微软元老回首职场生涯12年(4)

练习如何有说服力的表达你不同意的观点，如果你不这样做，你就会在心里暗骂与你“道不同”的人是蠢货一个。聪明人会明白为什么其他聪明的人有时会不同意。 People keep asking for executive accountability when something goes wrong.  When’s the last time you saw a line engineer take accountability – real, public accountability, the type that says, “I screwed up. This needs to go on my review.  I will make this right, or I will find another position”? 发生问题的时候，人们总是让管理人担当责任。你什么时候见过底下的工程师说过：“这是我的错，应该写在我的业绩审查里面。我会把它修好，或者辞职。” The team you want to join is the one that’s hard to get into. 你最想加入的团队就是最难进的团队。 If it seems easy getting a bunch of great reviews, you’re probably working on the wrong team. 如果你很容易就能够得到许多很好的评价，也许这说明你进入了错误的团队。 Do you practice specific skills with repetition and intent?  Athletes do drills.  Musicians hone difficult passages.  What do you do? 你还在坚持练习你的技术么？运动员天天训练，音乐家也会演练更难的曲章。你呢？ Mentees sometimes ask for the secret to my moderate career success.  They’re disappointed when I tell them that it’s partially due to hard work.  It sounds trite and preachy, like a public service announcement, like I’m commending myself for breaking a light sweat.  As if they’d be more satisfied with an answer like, “I clawed my way up to middle management through shameless brownnosing.”  My first year at Microsoft, I had a sleeping bag in my office and worked all the time.  On weekends, I still write code to learn new technologies.  I regularly read books about leadership, communication, management, and technology.  Equally smart people fare differently in their careers partly based on the amount they’re willing to put in.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. 有些新员工会问我获得职业成功的秘诀。当我告诉他们答案是“努力工作”时，他们通常会很失望。这听起来像陈腐的说教，还像是自夸。如果我的答案是“我之所以能够爬到中层管理岗位是因为我很善于给上级拍马屁”，他们也许会更满意。我来微软的第一年就带了个睡袋到办公室，而且经常加班，周末的时候，我也是在写代码，学习新技术。我会看团队管理和如何与人沟通的书籍。才智相当的人在职业生涯上会有不同的发展，主要是因为他们的付出有多有少。如果有人另有说法，那他可能是想向你“兜售”点什么。 Follow great people.  Work for great people. 跟随杰出的人，为杰出的人工作。 Above all else:  Integrity.  You must be able to trust who you work with and for.  Theodore Roosevelt once fired a rancher who stole some neighboring cattle and added them to Roosevelt’s herd.  When asked about this by incredulous friends, Roosevelt simply replied, “A man who steals for me will also steal from me.” 最重要的是：做人要诚信。你必须信任和你一起工作的人。罗斯福有一次开除了他的牧场主，因为那位牧场主偷了邻居的牛，然后把它们放到了罗斯福的牛群中。当他的朋友询问他为什么时，罗斯福回答 “为我偷东西的人，也会从我这里偷东西。” A PM once remarked of a former Microsoft VP known for being ultra-aggressive in meetings: “I’d rather have him pissing from my tent than into my tent.”  Everyone within earshot chuckled at this witty political insight.  I’d actually rather not have anybody pissing on any tents, mine or otherwise. 一位PM 曾经评价过一位在会议上很具进攻性的副总裁，“我宁可让他从我这边往别人那里喷，而不是从别人那里往我这里喷。”听到的所有人都笑了。我更希望谁也别喷谁。 Organizations which design systems … are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.–Conway’s Law (Melvin Conway) 康威定律（Conway’s Law）：“设计系统的组织，最终产生的设计等同于组织之内、之间的沟通结构。” Don’t ship the org chart.–Steven Sinofsk 永远不要发出组织的架构图。－Steven Sinofsky（史蒂文·辛诺夫斯基，微软Windows事业部主管）
