In my old age, I would like to believe that some of the things I have learned might help thosewho are now plowing the fields I once worked. So here are 10 suggestions I wish someone hadgiven me when I was 40 and beginning my run as an executive. I made the mistake of violatingmany of them but not all. 人到晚年，我相信我学到的某些东西能对那些正在我曾经工作过的领域中辛勤耕耘的人有所帮助。下面的10条建议，是我希望在我40岁开始做高管时就有人能告诉我的。我犯过的错误是，我没能全部遵循。 1. The less you confide in others in the organization, the better it will go for you. What youintend as harmless chatter can do serious harm. Keep your speculations and worries toyourself. 在公司里跟别人吐露的心事越少，对你越好。你以为是无伤大雅的闲聊，其实有可能会造成严重伤害。把你的猜测和担忧都埋在心里吧。 2. Be sure to manage down. Spend time with the lower-level employees in your company andtry to be decent to all of them. A polite greeting to the elevator operator, a thanks to the maildelivery person and a kind word to the assistants will be appreciated. The making ofreputations begins at the ground level. Similarly, keep the ugly aspects of your day to yourself.Do not shout. 务必管理好和下属的关系。花时间和公司里的较低层员工在一起，尽量对他们友好。对电梯操作员礼貌问候，对邮递员表示感谢，对助理说句友善的话，这些都会得到赞赏。打造名誉要从基层做起。同样的，碰到不爽的事情，要自己消化情绪，不要在别人面前发泄。 |
