它始于你的转变!

我与领导人对话时,常会出现一个领导力话题:领导者如何建立一个鼓励学习的环境。

它并不是仅仅给团队提供培训那么简单。我知道许多领导者非常乐意让团队成员接受培训;甚至提供时间及资金。强调培训固然是好,但仅靠这一点是不会建立一个鼓励学习的环境。

It starts with a shift in you!

During my conversations with leaders, one leadership topic keeps showing up. Specifically, how a leader could create an environment that encourages learning.

It’s not as simple as just providing training for your team. I know of many leaders who’d gladly send their staff for training; even providing time and funding for them. While emphasising training is good, that alone would not create an environment that encourages learning.

这并不关乎奖励!

要拥有一支优秀的团队不容易。并不是说它很难得到,而是说它需要付出努力才能建立及维持。

我们有些人或许曾属于一个领导者只在乎完成工作的团队;我们仅仅是领导者实现目标的工具。在那种情况下,一旦有好的机会,我们很可能就会离开团队。

It’s not about rewards!

It’s hard to have a good team. I’m not saying it’s rare; I’m saying it takes an effort to nurture and maintain one.

Some of us have been with teams where the leader is only interested in getting the job done; in which we’re mere tools for the leader to achieve his/her goals. Chances are, I would move on as soon as an opportunity comes along.

这并不很困难,而且你不需要单独去做!

团队领导者面对的一个主要挑战,是如何持续激励团队。一个积极有干劲的团队不仅会发挥他们的最好,而且也会团结得更长久。

我曾经参与数个积极有干劲的团队,也有幸能带领数个那样的团队。但并非每个团队都是一开始便是那样子的。

我曾带领的一个团队就特别具有挑战性:因为当我接任团队领导时,他们已经士气低落!

It’s not that difficult, and you don’t have to do it alone!

One major challenge of all team leaders is to keep their teams motivated. A motivated team would not only give their best but also stay together longer.

I was privileged to be with highly-motivated teams and have led several ones too. But not all teams started that way.

One team that I led was particularly challenging because they were already demoralised when I took over as the team leader!

这不仅仅是关于任务!

你或许有听过这句话:“领导就是把任务完成。” 或 “领导就是透过他人把任务完成。”

然而,一个好的领导者需要意识到,领导不只关乎任务,也关乎人。唯有当你的团队成功,你才能算是成功的领导者!

Continue reading “领导者,你的团队需要你为他们做五件事来帮助他们成功。”

It’s not just about the tasks!

You have probably heard the saying that “Leadership is getting things done.” or, “Leadership is getting things done through other people.”

A good leader, however, needs to realise that leadership is as much about the people as about the tasks. You can only succeed as a leader if your team succeed!

Continue reading “Five things your team need from you, the leader, in order to succeed.”

这比你想象的更重要!!

领导者是很忙碌的一群人。

我们需要确保团队(或机构)实现目标并完成使命。除了自己的主要责任之外,我们还需要处理额外的事务,如照顾和激励团队。

每一天都有许多事务等着我们处理:不仅是那些与我们有直接关联的事情,还包括一些与我们没直接关联的事情。有那么多事情要处理,我们往往会非常地忙碌;有些领导者甚至把 “忙碌” 当成荣誉勋章!

It’s more important than you think!

Leaders are a busy lot of people.

We are responsible for getting our team (or organisation) to the goals and making sure the team accomplishes its mission. Apart from our primary objectives, we also have secondary responsibilities, like taking care of and motivating our team, among others.

Each day, many things demand our attention: not only those we’re primarily responsible for but sometimes those we are not directly responsible for. With so many things to deal with, we tend to be very busy most of the time; though some leaders actually wear “busyness” as a badge of honour!
