請(qǐng)?jiān)钙脚_(tái)女掌門:后悔做錯(cuò)事好過后悔沒做
對(duì)于馬上進(jìn)入競爭激烈的就業(yè)市場的年輕人,你有什么要說的嗎? ????首先,相信自己。不管做什么,第一次肯定都沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn),所以最好的辦法就是全力投入,盡量從別人那里學(xué)習(xí)。記住,所有人都曾經(jīng)歷過這個(gè)階段——面試你的人是這樣,即將和你一起工作的人也是這樣,所以不用畏首畏尾。其次,尋找你認(rèn)為值得做的工作。如果你在工作上投入的精力和你對(duì)這個(gè)世界產(chǎn)生的影響方向一致,那就再好不過了。 其他公司里有你欣賞的嗎?原因是什么? ????我欣賞商務(wù)社交網(wǎng)站LinkedIn所取得的成就。剛開始它是一個(gè)有用的工具,供專業(yè)人士自我介紹,相互聯(lián)系,但那時(shí)的問題是用戶參與度較低。不過,隨著時(shí)間流逝,像“LinkedIn Today”這樣的新工具以及influencer這樣的博客系統(tǒng)讓它變成了一個(gè)非常有趣、引人駐足的地方。LinkedIn結(jié)合了很有用的專業(yè)工具和多元化且強(qiáng)有力的商業(yè)模式,這確實(shí)讓它與眾不同。 所有的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者都應(yīng)該具有哪一種特質(zhì)? ????體諒別人。 ????我相信最好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者都精于傾聽周圍的人所說的話,同時(shí)把別人的觀點(diǎn)納入絕妙的想法之中。最好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者懂得換位思考,知道客戶的痛處在哪里,同時(shí)通過自己的產(chǎn)品來創(chuàng)造性地解決這些問題。強(qiáng)有力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者還能體諒自己的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員,意識(shí)到人們的動(dòng)力各不相同,同時(shí)幫助人們找到可以讓他們發(fā)揮優(yōu)勢、達(dá)到最佳工作狀態(tài)的職位和項(xiàng)目。 創(chuàng)業(yè)者需要上商學(xué)院嗎? ????我非常喜歡商學(xué)院,既喜歡它的課程,又喜歡可能會(huì)遇到的那些人。我仍在使用很多在商學(xué)院學(xué)到的東西,從談判技巧到金融模型都是如此。不過,我相信通過其他渠道也能掌握成為一位偉大企業(yè)家所需要的技能——主要是以客戶為中心、有創(chuàng)造力以及堅(jiān)持不懈。實(shí)際上,我覺得商學(xué)院需要進(jìn)行調(diào)整,以便更好地讓學(xué)生為創(chuàng)業(yè)做好準(zhǔn)備。要想真正了解創(chuàng)業(yè)需要什么,唯一的途徑就是去嘗試。本科和研究生院校都應(yīng)該幫助學(xué)生在課堂學(xué)習(xí)之外更多地體驗(yàn)真實(shí)的創(chuàng)業(yè)生活。這方面有一些課程讓我感到很興奮。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) ????譯者:Charlie |
???? What would you say to a group of young people looking to enter the tough job market? ????First, believe in yourself. The first time you do anything, you've never done it before, so the best thing to do is give it your all and learn as much as you can from others. Remember that we were all there at some point – everyone who interviews you and everyone you'll be working with as well – so don't get intimidated. Second, look for work you believe is worthwhile. There's nothing better than working in a place where the time you invest in your job and the impact you make on the world are aligned. What other companies do you admire? Why? ????I admire what LinkedIn has created. It started as a useful tool for professionals to build their profiles and connect to each other, but it had a problem with low user engagement. But over time, new tools like "LinkedIn Today" and the influencer blog network have made the site a very engaging place to spend time. This combination of a highly useful professional tool with a diverse and strong business model really sets LinkedIn apart. What is one characteristic that every leader should possess? ????Empathy. ????I believe the best leaders are excellent at listening to those around them and synthesizing their insights into great ideas. The best leaders can put themselves in others' shoes, understanding the pain points of their customers and building products that creatively solve those problems. Strong leaders also exhibit empathy for their teams, recognizing people are motivated by different things and helping them find roles and projects that leverage their strengths and bring out their best work. Is business school necessary for entrepreneurs? ????I'm a big fan of business school, both for what you learn and for the people you have the chance to meet. I still use plenty of the things I learned in business school, from negotiation tactics to financial modeling. That said, I believe it's possible to master the skills of great entrepreneurs – primarily customer focus, creativity, and relentless persistence – through other channels as well. In fact, I think business schools need to adapt to do a better job preparing students to become entrepreneurs. The only way to really learn what it takes is to try it, and both undergraduate and graduate schools should be helping students get more real-life entrepreneurship experience beyond classroom learning. I'm excited about some of the programs coming out in this arena. |
