2021年:Amazon最新的领导力原则(16条)

大约10多天前,Amazon发布了自己今年最新版的“领导力原则”,这里我翻译一下,以飨读者。

虽然这个文档中没有说谁是领导,但看下来就知道:领导指的是各层级的干部,只要你手下有团队,你就是领导。

我个人认为,即便你在单位不是领导,你读一下也是好的,因为你可能在家里是领导。

即便你在家里也不是领导,至少你还是要领导自己的。

如果你觉得读中文翻译还是费劲,你读读里面的“人话说”,那要轻松不少的。

本文的排版结构是这样的:先是中文翻译,然后是原文,然后是我的“人话说”,方便直观理解。最后是我整理的一个总结和简化。

现在开始:

Amazon领导力原则

我们有责任通过自己每天的行动,来展现我们的领导力原则。我们的领导原则描述了亚马逊是如何做业务、如何领导、以及如何保持让客户成为我们决策的中心。我们独特的亚马逊文化,都描述在这些领导力原则中,帮助我们追求不懈的使命:我们要成为地球上最“以客户为中心”的公司,最好的雇主,和最安全的工作场所。

Leadership Principles 

We hold ourselves and each other accountable for demonstrating the Leadership Principles through our actions every day. Our Leadership Principles describe how Amazon does business, how leaders lead, and how we keep the customer at the center of our decisions. Our unique Amazon culture, described by our Leadership Principles, helps us relentlessly pursue our mission of being Earth’s most customer-centric company, best employer, and safest place to work.

人话说:我们是最牛的,我们的文化都在以下16条中描述,我们有责任践行它,证明它,我们要成为地球上最“以客户为中心”的公司,最好的雇主、最安全的工作场所。

1. 痴迷于客户

领导者从客户开始,反推要做的事。他们积极工作以赢得并保持客户的信任。尽管领导者关注竞争对手,但他们痴迷于客户。

1. Customer Obsession 

Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers.

人话说:领导满脑子都是客户,领导所做的一切都是为了获得客户的信任。

2. owner意识

领导者都是owner。他们考虑长远,不会为了短期结果而牺牲长期价值。他们的行为代表整个公司,不仅仅是他们自己的团队。他们从不说”那不是我的工作”。

2. Ownership 

Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. They never say “that’s not my job.”

人话说:领导考虑长远利益。领导从公司利益出发,而不是从团队出发。

3. 发明、简化

领导者期望并要求他们的团队进行创新和发明,并且总是寻求简化。他们了解外部世界,能从外部寻找灵感,而不受“非我族类”的限制。当我们做开创性工作时,我们明白我们可能会被长期误解。

3. Invent and Simplify 

Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify. They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by “not invented here.” As we do new things, we accept that we may be misunderstood for long periods of time.

人话说:领导者要求团队不断发明、不断简化。领导头脑开放,兼容并包。领导不怕外人误解。

4. 领导是对的

领导往往是对的,他们有强烈的判断力和良好的直觉。他们寻求不同的观点,并努力推翻自己的信仰。

4. Are Right, A Lot 

Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs.

人话说:领导英明,领导会自我革新。

5. 学习并保持好奇

领导者永远不会停止学习,他们总是设法提高自己。他们对新的可能性充满好奇,并去探索它们。

5. Learn and Be Curious 

Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves. They are curious about new possibilities and act to explore them.

人话说:领导的好奇心都很强,领导爱学习、爱探索。

6. 雇佣并培养最优秀的人

领导者通过每一次雇佣和晋升来提高绩效标准。他们识别杰出的人才,并乐意让他们在组织中调动。领导者培养领导者,并认真履行他们的指导角色。我们代表我们的员工努力创造诸如Career Choice之类的发展机制。

6. Hire and Develop the Best 

Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion. They recognize exceptional talent, and willingly move them throughout the organization. Leaders develop leaders and take seriously their role in coaching others. We work on behalf of our people to invent mechanisms for development like Career Choice.

人话说:领导识别人、培养人、指导人、成就人。

亚马逊的Career Choice为员工提供未来十四大行业相关的培训,让员工可以在富有前景的领域寻找他们的新工作,足足有超过25,000人正在接受这一项目的培训,亚马逊承担培训项目95%的开支。亚马逊在其Career Choice网站上写道:“亚马逊认为每人都有权学习新技能并开启他们新的职业,不管是在亚马逊,还是其他地方。”

7. 坚持最高标准

领导者有无情的高标准—以至于有人可能认为这些标准高得不合理。领导者不断提高标准并推动他们的团队提供高质量的产品、服务和流程。领导者确保缺陷不会上线,问题一旦解决,就不让它再次发生。

7. Insist on the Highest Standards 

Leaders have relentlessly high standards— many people may think these standards are unreasonably high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and drive their teams to deliver high quality products, services and processes. Leaders ensure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.

人话说:领导要求严,团队和产品才会好。领导要确保缺陷归零、问题解决。

8. 要敢想

“不敢想”就会造成自证预言。领导者能创造并传达一个能激发结果的大胆方向。他们以不同方式思考,不放过任何可能,寻找服务客户的方法。

8. Think Big 

Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results. They think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers.

人话说:领导是敢想的,他们能提出大方向和激动人心的期望,他们有思想。

自证预言(self-fulfilling prophecy)是一种在心理学上常见的现象,意指人按自己的预言来行事,最终令预言发生;也指对他人的期望会影响其行为,结果使其果真实现了预期。比如:如果你认为某事不可能,你就不去做,结果此事就真的不可能。再如教师对学生的殷切希望能戏剧性地收到预期效果。(此即“罗森塔尔效应”,亦称“皮格马利翁效应”)。

1968年的一天,美国心理学家罗森塔尔和L.雅各布森来到一所小学,说要进行7项实验。他们从一至六年级各选了3个班,对这18个班的学生进行了“未来发展趋势测验”。之后,罗森塔尔以赞许的口吻将一份“最有发展前途者”的名单交给了校长和相关老师,并叮嘱他们务必要保密,以免影响实验的正确性。其实,罗森塔尔撒了一个“权威性谎言”,因为名单上的学生是随便挑选出来的。8个月后,罗森塔尔和助手们对那18个班级的学生进行复试,结果奇迹出现了:凡是上了名单的学生,个个成绩有了较大的进步,且性格活泼开朗,自信心强,求知欲旺盛,更乐于和别人打交道。

9. 坐而思不如起而行

速度很重要。许多决定和行动是可逆的,不需那么深入的研究。我们提倡风险可控的冒险。

9. Bias for Action 

Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking.

人话说:要快,不要想太多,多大的事。

10. 节俭

力争事半功倍。资源有限给我们带来更多想法、发明和自力更生。以更多员工、预算、支出来办事,都不是加分项。

10. Frugality 

Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size or fixed expense.

人话说:以少成多才是本事。

11. 赢得信任

领导者倾听认真,说话坦率,尊重他人。他们自我批评并说出来,即便笨拙或尴尬。领导者不相信他们或其团队闻起来是香香的,他们用最好的标准来衡量自己和团队。

11. Earn Trust 

Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. They are vocally self-critical, even when doing so is awkward or embarrassing. Leaders do not believe their or their team’s body odor smells of perfume. They benchmark themselves and their teams against the best.

人话说:领导坦诚、不虚伪。领导不自大,领导承认自己的缺点。

12. 深入细节

领导者在各个层面都有所行动,他关注细节,常常检查,在数据和传闻不一致时,他会警觉。没有什么工作是他们不了解的。

12. Dive Deep
 
Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit frequently, and are skeptical when metrics and anecdote differ. No task is beneath them.

人话说:领导明察秋毫。

13. 有骨气; 敢于异议但服从决定

领导者在不同意某项决策的时候,他们觉得有义务善意提出异议,即使这样做令人不悦或疲惫。领导者有信念,也很执着。他们不会为了一团和气而妥协。一旦决定下来,他们会全力以赴。

13. Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit
 
Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.

人话说:领导有骨气,敢于直言,服从决定。

14. 交付!

领导关注业务的关键条件,并按时按质交付。尽管遭遇挫折,他们还是应势而为,不言放弃。

14. Deliver Results 

Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle.

人话说:领导克服困难,使命必达。

15. 努力成为全球最佳雇主

领导者每天都在努力创造一个更安全、更有生产力、更高绩效、更多样化、更公正的工作环境。他们带着同理心领导他人,他们享受工作的乐趣,并使他人也容易享受到乐趣。领导者问自己: 我的同事们在成长吗?他们被赋能了吗?他们准备好迎接下一步了吗?领导者对员工的个人进步有设想并予以帮助,无论这个进步是在亚马逊还是在别处。

15. Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer 

Leaders work every day to create a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment. They lead with empathy, have fun at work, and make it easy for others to have fun. Leaders ask themselves: Are my fellow employees growing? Are they empowered? Are they ready for what’s next? Leaders have a vision for and commitment to their employees’ personal success, whether that be at Amazon or elsewhere.

人话说:领导是关心人、成长人的。

16. 成就越大,责任越大

我们是在一个车库起家的,但现在不是了。我们很大,我们影响着世界,同时,我们远非完美。我们必须对我们的行为(包括次生影响)保持谦虚和谨慎。我们的社区、地球和后代需要我们每天都变得更好。我们必须在每天开始时下定决心:做得更好、干得更好、变得更好,为我们的客户、我们的员工、我们的合作伙伴,乃至整个世界。我们必须在每天结束时,知道我们明天还可以做得更多。领导者创造的比他们耗用的更多,而且总是把事情变得比他们发现时更好。

全文完。

16. Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility

We started in a garage, but we’re not there anymore. We are big, we impact the world, and we are far from perfect. We must be humble and thoughtful about even the secondary effects of our actions. Our local communities, planet, and future generations need us to be better every day. We must begin each day with a determination to make better, do better, and be better for our customers, our employees, our partners, and the world at large. And we must end every day knowing we can do even more tomorrow. Leaders create more than they consume and always leave things better than how they found them.
