适应职场新节奏 / A Message from Bian: Coping with the New Pace (6th Article of Career Development) 欢迎回来，希望大家都在春节假期里得到了充分休息，精神焕然一新。在我们即将迎来各种运营挑战之海量细节或是即将开始的业绩评估和职业发展对话之际，我想分享几个近期职场的热点话题，如1）“感觉去年做得更多，但绩效评估或薪资涨幅却没有预期好”；2）“感觉工作量加大了，但老板还要我做得更多”；3）“要么奋发，要么就落后，紧迫感越发强烈”。这些都是好问题，能问出这些问题说明大家在思考，在成熟，在进步。在这里，我想就这些热点话题分享我的意见暨如何有效地适应工作的新节奏，并推进职业发展呢？这是我关于职场发展的第六篇文章；如果你错过了我之前的五篇文章，它们分别是《职业发展中的热情、坚持和耐心》、《细节铸就辉煌》、《专注本职，时半功倍，放飞梦想》、《梅花香自苦寒来》和《职场蜕变三步曲》。 开车上班的同事也许已经注意到，自去年年底，成都市政府已经将某些街道的限速从60公里/时提高到了80公里/时，但我却花了蛮长的时间来适应新的限速规定，时不时地，我会被路上60公里/时的过时限速标记干扰。同样地，在英特尔成都的“征程“中，我也观察到类似的“不适应”现象。一部分员工仍然抱着过时的老观念不放手：“英特尔成都是个年轻公司，仍有犯错误和低效率的借口”，不知不觉中滋生了容忍错误和做事低效的思维模式。新年伊始，我特别想指出：英特尔成都已然成熟，正以快节奏和高效率的工作模式向前飞奔，我们每一位英特尔成都员工都要尽快适应工作的新节奏，并以变化和创新求更上一层楼。 那么，一个成熟的公司到底意味着什么呢？ 这意味着：一）英特尔文化/价值观已深深植根于员工的心里，一些典型的要素如安全，质量，道德准则等已成为我们言行的基准；二）结构化的工作系统，流程和规范，来确保更高和更快的决策效率；三）大量的团队协作，激发多元化的思维火花；四）稳定并一致的绩效管理和薪酬体系，以绩效为核心，不盲目地以市场平均作薪资的调整；最后，五）在运营结果上永远是言出必行，力争更高境界的卓越运营。那么，落实到每一位英特尔成都员工，这又意味着什么呢？英特尔成都公司已经到达了一个新的成熟境界，在大道上提速飞奔。年轻再也不能成为我们犯错误或低效率的借口。我们要调整思维模式，适应新的工作节奏：事（时）半功倍，以智代蛮地聪明工作，借力每个机会、每个努力来提升我们的能力。 相应地，一个成熟的公司更珍视什么样的行为呢？ 在细心观察并对比了几个成熟公司的员工行为模式后，我小做以下总结：1）不断提高对自己，同事和下属（如果有 ）的期望和要求，不进则退；2）不断在工作中，特别是在日常运营中，制定更高的目标；3）为实现突破，不断追求变化和创新，勇担风险。当然，4）为不断追求更快的速度和更高的效率，唯有凭借我们独有的新生代激情来应对新节奏和新挑战。如果我们能多多实践以上的行为，我相信，我们的“新生代，芯梦想和新征程”将为我们英特尔成都点燃一个辉煌的2015年。祝羊年快乐！ 谢谢阅读。 Welcome back! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the nice break and is recharged
fully. Before we all get our minds full with business and operational details
as well as having focal conversations for career development, I would like to
share a few thoughts around those frequently asked questions: 1). “It feels
like I did more last year, but I didn’t get more pay increase or better focal
messages;” 2). “It feels like the workload is higher, but my manager wants me
to do more”; 3). “It feels like I cannot relax at my work, or else I will be behind.”
Well, those are good questions, and I would like to complement those employees
who asked those questions as you have grown in your maturity and sensed your
pace of development. In this message, I would share my opinions on how one can
cope with the new pace at work and thus advance one’s career. This is the sixth
article related to career development; if you’ve missed my previous five
articles, you can still find them below: “Passion, Persistence, and Patience in Career Development”, “Details Make a Difference”, “Stay Focused, Do More w/ Less, and Continue
to Dream”, “Practice Makes a Difference” and ”3 Stages of Transformation in Career
Development”. Those who drive to work might have noticed that the city
government lifted speed limit of several streets from 60KM/H to 80KM/H late
last year, but it took me quite a while to cope with the new speed limit on
those streets as I was so used to the old limit that I was often toggled back
by the old 60KM/H road marks. Similar phenomenon is being observed at Intel Chengdu
site: many employees continue staying in a paradigm of “Chengdu is a new and
young site” and unconsciously excuse themselves from mistakes and inefficiency
occurring at work; therefore, I purposely write this message to make a declaration:
Intel Chengdu is a mature site, which is operating at a fast pace and high
efficiency; and every Chengdu employee should cope with the new pace of work as
well as the norm of constant changes striving for better. What does a mature site mean to us? A few things: a). a mature Intel
site has Intel culture/values rooted in employee minds, and typical things like
safety, quality, and ethics are already included in the baseline of everything
we do; b). a mature Intel site has structured work systems, processes, and guidelines
that are intended for higher efficiency and a faster pace of decision making;
c). a mature Intel site has massive teamwork and collaboration that facilitate
diversified opinions and ideas; d). a mature Intel site has a stable and consistent
performance management and C&B system that are more meritocratic (pay for
performance) vs. a pure and passive market driven pay adjustment; and lastly,
e). a mature Intel site delivers predictable results and always strives for the
next level of excellence. So now, what does this mean to every
individual? The site has been uplifted to a new maturity level just like those
streets with new speed limits, so we have to change our paradigm to cope with
the new pace at work: to do more with less, work smarter, and advance our
competency in every effort; as we don’t have any excuses as a young site. What types of behaviors then are expected for employees at a
mature Intel site? Many observations are made across several mature sites, and
some behaviors are more appreciated: 1). Continuously raising the bar of
expectations on ourselves, peers, and subordinators (if any). 2). Setting more
aggressive or higher goals in everything we do, particularly in our daily operations.
3). Taking risks to make changes and drive innovations for breakthrough
results; and of course, 4). coping with the new pace and challenges with our
unique Gen-Y passion for better velocity and efficiency. If we all exercise behaviors
above more, our new generation, new dream, and new journey will fuel a wonderful
year of 2015. Happy New Year of the Goat! |
