管理「水杯」
在過去的幾個月中，我面試了許多擁有豐富技術背景的管理人才。這些人因為工作表現出色，逐漸晉升為小組主管或經理。 兩大關鍵面試問題 面試過程中，我經常會在確認面試者的技術能力之後，進一步探討他們的領導風格。我最常問的問題是：「你在管理人員時最害怕什麼？」經常收到的回答是：「害怕遇到不主動回報進度的人。」 接著，我會延伸這個問題，進一步詢問：「那麼你通常如何處理這種情況？」 面試者的回答通常可以分為三種類型： 高效管理方法 1. 空杯策略 當我不熟悉團隊成員的能力和個性時，我會採用「空杯」的心態，逐步評估和信任他們。每當他們成功交付工作，證明自己是值得信賴的，我會在這個「空杯」中加入「水」，即增加對他們的信任和責任。 這個過程也會是我和團隊之間的磨合階段。 讓彼此對彼此的溝通方式、產出預期水平、習慣和底線有更好的理解。 2. 快速驗證 作為一名專業的管理人員，快速驗證工作產出是非常重要的。例如，一個為期兩週的項目可以被分成多個檢驗點，每個檢驗點都應該有明確的實際產出。 在某些特定情況下，尤其是面對經驗豐富的員工，我會選擇用「滿杯」的策略，即一開始就給予高度的信任和責任。 這個前提假設是是對方的能力到位， 經驗足夠，也可以快速的進入狀況和理解需求。 一段關係只要有了信任，可以讓許多的細節快轉、讓各個齒輪呢喃著共鳴的節奏， 讓一切可以加速進行。 潛在弊端 這個方法需要預先進行充分的溝通。若是對方缺乏相關經驗或者心理準備不足，則可能會產生不良影響。 總之，儘管這個方法有其局限性，但在大多數情況下，它能幫助我們實現「小步快跑，快速驗證」的目標。
