1、What is the most valuable contribution employees make to their companies, knowledge or judgment? I say judgment. Knowledge, no matter how broad, is useless until it is applied. And application takes judgment, which involves something of a sixth sense—a high performance of the mind. This

2、 raises interesting questions about the best training for today's business people. As Daniel Goleman suggests in his new book, Emotional Intelligence, the latest scientific findings seem to indicate that intelligent but inflexible people don't have the right stuff in an age when the a

3、daptive bility is the key to survival. In a recent cover story, Time magazine sorted through the current thinking on intelligence and reported, "New brain research suggests that emotions, not IQ, may be the true measure of human intelligence." The basic significance of the emotional in

4、telligence that Time called "EQ" was suggested by management expert Karen Boylston: "Customers are telling businesses, 'I don't care if every member of your staff graduated from Harvard. I will take my business and go where I am understood and treated with respect.'" If the evolution

5、ary pressures of the marketplace are making EQ, not IQ, the hot ticket for business success, it seems likely that individuals will want to know how to cultivate it. I have a modest proposal: Embrace a highly personal practice aimed at improving these four adaptive skills. Raising consciousn

6、ess. I think of this as thinking differently on purpose. It's about noticing what you are feeling and thinking and escaping the conditioned confines of your past. Raise your consciousness by catching yourself in the act of thinking as often as possible. Routinely take note of

7、 your emotions and ask if you're facing facts or avoiding them. Using imagery. This is what you see Olympic ski racers doing before entering the starting gate. With their eyes closed and bodies swaying, they run the course in their minds first, which improves their performance. You

8、 can do the same by setting aside time each day to dream with passion about what you want to achieve. Considering and reconsidering events to choose the most creative response to them. When a Greek philosopher said 2,000 years ago that it isn't events that matter but our opinion of

9、 them, this is what he was talking about. Every time something important happens, assign as many interpretations to it as possible, even crazy ones. Then go with the interpretation most supportive of your dreams. Integrating the perspectives of others. Brain research shows that our

10、 view of the world is limited by our genes and the experiences we've had. Learning to <1>incorporate the useful perspectives of others is nothing less than a form of enlarging your senses. The next time someone interprets something differently from you—say, a controversial political even

11、t—pause to reflect on the role of life experience and consider it a gift of perception. The force of habit—literally the established wiring of your brain—will pull you away from practicing these skills. Keep at it, however, because they are based on what we're learning about the mechanism o

12、f the mind. Within the first six months of life the human brain doubles in capacity. It doubles again by age four and then grows rapidly until we reach sexual maturity. The body has about a hundred billion nerve cells, and every experience <2>triggers a brain response that literally shape

13、s our senses. The mind, we now know, is not confined to the brain but is distributed throughout the body's universe of cells. Yes, we do think with our hearts, brains, muscles, blood and bones. During a single crucial three-week period during our teenage years, chemical activity in the brain

14、is cut in half. That done, we are "biologically wired" with what one of the nation's leading brain researchers calls our own "world view". He says it is impossible for any two people to see the world exactly alike. So unique is the personal experience that people would understand the worl

15、d differently. However, it is not only possible to change your world view, he says, it's actually easier than overcoming a drug habit. But you need a discipline for doing it. Hence, the method recommended here. No, it's not a curriculum in the sense that an MBA is. But the late

16、st research seems to imply that without the software of emotional maturity and self-knowledge, the hardware of academic training alone is worth less and less. 員工對公司最有價值的貢獻是什么，是知識還是判斷力？ 我說是判斷力。 不管知識面有多寬，如果得不到應用，就毫無用處。 而知識的應用需要判斷力，判斷力涉及某種第六感覺──思維的高度運用。 這就提出了關于現(xiàn)今企業(yè)界人士最佳培訓課程的有趣問題。 正如丹尼爾·戈爾曼在他的新書

17、《情感智能》中所說，最新的科研結果似乎表明，在一個適應能力對生存很關鍵的年代，聰明但缺乏靈活性的人并不具備這種能力。 《時代周刊》最近的封面故事列舉了目前關于智能的一些看法，報道說：“新的人腦研究表明，衡量人的智能的真正尺度可能是情感，而不是智商?！? 《時代周刊》稱之為“情商”的情感智能的根本意義可從企業(yè)管理專家卡倫·波爾斯頓的話中窺見一斑：“顧客對企業(yè)說‘我可不在乎是否你的每個員工都畢業(yè)于哈佛，我只愿意與能理解我、尊重我的企業(yè)打交道?！? 如果說市場的進化發(fā)展所造成的壓力使得情商，而不是智商，成為企業(yè)走向成功的通行證，那么，人們可能很希望懂得如何培養(yǎng)情商。 我有個小小的建議：

18、積極進行自我訓練，努力提高以下四項適應性技能： 提高意識程度。 我把這看作是思考時有意獨辟蹊徑。 這是指注意自己感受到什么，在想什么，擺脫過去帶給自己的種種限制。 盡可能多地注意思考時的自己，以此來提高意識程度。 要習慣性地注意自己的情感，問問自己是在面對還是在逃避事實。 利用想象。 這是奧運會滑雪賽手在進入起跑門之前所做的。 他們閉上眼，擺動身體，在頭腦中先把整個滑雪道過一遍，這能提高他們在實際比賽中的表現(xiàn)。 我們也可以這樣做，每天留出時間來帶著激情想象一番自己想要獲得的成就。 反復考慮各種事件，并對它們做出最富創(chuàng)意的反應。 兩千年前的一位希臘哲學家說過，重

19、要的不是事件本身，而是我們對事件的看法，他說的正是此意。 每當發(fā)生重要事情時，要盡可能從多方面去看問題，甚至作異乎尋常的理解， 然后照著最有利于自己理想的那種理解去做。 綜合考慮他人的看法。 大腦研究表明，人們對外界的看法受到遺傳基因及個人經歷的局限。 學會吸納他人有用的觀點是一種擴大自己見識的方式。 下次如果有人對某件事與你有不同的看法，比如對某個有爭議的政治事件，停下來想想這其實是生活閱歷使然，應把它看作一種感知能力的饋贈。 習慣的力量──確切說就是頭腦里已建立的思維方式──會妨礙你操練這些技能。 然而要堅持下去，因為它們是以對思維機制的認識為基礎的。 人腦的

20、容量在生命開始的最初六個月增長了一倍， 到四歲時又增長一倍，其后大腦的容量迅速發(fā)展，直到性成熟為止。 人體有大約1000億個神經細胞，每一次經歷都會激發(fā)腦部的反應，而這種反應實際上影響著我們的感知。 我們現(xiàn)在知道，思維活動并不局限在腦部，而是遍布于全身的細胞中。 是的，我們的確是在用心、用腦、用肌肉、用血液和骨骼來思考。 我們的青少年階段有一個為期三周的關鍵時期，此時腦部的化學反應活動一分為二。 完成了這一變化，正如國內一位重要的大腦研究人員所說，我們“對外界的看法”就“在生理上定型了”。 他說任何兩個人都不可能對外界有完全一樣的看法。 個人的體驗都是獨一無二的，因此人們對

21、外界的理解都不相同。 然而，他說，人們對外界的看法不僅有可能改變，而且實際上比克服藥物依賴性還容易。 但是要想做到這一點需要訓練。 因此我們推薦了上述做法。 這并不是像MBA那樣的課程。 但最新的研究似乎表明，缺乏情感成熟和自我了解這一軟件單靠純學術性的培訓這一硬件是沒有用的 unit 10 Section A Vocabulary III. 1. incorporate 2. triggered 3. perspectives 4. cultivating 5. confine 6. capacity 7. Controversial 8. conscious
