you made just now, student Luo Xiu. "

"Teacher, can you give another simple example to explain?" Luo Xiu asked sincerely.

"Student Luo Xiu, you are a businessman now. Let me give you an example of product sales! For example, there are two rice cookers on Taobao, one is 99 yuan, and the other is 199 yuan. Which one has better quality?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on their function, capacity, and brand... High sales price does not mean high production cost. Some brands put more costs into marketing. High production cost does not mean good quality. Look at the technology accumulation of their company..."

"Enough." The professor interrupted Luo Xiu, "You have said so much, but you still don't know which quality is better, right? For most people, they can tell me in a second based on their past experience. , The 199 yuan rice cooker is of better quality.

Is this judgment necessarily correct?Of course not, but from the current life, there is a high probability that the quality of 199 yuan is better than 99 yuan. This kind of quick decision-making of the brain allows them to make judgments without complicated reasoning, which saves them time. "

"Is this evolution of the brain really good?"

"Most of the time it's good. For example, when our ancestors picked a mushroom they didn't know and didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, they would subconsciously think it was poisonous and throw it away. The scientific way of thinking , Whether this mushroom is poisonous or not can only be known by eating it.

From an evolutionary point of view, throwing away the mushrooms is the best choice. The judgment of the brain allows him to avoid danger and survive better.

But there will always be some strange people in human history, who have to try whether the mushroom is poisonous or not. Most of these people die young, but because of their existence, the human diet has become more and more abundant. "

Luo Xiu joked, "I heard what the professor said, if I were an ape-man, I would be poisoned to death by mushrooms before I could live long."

"But it is precisely because there were such curious people in history that we can eat so many delicious mushrooms today!"

After hearing what he said, Luo Xiu really wanted to ask: What did the first person in history to drink milk do to cows?
But thinking that the other party is an old professor after all, he didn't make such a joke with him, but asked seriously: "There is no such life-threatening risk in society now, so is there any way to change the cognitive bias of our employees? "

The professor smiled meaningfully: "This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Student Luo Xiu is about to end his junior year, and he will be in his fourth year soon. Have you considered studying for a graduate student? I just happen to be recruiting students."

Luo Xiu pretended not to understand, "I'm so busy with work now, I don't have much time to study, so I'm sure I won't be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"What else is there to take? We have a recommendation quota. If student Luo Xiu is interested in our research project, we can give you this quota."

"Teacher, what is your research project?"

"Student Luo Xiu, what project do you want to research, that's what our research project is."
