【商業智慧】前微軟人力資源副總裁 Chris Williams 從蓋茨身上學到的三大智慧
前微軟人力資源副總裁 Chris Williams 與微軟創辦人蓋茨共事8年，深刻體會到這位科技巨頭背後的智慧。以下是 Williams 在蓋茨身上學到的三大難忘教訓：
- 追尋真相：他鑽研每一個細節，不僅是出於對技術的熱愛，更是對如何持續進步的追求。他對細節的熱情告訴我們，永遠不要停止學習和發問。
- 辨識真偽：蓋茨相信真誠與坦率是最好的策略，這教導我們在工作和人生中都應該追求真實。誠實比任何技巧都來得重要。面對困境時，真誠地承認「我不知道」遠勝過製造謊言。
- 整合與洞察：面對問題和挑戰，蓋茨的強項是他能從錯綜複雜的情況中看到清晰的脈絡，並快速找到問題的核心，針對問題提出解決方案。只有深入理解一個問題，我們才能找到最佳的答案。
作為微軟的一員，Williams 深感榮幸能夠從蓋茨身上學到這麼多。他的這些教訓不僅僅是關於技術或商業，更多的是關於人生和成長。
Chris Williams, the former Vice President of Human Resources at Microsoft, worked alongside Microsoft's founder, Bill Gates, for 8 years and profoundly understood the wisdom behind this tech giant. Here are the three unforgettable lessons Williams learned from Gates:
- Dig for answers: He delves into every detail, not only out of love for technology but also in pursuit of continuous improvement. His passion for details teaches us never to stop learning and asking questions.
- Smell the bull: Gates believes that sincerity and frankness are the best strategies. This teaches us to pursue authenticity in both work and life. Honesty is more important than any technique. In the face of difficulties, sincerely admitting "I don't know" is far better than fabricating lies.
- Synthesize from nothing: When confronted with problems and challenges, Gates' strength is that he can see a clear context from a complex situation and quickly pinpoint the core of the issue, proposing solutions. Only by deeply understanding a problem can we find the best answer.
As a member of Microsoft, Williams feels honoured to have learned so much from Bill Gates. These lessons are not only about technology or business but more about life and growth.
