“全球40位40歲以下商界精英”的成功秘訣
《財(cái)富》雜志評(píng)選的2018年“全球40位40歲以下商界精英”名單發(fā)布了。他們身上無(wú)疑有很多特質(zhì),但絕無(wú)任何一人是時(shí)下流行的所謂“佛系青年”。 他們有的創(chuàng)辦了市值幾十億美元的公司,有的提供獨(dú)特產(chǎn)品或服務(wù),因而在《財(cái)富》美國(guó)500強(qiáng)中占得一席之地,有的是政界精英,還有的是奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)得主,總之是我們拍馬都追不上的人生贏家。他們何以如此成功? 我們向這些商界精英請(qǐng)教了他們?cè)谔岣吖ぷ餍噬嫌心男┬「[門,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些被多次共同提及的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。下面就來(lái)看看他們的經(jīng)驗(yàn)之談?dòng)心男┻m合你。 不要花太多時(shí)間開會(huì) 每周至少應(yīng)該有三天不要開會(huì),把所有時(shí)間用來(lái)專注做事。我把每周所有的會(huì)議都安排在周二和周四,其余幾天專心完成三個(gè)最重要的目標(biāo)。 史蒂芬妮·蘭普金,33歲 Blendoor公司創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官 只要不開會(huì),我每天都抽時(shí)間做一些前瞻性的思考,這樣我才能思慮周詳,先處理重要的事情。我手機(jī)上下載的應(yīng)用也非常少(除了Lyft),以免被手機(jī)分心。 約翰·齊默,34歲 Lyft公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼總裁 勤動(dòng)筆 我喜歡把什么事情都寫下來(lái),包括:重要的決策、每日首要目標(biāo)、待辦事項(xiàng),還有五花八門的想法。這有助于我完成每天最重要的事,避免忘掉任何事情,也能讓我很好地反思一些重要時(shí)刻,以后對(duì)新員工是很好的借鑒。 維拉德·特內(nèi)夫,31歲 Robinhood公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼聯(lián)合首席執(zhí)行官 我的每一天從清單開始,以清單結(jié)束。列出清單可以幫助我在紛雜的電子郵件中理出思緒,將每天要做的最重要的兩三件事清零。 安努·達(dá)格爾,39歲 Female Founders Fund創(chuàng)始合伙人 每天我都會(huì)寫下我的決心(我想在世界上成就的事業(yè))和我的目標(biāo)(如果我今天只能做三件事,它們分別是什么)。然后我會(huì)先做這三件事,之后再去做其他事,比如查看電子郵件。 布萊恩·阿姆斯特朗,35歲 Coinbase聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官 學(xué)會(huì)說“不” 如果你的日程上沒有其他安排,當(dāng)有人邀請(qǐng)你去開會(huì)或者參加活動(dòng)時(shí),你可能很容易地就答應(yīng)了。但不管你的日程是松是緊,對(duì)這種活動(dòng)都要嚴(yán)格篩選。學(xué)會(huì)拒絕可以使你擁有思考的自由和選擇如何分配時(shí)間的自由,而不是讓別人支配你的時(shí)間。 大衛(wèi)·吉爾伯阿,37歲 Warby Parker公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼聯(lián)合首席執(zhí)行官 如果你無(wú)法所有對(duì)你相信和喜歡的事情說“好”,這當(dāng)然是痛苦的。但為了保證你的精力和時(shí)間,多說“不”也是很重要的。 卡特里娜·蕾珂,35歲 Stich Fix公司創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官 我們常說,所謂戰(zhàn)略,就是你對(duì)什么事情說“不”。我發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)于日常工作來(lái)說,先集中精力攻克一件事,然后再做下一件事,是非常重要的。所以等你有能力回復(fù)的時(shí)候再去查收郵件吧。 尼爾·布盧門特哈爾,37歲 Warby Parker公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼聯(lián)合首席執(zhí)行官 給自己放松的時(shí)間 休息是為了更好地工作,所以你不必為休假感到愧疚。我花了很多年才轉(zhuǎn)變了心態(tài),而且有時(shí)還需要做一番心理斗爭(zhēng)才行。 杰辛達(dá)·阿德恩,37歲 新西蘭總理 注意休息,保持足夠的睡眠,照顧好自己。你可能經(jīng)常忙得不可開交,或者經(jīng)常加班。但如果你的思維不夠敏銳,那么你只是浪費(fèi)了更多時(shí)間。 阿蘭·漢密爾頓,37歲 Backstage Capital創(chuàng)始人兼執(zhí)行合伙人 我每個(gè)月都抽幾天時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)離辦公室,強(qiáng)迫自己做一些創(chuàng)新思考,產(chǎn)生一些思想火花。 馬克·斯塔德,39歲 Dragoneer Investment Group創(chuàng)始人兼合伙人 多睡覺。(要聲明的是,我沒有孩子,所以我能這樣說。)如果我感覺累了,我基本上能睡九到十個(gè)小時(shí),周末只要條件允許,我能睡十到十二個(gè)小時(shí),而且我已經(jīng)保持這種習(xí)慣很多年了。 安迪·鄧恩,39歲 Bonobos品牌創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官;沃爾瑪數(shù)字客戶品牌高級(jí)副總裁 招聘要有智慧 你身邊應(yīng)該都是自己信任的人。 喬伊·萊文,38歲 IAC公司首席執(zhí)行官 在招聘上不要妥協(xié),要招聘優(yōu)秀的人才,對(duì)他們?cè)O(shè)定高預(yù)期,為他們提供盡可能多的背景情況,提高透明度。 林恩·朱莉奇,39歲 Sunrun公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官 注意傾聽 開會(huì)時(shí)不要一心多用。很多人喜歡在開會(huì)時(shí)回郵件、發(fā)短信、甚至放松注意力,尤其是當(dāng)你不發(fā)言的時(shí)候。我發(fā)現(xiàn),當(dāng)我全神貫注地傾聽某個(gè)人或某個(gè)話題時(shí),會(huì)議往往更富有成果,會(huì)后需要跟進(jìn)和糾正的事也更少,整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)也會(huì)更加投入。 蘇米亞·巴爾貝爾,37歲 沃爾瑪電子商務(wù)、移動(dòng)和數(shù)字市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷副總裁 (財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:樸成奎 |
There are many words you could use to describe various members of Fortune’s 2018 40 Under 40 class. “Slacker” is not one of them. Whether they’re building companies worth billions of dollars, carving a prominent niche in a Fortune 500 business, leading governments or winning Academy Awards, these listers are running fast and winning big. How do they do it? We asked our 40 Under 40 crew for their best productivity tips. And, as it turns out, some common themes emerged. Read on to see which tips may work for you. Don’t Spend Too Much Time in Meetings Dedicate at least 3 days a week to having zero meetings and just get things done. I try to have all my meetings on Tuesday and Thursday, leaving the remaining days to focus on our top 3 goals. Stephanie Lampkin, 33 Founder & CEO, Blendoor I carve out time every day to be proactive, with no meetings, so I can be thoughtful and prioritize. I also have very few applications on my phone (aside from Lyft) to eliminate distractions. John Zimmer, 34 Cofounder & President, Lyft Write It Down I write everything down: important decisions, my number-one goal for the day, to-dos, and miscellaneous thoughts. It helps me focus on what’s most important each day, not forget anything, and provides a nice look back at key moments and inflection points that can be good teaching moments for new employees down the road. Vlad Tenev, 31 Cofounder & Co-CEO, Robinhood I start my day with lists and end my day with lists. It helps me cut through the noise of email and zero in on the two/three most important things to accomplish everyday. Anu Duggal, 39 Founding Partner, Female Founders Fund Everyday, I write down affirmations (what I aspire to be in the world) and my goals (if I only got three things done today, what would they be). Then I start on those three things, before looking at anything else like my inbox. Brian Armstrong, 35 Cofounder & CEO, Coinbase Just Say No It can be easy to say yes to a meeting or event invite when there is nothing on your calendar, but even then people should have a very strict filter. Saying no allows freedom to think and to choose how to spend that time instead of letting others choose for you. Dave Gilboa, 37 Cofounder & Co-CEO, Warby Parker It is painful that I can’t say yes to everything I believe in or would enjoy but it’s also critical to my sanity and my time that I say no a lot. Katrina Lake, 35 Founder & CEO, Stich Fix We often say strategy is what you say no to. I find for day-to-day work, focusing on one activity before moving on to the next is critical. Check email only when you have the ability to respond. Neil Blumenthal, 37 Cofounder & Co-CEO, Warby Parker Make Time to Relax Time out makes you better at your job, and isn’t something you should feel guilty about. It took me years to accept that, and I still fight it. Jacinda Ardern, 37 Prime Minister, New Zealand Take breaks, get enough sleep, take care of yourself. You can be “busy” and work more hours, but if you’re not sharp, then you end up wasting more time than not. Arlan Hamilton, 37 Founder & Managing Partner, Backstage Capital Every month I spend a few days away from the office somewhere remote, to force myself to make time for creative thinking and idea generation. Marc Stad, 39 Founder & Partner, Dragoneer Investment Group Sleep a lot. As much as you can. (Disclaimer: I don’t have kids, so I get to say this.) I routinely sleep nine or ten hours a night when I feel tired, and if I can sleep ten to twelve hours on the weekends, I do, and have done so for years. Andy Dunn, 39 Founder & CEO Bonobos; SVP of Digital Consumer Brands, Walmart Hire Smart … Surround yourself with people you trust. Joey Levin, 38 CEO, IAC Don’t compromise on hiring great people, set high expectations for them, and create transparency by providing them a lot of context. Lynn Jurich, 39 Cofunder & CEO, Sunrun … Then Listen Up! Minimize multi-tasking during meetings. It can be tempting to respond to emails, slack or texts during meetings, especially when you are not speaking. I’ve found when I give someone or a topic my full attention, it usually leads to more productive meetings, less revisions, fewer follow-ups and, in general, a more engaged team.
