新的領導者，要動得比你想像的慢

當你開始領導角色時，有壓力去證明你自己，通過快速起步，及早贏得勝利。但是，如果人們感覺到你在做出改變，而沒有經過思考，或者沒有得到他們的意見，你就不可能成功。這就是為什麼你需要放慢速度，尤其是在你的互動中。

與新同事交談時，重複你所聽到的，既要證實你的理解，又要證明你在聽。問小組反思性的問題，比如：“剛才發生了什麼？”“和”我們從中可以學到什麼？這些問題迫使停頓，防止討論匆忙作出决定。不要害怕使用沉默。

在你說話之前停下來讓你有機會權衡替代方案並决定最好的應對管道。它還促使其他人想知道你的想法，這可能會促使他們創造性地思考。

New Leaders, Move Slower Than You Think You Should

When you start a leadership role, there’s pressure to prove yourself by getting off to a quick start and delivering early wins. But if people sense that you’re making a change without thinking it through — or getting their input — you’re unlikely to be successful. That’s why you need to slow down, especially in your interactions.

When talking with new colleagues, repeat what you hear, both to confirm your understanding and to demonstrate that you’re listening. Ask the group reflective questions such as, “What just happened here?” and “What could we learn from that?” These questions force a pause, preventing a discussion from rushing to a decision. And don’t be afraid to use silence.

Pausing before you speak gives you a chance to weigh alternatives and decide on the best way to respond. It also pushes others to wonder what’s going through your mind, which may cause them to think more creatively.
