“透視領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力”是《財(cái)富》雜志的一個(gè)在線社區(qū),最睿智、最有影響力的商界大佬會(huì)在這里及時(shí)回答一些有關(guān)職業(yè)生涯和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的問(wèn)題。今天的問(wèn)題是:怎樣避免倦怠?答問(wèn)者是美國(guó)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(jué),沒(méi)有哪條定則能放之四海而皆準(zhǔn)。我們都是平常人,職業(yè)生涯中遲早都會(huì)經(jīng)歷不同程度的倦怠。最佳對(duì)策是找出對(duì)自己有用的解決辦法。無(wú)論何時(shí),假如我手下170名員工里開(kāi)始覺(jué)得特別累,我都會(huì)鼓勵(lì)他們適當(dāng)調(diào)整自己,早日恢復(fù)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(zhǎng)短有關(guān)。比如一名新員工可能就沒(méi)有資歷深厚的老員工善于調(diào)整。 如果一位業(yè)績(jī)不錯(cuò)的員工感覺(jué)筋疲力盡想提前下班休息,我會(huì)讓他們靈活處理。如果他們申請(qǐng)?jiān)诩夜ぷ饕惶欤褙炞⒉皇芨蓴_地做項(xiàng)目,我也會(huì)批準(zhǔn)。每個(gè)人都不一樣,我們恢復(fù)精力所需的工作環(huán)境也各不相同。所以,支持并鼓勵(lì)員工自行調(diào)整狀態(tài)很重要。其實(shí)只要有點(diǎn)變化就能避免倦怠。比如午飯時(shí)間散散步,讓生活豐富起來(lái);或者在辦公室里換個(gè)地方坐,或者調(diào)整做項(xiàng)目的次序。 在辦公室里找點(diǎn)樂(lè)子,做些日常工作之外的事也會(huì)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(huì)做搶椅子的游戲,或者比賽轉(zhuǎn)呼啦圈。某天早晨我們會(huì)請(qǐng)一位吉他演奏者到辦公室來(lái)表演,或者集體做瑜伽。哪怕只離開(kāi)辦公桌一小時(shí)也會(huì)有助于員工重振精神。不過(guò),短平快的方法有時(shí)會(huì)沒(méi)效果。如果真是如此,員工可能要認(rèn)真考慮適不適合這份工作,問(wèn)問(wèn)自己:喜不喜歡來(lái)公司上班?是否熱愛(ài)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(kāi)心,可能是時(shí)候做些改變了。但在調(diào)整之前應(yīng)該列個(gè)單子明確對(duì)新工作的預(yù)期。也許你要承擔(dān)更多職責(zé),或者接受新的挑戰(zhàn)。同主管經(jīng)理談?wù)勏敕ǎ纯唇窈笥惺裁纯梢砸黄鹋Φ牡胤剑挥懻撃阆雲(yún)⑴c的新項(xiàng)目,或者手頭哪些項(xiàng)目可以暫時(shí)擱置;說(shuō)出目前工作里有哪些方面是你喜歡的,哪些是感覺(jué)有困難的。只要稍微改變下工作日的節(jié)奏就能驅(qū)散倦怠感,偶爾可能要變化大點(diǎn)。不管怎樣做,最重要的就是誠(chéng)實(shí)面對(duì)自己的感覺(jué),選擇最管用的對(duì)策。(財(cái)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. |
