299. Cognitive Bias
The next morning, when Luo Xiu woke up, he found that his muscles were sore all over his body and he couldn't squat down his legs.
I just ran a few kilometers and it was like this. This twenty-year-old body is not as good as that of the body in my thirties before I was reborn.
I used to run 5,000 meters but it was easy to complete, but it seems that I really lacked exercise recently.
Many people are too lazy to exercise in their dormitory every day because they play games in the dormitory, but instead develop the worst body at the best age.
Luo Xiu was not because he lies in the dormitory to play games every day, but because he was busy with work and ignored his body.
Thinking of this, he endured the soreness caused by the accumulation of lactic acid and went to the school's plastic track to run.
Maybe this is the advantage of being a boss, you can control your time freely without having to check in to work on time.
The young body recovered quickly. After a few days, Luo Xiu could no longer feel the soreness in his body.
I can easily run five thousand meters without having to endure it with gritted teeth like I did at the beginning.
However, he ran more to have a good body and keep his energy strong, and did not continue to pursue a longer distance.
Just keep running five kilometers a day, go home and take a shower and go to the company.
Occasionally, girls will take the initiative to send a bottle of water after he finishes running.
Later, Luo Xiu thought this was not good, so he brought a kettle.
Every time I finished my run with sweat, I held the kettle and tilted my head up. In the morning, the golden sun was scattered on his face that was tilted forty-five degrees, which looked a bit like the male protagonist in the idol drama.

...
Morning running is just a small episode of life, and work is Luo Xiu’s focus.
Ye Xiaomeng came to the door of his office and knocked on the door twice.
"Come in." Luo Xiu raised his head and pointed to the chair in front of his desk, "Sit down."
"Boss, I have talked to them one by one with my colleagues who have worked overtime recently, and I also asked people from the same department to investigate. They basically stayed to work overtime because they had not finished their work, not to show you how to perform.
.”
Luo Xiu asked: "Why can't I finish the work during working hours? Is there too many useless meetings? Or is it that the superiors assigned many meaningless tasks?"
The biggest waste is the waste of time.
If a company's leadership often organizes meaningless meetings, holds meetings that do not solve practical problems, or assigns a large number of tasks that are not helpful to performance, these leadership is wasting a lot of the company's resources every minute
.
To the point that the teacher often says, if you waste a minute by yourself, you will waste fifty minutes of the whole class.
Leaders waste employees' time, which is equivalent to wasting the company's huge employment costs.
"Our company promotes a flat management model and organizational structure. The phenomenon you mentioned by boss rarely occurs in our company."
After hearing her words, Luo Xiu thought about it for a while, and nodded.
Pinru is a very new Internet company. The main employees are basically young people and have not yet developed the bad habit of being old-fashioned.
They shouldn't have used overtime to win sympathy from their bosses because they didn't finish their work, and tried to avoid scolding. The current work rhythm of the company will not have a large number of meaningless meetings and useless work tasks.
When the company begins to age in a few years, it will be hard to say.
"What do you think is the reason?" Luo Xiu asked.
"The main problem is the personal work efficiency. Some people complete the same workload quickly, and some people do it very seriously, but they only need to work overtime."
"That's it! I understand, you go out first!"
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, leaned his body against the backrest of the office chair, and looked up at the ceiling in a daze.
This is a question that he is difficult to understand whether before or after rebirth.
Even before his rebirth, when his conditions were similar to those of other colleagues, he often only took two or three hours to complete the workload of others a day.
He felt incredible when he saw his colleagues around him busy so much that they couldn't even drink a sip of water. He didn't understand why such a simple thing took them so long.
Is this the IQ gap?
With similar college entrance examination results and graduation from the same school, there should be no obvious gap in IQ, but many people are helpless when facing simple work problems.
It is obvious that they can solve it by changing their thinking, but why don’t they understand?
It is obviously a very common sense thing, but do they not even have this common sense?
Luo Xiu's career starting point before his rebirth was very low, but in the following years, his annual salary almost doubled every year.
He knew very well that he was not the smartest of everyone.
Many times, his reaction is even a beat slower than others, and his memory is not good.
He is not the most diligent, and he can even be called lazy.
So he has always been very confused about why he performed so much better than others at work.
Although he didn't understand before, he didn't try to find the answer. His poor performance just highlighted his goodness.
Now that he is a boss, his mentality has become different. He hopes that all employees can become better.
If you can discover a group of employees who are better than your boss, you can retreat to the second line with peace of mind and enjoy the benefits with your equity.
In the past, Luo Xiu was used to other people's low abilities. However, most people are like this, so there is no need to have too high demands on them.
Now as a boss, in order to make his company stronger competitiveness, he has to have higher requirements for his employees and does not allow them to be mediocre people.
So Luo Xiu went to the next door to Zhongda to ask for a professor of sociology with these questions.
After listening to his question, the professor lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked him:
"If you are in a casino and see a gambling table placing ten orders in a row, will you pay for the next order or buy a double?"
Without thinking too much, Luo Xiu directly replied: "I won't buy it because I don't know what will be the next one."
"Your answer surprised me, because most people will subconsciously feel that the next move will have a higher chance of getting a double, but in fact, what will be the next move, not the previous ten times.
Any correlation, the probability of odd and even is fifty percent."
“Isn’t this the easiest probability learning?”
"This is a cognitive bias, and it may be the biggest difference between you and ordinary employees."
The professor continued: "It's not that most people are not smart enough, nor that they have insufficient knowledge. It's just that there are cognitive deviations, which leads their thinking to go further and further in the wrong direction."
“How does this cognitive bias cause?”
"Everyone has cognitive bias. In the process of human evolution, in order to quickly avoid danger and to survive, the human brain has formed a certain conditioned reflex, and used the simplest path to make a quick judgment for its own choices.
.
This kind of rapid decision is not necessarily correct, and some people can avoid wrong decisions, such as Luo Xiu’s choice you just made."
"Teacher, can you give me a simple example?" Luo Xiu asked sincerely.
"Class Luo Xiu, you are a businessman now, so I'll 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 is better quality?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on their functions, capacity, and brand... High sales price does not mean high production costs. Some brands invest more costs in marketing. High production costs do not mean good quality.
Look at their company's technical accumulation..."
"Enough." The professor interrupted Luo Xiu, "You have said so much, but I still don't know which quality is better, right? For most people, they can tell me in one second by accumulating past experience by accumulating me in the past
, The rice cooker with a 199 yuan is better quality.
Is this judgment correct? Of course not, but from the current life, the quality of 199 yuan is better than that of 99 yuan. This kind of quick decision-making of the brain allows them to make judgments without making complicated reasoning.
Save time.”
"Is this evolution of the brain really good?"
"Most of the time it's good. For example, our ancestors picked a mushroom that they didn't know and didn't know whether it was toxic or not, they would subconsciously think it was toxic and throw it away. And the scientific way of thinking
, Whether this mushroom is poisonous can only be known after eating it.
From an evolutionary perspective, throwing away the mushrooms is the best choice. This judgment of the brain allows him to avoid danger in individuals and survive better.
But there are always some strange people in human history. They have to try whether this mushroom is poisonous. Most of these people die young, but because of their existence, human recipes are becoming more and more abundant."
Luo Xiu joked: "I heard from the professor that if I were an ape, I would definitely not be able to live long and be poisoned to death by mushrooms."
"But it is precisely because of the people who are so curious in history that we can eat so many delicious mushrooms today!"
After hearing his words, Luo Xiu wanted to ask: What did the first person who drank milk in history do to cows?
However, thinking that the other party was an old professor after all, he did not joke with him like this, but asked him seriously: "There is no such risk that threatens life and safety in society now. 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. Luo Xiu is about to end his junior year and is about to become a senior. Are you considering studying for a graduate student? I just happened to be enrolling students."
Luo Xiu pretended not to understand, "I am so busy with work now and don't have much time to review. I will definitely not be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, right?"
"What else can I take? We have a recommended quota. If Luo Xiu is interested in our research project, we can give you this quota."
"Teacher, what is your research project?"
