麥肯錫：在哪工作就在哪成長

by Joanna Barsh, 李宛蓉 (Translator)

任職麥肯錫超過30年的資深顧問告訴你，
對工作沒了熱情、或只能靠熱情，從徘徊到篤定，你該這麼做。

◎現在的工作就這麼做一輩子嗎？有方法能讓你找對志向！
◎主管給我的考績不好，我該憤而離職還是找機會逆轉？
◎上司要我改掉我熟悉的工作模式，他不信任我了嗎？該怎麼辦？
◎我很不喜歡搞人際關係那一套，這樣能帶人當主管嗎？
◎不必因為公司裡的討厭鬼們而辭職，有簡單方法對付。

作者喬安娜．芭爾許（Joanna Barsh）現為麥肯錫顧問公司榮譽董事，
長期協助企業應付策略、營運、組織各方面的挑戰。為了撰寫本書，
她親自訪談任職《財星》雜誌一千大企業、數百位職場上卓然有成的人。
這些職場的成功者，也曾喪失過熱情、犯過大錯、團隊不肯配合、
甚至遇到辦公室惡棍……他們怎麼在逆境中成功的？

她說：在哪工作，就在哪裡成長。
工作的癥結必須解開，否則換頭路問題依舊重來。


◎對工作喪失熱情，徘徊也是種選擇。

．對工作感到不滿，那就先想像自己五年後的模樣。
問自己：如果繼續待在原地五年甚至更久，會發生什麼事？
如果你的答案是「什麼都沒學到」，這代表你已錯過一些機會了！
但，離職之前，可能的話先做滿一年（這一年你該做的是……）。

．從徘徊到篤定，這麼做！
上班時，你充滿能量的時間占比多少？如果低於30％就該警覺！
如何找到自己的「最佳狀態」、夢想中的職位？
你可以利用六度分隔理論，就能找到幫助你的貴人。


◎犯下大錯時……

．讓事件落幕的方法，不是辭職。
犯錯時最難放下的不是錯誤本身，而是難堪與悔恨的情緒，當下該怎麼辦？
怎麼擺脫陰影？你可以準備一張教訓小抄帶在身上，藉此安慰自己。
然後呢？做好新的工作。這才能把當年的荒唐錯誤，轉變成你日後的英雄事蹟。


◎與辦公室惡棍共事──上班痛苦的根源。

．遇到勢利眼又不能得罪的人，怎麼應付？
本書提供三種自保方式，教你往後遇到混蛋不打緊，
還能利用混蛋的智慧，佛系面對一切職場霸凌！

．難搞的人，你得看出他憑哪一點自負。
即使是難搞的人，也有值得欣賞的強項，不管怎麼努力也要找出來。
再不行，就把這件事塑造成全公司的問題，讓大家一起來面對。


◎目前的工作不再有吸引力，我該轉向還是堅持？

．被喊停、遭冷凍，先找上司尋求內部調動。
新鮮感消退時，別再用換工作製造新鮮感，你相信嗎？主管會是你的助力。
怎麼釐清自己的需求、怎麼把上司拉近自己的團隊？本書都有解決辦法。

職場人會面臨的工作困境，本書都有攻略方法，
你還在猶豫著怎麼跳脫現在的工作狀態嗎？
從徘徊到篤定，你該這麼做。

I'm usually not a fan of these professional development books. They all tend to say the same things - take some risks, communicate effectively with others by considering their needs, find a mentor, don't stay in a situation that makes you sick, etc. Good advice, but not really necessary to read sixteen million times. (This is why I always say I should write one - they're simplistic in format and writing, and basically rehash the same themes every other book in the section discusses, and yet they sell like crazy.) This one is the quarterly pick for the women's business network book club at my office, so I picked it up. I have to give some credit to the author, though - she seems to realize it's skimmable re-telling of old info, and her global organization is great: bullet points, bold take-away lessons, mostly personal stories from a diverse selection of workers in different fields to exemplify the lessons, and very little of her own pointing out the obvious. For these reasons, I would recommend picking it up... if you're in the market for this sort of thing.

I tried reading this, I did, but maybe it was the ARC copy but the book is a jumble of paragraphs that have little to no flow from the last one read.
I knew that the author would be writing about various examples of different people to be able to properly showcase solutions but a lot of it seemed incoherent to me and some solutions such as "quit your job and move on" may sound cliche doesn't also work as bills don't wait for I've to find a dream job

Highly recommend for entry level through senior employees, this book helps you navigate the challenges you may face in your job and offers insight into turning the challenges into success.

[Mondana · Rating 1 out of 5]

It doesn’t flow well. It doesn’t necessarily apply to most careers and a lot of it is advice I already knew.

[Richard Perkins · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are a lot of cool first hand accounts here. It touches on basic work-related self help concepts. The text, however, is just that: basic. Other books touch on these concepts in greater detail.

Historias cortas de profesionales que ayudan a la autora a desarrollar sus ideas sobre crecimiento profesional. Un poco escueto, y sin mucho fondo.
