用倒數來完成項目

對多數人來說，要將一個項目確實做完畢，可以交付，實在是很困難的挑戰。即使是一些有強烈企圖心的人，也經常會被其他項目所絆住，或是搞成拖延而無法準時做完項目，乃至於搞得團隊成員已經精疲力盡，無心要去完成項目了。

1. 是否能夠達成目標，許多時候是心態的問題，而非工作技巧的問題。如果你是想著我已經完成了多少進度，而非想著剩下多少還沒有完成，那麼，你會自然的降低你的企圖心，而非強化你的動力。
2. 如果你已經發現你正在掙扎于如何去完成一個項目中，請專注于想有多少工作必須去做。就像跑馬拉松一般，心中數著“只剩下10公里了；哈，只剩下3公里了，快跑完了，就要到終點了！”這種心態可以讓你忘掉正在發麻的雙腿，而重新回到朝氣蓬勃的狀態。
3. 這種倒數的心理，也可以讓你重新精確調整項目的安排做法，提高確實達成任務的把握度。例如，你在馬拉松賽時，跑到半程的生理狀態與接近終點的生理狀態，肯定不同，你會根據還有多少路程必須完成而來調整你的跑步節奏與呼吸。

Complete the project by reciprocal

For most people, delivering a project is really a difficult challenge. Even some strong ambition, often by other projects or to delay tripping, and unable to finish on time and made the project, the team members have been exhausted, without going to finish a project.

1. Whether you can achieve your goals or not, is often a matter of mind, not work skills. If you're thinking about how much progress I've already made, rather than thinking how much is left unfinished, then you'll naturally reduce your intent, not your motivation.
2. If you've found out how you're struggling with completing a project, focus on how much work you have to do. Just like running a marathon, there are only 10 kilometers left in mind. Ha, there are only 3 kilometers left. After running, it will be the end!" Such state of mind allows you to forget your tired legs and come back to life again.
3. Such kind of reciprocal psychology can also help you re-adjust the arrangement of the project and improve the degree of certainty. For example, when you run marathons, halfway through the physical state definitely different from the physical state of approaching the finish line. Then, you adjust your running rhythm and breathing depending on how much further distance you have to accomplish.

不要做名討巧員工的老闆

好的老闆知道如何協助他的員工從挫敗與壓力中恢復工作士氣。但是，你不需要總是去討巧員工。

犧牲你自己，只會毀掉你自己，並且留下怨憤。當你有一群虛弱而且怨憤不平的員工時，這樣的負面結果，更容易發生。

當你的團隊處於低潮，尤其是懶于改進時，你尤其要堅持要求改進，並且協助他們改進，不可以抱著姑息的態度。

Don't be a boss to please employee

A good boss knows how to help his employees to return to work morale from frustration and stress. However, you don't need to always please employees.

Sacrifice yourself, will ruin yourself and leave resentment. When there are weak and uneven resentment employees, such negative outcome more likely to occur.
When your team is at low ebb, especially when they are too lazy to improve, you especially should insist on improvement, and help them improve. You can not hold attitude of palliative.

艱困時期，如何留住明星員工？

在失業率高漲的時候，你可能會認為你的員工無從選擇而必須留在你的公司。這是一個危險的假設。當我們開始邁向復甦的時候，員工們，尤其是那些明星員工，會更評估他們可以獲得的選項。

因此，你不要等到經濟景氣情況好轉時才來考慮如何留住你的明星員工。你可以採用以下的方式：

1. 給予讚揚。這是最經濟但是又常被忽略的手段。當你的明星們做了正確的事情，謝謝他們、表揚他們。
2. 給予挑戰。讓你的頂尖人物有機會承擔新的項目，讓他們在其中鍛煉技能，並讓他們得以閃耀光輝。
3. 給予發展機會。去找出一些低成本的作法讓你的明星們深化他們的能力，例如讓他們訓練其他員工。
4. 給予非金錢激勵。多數的明星員工更在乎的是一些非物質性的激勵，並且對公司來說是很容易給予的，例如，彈性上班時間，或是更多的授權。

How to retain star employees in difficult times?

When unemployment is high, you may think that your employees have no choice but to stay in your company. This is a dangerous assumption. As we begin to move towards recovery, employees, especially those who are celebrities, will be more likely to assess the options available to them.

So don't wait until the economy improves to think about how to keep your star employees. You can do the following.

1. Give praise. This is the most economical but often overlooked means. When your stars do the right thing, thank them and praise them.
2. Challenge. Give your top people the opportunity to take on new projects, train them in them, and shine.
3. Give development opportunities. Find low-cost ways for your stars to deepen their abilities, such as training other employees.
4. Give non-monetary incentives. Most star employees care more about non-material incentives and are easy to give to companies, such as flexible working hours or more authorization.

計劃的更好，不要再延長完工期限了

項目來不及完成了，你可能會又想要將完工期限做展延。也許如此做會讓你感覺有了更多的時間，但是我們事實上很少有效的運用多出來的時間。相對的，我們會因此失去積極性，繼續拖延，最後還是無法按時完成，情況依舊。

要將工作計劃做得更好，請參考下列的作法：

1. 將項目拆成多個細部計劃。將一個大目標區分為多個小目標，並且讓它們呼應，以便可以策略性的按時完工。這樣做，可以讓團隊工作保持高度積極性，並且讓愛拖延者有更大的壓力。
2. 合理判斷每項細部計劃需要多少時間。考慮好過去完成類似的工作需要多少時間，並且評估有哪些事情可能會讓工作無法順利完成。保留一些緩衝時間來應付未能預期到的挑戰。

Plan better, don't extend the deadline

If the project is too late to complete, you may want to postpone the completion date. Maybe doing this will make you feel more time, but we rarely actually use more time. In contrast, we will lose enthusiasm and continue to delay. Finally, we can not finish it in time.

To make the work plan better, please refer to the following methods:

1. Break the project into multiple detail plans. Distinguish a large target from multiple small targets and allow them to echo, so that they can be completed strategically and on time. In doing so, team work can be highly motivated and more stressors for procrastinators.
2. Judge reasonable time for each detail plan. Consider how much time it takes to complete similar work in the past, and assess what might make it impossible for the work to be completed successfully. Keep some buffer time to deal with unexpected challenges.

保持企業內溝通暢通

溝通是維持企業運營的血脈，但是沒有一個企業不會發生溝通不良的狀況。管理者必須讓這種溝通不良的狀況降到最低。 

以下是幾個好方法：

1. 提供必要的背景資訊。要人瞭解一個資訊，有必要讓他知道為什麼這件事很重要。提供必要的資訊，讓人們知道這些事在公司的優先次序。
2. 鼓勵提問。不僅要問員工是否有問題，還要鼓勵他們提出想的到的顧慮。這種互動可以讓員工充分吸收資訊，並且可以讓他們將正確的資訊傳遞下去。
3. 保持聯繫。即使每個人都收到同樣的資訊，但是每個人反應資訊的形式差異很大。你必須對每個人都保持跟進聯繫，以便瞭解他們各人的反應，並確保你傳遞的資訊被正確理解。

Keep a smooth communication in the enterprise

Communication is the way to maintain the operation of enterprises, but no enterprise will not have bad communication. Managers must keep this communication to a minimum.

Here are a few good ways:

1. Provide the necessary background information. If you want someone to understand an information, it is necessary to let him know why it is important. Provide the necessary information to let people know the priorities of these things in the company.
2. Encourage questions. We should not only ask employees if they have any problems, but also encourage them to raise their concerns. This interaction allows employees to fully absorb information and allow them to pass on the right information.
3. Keep in touch. Even if everyone receives the same information, there is a big difference in the way people respond to information. You must keep in touch with everyone in order to understand their reactions and ensure that the information you deliver is properly understood.
