職場(chǎng)叢林：拼智力還是拼努力
一個(gè)人的成功或失敗到底取決于什么因素？它不是取決于機(jī)敏精明、天資聰穎、幸運(yùn)，而是取決于堅(jiān)韌。怎樣成為一個(gè)堅(jiān)忍不拔的人？你需要做到5件事。
My daughter has a high IQ. I’ve always sensed it, and eventually, proved it with a test. At leastonce a month we have this ritual. “I’m not learning anything,” she says to me, as she’s facedwith her after school homework. “School’s not about getting smarter,” I tell her, “It’s aboutworking harder.”
我女兒的智商挺高。在她小的時(shí)候我就有這種想法，后來(lái)帶她做了智商測(cè)試，結(jié)果不出所料。每月我們至少進(jìn)行一次以下例行公事的對(duì)話。她面對(duì)著課外作業(yè)，對(duì)我說(shuō)：“我每天上學(xué)學(xué)不到任何東西�！蔽覄t教導(dǎo)她說(shuō)：“上學(xué)并不是為了讓你變聰明，而是讓你更努力。”
Having spent the past two decades watching people rise and fall in the innovation economy,I’ve never been convinced that IQ has much clout. In fact, I think it’s a burden if you think itdoes. It’s not smarts, it’s not talent, it’s not even luck or chance that separates the risers fromthe fallers – it’s grit.
在職場(chǎng)中經(jīng)歷了20年的風(fēng)雨，見(jiàn)多了人們?cè)趧?chuàng)新經(jīng)濟(jì)中的沉浮，我一直認(rèn)為IQ在職場(chǎng)中并不是那么重要。非但如此，如果你真把IQ看得過(guò)于重要，反而會(huì)成為一種負(fù)擔(dān)。我認(rèn)為真正在創(chuàng)新經(jīng)濟(jì)中主宰人之沉浮的因素并不是機(jī)敏精明、天資聰穎、幸運(yùn)或機(jī)遇，而是“堅(jiān)韌”。
The term “grit” was made popular in academic circles in 2013 by Angela Duckworth, apsychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania Psychology. Calling it the “quality ofbeing able to sustain your passions, and also work really hard at them, over reallydisappointingly long periods of time,” she explained that people with grit are people who canovercome stress and use failure as a means to achieve their ultimate goals.
2013年，“堅(jiān)韌”這個(gè)詞在學(xué)術(shù)圈流行起來(lái)還要?dú)w功于賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)心理學(xué)系教授安吉拉o達(dá)克沃什。她把“堅(jiān)韌”解釋為“在漫長(zhǎng)、沮喪而艱難的歲月中，能夠支撐你的熱情，敦促你為目標(biāo)奮力工作的品質(zhì)”，她認(rèn)為堅(jiān)韌的人能克服壓力，把失敗化為追逐終極目標(biāo)的手段。
I’ll add – grit isn’t just working hard; it’s continuing that effort long after the fat lady has begunsinging. It’s finishing the race when you’re dead last. It’s seeing failure as a simple, necessarystep to achieve what you want. To me, grit is an indomitable spirit.
除此之外，我認(rèn)為堅(jiān)韌并不是只有努力工作這一層含義;它還包括在目標(biāo)達(dá)成后仍然努力不停歇。是奔跑到生命最后一刻的精神。堅(jiān)韌的人，把失敗看得簡(jiǎn)單，就是通往夢(mèng)想的必須。我理解的堅(jiān)韌，是一種不屈不撓的精神。
Duckworth and her colleagues were able to use their measure of grit to predict successfuloutcomes in everything from the Scripps National Spelling Bee to graduation from Chicagopublic schools. Students with grit continuously prevailed over those with high IQs.
達(dá)克沃什及同事用他們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)的“堅(jiān)韌量表”測(cè)量人們的堅(jiān)韌度，并據(jù)此成功預(yù)測(cè)了很多事情，包括斯克里普斯全美拼字比賽的優(yōu)勝者和芝加哥公立學(xué)校的畢業(yè)率等等。堅(jiān)韌的學(xué)生總是能壓倒性地超過(guò)那些聰明的學(xué)生。
It’s a funny thing when something as seemingly concrete as IQ gets trumped by what mostpeople assume are just a personality trait. I’m with Duckworth, though. Grit can bemeasured.
大部分人認(rèn)為堅(jiān)韌只是一種個(gè)性品質(zhì)，所以他們覺(jué)得，一種無(wú)形的個(gè)性品質(zhì)竟然能把IQ這種似乎可以視為有形的特質(zhì)比下去有點(diǎn)可笑。但我同意達(dá)克沃什的看法。堅(jiān)韌是可測(cè)的。
And when I hire, it’s the number one thing I look for in a candidate. If you want to be gritty,here’s what I ask of you.
在招聘員工的時(shí)候，我最首要的關(guān)注點(diǎn)在于候選人是否堅(jiān)韌。如果你想變成一個(gè)堅(jiān)韌的人，下面這幾點(diǎn)是你必須要做到的。
Know how to fail.
知道如何失敗。
If you’ve ever done any prototyping, you’ll know that failure is systemic to the model. You getto a place where you’re 70% right, implement your idea, and learn from the data produced byyour mistakes. Innovation requires failure, and yet somehow, our schools still teach us to avoidit. What a disservice we do when we tell children with high IQs they shouldn’t be capable offailure, so long as they try. In doing so, we close off their chance for learning. When I hire, Ilook for the person who failed the first time around and came back a second time with anarsenal. I don’t just want the risk-takers, I want the people who use those risks and failures tolearn. Grit is resilience.
假如你用過(guò)原型法，你就會(huì)明白失敗是完善原型系統(tǒng)的必須。當(dāng)你設(shè)計(jì)的原型最初有70%成功保證的時(shí)候，貫徹你的想法，并從錯(cuò)誤中得到資料，用于進(jìn)一步改進(jìn)系統(tǒng)。創(chuàng)新需要失敗，但是學(xué)校卻在教導(dǎo)我們規(guī)避失敗。我們?cè)诟咧巧痰暮⒆觽儑L試做某件事的時(shí)候，不斷提醒他們不要犯錯(cuò)，這樣做對(duì)他們其實(shí)是一種傷害。我們這么做是剝奪了他們學(xué)習(xí)的權(quán)利。招聘新員工的時(shí)候，我尋找的是經(jīng)歷過(guò)第一次的失敗，總結(jié)經(jīng)驗(yàn)后再次參加面試的人。我不只需要敢于冒險(xiǎn)的員工，我需要能從風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和失敗中總結(jié)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的員工。堅(jiān)韌是一種復(fù)原力。
Forget the grade.
忘記個(gè)人成績(jī)。
Grit is working hard without the need for recognition. My friend Jane Park, CEO of Julep, toldme that the biggest problems she and her peers have with young hires is that they’re workingfor the A grade and not for the team. You want to be gritty? Put in your time – not for yourown betterment, but for the team’s betterment. Be dependable and follow through for yourteam. Make it your goal to show up for something bigger than you.
堅(jiān)韌是努力工作，無(wú)需認(rèn)可。聚麗(Julep)首席執(zhí)行官珍妮o帕克是我的朋友，她曾跟我談起她和同行們發(fā)現(xiàn)的一個(gè)問(wèn)題，就是年輕雇員在工作中存在一個(gè)共性，他們工作是為自己能嶄露頭角，而并不是為了整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)。你想變成堅(jiān)韌的人嗎?努力讓整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)進(jìn)步，而不僅僅是為了你個(gè)人。依靠你的團(tuán)隊(duì)，為你的團(tuán)隊(duì)堅(jiān)持到底。以此為目標(biāo)，超越一己私利的局限。
Be an owner.
做自己的主人。
A recent study showed that 80% of graduating seniors expect that their future employers willtrain them at their new jobs, while in reality, less than 50% will receive any such training. Gritmeans owning your own learning. If you want to learn something, don’t wait. Go after it witheverything you’ve got, and when you show someone in an interview how you did x, y and z –you’ll not only showcase your skill but your grit.
最新研究表明，80%的畢業(yè)生希望未來(lái)雇主能在他們初入職場(chǎng)的時(shí)候提供職業(yè)培訓(xùn)，但事實(shí)上，只有不足50%的畢業(yè)生才能接受崗位培訓(xùn)。堅(jiān)韌的人能自主學(xué)習(xí)。如果你有學(xué)習(xí)新知識(shí)的想法，就要立刻行動(dòng)。拼盡全力追逐目標(biāo)，在面試時(shí)向面試官展示你何如做到某件事的時(shí)候——你不但展示了技能，還有堅(jiān)韌的品格。
Throw away your entitlement.
扔掉光環(huán)。
Your IQ tells employers nothing. A school name on a diploma and GPA tell employers nothing.Throw those signifiers away, and show us who you really are. Being authentic and present inyour own skin and not relying on any name, person or score – that’s grit. That’s what we wantto see.
對(duì)雇主來(lái)說(shuō)，智商說(shuō)明不了什么，學(xué)位證書上的學(xué)校名稱說(shuō)明不了什么，考試的平均分也說(shuō)明不了什么。把這些亂七八糟的符號(hào)都丟掉，告訴我們你到底是什么樣的人。不依靠任何名字、人物或分?jǐn)?shù)的包裝，展示一個(gè)真實(shí)、自信的你——這就是堅(jiān)韌。這就是我們想要看到的。
Live life outside of your comfort zone.
走出安樂(lè)窩。
It sounds cliché, but it’s grit at its finest. Become comfortable in the uncomfortable. You won’tregret it. I talk about grit from the standpoint of a CEO. But grit is something applicableeverywhere. Grit is what makes you stand out – not just in a company or in school, but in life.At the heart of it, grit means striving for progress and never yielding in pursuit of yourpassions.
這句話看起來(lái)毫無(wú)新意，但卻是對(duì)堅(jiān)韌最好的詮釋。做到隨遇而安，你絕對(duì)不會(huì)后悔。我以CEO的身份談了我對(duì)堅(jiān)韌的看法。但堅(jiān)韌適用于所有事情。無(wú)論是在公司或是在學(xué)校，甚至在生活中，堅(jiān)韌都能讓你出類拔萃。堅(jiān)韌的含義中最為核心的一點(diǎn)是為進(jìn)步而奮斗，在追求激情的道路上決不屈服。
