Tinyfool同學(xué)介紹過這個(gè)帖子
其中有一個(gè)答案很贊术荤。英文如下:
Two skills are incredibly rare: (1) Doing what you say you will do (be reliable); (2) Keeping track of yourself
Doing what you tell people you will do
If you can teach your kids a useful skill that will always help them with their career: teach them to be reliable -- to do what they say they will do. (It is harder than it sounds.)
If you consistently do what you say you will do, you will almost certainly be someone people desire to have on their teams. It is so rare that when you work with someone who is reliable, you never ever want to work with anyone else. You will do anything to keep that person on your team.
Doing what you say you are going to do starts with setting the right expectations. If you tell someone you will get them the deliverable by Tuesday, you need to understand that it can actually be delivered by Tuesday. If you are good, you are probably factoring in slack in case someone in corporate slows you down or your child gets sick.
And so if your boss wants something done Monday and you think it cannot be done until Wednesday, you need to be up-front. Because once a date is agreed to, you're on the hook for accomplishing it.
On the less-skilled end of the job spectrum, many people cannot commit to showing up to work consistently and on time. There are many external factors in their life that make even these commitments hard to achieve.
So do everything you can to be reliable -- because there are very few people that one can rely on.
Keep track of yourself
The corollary to being reliable is to make sure you manage yourself.
If you can manage all your tasks and deliverables without reminders, you will be treated like the golden child.
If your boss or colleagues never need to remind you about a project, deliverable, an answer to an email, etc., they will be able to take a load off their mind and be allowed to focus on other areas. And they will appreciate not having to have the uncomfortable conversation with you ("where is that item that was due yesterday?").
This takes a lot of hard work and organization, but most people can do it. You don't need a PhD (or even a college degree) to be on top of everything. You just need to be organized and prioritize its importance. Of course, while most people CAN do this, most people DON'T do this -- so doing it will be a huge differentiator for you.
The underrated skills
If all you do is be reliable and keep track of yourself, you will be indispensable to any company.
我做了一下快速的簡單翻譯赌朋。如下:
兩個(gè)非常普通的技能:1墨状、靠譜图筹,做到你承諾要做的帅刀。2、自我跟進(jìn)远剩。
做你承諾要做的
如果你要教給你的孩子們一個(gè)能夠一直幫助他們職業(yè)生涯的有用技巧扣溺,那就告訴他們一定要靠譜,去過他們承諾要做的事情——這其實(shí)比聽起來要困難得多瓜晤。
如果你一直保持“完成你承諾的任務(wù)”這個(gè)習(xí)慣锥余,你幾乎是任何一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)最渴望的成員了。你過你和一個(gè)靠譜的人合作過痢掠,你基本不會(huì)愿意和其他人共事了驱犹。你會(huì)盡力將這樣的人留在你的團(tuán)隊(duì)里嘲恍。
做你承諾要做的,讓你在事務(wù)開始的時(shí)候雄驹,可以設(shè)定正確的期待值佃牛。如果你告訴他人,你會(huì)在周二交付任務(wù)医舆,你需要懂得這意味著任務(wù)就必須能在周二交付俘侠。如果你擅長這個(gè)的話,你可能還需要考慮到意外情況:項(xiàng)目可能被其他人拖累或者你的孩子突然生病彬向。
所以兼贡,如果你的老板認(rèn)為某個(gè)事情應(yīng)該周一完成,而你認(rèn)為周三前不可能搞定,那你需要預(yù)先明說妈倔。因?yàn)橐坏┻@個(gè)日子被確定锁摔,你就陷入了完成任務(wù)的陷阱。
在一些普通的工作領(lǐng)域凿蒜,也有很多人沒法按照預(yù)期準(zhǔn)時(shí)完成工作,因?yàn)樗麄兊纳钪杏泻芏嗤獠恳蛩貙?dǎo)致他們很難實(shí)現(xiàn)工作承諾胁黑。
所以废封,盡一切可能讓自己靠譜,因?yàn)楹苌儆心苷嬲龅竭@個(gè)丧蘸。
自我跟進(jìn)
要能夠做到靠譜最重要的就是能夠進(jìn)行自我管理漂洋。
如果你不需要?jiǎng)e人的提醒,就能夠管理好自己的工作任務(wù)和工作交付力喷,那么你就是工作上的金寶貝刽漂。
如果你的老板和同事,從來不需要提醒你某個(gè)項(xiàng)目弟孟、交付或者回復(fù)郵件等等贝咙,他們就不需要時(shí)刻保持高負(fù)載關(guān)注你的項(xiàng)目,而能夠聚焦去處理其他工作拂募。他們會(huì)非常高興不需要和你進(jìn)行不愉快的對(duì)話庭猩,比如:昨天需要提交的工作內(nèi)容究竟在哪里?
這個(gè)確實(shí)需要花費(fèi)心力去組織自己的工作陈症,但是大多數(shù)人能能夠做到蔼水。你不需要一個(gè)博士學(xué)位(甚至一個(gè)學(xué)士學(xué)位),你只需要去組織自己的工作并把重要的事務(wù)排在更高的優(yōu)先級(jí)爬凑。當(dāng)然徙缴,很多人能做到這個(gè),也有很多人做不到——做到這個(gè),會(huì)讓自己完全不同于样。
這是被低估的技能
所以疏叨,如果你能夠做到靠譜并且時(shí)刻跟進(jìn)自己的工作,你對(duì)任何一個(gè)公司都是必不可少的穿剖。
