６招教你当一个SMART型领导

    在我的培训班里，当我给企业高管做培训时，我经常问他们：“你们听过SMART准则吗？”他们的回答经常是“是的。”但当我问道：“在办重要的事时，你们每次都会用到它吗？”答案往往是“不是。”当我又问“为什么”时，经常有人说：

    • 任务很简单，没必要给自己找这种麻烦。

    • 这样做花的时间太多了。

    • 他们自然应该明白这些事情。

    用托尼•罗宾斯的话说：“大多数人知道应该做什么，他们只是不做他们知道的事。”这话是不是也适用于你身上呢？

    另外，我还听说有两种“神经病”：

    •第一种：把一件事反复做了一遍又一遍，哪怕没有效果，还每次都期待着能获得不一样的结果。

    •第二种：明明知道怎样做一件事有效，偏偏不那么做。

    你喜欢哪种“神经病？”我建议你两种都要避免，并且开始使用SMART准则。如果你真想成为一位有效的领导，就必须学会做一个SMART型领导。在这个过程中，你不仅会得到团队成员的尊重，也会获得更多信心。如果你是接受要求的一方，那么你就要在不明白的时候勇敢说出来，不要不懂装懂，让领导知道你需要他为你提供什么。

    大多数人都不笨，不懒，也不是无能之辈。但是大多数人每天都在提很糟糕的要求，而且还希望别人交付他们想要的东西。这就是所谓的“1型神经病”，坚持SMART准则，这是完全可以避免的。

    祝你好运，如果你觉得它有用，请让我知道。（财富中文网）

    In my training workshops, and when I am coaching executives, I often ask people “Have you heard of the SMART standard?” The answer is most often ‘yes.’ But when I ask “Do you use it every time something important is at stake?” the answer is often ‘no.’ When I ask ‘why not?’ I hear things like:

    • It is so simple, I shouldn’t have to go to so much trouble.

    • It takes too much time.

    • They should just know these things.

    In the words of Tony Robbins, “Most people know what to do. They just don’t do what they know.” Does this apply to you?

    And, I have heard there are two Types of insanity:

    •Type 1:Doing the same thing again and again, even though it is not working, and expecting to get a different result each time.

    •Type 2:Stop doing something that you know works.

    Which kind of insanity do you prefer?I suggest you avoid both kinds and start using the SMART standard. If you really want to be an effective leader, you must start being a SMART leader. You will gain respect and you will experience much greater confidence in getting the outcomes you need. And if you are on the receiving end…it’s time to speak up when you are unclear, stop pretending, and let people know what you need to be able to deliver.

    The majority of people are not stupid, or lazy or incompetent. And, the majority of people keep on making sloppy requests day in and day out, and still expect to get what they want. That is Type 1 insanity and you can avoid it by choosing to be SMART from now on.

    Good luck and let me know how it’s working for you.
