如何從錯誤中回復?

當多數人承認失敗是難以避免的,很少人真正嘗試從錯誤中回復過來。好消息是即使是犯了很大的錯誤,如果你處理得好,就不一定會葬送你的職業生涯。下次你捅婁子後,用以下這幾招來平順的回復過來: 
  1. 坦白。嘗試隱藏或是低調一個錯誤的重要性有可能會導致你的職務發生致命危險。你應該對所犯的錯誤保持坦白與透明,擔起你該成承擔的責任的部分,盡可能不要採取防衛的態度。
  2. 做必要的改變。錯誤是很重要的學習機會。向你的老闆以及其他對相關事件興趣的人們解釋你以後將如何改變作法。
  3. 從錯誤中恢復正常。不要讓你所犯的錯誤讓你繼續在風險中。一旦度過了錯誤的風暴後,聚焦在未來的發展。
How to recover from mistakes?
When most people admit that failure is inevitable, few really try to recover from their mistakes. The good news is that even if you make a big mistake, if you handle it well, you won't necessarily ruin your career. Next time you do something wrong, use these tips to get a smooth response.
  1. Confession. Trying to hide or understate the importance of a mistake can lead to a fatal risk to your position. You should be frank and transparent about your mistakes, take on the part of your responsibilities, and try not to take a defensive attitude.
  2. Make the necessary changes. Mistakes are important learning opportunities. Explain to your boss and other people who are interested in related events how you will change your approach in the future.
  3. Recovery from mistakes. Don't let your mistakes keep you at risk. Once you've passed the wrong storm, focus on the future.

不需要充當是和氣先生

在多數的辦公場合裡,人們總是盡可能當個和氣先生,避免與人發生衝突。但是,這樣刻意地避開不同意見的對話,對爭議話題保持沉默,會創造出許多複雜性與不必要的焦慮。
你可以嘗試以下的方法來面對可能的衝突場面,轉換成建設性的對話
  1. 自我檢討。問問自己,是否經常控制不住自己多嘴的舌頭,在不恰當的場合說了不適宜的話?你自己能控制,避免發生可能的衝突嗎?
  2. 獲得回饋。請教一下身邊可信任的朋友,他們是否察覺到你可能正在陷入一場潛在的衝突情境中。他們可能可以看出有些你自己不是那麼可以清晰察覺的某些衝突症狀。
  3. 試試看。你不需要一夜之間就改變你自己。你還是可以拒絕別人,或是在一個會議場合中當場說出你的意見,然後,看看別人的反應是如何的。也許,你的對事不對人,直率的態度,反而顯示出了你的真誠。相對的,如果多數人對你有比較一致的不認同或其他評論,你也能夠較快知道該如何調整自己了。
No need to act as Mr. Harmony
In most office settings, people are always as kind as possible to avoid conflicts with others. However, such deliberate avoidance of the dialogue of different opinions and silence on controversial topics will create a lot of complexity and unnecessary anxiety.
You can try the following ways to face possible conflict situations and turn them into constructive dialogue:
  1. Self-review. Ask yourself if you often can't control your mouthful and say inappropriate words on inappropriate occasions. Can you control yourself and avoid possible conflicts?
  2. Get feedback. Ask your trusted friends if they perceive you may be in a potential conflict situation. They may be able to see some conflicting symptoms that you are not so clearly aware of.
  3. Try it. You don't need to change yourself overnight. You can still reject others, or say your opinion on the spot in a meeting, and then see how others react. Perhaps, you are not right about people, straightforward attitude, but show your sincerity. By contrast, if most people disagree with you or comment on you more consistently, you can quickly learn how to adjust yourself.

練習做完美主義者

完美主義者通常不會像他自己想象中的完美,他通常會讓他周遭的人感覺他很會浪費大家的時間。
然而,做個凡事吹毛求疵者,並非全然是不好的,他仍然能夠做出有價值的貢獻。
關鍵在於你在追求完美價值時,能夠建立起大家可以達到的標準,讓大家明白你真正關切的重點是什麼。例如,你能夠指出會構成傷害的因素有哪些。
在作為完美主義者的過程中,讓大家能夠注意到缺失,引導大家改進。

Practice being a perfectionist
A perfectionist is not always as perfect as he thinks he is. He usually makes people around him feel like he's wasting everyone's time.
However, to be a critic is not entirely bad, but he can still make a worthwhile contribution.
The key is that when you pursue perfect values, you can build standards that you can reach and let you know what your real concerns are. For example, you can point out what factors contribute to the injury.
In the process of being a perfectionist, let people notice the lack and guide them to improve.
