Who knows the qualities that a successful entrepreneur must possess?

I will talk about the qualities that entrepreneurs should have from the perspective of a technical expert. I am not qualified to talk about this issue, because I have always said that I am just a scientist, and I cannot be an entrepreneur without the qualities of an entrepreneur, so I am talking about the qualities of an entrepreneur. . I just want to talk about my views on the quality of entrepreneurs from the perspective of a scientific and technological expert. This is a question that I have repeatedly thought and studied for many years. I feel good.

Entrepreneurs should have the following seven qualities.

First, be honest, don't abuse power for personal gain, don't pull gangs, and be honest. On this point, the views of domestic and foreign enterprises are the same. Li Kaifu, vice president of Microsoft, stressed in his speech that the first thing to consider when choosing talents is "Germany? . Carly, the female president of HP, said that the most important quality of a leader is honesty, which is the view of foreign companies. I always keep in mind the three principles of our old revolutionary Comrade Song Renqiong in selecting cadres: "Have both ability and political integrity and entrust them with heavy responsibilities; It is difficult to bear the burden of virtue without talent; Only those who have no virtue can help their rape. ? People with talent and no virtue are the most dangerous. I still remember Comrade Song Renqiong's three words on selecting talents. Founder's more than ten years' experience has made me deeply realize that being decent is extremely important among the qualities of entrepreneurs.

The second quality is foresight and keen insight into the current and future markets, which is an important quality of entrepreneurs. Apple started in the 1970s and became one of the top 500 companies in the world within three years, which I think is unprecedented. At that time, it relied on the earliest personal computer, which was earlier than IBM's PC, called Apple II. Its designer is a technical expert named Steve Woznik. He designed the machine.

The plan is good, but it lacks foresight. It is believed that only a few hundred computers can be sold a year. Steve Jobs, then an entrepreneur and another founder of Apple, started his business in his early twenties and was later called "a hero in people's minds" by President Reagan? His views are completely different. He thinks Apple computer will bring a huge industry, and it can sell hundreds of thousands of computers a year. As expected, personal computers have become a big industry, and Apple has entered the world's top 500 in three years. Bill Gates foresees that there will be a personal computer on everyone's desk in the future, and the operating system is a product of Microsoft. Therefore, a keen insight into the future market is an extremely important quality for entrepreneurs.

The third quality is to be familiar with finance and understand capital operation.

Fourth, we should take risks. Negroponte, the author of "Digital Survival" in the United States, the founder of MIT Media Lab and a famous prophet, was asked, "What is the most important quality of an entrepreneur?" This is the spirit of adventure, "he replied without hesitation. ? Of course, taking a risk is not an idle talk, but a deliberate decision. For example, HP and Compaq.

After the merger, both companies are worth tens of billions of dollars. Carly, the current president, foresaw the benefits of the merger, so she made drastic reforms and the results were very smooth. After the merger, HP became a new giant.

Fifth, have strong management ability and modern management experience. I am very much in favor of entrepreneurs going to MBA after several years of practice. It's not very interesting to go to MBA right after graduation. Learning with practical experience will be greatly improved.

Sixth, have strong communication skills. Chambers, president of Cisco, once said that the most fundamental thing for entrepreneurs to lead a good enterprise is to be popular, so strong communication skills are an important quality of entrepreneurs.

Seventh, entrepreneurs of technology-based companies should attach importance to technology, because a good technology will often bring new markets. After the successful development of laser phototypesetting, it is said that it is the cheapest movable type in China and it is difficult to popularize. As a result, due to the great benefits brought by this new technology, it was immediately popularized and applied. So is the color publishing system. Before 1992, there were few color newspapers in China. We use new technology to shorten the publishing process of color newspapers from the past two hours to two minutes. big

At home, there are color newspapers everywhere now. So good technology can create a new market. Entrepreneurs don't have to know much about technology. As I said just now, Guo Shina is not a computer expert, but he attaches great importance to technology. He spends two months every year hanging out with the technical elites of IBM and listening to their opinions. The founder and president of Sun Company is a management expert. One of his employees invented the now famous JAVA language, but at first the employee resigned from Miller because his idea could not be developed. Miller fully listened to the employees' suggestions and created the best conditions for him. As a result, JAVA became the world standard, and SUN Company miraculously revived. There is also a good story of Sony, in which Morita, the president of Sony, was able to support Masaru Ibuka, a technical expert, to make a color picture tube for seven years under the economic downturn. At that time, everyone could not see the future and did not know whether it would succeed. Morita made up his mind to support it, which made the development of color kinescope successful and Sony developed greatly. Then, why say that entrepreneurs are the core of enterprises, because good entrepreneurs can attract a large number of outstanding scientific and technological personnel. Microsoft, for example, has gathered a large number of outstanding talents, some of whom have won the highest awards in the computer field.

There is no doubt that enterprises should naturally take profit as the primary goal, but as many excellent entrepreneurs have said, we should not take profit as the only goal, but also consider the interests of society and combine the interests of enterprises with the interests of the state and society. I very much hope that enterprises in China can bring their own products with independent technology to the markets of developed countries, and I also very much hope that there will be a group of big entrepreneurs from multinational companies in China. The realization of these two goals means that China's economy has truly gone global and advanced.

I believe there will be more and more outstanding entrepreneurs in China enterprises.
