當你剛赴任新職，通常會興致勃勃的想要列出一串在第一年就要達成目標的偉大計劃項目。但是，請你謹慎去做出任何艱難的承諾，你最好提出較低的承諾，然後做出超越計劃的成果。
在你初任新職時，你不會一開始就弄清楚有哪些未可預見的障礙，例如組織可能忌憚于做出改變。你最好先與你的老闆以及利害相關的人談談，設定出比較可行的期望值。如果你最後交出超越期望的成果，他們會因而感到高興。
但是，如果你承諾過多，而未能交出預期成果，那樣會傷害到你的信用度。即使你最後可以完成一大堆項目，但是最好不要一開始就列在你的計劃清單上，那樣做很可能會提高別人認為你會失敗的風險。
Don't make excessive promises when you're NEW
When you start a new job, you are usually enthusiastic about listing a list of great projects that will achieve your goals in the first year. However, please be careful to make any difficult commitments. You'd better make lower commitments and then make outcomes beyond the plan.
When you start a new job, you don't start by identifying unforeseen obstacles, such as organizations that may be afraid of making changes. You'd better talk to your boss and stakeholders first and set realistic expectations. If you end up delivering results that exceed expectations, they will be happy.
But if you promise too much and fail to deliver the expected results, that will hurt your credibility. Even if you can finish a lot of projects in the end, it's better not to list them on your schedule at the beginning, which may increase the risk that others think you will fail.
