專注在當下可實現的,而非遠大的

要激勵員工,好的老闆常會設定大膽的目標,例如要求在5年內將收入翻一倍, 降低企業的碳足跡, 打入三個大客戶,等等。

但是，一旦設定了這樣的目標，不要只專注在這些目標上，相反的，你應該著手讓你的員工從現在開始就具備未來實現這些大目標的能力。如果你只是鎮日談那些遠大的目標，你的員工會陷入驚慌而不知所措。 

你可以將那些遠大的的目標拆解成一步步可以實現的階段任務，並要求你的員工負責的逐步實現。這樣可以讓你的員工建立起信心，並產生激勵的動機，平靜地向實現大目標邁進。

Focus on what is available now, not far away

To motivate employees, good bosses often set bold goals, such as doubling revenue in five years, reducing the carbon footprint of the business, hitting three big customers, and so on.

But once you set these goals, don't just focus on them. Instead, you should start to empower your employees to achieve them in the future from now on. If you are just talking about the lofty goals in town, your employees will panic and be overwhelmed.

You can break those ambitious goals down into phased tasks that can be achieved step by step, and ask your employees to be responsible for achieving them step by step. This allows your employees to build confidence and motivate them to move calmly toward their goals.
