以分享自己的成長來鼓勵員工學習

作為一名經理,你的工作是確保團隊中的每個人都不斷學習。但是,除了鼓勵人們上課、參加會議之外,你還可以如何做
一個好的起點是談論你自己的發展。當管理者公開他們的個人成長發展的故事時,其他人也變得更加可以接受。
問自己這些問題,並與你的團隊分享答案:“我最需要在哪些領域成長?我發現在實現這些目標方面有什麼幫助?當你從研討會或培訓回來時,不要求助於典型的“它很有趣”之類的總結——要具體。
例如,你可能會說,“我以為我是一個很好的聽眾,但現在我可以看到這是我成長的一個領域。”這次培訓給我展示了與他人互動的新方法,雖然它們對我來說並不一定舒服,但我還是要試一試。”

Encourage Employees to Learn by Sharing Your Own Growth
As a manager, it’s your job to make sure everyone on your team keeps learning. But beyond encouraging people to take classes and go to conferences, how do you do it?
A good starting point is to talk about your own development. When managers open up about their personal areas for improvement, it becomes more acceptable for everyone else to do the same.
Ask yourself these questions, and share the answers with your team: “What areas do I need to grow the most in? What insights have I found helpful in accomplishing these goals?” And when you come back from a workshop or training, don’t resort to the typical “It was interesting” summary — be specific.
For example, you might say, “I thought I was a good listener, but now I can see that this is a growth area for me. The training showed me new ways to interact with others, and although they aren’t necessarily comfortable for me, I’m going to try them out.”

學習一些新事情來減輕一些壓力

許多人通過向壓垮、強行通過來處理工作壓力。但這並不是真正緩解焦慮的好方法。取而代之的是,試著把緊張的環境重新定義為學習的機會。學習一些新的東西可以新增你的技能和知識,並幫助你培養能力感和成長感,這可以減輕壓力感。
你也可以和別人一起學習。例如,不要僅僅在頭腦中與挑戰搏鬥,而是從同事那裡得到意見。與他們討論一個有壓力的情况可以揭示出隱藏的洞察力,無論是從他們的背景還是從他們將提供的問題和角度。不要把學習看成是一個額外的工作層面,把它看成是完成任務所付出的辛勞。
框架學習作為一種喘息的形式,可以使它更吸引人,更有可能創造積極、愉快的體驗。

Learn Something New to Relieve Some Stress
Many people handle work stress by buckling down and powering through. But that’s not a great way to actually relieve your anxiety. Instead, try reframing the stressful situation as a learning opportunity. Learning something new adds to your skill set and knowledge, and helps you develop feelings of competency and growth, which can alleviate feelings of stress.
You can also learn with others. For example, rather than just wrestling with a challenge in your head, get input from colleagues. Discussing a stressful situation with them can reveal hidden insights, either from their backgrounds or from the questions and perspectives they’ll offer. And don’t think of learning as an additional layer of work; think of it as a break from the hard work of getting the task done.
Framing learning as a form of respite can make it more appealing and more likely to create a positive, enjoyable experience.
