11、培養(yǎng)科學高效的領導力

Innovo會occasionally（不定期地）請專業(yè)的HR Expert（人力資源管理專家）或professional manager（職業(yè)經(jīng)理人）來給department managers（部門經(jīng)理）和directors（總監(jiān)們）做關(guān)于管理方面的training（培訓）。Training一般是以seminar的形式進行，內(nèi)容會根據(jù)公司的需要和要求來確定。這個周一的下午，公司就請來全球知名的consulting company（咨詢公司）的優(yōu)秀培訓師Mary給大家做關(guān)于leadership方面的training。

Mary對于Innovo的組織結(jié)構(gòu)已經(jīng)有了比較全面的了解，她按照公司的結(jié)構(gòu)特點和管理人員的特點準備了一套training program（培訓方案）。

Nancy被提拔為Marketing Department的director只有三個多月的時間，雖然她在工作的組織和員工的管理上已經(jīng)積累了一些經(jīng)驗，也有自己的approach，但專業(yè)經(jīng)理人的管理知識及理念應該會更有效，即使自己不能直接apply（應用）到工作中，至少也能給她點inspiration（啟示）吧。所以她早早地來到了meeting room，Mary正在那里調(diào)試projector（投影儀），Nancy見狀，趕緊跑過去幫忙。兩人剛聊了沒幾句，其他人也陸續(xù)進來了。Mary見人都到齊了之后，就以非常優(yōu)雅的儀態(tài)和職業(yè)的語氣開始了training：

At Innovo, we continually face challenges — the way how we view them defines us! Do we choose to see the challenges as stepping-stones or as obstacles?

If we choose to see them as obstacles, then the challenges we face will be viewed as problems — problems that need to be overcome along with all the negative connotations associated with problems. A great deal of wasted energy can be spent focusing on a negative mindset — mindsets like "I can't", "I won't", "I don't want to" and "I shouldn't have to".

We at Innovo, however, choose to see challenges as stepping-stones — opportunities that we have encountered along the way for us to use, to "step on" so that we can achieve more, develop further and ultimately actualize more of our goals!

Among the challenges that we face — let's focus on one or two main areas. How do we define Innovo's vision, staff diversity and staff development as stepping-stones not obstacles?

There is so much information out there in terms of developing a vision for Innovo — too much in fact. We need to guard against the temptation to create a vision that is too broad, too encompassing and ultimately a vision that is too generic, that it eventually says nothing. We need to be mindful of the temptation that focuses on quantity instead of quality. A plethora of information— can we use it all? The answer is "No". A new idea comes along — do we suddenly throw out the old? The answer is also "No".

So, what do we do? All the dedicated personnel at Innovo need to be committed to defining our vision. We need to draw on tried-and-tested experience and hold onto what works. We need to introduce new thinking and approaches where feasible and we need to stop what isn't working.

We need to create a vision whereby our name becomes synonymous with excellence, innovation, honor, integrity and outstanding quality and service. That's it — we need to promise less and deliver more... every time. If we keep our vision simple yet goal focused, then we will have turned defining our vision into a stepping-stone, which we will use to reach even greater heights.

The Innovo staff is fantastic... fantastic yet diverse. We have a kaleidoscope of professionals different in so many ways. Some may choose to see diversity as an obstacle — dividing rather than unifying. We see diversity as a stepping-stone. We focus on the individuals' strengths and use their strengths in a very goal-directed niche within our organization. We are so fortunate to have personnel that enhance our vision with their special talents, talents given willingly and passionately.

The stepping-stones at Innovo are here. Our results attest to this, our work ethic confirms this and our vision underpins this.

Innovo is a magical place, of which there is no doubt. But we do still face obstacles. I suppose it's a lot like a day at the beach — magical and amazing! But then there is also the sunburn, the scratchy sand in your costume, cold water, hot sand and perhaps even a stomach that may be looking decidedly less "sixpackage". We can look for the obstacles and it will spoil our day at the beach. Or we can look for the stepping-stones, and it will be magical!

Now I would like to listen to your opinions.

Nancy很是欣賞這位培訓師，她的儀表和講話的語氣都自然地流露著資深經(jīng)理人的氣質(zhì)。Nancy希望自己有一天也能像她一樣，優(yōu)雅而干練。在懷著崇拜的心情接受training時，其效果也出奇地好。Nancy把Mary所講的每個要點都記了下來，回到辦公室后又重新整理了一遍。Nancy一邊整理Mary的training program，一邊在心里琢磨，如果有一天她也去給別人做類似的培訓講座，該怎樣準備和操作呢？

她再仔細回憶了一下Mary今天training的方法，大致總結(jié)了以下幾項要點：

Get familiar with the organization and the people that you are going to train.

Make sure that your training program is tailor-made.

Inspiring your audience instead of coaching them.

Behave professionally — you yourself is the best example.
