“透視領導力”是《財富》雜志的一個在線社區(qū)，最睿智、最有影響力的商界大佬會在這里及時回答一些有關職業(yè)生涯和領導力的問題。今天的問題是：怎樣避免倦??？答問者是美國獵頭公司LaSalle Network的首席執(zhí)行官湯姆?金貝爾。 想避免倦怠的感覺，沒有哪條定則能放之四海而皆準。我們都是平常人，職業(yè)生涯中遲早都會經(jīng)歷不同程度的倦怠。最佳對策是找出對自己有用的解決辦法。無論何時，假如我手下170名員工里開始覺得特別累，我都會鼓勵他們適當調整自己，早日恢復最佳工作狀態(tài)。具體情況每名員工因人而異，也跟工作年限長短有關。比如一名新員工可能就沒有資歷深厚的老員工善于調整。 如果一位業(yè)績不錯的員工感覺筋疲力盡想提前下班休息，我會讓他們靈活處理。如果他們申請在家工作一天，全神貫注不受干擾地做項目，我也會批準。每個人都不一樣，我們恢復精力所需的工作環(huán)境也各不相同。所以，支持并鼓勵員工自行調整狀態(tài)很重要。其實只要有點變化就能避免倦怠。比如午飯時間散散步，讓生活豐富起來；或者在辦公室里換個地方坐，或者調整做項目的次序。 在辦公室里找點樂子，做些日常工作之外的事也會有幫助。在Lasalle Network公司，為了保持員工的士氣，我們每隔一陣就會做搶椅子的游戲，或者比賽轉呼啦圈。某天早晨我們會請一位吉他演奏者到辦公室來表演，或者集體做瑜伽。哪怕只離開辦公桌一小時也會有助于員工重振精神。不過，短平快的方法有時會沒效果。如果真是如此，員工可能要認真考慮適不適合這份工作，問問自己：喜不喜歡來公司上班？是否熱愛正在做的工作？跟同事和上司相處是否愉快？ 如果目前的工作讓你不開心，可能是時候做些改變了。但在調整之前應該列個單子明確對新工作的預期。也許你要承擔更多職責，或者接受新的挑戰(zhàn)。同主管經(jīng)理談談想法，看看今后有什么可以一起努力的地方；討論你想?yún)⑴c的新項目，或者手頭哪些項目可以暫時擱置；說出目前工作里有哪些方面是你喜歡的，哪些是感覺有困難的。只要稍微改變下工作日的節(jié)奏就能驅散倦怠感，偶爾可能要變化大點。不管怎樣做，最重要的就是誠實面對自己的感覺，選擇最管用的對策。（財富中文網(wǎng)） 譯者：Pessy 審校：夏林 |
The Leadership Insider network is an online community where the most thoughtful and influential people in business contribute answers to timely questions about careers and leadership. Today’s answer to the question: How do you avoid burnout? is written by Tom Gimbel, CEO of the LaSalle Network. There’s no universal rule when it comes to avoiding burnout. You’re human, so it’s more than likely that at one point or another you will experience some sort of burnout in your career. But the best way to deal with it is to know what works for you. If and when any of my 170 employees begin to sense burnout, I always encourage them to make the changes they feel necessary to once again perform at their best. This varies for each employee and how long they’ve been with the company. For example, a new hire probably won’t receive as much flexibility as someone with longer tenure. If a proven performer feels burnt out and needs to leave early one day to recharge his or her batteries, I’ll give them the flexibility to do so. If they want to work from home one day to focus on a project without interruptions, I’m okay with that as well. We’re all different, which means we require different work environments to thrive. So it’s important tosupport and encourage people to do what’s right for them. Sometimes all it takes to avoid burnout is a little change. Mix up your day by taking walks during lunch. Sit in a different part of the office. Work on projects in a different order. It’s also helpful to have fun at the office and do things outside of your normal day-to-day tasks. At LaSalle, we’ll have chair races or a hula-hoop competition every once in a while to help reignite employees. we might bring in a guitar player to the office or do yoga one morning. Even an hour away from your desk can help you recharge. Sometimes, though, burnout can’t be solved with a quick fix. In this case, if a quick fix doesn’t solve your burnout, then you may want to reevaluate your job. Ask yourself: Do you love coming to work? Do you love what you do? Do you enjoy time with co-workers and your manager? If you’re unhappy with your current position, then it may be time for a change. But before changing jobs,make a wish list of what you want in your new role.Perhaps you need to change up responsibilities or take on a new challenge. Talk with your manager about how you’re feeling and come up with ideas together to try. Discuss new projects you can work on or ones you can put on the back burner temporarily. Talk about aspects of the role you love, and ones that are more difficult. Sometimes you can combat burnout by making small changes during the week, other times you may need to make a bigger change. Whatever it is, the important thing to acknowledge is how you’re feeling and do what works best for you. |
