新的領導者常常被誘惑去從事那些讓他們接近團隊日常運作的工作。但是現在你有了更廣泛的責任,你需要瞭解你的時間和你所承擔的任務的選擇性。
仔細評估對你的每一個請求,並詢問它是否與你的最高價值貢獻相一致。對於那些利用你的特殊才能的請求,說“是”,並安排出必要的時間和注意力。對於那些和你的優先次序不符合但很重要的項目,在你的團隊裏找出其他人來負責支持:“是的,我們可以做到這一點,但是我隊裡的老張將是主要的連絡人。”
你仍然可以諮詢、激勵和領導你的團隊的工作——但是你應該是一個潤滑劑,而不是做重擔的人。New Leaders, Be Thoughtful About What Tasks You Say Yes To
New
managers are often tempted to hold onto the work that keeps them close to their
team’s everyday operations. But now that you have a wider set of
responsibilities, you need to be discerning about your time and selective about
the tasks you take on.
Carefully
assess every demand that comes your way, and ask whether it aligns with your
highest-value contributions. To those requests that draw on your particular
talents, say yes and carve out the necessary time and attention. To those that
don’t align but are important, identify other people on your team who can take
them on: “Yes, we can do that, but Mr. Zhang
on my team will be the main contact.”
You can still consult on, motivate, and lead your team’s work — but you
should be a catalyst, not the one doing the heavy lifting.
