微軟元老回首職場生涯12年(4)

練習如何有說服力的表達你不同意的觀點，如果你不這樣做，你就會在心里暗罵與你“道不同”的人是蠢貨一個。聰明人會明白為什么其他聰明的人有時會不同意。 People keep asking for executive accountability when something goes wrong.  When’s the last time you saw a line engineer take accountability – real, public accountability, the type that says, “I screwed up. This needs to go on my review.  I will make this right, or I will find another position”? 發(fā)生問題的時候，人們總是讓管理人擔當責任。你什么時候見過底下的工程師說過：“這是我的錯，應該寫在我的業(yè)績審查里面。我會把它修好，或者辭職�！� The team you want to join is the one that’s hard to get into. 你最想加入的團隊就是最難進的團隊。 If it seems easy getting a bunch of great reviews, you’re probably working on the wrong team. 如果你很容易就能夠得到許多很好的評價，也許這說明你進入了錯誤的團隊。 Do you practice specific skills with repetition and intent?  Athletes do drills.  Musicians hone difficult passages.  What do you do? 你還在堅持練習你的技術么？運動員天天訓練，音樂家也會演練更難的曲章。你呢？ Mentees sometimes ask for the secret to my moderate career success.  They’re disappointed when I tell them that it’s partially due to hard work.  It sounds trite and preachy, like a public service announcement, like I’m commending myself for breaking a light sweat.  As if they’d be more satisfied with an answer like, “I clawed my way up to middle management through shameless brownnosing.”  My first year at Microsoft, I had a sleeping bag in my office and worked all the time.  On weekends, I still write code to learn new technologies.  I regularly read books about leadership, communication, management, and technology.  Equally smart people fare differently in their careers partly based on the amount they’re willing to put in.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. 有些新員工會問我獲得職業(yè)成功的秘訣。當我告訴他們答案是“努力工作”時，他們通常會很失望。這聽起來像陳腐的說教，還像是自夸。如果我的答案是“我之所以能夠爬到中層管理崗位是因為我很善于給上級拍馬屁”，他們也許會更滿意。我來微軟的第一年就帶了個睡袋到辦公室，而且經常加班，周末的時候，我也是在寫代碼，學習新技術。我會看團隊管理和如何與人溝通的書籍。才智相當的人在職業(yè)生涯上會有不同的發(fā)展，主要是因為他們的付出有多有少。如果有人另有說法，那他可能是想向你“兜售”點什么。 Follow great people.  Work for great people. 跟隨杰出的人，為杰出的人工作。 Above all else:  Integrity.  You must be able to trust who you work with and for.  Theodore Roosevelt once fired a rancher who stole some neighboring cattle and added them to Roosevelt’s herd.  When asked about this by incredulous friends, Roosevelt simply replied, “A man who steals for me will also steal from me.” 最重要的是：做人要誠信。你必須信任和你一起工作的人。羅斯福有一次開除了他的牧場主，因為那位牧場主偷了鄰居的牛，然后把它們放到了羅斯福的牛群中。當他的朋友詢問他為什么時，羅斯福回答 “為我偷東西的人，也會從我這里偷東西�！� A PM once remarked of a former Microsoft VP known for being ultra-aggressive in meetings: “I’d rather have him pissing from my tent than into my tent.”  Everyone within earshot chuckled at this witty political insight.  I’d actually rather not have anybody pissing on any tents, mine or otherwise. 一位PM 曾經評價過一位在會議上很具進攻性的副總裁，“我寧可讓他從我這邊往別人那里噴，而不是從別人那里往我這里噴�！甭牭降乃�有人都笑了。我更希望誰也別噴誰。 Organizations which design systems … are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.–Conway’s Law (Melvin Conway) 康威定律（Conway’s Law）：“設計系統(tǒng)的組織，最終產生的設計等同于組織之內、之間的溝通結構�！� Don’t ship the org chart.–Steven Sinofsk 永遠不要發(fā)出組織的架構圖。－Steven Sinofsky（史蒂文·辛諾夫斯基，微軟Windows事業(yè)部主管）
