【正文】 ”她轉(zhuǎn)入一個(gè)陌生領(lǐng)域，從。找工作總是關(guān)于找工作者本人，但她的想法令人感動(dòng)。一天她打電話對(duì)我說：“我想到Facebook工作，我本想陳述 下我的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)，但我知道現(xiàn)在很多人會(huì)給你打電話這樣做，因此我現(xiàn)在想知道你的最大問題是什么，我如何幫你解決。當(dāng)時(shí)人們問我為何為一個(gè)23歲的年輕人工作？之前人們認(rèn)為職場(chǎng)道路應(yīng)是梯狀的，但在如今更為平等的世界里情況早已不同?！?六年半后當(dāng)我離開谷歌時(shí)我仍然將那個(gè)建議銘記于心。之后他告訴我：“登上一艘火箭，當(dāng)公司快速發(fā)展時(shí)，它的影響力在變大，你的事業(yè)自會(huì)開啟；當(dāng)公司發(fā)展緩慢或沒什么影響力時(shí)，停滯和辦公室政治隨之而來。所以我和谷歌當(dāng)時(shí)剛上任的首席執(zhí)行官見了面，告訴他這一職位與我列表上的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)毫不相符，他推開表格對(duì)我說：“別傻了。我認(rèn)為這一工作會(huì)讓我無所事事；谷歌當(dāng)時(shí)沒有業(yè)務(wù)部，我要去那管理什么。單上列出的工作之一是谷歌的首位業(yè)務(wù)部總經(jīng)理。”之后有一些職位向我伸出橄欖枝，這時(shí)我要抉擇自己到底要做什么。泡沫破裂了，小公司倒閉了，大公司在裁員。在2001年，辭掉了政府的工作后，我來到硅谷找工作。這一切的發(fā)展速度是我當(dāng)年畢業(yè)時(shí)難以想見的。這摧毀了傳統(tǒng)的權(quán)利結(jié)構(gòu)，消除了傳統(tǒng)的等級(jí)制度。但今天情況迥然不同。在以前若想一天中與更多人晤面，那么這個(gè)人要富有，有名且有權(quán)勢(shì)。當(dāng)時(shí)網(wǎng)上還不可以90人同時(shí)聊天。）我們要分發(fā)出去一張張列有網(wǎng)名的名單，因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)沒人會(huì)在網(wǎng)上用真名。我們需要一個(gè)AOL聊天室和撥號(hào)服務(wù)。似乎我畢業(yè)時(shí)間不算太久，但世界已今非昔比。本月初我們網(wǎng)站正式啟用器官捐獻(xiàn)工具，這一想法源于蘭根教授。我喜歡和年輕人在一起，但有些時(shí)候他們也令我尷尬，比如他們會(huì)問：“念大學(xué)時(shí)不能上網(wǎng)是什么滋味？”或者“雪莉，你過來一下，你認(rèn)為老人會(huì)怎么看待這個(gè)功能？” 當(dāng)我17年前在這學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)，蘭根教授教授社會(huì)營(yíng)銷。但無論如何今天對(duì)你們而言是一個(gè)值得紀(jì)念且富有意義的日子。IT‘S A JUNGLE GYM The traditional metaphor for careers is a ladder, but I no longer think that metaphor just doesn‘t make sense in a less hierarchical I was first at Facebook, a woman named Lori Goler, a 1997 graduate of HBS, was working in marketing at eBay and I knew her a bit called me and said, ―I want to talk with you about ing to work with you at I thought about calling you and telling you all the things I‘m good at and all the things I like to I figured that everyone is doing instead I want to know what‘s your biggest problem and how can I solve it?‖My jaw hit the ‘d hired thousands of people up to that point in my career, but no one had ever said anything like had never said anything like searches are always about the job searcher, but not in Lori‘s said, ―You‘re biggest problem is recruiting and you can solve it.‖ So Lori changed fields into something she never thought she‘d do, went down a level to start in a new has since been promoted and runs all of People Operations at Facebook and is doing an extraordinary has a great metaphor for says they‘re not a ladder, they‘re a jungle FOR GROWTH, IMPACT AND SIDEWAYS, DOWN, ON AND OFF As you start your postHBS career, look for opportunities, look for growth, look for impact, look for sideways, move down, move on, move your skills, not your what you can do, not the title they‘re going to give real a sales quota, a line role, an ops ‘t plan too much, and don‘t expect a direct I had mapped out my career when I was sitting where you are, I would have missed my are entering a different business world than I was just starting to get is was is way more moved quickly, yours moves even more traditional structures are breaking down, leadership has to evolve as well – from hierarchy to shared responsibility, from mand and control to listening and ‘ve been trained by this great institution not just to be part of these trends, but to you lead in this new world, you will not be able to rely on who you are or the degree you ‘ll have to rely on what you strength will not e from your place on some org chart, but from building trust and earning ‘re going to need talent, skill, and imagination and more than anything else, you‘re going to need the ability to municate authentically, to speak so that you inspire the people around you and to listen so that you continue to learn each and every day on the job.?MOMMY, WHAT IS GROWING IN YOUR BUTT?‘If you watch young children, you‘ll immediately notice how honest they friend Betsy from my section a few years after business school was pregnant with her second first child was about five and said, ―Mommy, where is the baby?‖ She said, ―The baby is in my tummy.‖ He said, ?Aren‘t the baby‘s arms in your arms?‖ She said, ―No, the baby‘s in my tummy.‖ ―Are the baby‘s legs in your legs?‖ ―No, the whole baby is in my tummy.‖ Then he said, ?Then Mommy, what is growing in your butt?‖As adults, we are never this that‘s not a bad have borne two children and the last thing I needed were those it‘s not always a good thing all of us, and especially leaders, need to speak and hear the workplace is an especially difficult place for anyone to tell the truth, because no matter how flat we want our organizations to be, all organizations have some form of means that one person‘s performance is assessed by someone else‘s is not a setup for about how people speak in a typical than say, ―I disagree with our expansion strategy‖ or better yet, ―this seems truly stupid.‖ They say, ―I think there are many good reasons why we‘re entering this new line of business, and I‘m certain the management team has done a thorough ROI analysis, but I‘m not sure we have fully considered the downstream effects of taking this step forward at this time.‖ As we would say at Facebook, three letters: WTF.?TRUTH IS BETTER USED BY USING SIMPLE LANGUAGE‘Truth is better used by using simple year, Mark decided to learn Chinese and as part of studying, he would spend an hour or so each week with some of our employees who were native Chinese day, one of them was trying to tell him something about her said this long sentence and he said, ―simpler please.‖ And then she said it again and he said, ―no, I still don‘t understand, simpler please‖…and so on and so , in sheer exasperation, she burst out, ―my manager is bad.‖ Simple and clear and very important for him to rarely speak this clearly in the workforce or in as you get more senior, not only will people speak less clearly to you but they will overreact to the small things you I joined Facebook, one of the things I had to do was build the business side of the pany and put some systems into I wanted to do it without destroying the culture that made Facebook one of the things I tried to do was encourage people not to do formal PowerPoint presentations for meetings with would say things like, ―Don‘t do PowerPoint presentations for meetings with , e in with a list of what you want to discuss.‖ But everyone ignored me and they kept doing their presentations meeting after meeting, month after about two years in, I said, ―OK, I hate rules but I have a rule: no more PowerPoint in m
