Specifying the Capabilities that are Needed
明確所需的能力
(接上一期)
The roof will not be held up by only one pillar; we have to have another.
僅靠一根柱子是無法支撐屋頂?shù)模覀冞€需要另一根柱子。
And we’re going to call this one Capability. This pillar is understood by asking: What capabilities do we need to do the work—to solve the problem and fulfill our purpose?
我們將其稱為“能力”。這根柱子的作用可以通過問一個(gè)問題來理解:為了完成工作、解決問題并實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo),我們需要具備哪些能力?
Capability-building thus comprises the other pillar, the second pillar.
能力構(gòu)建構(gòu)成了另一根柱子,即第二根柱子。
So, with these two pillars, I now have something holding up my roof, making it look like a house.
通過這兩根柱子,我現(xiàn)在有了支撐屋頂?shù)慕Y(jié)構(gòu),使它看起來像一座房屋。

Creating the Management System
創(chuàng)建管理系統(tǒng)
But any house is only a house until it’s a home.
但任何房屋在成為家之前都只是房屋。
It becomes a home by the behavior of the people living in it. The people are inside, not outside, and so are protected and comforted by the house and the dynamic
that brings the place to life—to make it into a home.
居住在其中的人的行為使它成為一個(gè)家。人們在房屋里面受到保護(hù)并感到舒適,而不是在房屋外面。同時(shí)這種充滿活力的互動讓房屋充滿生氣,并使它成為一個(gè)家。
And there are two aspects of that we to consider.
在這個(gè)過程中,我們需要考慮兩個(gè)方面。
The first is the management system that I can define that will support the development of building capabilities to do the work to fulfill the purpose.
首先,是管理系統(tǒng),這個(gè)系統(tǒng)將支持構(gòu)建工作能力,以滿足既定的目標(biāo)。
And the second is the behaviors—soft skills—required of leaders and everyone for us to be able to work effectively within this management system (to build the capability to do the work to fulfill the purpose).
其次,我們還需要明確所有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者和員工在這個(gè)管理系統(tǒng)(即實(shí)現(xiàn)既定目標(biāo)需要構(gòu)建的作業(yè)能力)中能夠具備有效工作的能力——也就是所謂的軟技能。
So, we need to define those soft skills, those behaviors. For example, how might I respond as a leader when one of my employees or one of my team members has a problem or has
made a mistake? Do I get angry? Do I throw things? Or do I seek to understand why, so I can help remove the barriers to that employee’s success?
所以,我們需要定義這些軟技術(shù)和行為。例如,作為一名領(lǐng)導(dǎo),當(dāng)我的員工或團(tuán)隊(duì)成員遇到問題或犯錯(cuò)時(shí),我該如何應(yīng)對?是生氣、發(fā)脾氣,甚至摔東西?還是選擇去理解問題的原因,以便幫助消除阻礙員工成功的障礙?
The management system, then, is something I can define just as I define a mechanical device.
因此,管理系統(tǒng)就像我將其定義為機(jī)械裝置一樣。
Let’s say, for example, that we’ll meet every morning in a huddle at 8 o’clock. And then, we’ll meet again before lunch to see how the day has gone so far.
例如,我們可以規(guī)定每天早上8點(diǎn)舉行一次簡短的會議,然后在午餐前再開一次會,看看當(dāng)天的進(jìn)展如何。
We’ll have weekly meetings to assess and determine our plans for the week. We’ll meet monthly to see how we’re doing against our annual plan and annually to
develop a plan that will take our organization further toward achieving our defined purpose.
我們還可以每周開一次會議,評估并確定本周的工作計(jì)劃。每月召開一次會議,檢查我們在年度計(jì)劃中的進(jìn)展情況,并在每年制定一個(gè)新的計(jì)劃,以進(jìn)一步推動我們的組織實(shí)現(xiàn)既定目標(biāo)。
So the management system can be defined. The management system and the behaviors—the leader behaviors and the teamwork behaviors—of everyone are those soft skills that fit in and bring this overall system to life.
因此,管理系統(tǒng)是可以明確定義的。而管理系統(tǒng)與行為——領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的行為和團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的行為——?jiǎng)t是那些軟技能,它們?nèi)谌胂到y(tǒng)中,使整個(gè)管理系統(tǒng)充滿活力并發(fā)揮作用。
