movie "Captain of China" became popular, with a box office of 2.5 billion in 15 days after its release, ranking 12th in the total box office of Chinese movies.
But what we are talking about today is not a movie, but a kind of thinking that everyone should master from this movie: list thinking.
Regarding list thinking, Luo Ji thinking, Fan Deng reading club, and Cheetah founder Fu Sheng all recommended the same book "List Revolution", which undoubtedly reflects the importance of list thinking.
So what is the relationship between "Chinese Captain" and inventory thinking? The
movie "Chinese Captain" tells the story of a life-and-death forced landing led by the crew members when the windshield of an aircraft fell during a flight. The
movie is adapted from the Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 incident on May 14, 2018. During the flight from Chongqing to Lhasa, the windshield in front of the co-pilot suddenly fell, causing loss of pressure and oxygen, and half of the co-pilot’s body directly flew out of the cabin. The real situation of
is more thrilling than we thought. There were a lot of equipment failures in the cockpit of
, and the temperature reached minus 40°. In such a dangerous situation, Captain Liu Chuanjian relied on his professional skills and willpower to safely make an alternate landing at Chengdu Airport to ensure the safety of all passengers. After the incident, Captain Liu accepted an interview with the media. The host asked him about the source of his emergency response at the time. Captain Liu repeatedly said: The book
told me... the next step...
Actually, the "book" that Captain Liu said is the airline's "flight list."
When the danger came, the second captain quickly took out the flight list, and according to the prompts on the list, cooperated with Captain Liu to descend safely to an altitude of 22,000 feet.
The flight attendant in the cabin also accurately responded to emergencies according to the flight checklist and gave passengers the most professional instructions. The captain and crew of
, with the help of a set of flight checklists, completed self-rescue.

list thinking
is a must-have efficiency tool for every industry. The essence of
list is to summarize experience and then determine the principles and standards.
list thinking is to list the principles and key points of doing one thing well, and to implement it according to the summed up experience, you can guarantee success with the greatest probability.
The captain and flight attendant in "Chinese Captain" are using checklist thinking to ensure efficient and accurate work.
Looking at the world, all airline staff must perform every task in accordance with the checklist thinking, which is why airplanes are known as the safest means of transportation in the world.
is more than just the aviation industry. For every job, if you want to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the work, you must also have checklist thinking.
Let’s look at such a set of historical data:
in the hospital: has a checklist for nurses to observe and record the patient’s pain at least once every 4 hours, and to provide the patient with painkillers in time, so that the patient cannot suffer because of long-term pain. The incidence of prompt treatment dropped from 41% to 3%.
on the construction site: will develop different checklists for different buildings to guide construction and use checklists to assist team communication. The checklist makes the avoidable accident rate of the American construction industry less than 0.002% every year.
In the enterprise: investors use a checklist system to evaluate their investments. Even if their experience tells them that a project is excellent, they will still strictly implement the inspection procedures. The list allows investors to achieve a median return on investment of 80%, which is 45% higher than the average. The
list ensures the normal operation of each industry. Today, with complex information and huge communication costs, it can greatly reduce the occurrence of errors and improve efficiency for each industry and enterprise.
02
Have a list of thinking
Avoid making incompetent mistakes
"List Revolution" mentioned that the mistakes we often make can be divided into two categories:
The first category is "ignorant mistakes": we make mistakes because we do not have relevant knowledge
Traveling abroad did not understand local customs and made the wrong gestureThis has led to misunderstandings; when you first joined the company, you didn’t know the names of the bosses and handed in the wrong documents. Those who don’t know are not guilty. All of these can be forgiven. You can avoid them by constantly learning and acquiring knowledge. The second category of
is "incompetent mistakes." We make mistakes not because we don’t have knowledge, but we don’t use it correctly.
I saw a very ridiculous mistake before. A British Airways pilot flew the plane to the wrong airport and told the passenger that the destination has arrived, causing the passenger to look confused: Where am I? Where am i going?
Have you ever experienced the feeling that I am a skilled worker but made a low-level mistake?
When I first became the editor of the official account, I once posted an article. I mistakenly sent an article that should not be marked as original and sent it as original, which resulted in complaints.
Actually, the editor-in-chief has trained when I first started, which articles can be marked as original and which are not. But when I wrote the article, I forgot. Because of my personal error, the company account was banned by WeChat for 7 days, which seriously affected Normal operation of work. As a punishment, I was deducted half a month’s salary. The most important thing is that I have not gained the trust of leaders and colleagues for a long time. For some key businesses of the company, the leaders don’t trust me, let alone promotion. With a salary increase, I am about to be marginalized.
In order to solve this problem and reshape my professional image in the minds of leaders and colleagues, I started to use checklists to manage my daily work. I compiled the notes given by the editor into a checklist, printed it out and posted it to the computer. It was time to check and tick one by one, and never made this kind of mistake again, because the long-term work was reliable, and finally the trust of the leader was regained.
You see, this kind of pediatric mistakes that I know, but accidentally made, can be avoided with checklist thinking.

deliberately practice
to cultivate his own list thinking
"Chinese Captain" prototype Captain Liu Chuanjian, is a deliberate practitioner of list thinking, his bedroom bedside, there is a thick "Flight Crew Operation Manual", every day Will flip over before going to bed.
Liu Chuanjian’s wife once teased him and said: You are all a teacher, do you still need to watch this?
Liu Chuanjian replied: Of course, the pilot must continue to learn.
Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 crash landing is definitely not a miracle, but is derived from the captain’s long-term construction of checklist thinking and his deliberate practice every day.
wants to cultivate list thinking, the method is very simple, four words: deliberate practice.
On a business trip, pack your luggage and you are afraid of leaving things, make a list!
There are too many things every day and I feel that there is not enough time. Make a priority list!
always miss this and that detail every time you do an event, make a list! Every time
encounters a problem, sort out the logic and key points in your mind, and then make a list. You do it 10 times or 100 times. After you develop this habit, you will have list thinking.
Since so many problems can be solved with checklists, you must want to know how to make checklists. Next, let me share some tips with you. How does
04
practice list thinking?
01 Classify questions
Before making the list, we must classify the questions first, and use different lists to deal with different questions.
Simple problems refer to problems with clear solutions, just take the list and follow them.
is like cooking and installing bookshelves. If you follow the steps, you can cook a good dish and install a bookshelf.
When I pack my luggage every time I go on a business trip, I either forget to bring my toothbrush or the charger. I make a baggage checklist, and I can ensure that I bring everything with me every time.
Complex problems are very professional, and there are too many steps, and they are easy to forget. Use a checklist to remind yourself.
Actually, this kind of checklist is used by each of us during the interview.
Interviews are highly subjective. Whether the other party looks good or not, whether he sounds good or not, will affect the interviewer’s judgment. Therefore, during the interview, there must be a checklist to record, for example, whether the other party’s learning ability, communication ability, and work Key factors such as experience and job matching, so that you will not be misled during the interview.
is like raising a child, building a house, things you need,There are too many people involved, you need to check the checklist to ensure the operation of key links, and you also need to communicate the checklist to deal with unpredictable uncertainties.
To build a skyscraper, soil, materials, labor and other factors will affect the final results. After you use the checklist to ensure the stability of the construction, you also need a communication list to deal with a material out of stock. , A certain technical cost adjustment and other uncertain factors, so that after a problem occurs, front-line workers can find professional people to solve professional things and ensure the progress of the project through the communication list as soon as possible.
02 Three main points of making a list
After knowing what is the problem and what list to use, then how to make the list next? I have summarized three main points:
is concise, just pick the key points, and not be wordy.
Imagine that when your phone is broken, you have to follow the list to do 30 or 40 steps to unlock it. Are you willing to do it? At this time, I found a repair shop to fix it.
is efficient, meaning that others can make results at the first glance.
We often ridicule the wonderful Chinese recipes: add a little salt, a proper amount of soy sauce, how much is a little and a proper amount? Such a list is completely inefficient. If you change it to "100ml of water, half a porcelain spoon of sugar," it will be more specific, and novices in the kitchen can use it for cooking.
is feasible, which means that you can do it right away.
For example, this article checklist shared by Zolo Luo during his writing class, the items that need to be done are very concise and can be measured with clear indicators, and all editors can use it immediately.
Before making a list, you must first have an overall grasp of the work. What do you need to do and what steps are there? Then list the most important and critical checkpoints, set in advance which key node and which list to use.
Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 in "Chinese Captain", because it is flying to plateau, there is a list of specific plateau decompression procedures. When the key node of windshield breakage is encountered, the list of specific plateau decompression procedures must be taken out and proceed to the next step. operating.
It is impossible for you to make a good list and use it all the time. When you use it, there will definitely be problems. Only by doing and making changes can it gradually become an increasingly high-quality list.
After the 5.14 Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 incident, because there was no windshield drop procedure in the list, the airline adjusted the flight list and designed a series of operations by Liu Chuanjian into a standardized process for pilots all over the world to learn from.
The above is about sharing list thinking, I hope it will be useful to you.
In "Chinese Captain", we see the role of checklist thinking. Even if the incident is special, the command of the checklist is universal. Captain Liu Chuanjian has created a miracle with his trust and professionalism in the checklist. . I hope you will develop the habit of using the checklist to help you do one thing efficiently and with high quality.
Finally, I want to say that no matter how good the list is, it is nonsense if it is out of implementation.
