Over these ten years, I have experienced a transformation from a student to a professional, from an employee to a manager, and have felt the growth of an individual—those things that led me to success and recognition, as well as those past regrets and awkward moments that still haunt me, have given me the greatest gift—self-cultivation of temperament. The places where I have worked, whether foreign companies, start-ups, or large private enterprises, have given me invaluable opportunities to deepen my understanding of management through practice. Over these ten years, my leaders, colleagues, and many friends have given me countless helps, guidance, and teachings, even life-saving assistance, for which I remain eternally grateful. (Author's self-description). This book chronicles a ten-year career after graduating as an engineer. During these ten years, the author Xie Yun transitioned from an entry-level professional to a senior executive in a renowned enterprise, experiencing a shift from a technical role to a managerial one, and from a frontline manager to a senior-level position. This book authentically records the growth of an outstanding professional manager, serving as both a vivid and three-dimensional management textbook and a career success manual that readers wish they had discovered earlier. The typical encounters and reflections of the author's career journey, rather than the author himself, are the protagonists of this book. This includes personal professionalization, learning project management skills in the midst of chaos, successes and failures in learning to delegate authority and build teams, as well as struggles, doubts, and perseverance in professional mindset, along with profound reflections on the essence of management and management issues. His experiences are widely universal, and every manager can find a reflection of themselves within them, sparking introspection. His work methods and insights stem from practical experience, resonating deeply with readers and inspiring them greatly. His reflections are unique, even sharp and perhaps unpleasant, but his independent and serious thinking gives the book greater value. Xie Yun wrote this book not for publication; many of its contents had already spread among the people in various ways before it was published. His expressions are simple yet thought-provoking, and astonishingly honest. Many readers who followed the online serialization, especially mid-level managers in enterprises and IT professionals, were deeply moved, and their emotions were reflected back in various ways. Perhaps only with the courage to face oneself can one maintain the motivation for continuous excellence. From the authentic growth of a manager, we gain perhaps far more than from rigid textbooks.
