如何适应一个有着无数创意的老板

有远见的老板可以为工作带来乐趣,但他们也可能是压倒性的,因为他们似乎有无穷无尽的想法。你怎么可能实现他们提出的一切?

首先,不要以为你的老板每次有精彩的想法都希望你能做点什么。只需听一听,简单的回答"这是一个好主意"或"我会看一看"然后等待,看它是否会再次出现。通过这种方式,你就能够判断出这个想法对你的老板是否真的很重要。

如果您是经理,上级希望您去执行一项工作,请在构思时搞清楚该工作与团队目标之间的关系,以及上级对该工作的重视程度。通过将这一构思与其他进行中的项目进行关联,您可以从战略角度帮助上级对其进行评估。

How to Manage a Boss with a Zillion Ideas


Visionary bosses can be fun to work for,but they can also be overwhelming as they seem to have an endless supply ofideas. How can you possibly implement everything they come up with? First of all, don't assume you're bossexpects you to do something every time they have a brilliant thought. It's okayto just listen and respond with a simple "That's a great idea" or "I'll take alook" and then wait to see if it comes up again. That way you'll be able totell whether the idea is actually important to your boss. If you're manager does expect you to takeaction, shape and contain the idea by asking where it fits into the team's goals and how your boss wants you to prioritize it. By connecting the idea toother ongoing projects you can help your boss assess it from a strategicperspective.
