Recently, at the 23rd annual meeting of the China Entrepreneur Forum in Abuli, Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said that being an early professional manager must not be as hard as many entrepreneurs. After all, it is fortunate to have a relatively complete platform from the very beginning.
If a professional manager does not have entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial mentality, he cannot become a final professional manager, or at least not a long-term successful professional manager.
& ldquo; has been given to two professional managers in the United States. I have a lot of experience in this process. I feel that they are relatively short-term, think very little about the long-term things of the enterprise, and have to hand in their homework every quarter, which of course has something to do with some rules of listed companies. Yang Yuanqing, rdquo;, said that they dare not start to invest money for a long time.
& ldquo. For example, we did PC, and today we are quite successful. As we all know, I want to scale and lead the world, because this is a large-scale industry, but when we bought it from IBM, we only had commercial business, IBM did not do consumer goods business, we had to do consumer goods business if we wanted to build scale, and consumer goods business had to be invested for a long time. Absolutely will not be able to achieve results in one quarter, two quarters or even one or two years, in the same direction, but I have not made up my mind to do it. Therefore, when the economic crisis occurred in 2008 and 2009, the performance of enterprises immediately declined significantly & rdquo;.
Yang Yuanqing said that this experience has given him a great inspiration. When he does CEO in 2009, the first thing he does is to do consumer business no matter how much money he invests and no matter how many years he invests. Since then, Lenovo has become the first in the world, successfully completed the merger and acquisition.
