As a society, we're obsessed with achievement. But what happens once you're considered objectively successful, with a great salary and a job that energizes you? It's easy to rest on your accomplishments and your way of getting work done, perhaps even feeling there's not much left to learn. 在这个社会上,我们都热切渴望取得成就。但是,一旦你被认为是真正取得了成功,拥有高薪和让你活力四射的工作,接下来会发生什么呢?你可能很容易满足于你取得的成绩和你完成工作的方式,甚至感觉没有多少东西需要学习了。 But in this economy, you can't afford to sit back -- even though it might be tempting. 但在当今的经济环境下,你不能停下脚步休息片刻,尽管它充满了诱惑。 'Successful people fall into the trap of thinking they don't need to change anything because their behavior is working for them,' says Marshall Goldsmith, author of 'What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful.' 'Every time they get promoted...they get positive reinforcement even when certain skills are lacking.' 《今天不必以往:成功人士如何获得更大成功》(What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful)的作者戈德史密斯(Marshall Goldsmith)说,成功者往往会跌入一个陷阱,认为他们不需改变任何事情了,因为他们的办事方式行之有效。即便是他们缺乏某些技能,每当他们得到提拔时,他们就会得到正强化。 |
