1. Forget about excuses 不要尋找借口
Forget rare exceptions no boss cares why an assignment wasn't done. It's your job to get it done and on time.
上司都會(huì)關(guān)心為什么分配的工作沒(méi)有完成,這很少有例外。因此及時(shí)完成工作是你的職責(zé)。
小編:感覺(jué)很對(duì),想想你是那個(gè)上司,借口、原因肯定不是你想聽到的,你只是想要一個(gè)好的result.而且即時(shí)不能完成,也要越早提出來(lái)越好。
2. Don't aim for perfection 不要苛求"完美"
Getting it done well and on time is much more important than doing it "Perfectly"
及時(shí)把工作做好比做得"完美"重要得多。
小編:有次看某人博客寫自己的某次項(xiàng)目經(jīng)歷的實(shí)際情況跟這點(diǎn)講的是完全一樣的。確實(shí),你做的工作只是整個(gè)項(xiàng)目或工程的一部分,整個(gè)項(xiàng)目或工程的進(jìn)度是很重要的。
3. Carrying your share is not enough 只做份內(nèi)事是不夠的
Bosses value people who do their job and look around for, create or ask for more real work.
上司看重那些不僅做份內(nèi)事而且主動(dòng)尋找、創(chuàng)造或要求更多實(shí)際工作的員工。
小編:上司肯定是喜歡,但是這個(gè)有兩點(diǎn):第一,你不斷要求更多的事情做,也許上司會(huì)覺(jué)得你的工作很輕松,你做更多是應(yīng)該的,因?yàn)楣ぷ鲀?nèi)容并不一定和你的同事是完全重復(fù)的,這樣就沒(méi)有參考對(duì)象。第二,本來(lái)工作就很累了,你還這樣主動(dòng),你更累。
4. Follow Through 自始至終完成工作
Tieup the loose ends of your assignments. Don't wait to be reminded,particularly by a Supervisor. 對(duì)分配給你的工作做到有始有終,不要等到別人特別是你的主管來(lái)提醒你。
小編:這個(gè)也很好理解,每個(gè)人都要他提醒,他哪有那么多時(shí)間,而且他還有更重要的事情做。
5. Anticipate Problems 預(yù)見(jiàn)到問(wèn)題
When your responsibilities depend on input from others, check their plans and their understanding of what you're requesting.
當(dāng)你的工作有賴于他人的參與時(shí),要核對(duì)他們的計(jì)劃并確認(rèn)他們理解你的要求。
小編:這個(gè)屬于溝通問(wèn)題的一例,肯定是重要的了。既然你的工作和別人有銜接,那么理解別人的工作和讓別人理解你的工作都是很重要的。
6. Be Resilient About Problems 堅(jiān)韌樂(lè)觀地面對(duì)難題
Part of carrying your responsibilities is understanding that unforeseeable
failures by others are a routine part of work life. When problemsoccur, no one is picking on you and you can't excuse it as bad luck.
發(fā)生別人無(wú)法預(yù)料到的失誤是工作生涯中常見(jiàn)的事情。理解這一點(diǎn)就是你工作職責(zé)的一部分。當(dāng)問(wèn)題發(fā)生時(shí),沒(méi)有人怪罪于你,你也不能以運(yùn)氣不好作為借口。
小編:勇于擔(dān)當(dāng),承認(rèn)自己本來(lái)的錯(cuò)誤反而會(huì)讓人覺(jué)得你更可信任。一帆風(fēng)順時(shí)誰(shuí)都能好好表現(xiàn),關(guān)鍵是在不順時(shí)你的表現(xiàn)很重要。
7. Don't Take Problems to your boss 別把問(wèn)題留給你的上司
If you lack the authority, come prepared with solutions when you broach
the problem. Even though your boss may not use your solutions, you'vemade an impression as a problem solver - not as a problem collector.
如果你權(quán)力有限,在去見(jiàn)上司以前要準(zhǔn)備好解決問(wèn)題的方案。即使你的上司可能不采納你的解決方案,也已經(jīng)給他留下了這樣的印象:你是解決問(wèn)題而不是收集問(wèn)題的人。
小編:如果你對(duì)自己的問(wèn)題有自己的解決方案,說(shuō)明你認(rèn)真思考過(guò)問(wèn)題。你總是提一些無(wú)用的問(wèn)題浪費(fèi)主管的時(shí)間會(huì)讓人很煩。
8. Attendance counts 出滿勤
People quickly become aware of who makes an effort to be there and who uses any excuse to miss a day.
從出勤情況可以很快看出,誰(shuí)在努力工作,誰(shuí)在尋找理由混日子。
小編:即使事出有因造成你的缺勤,總是會(huì)給人一種不太好的印象,這種感知上的東西往往潛移默化的影響別人對(duì)你的看法。
9. Don't be a squeaking wheel 不要難字當(dāng)頭,喋喋不休
Don't be seen as " Here comes a problem".
不要讓人見(jiàn)到你就覺(jué)得"又來(lái)了一個(gè)問(wèn)題".
小編:?jiǎn)枂?wèn)題前要自己想google,查資料。這些必須的,但是很多東西還是要多問(wèn),特別你是新人,很多東西你覺(jué)得很難的問(wèn)題,由于老員工的經(jīng)驗(yàn),對(duì)他也許會(huì)非常easy.
10.Don't carry grudges 不要嫉妒懷恨他人
You cannot win them all. So don't squander your energy, the goodwill of your allies, and the patience of your boss by turning every issue into a crusade.
你不可能勝過(guò)所有的人,因此不要把每個(gè)問(wèn)題都變成爭(zhēng)斗,這樣就會(huì)浪費(fèi)你的精力,喪失你同事的善意和你上司的耐心。
小編:不要為了爭(zhēng)斗而爭(zhēng)斗。
11.Choose your battles carefully 慎重選擇是否"開戰(zhàn)"
Askyourself: how much difference the problem really makes. Is it worthmaking an enemy? Do I have a realistic chance of winning
捫心自問(wèn):這個(gè)問(wèn)題到底有多大的重要性?是否值得你為此樹敵?我有切實(shí)的獲勝機(jī)會(huì)嗎?
小編:確實(shí),在這種時(shí)候問(wèn)自己這樣幾個(gè)問(wèn)題很有好處,很多時(shí)候爭(zhēng)斗已經(jīng)偏離了問(wèn)題原來(lái)的本質(zhì)。
12.Deal directly with the person who makes the decision 直接與決策者打交道
Dealing with people with less authority may be easier on your nerves, but you'll be wasting time and effort.
可能與職權(quán)較小的人打交道不會(huì)使你那么緊張,但這會(huì)浪費(fèi)你的時(shí)間和精力。
小編:找到關(guān)鍵人物,我遇見(jiàn)誰(shuí)都緊張,所以遇到誰(shuí)都不緊張。
13. Keep control of problems 保持對(duì)問(wèn)題的掌控
Let's say you need some special work done. Don't stop with getting approval. If the other person doesn't follow through, you're left looking inept.
比如說(shuō)你需要完成某些特殊工作,不要因?yàn)檫未得到批準(zhǔn)而停下來(lái)不做。因?yàn)槿绻@樣,盡管是別人不配合,你卻已給人留下無(wú)能的印象。
小編:主動(dòng)解決問(wèn)題,一切都水到渠成的事情誰(shuí)都能做,怎能體現(xiàn)出你的價(jià)值?
14. Learn to translate boss language 學(xué)會(huì)"翻譯"上司的話語(yǔ)
"If it's not too much trouble" means, "Do it, and the sooner the better".
"如果這不是太麻煩的話"的意思是"做吧,而且越快越好".
小編:這個(gè)嘛,要看你上司的溝通習(xí)慣。
15. Learn what other people in the company are doing 了解公司的其他人在做什么
What were last year's big triumphs and failures?
去年公司主要的成功和不足是什么?
How does your job'intertwine with all this?
你在這中間起到什么樣的作用?
Then you'll understand when, how and where to press for your goals.
然后你將明白何時(shí)、何地及如何去追求你的目標(biāo)。
小編:這個(gè)好像在比爾·蓋茨對(duì)一個(gè)優(yōu)秀員工的定義上也有這么一點(diǎn),確實(shí),做任何事情先了解大的picture是很重要的。the apprentice里面常常講big picture,think big,雖然這是對(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的要求。
16.Get along with your co-workers 與你的同事和睦相處
Internal battles mean less production. To your boss, if you're involved, you're automatically wrong.
內(nèi)斗意味著減產(chǎn)。對(duì)你的上司來(lái)說(shuō),如果你卷入內(nèi)斗就已經(jīng)錯(cuò)了。
小編:當(dāng)然作為一個(gè)管理者,他要的是所有員工團(tuán)結(jié)一致的奮斗。即時(shí)你在爭(zhēng)斗中站在有理由的一方又如何呢?這不是他要的結(jié)果,你應(yīng)該做的消除爭(zhēng)斗。
17.Protect the company's reputation 保護(hù)公司的名譽(yù)
Never discuss company business and people where strangers can overhear. Even in private, be reticent.
不要在有陌生人能夠無(wú)意中聽到的場(chǎng)合談?wù)摴镜氖聞?wù)和人員,即使在私下也不應(yīng)當(dāng)說(shuō)。
小編:言多必失,隔墻有耳。
18.Let others win sometimes 有時(shí)候要讓別人勝出
"Sounds like a good idea. We'll do it that way". If you don't, people will resent you.
"這主意聽起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。我們就這么做吧。"否則人們會(huì)討厭你。
小編:人的心理有這么一個(gè)邏輯:"你喜歡我,我就喜歡你".適當(dāng)贊揚(yáng)別人可以讓你更好和別人相處,不斷打擊別人并不能贏得別人的敬畏和尊重。
19.Learn Timing 學(xué)會(huì)選擇時(shí)機(jī)
Develop the patience to wait for an appropriate occasion.
培養(yǎng)你的耐心,等待一個(gè)適當(dāng)時(shí)機(jī)的到來(lái)。
小編:耐心等待,修煉自己,機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)了就抓住它。
20.Don't Lie 不要撒謊
Lying will make problems worse. If you're caught in a lie, you lose your credibility.
謊言會(huì)使問(wèn)題變得更糟。如果你的謊言被拆穿,你將失去你的誠(chéng)信。
小編:誠(chéng)信失去要重新贏回來(lái)就很難了。
21.Read your industry's publications 閱讀本行業(yè)的書刊
Indicating you haven't the time or money to read will shock your bosses. To them,your lack of interest indicates no real career goals. Or worse, theymay think that you are ignorant of important professional news.
假如你聲稱沒(méi)有時(shí)間或沒(méi)錢閱讀本行業(yè)的書刊,會(huì)讓你的上司感到震驚。對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō),你缺乏興趣表明你沒(méi)有真正的職業(yè)目標(biāo)。
小編:或更糟的是,他們可能會(huì)認(rèn)為你對(duì)重要的專業(yè)新信息一無(wú)所知。這個(gè)還是big picture的問(wèn)題。
22.Get to know your peers 了解你的同行
Be active in one or more professional/trade organizations. The contacts you make and information you glean aid you on a personal level whenever you change jobs, while improving your current status.
積極參與一個(gè)或更多的專業(yè)/行業(yè)團(tuán)體。不管你什么時(shí)候?yàn)楦纳颇悻F(xiàn)有狀況而跳槽,你建立的聯(lián)系和收集的信息都會(huì)有助于你提高自身水平。
小編:這個(gè)沒(méi)得說(shuō)的,很多牛人的建議,也很好理解。
23.Never assume other people are operating from your standards 永遠(yuǎn)不要假設(shè)別人在按你的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)做事
Whenyou find yourself thinking"I never would have expected such behaviourfrom her", you know you've made the mistake of projecting your outlookon to others' behaviour.
當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)你自己在想"我決不會(huì)料到她會(huì)有這種行為"時(shí),你要知道,你己經(jīng)犯了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤, 就是把自己的想法套在了別人的行為上。
小編:我們常常在假設(shè),但是好多假設(shè)都是錯(cuò)誤的,還沒(méi)開始做,自己把自己打敗了,比如,我很喜歡一個(gè)女孩,雖然我也還覺(jué)得我不錯(cuò),但是我做了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的假設(shè),我不是她喜歡的類型,好像有點(diǎn)偏題了,呵呵。
24.Use Commonsense 運(yùn)用常識(shí)和判斷力
小編:這個(gè)世界最難的知識(shí)就是常識(shí)和判斷力。
