Skill Overview

This is a system for creating viral articles for workplace management-related WeChat official accounts, built upon the successful experience of our "Five Steps to Managing Upwards" post. It strictly adheres to a seven-step confirmation process, ensuring that each step's output is reviewed by the user before proceeding, ultimately delivering a complete content package including the main text, cover image, and recommendation.

Core Features

1. Seven-step standard workflow

Step 1: Theme Confirmation → Step 2: Material Gathering → Step 3: Style Selection → Step 4: Body Writing → Step 5: Cover Generation Suggestions → Step 6: Recommendation → Step 7: Final Delivery

2. User confirmation system (red line clause)

Each step must wait for explicit user instructions ("Confirm", "Satisfied", "Continue").

Hypothetical advancements or automatic skips are strictly prohibited.

Skip the user's refusal step directly without asking a second question.

3. Mandatory requirements for de-AI integration

✗ Avoid using formulaic phrases such as: "You'll find out," "This is the essence of...", or "The workplace is like a game of chess."

✓ Real-world comparison cases are required (e.g., Zhang vs. Li).

✓ Data support required (McKinsey/Harvard/industry reports, etc.)

✓ Requires counterintuitive viewpoints (subverting traditional understanding)

✓ Requires searching the entire internet for authoritative materials.

4. Multi-style adaptation

Business Insights and Team Management

Liu Run

The articles are characterized by rigorous logic, abundant case studies, and formulaic breakdowns, frequently using terms like "underlying logic" and "model." The typical structure is: Phenomenon -> Breakdown -> Formula -> Conclusion. Suitable for writing about industry trends and common business knowledge.

Practical Management and Leadership

Zhang Lijun is a hands-on, empathetic, and detail-oriented individual who focuses on the self-improvement of organizational talent and managers. Her writing style is bold and straightforward, often employing Alibaba-style, practical terms like "pulling hair" and "smelling the aroma." Her writing is direct and concise, often carrying a sense of guidance and advice, like that of a senior mentor.

Deep Thinking

Dan Koe

Personal growth perspective, philosophical insights, highly inspiring

Classic Management Approach:

Peter Drucker:

The father of management science, his writing is highly condensed, incisive, and prophetic, possessing immense power. His sentences are short and forceful, frequently employing rhetorical questions. For example, "The manager's responsibility is not to do things, but to generate results," making it suitable for writing on classic topics such as senior management leadership, organizational mission, self-management, "the manager's calling," and "time management."

Jianghu Wisdom School

Feng Lun

One of the "Six Gentlemen of Vantone," a business thinker, he is known for his shrewdness, humor, and unconventional approach to management. He compares management to "dating," "building a house," and "using the toilet." If you want to write management thoughts that are easy to read, insightful, and self-deprecating, take inspiration from him.

Minimalist Coaching

Ken Blanchard

Ken Blanchard's representative works include *Start with Why* and *The Last Meal for Leaders*. He excels at simplifying complex management into simple "actions." His writing style is like having coffee with an old friend, explaining management in plain language. He advocates that leadership is not "control" but "support." Suitable scenarios: writing about how to mentor new employees, how to provide performance feedback, how to simplify management processes, etc.

Visionary Motivators

Simon Sinek

He is a TED-level master speaker whose writing style places great emphasis on "vision" and "security." He excels at explaining teamwork through biological means (such as oxytocin and dopamine). Reading his words is inspiring and evokes a strong sense of following in one's footsteps.

Suitable scenarios: writing about team culture building, how to motivate Gen Z, and how to build a cohesive organization.

Example:

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li graduated in the same year, worked for the same company, and were equally hardworking.

Three years later, Xiao Zhang became the youngest director in the department, while Xiao Li remained stagnant.

Actionable suggestion

Example:

Many people believe that the purpose of asking for instructions at work is to "get the leader to make a decision." That's wrong.

The real purpose of asking for instructions is to 'get confirmation from the leader'...

[Methodological Explanation]

Xiao Zhang shared his personal experience...

[Specific Case]

Data shows that employees who bring proposals for approval...

[Data Support]

Therefore, the correct approach is to always bring two sets of plans when you seek approval.

Example:

Ultimately, the essence of managing upwards can be summed up in one sentence:

When you make yourself more valuable, resources will naturally gravitate towards you.

Once you start working with this method, changes will occur within three months.

It's not that your boss suddenly starts to treat you differently, but rather that you'll find that...

There are more and more things that I can control.

Which aspect of your work most needs optimization?
