商界女超人十大成功秘訣
????《財(cái)富》雜志(Fortune)從1998年開(kāi)始評(píng)選商界女強(qiáng)人(我們開(kāi)創(chuàng)了此類評(píng)選的先河)。從那時(shí)起,我便一直在探討最具影響力商界女性們(Most Powerful Women)的成功秘訣。她們是如何登上巔峰,并保持長(zhǎng)久輝煌的?一個(gè)月之后,我們將公布2011年最具影響力商界女性的評(píng)選結(jié)果,現(xiàn)在正是分享她們職場(chǎng)成功秘訣的時(shí)候。以下為筆者總結(jié)的十大秘訣: ????1. 不必規(guī)劃自己的職業(yè)生涯。在最具影響力商界女性榜單中,包括從2006年便一直名列榜首的百事可樂(lè)公司(PepsiCo)CEO盧英德在內(nèi),大部分人從大學(xué)或商學(xué)院畢業(yè)后并沒(méi)有明確的職場(chǎng)規(guī)劃。相反,她們始終保持靈活和開(kāi)放的姿態(tài),來(lái)迎接任何可能出現(xiàn)的機(jī)遇和挑戰(zhàn)。 ????2. 忘掉晉升階梯;把職場(chǎng)當(dāng)做攀爬架。世界變化太快,難以捉摸,梯子到底有什么意義?誰(shuí)能預(yù)見(jiàn)明天最理想的工作是什么?把自己的職業(yè)想象成攀爬架,睜大眼睛,保持開(kāi)闊的視野,從周圍尋找機(jī)會(huì)。 ????3. 著眼于眼前。簡(jiǎn)?菲爾茲最初在麥當(dāng)勞(McDonald's)負(fù)責(zé)炸薯?xiàng)l工作,通過(guò)不懈努力終于成為麥當(dāng)勞美國(guó)區(qū)總裁。她認(rèn)為:“如果連當(dāng)前的工作都做不好,何談下一份工作?”菲爾茲表示,預(yù)想一個(gè)最終目標(biāo)當(dāng)然非常重要,但“首先必須專注于眼下的工作,否則永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)有長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的機(jī)會(huì)。” ????4. 瞄準(zhǔn)人生大方向,不必在意一時(shí)得失。可以說(shuō),雅芳產(chǎn)品公司(Avon Products)CEO鐘彬嫻的成功靠的就是這句話。當(dāng)時(shí),她在公司CEO的首次角逐中敗北,時(shí)任雅芳董事會(huì)成員、時(shí)代集團(tuán)(Time Inc.)前任CEO的安?摩爾給了她這條忠告。于是,鐘彬嫻打消了離開(kāi)的念頭,留在了公司。鐘彬嫻從1999年便一直擔(dān)任雅芳公司CEO,是《財(cái)富》500強(qiáng)公司(Fortune 500)中任期最長(zhǎng)的女性CEO。同時(shí),她還在蘋果公司(Apple)與通用電氣公司(General Electric)董事會(huì)任職。 |
????Ever since Fortune, in 1998, started ranking the top women in business (yes, we were first), I've been asking the stars of the Most Powerful Women list how they reached the top and how they stay there. One month away from revealing our 2011 MPW rankings, now seems a good time to share some of their best career tips. Here is my Top 10: ????1. Don't plan your career. Most of the women on the Fortune MPW list, starting with PepsiCo (PEP) CEO Indra Nooyi, No. 1 in the rankings since 2006, had no clear career map when they graduated college or business school. Rather, they stayed flexible and open to the possibilities. ????2. Forget the ladder; climb the jungle gym. What good is a ladder when the world is changing so fast and unpredictably--and who knows what tomorrow's ideal job will be? Think of your career as a jungle gym, sharpen your peripheral vision, and look for opportunities all around. ????3. Worry about the job you're in. "If you don't do that one well, you'll never get the next one," says Jan Fields, who started out cooking French fries at McDonald's (MCD) and rose to U.S. President. While it's important to envision some ultimate goal, says Fields, "you have to focus on what you have right now, or that long-term opportunity won't come." ????4. Follow your compass, not your clock. Avon Products (AVP) CEO Andrea Jung lives by this advice, ever since she got passed over the first time around, for the CEO job. Former Time Inc. (TWX) CEO Ann Moore, on the Avon board at the time, gave Jung this advice. It's good that Jung stayed. In the CEO role since 1999, she's now the longest-serving female chief in the Fortune 500, and she's on the Apple (AAPL) and General Electric (GE) boards. |
