  • 不自信 -> 全然接纳真实的自我

    • 建立自信的前提 是我知道自己大概做到了什么程度，这时别人对我们的评价很重要
      但一旦自己有了概念，就需要从外界认可带来的自信过渡到内生的自我接纳和自信心

    • 对自己不接纳

      • 把评价自己的权利 拱手让给别人，希望通过别人的接纳来证明自己

    • 全然接纳真实的自我

      • 我当然会努力， 但努力的原因不是你告诉我满分是100分，我只有80分， 而是 因为我知道自己可以做得更好

      • 从寻求认可 到寻求支持， “我想做的事是这样，你可不可以支持我”
      • 有主见， 不依赖别人， 要自己争取
      • assertive, 有自己的东西； 有需要就一定会说出来，把他的要求说出来

    • 自信是对自己有合适，客观的看法

      • 一个人 即不把自己看得过于强大，也不把自己看得过于弱小
        • 积极面对自己，积极面对他人
        • 用正確的态度欣赏他人的优点

    • 相信自己有价值、有能力，并努力与他人建立亲密、有意义的联系，但并不认为自己高人一等

      • 而自恋者认为自己比别人优越，但自我价值感不一定很强。事实上，由于自恋者通常缺乏自我安全感，他们的自尊感几乎完全依赖于他人的认可。

being trusted

You must be trustworthy. You must also be visible. If no one knows about you, no trust will be invested in you. you establish trust by being responsive and informative to those outside your department or team. Don't pretend to know something that you don't.

沟通能力

  • 沟通之前先考虑清楚对方需要的是什么，绝对是对双方事半功倍的事情
  • 说出“你的感受” （比如你这样说我，我很伤心），而不是 去为行为找理由
    • 讲”感受“的方式 （比如赞扬同事， 你那天给我一个表现的机会，我特别开心，觉得自己是团队的一部分） （比如： 希望对方 ）
  • 打电话； 邮件约时间打电话； 不需要立刻回复／讨论的内容，发邮件

交流

  • 用心听： 用心听对方的感受和目的, 别听情绪； 通过提问让对方说出来更多的有效信息

  • 非正式交流值得任何事情去鼓励
    Everything possible should be done to encourage informal communication. More useful work is done during lunches with colleagues than during any other time.

Disagreement is a great opportunity to make a good decision. If you can support this decision even though you disagree, say so. This shows how valuable you are because you are independent and are not a yes-man, but respectful of the decision and a team player

  • A good mentor is a lot better than a book. At a minimum, you should offer to study hard so their time won't be wasted.

work

  • 主动向老板寻求反馈；主动问问上司，你的哪些工作令他们印象深刻，还有哪些方面需要改进
  • 定期要求与之会面，定期了解他对你的看法

  • 把重点放在应该完成哪些目标上， 更好地了解管理层对自己的期望，不仅涉及日常工作，还包括长期思维

  • 自己的事情主动跟进，有什么问题就跟老板说，讨论， 如果不是自己管辖范围内的事情，别人开心就好 这里最重要的是你对你提出的问题已经找到合适的解决方案。

It is our job to do the hard and discern the impossible. it then becomes your job to help the entreprenuer find a reasonable solution which is merely hard and gets most of what they wanted. A solution is merely hard when it can be confidently scheduled and the risks are understood.
