I admire my boss a lot. He's very capable. He knows exactly what he's doing and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty, not like some managers who think they're above it all. The one problem is that he takes on too much. I don't think it's because he doesn't trust us to do a good job. It's because he likes to be involved in everything. He's a bit of a control freak. The result is that he spreads himself very thin, when he could hand more work out to others, and he's often overloaded and stressed. Cheryl's not particularly brilliant, but she knows that. She knows her own limitations, which is certainly one of her strengths. In fact, I don't think you have to be particularly bright to be a manager. That's more a quality you need in a leader. A manager's job is to bring order to the workplace and the team, so that people are clear about what they should be doing and when they should be doing it. Cheryl is very good at getting everyone working in the most efficient way and that makes our working environment much less stressful.
我非常崇拜我的老板。 他很有才干和能力。 他清楚地知道他在干什么，也并不擔心做些讓自己的手變臟的基層工作。 這可不像有些認為自己早已超越那些底層的工作，不屑去做的經(jīng)理那樣。 雖然如此，他的問題在于他承擔了太多的工作。 我并不認為這是因為他不信賴我們可以做好工作， 而是因為他喜歡親身參與到每一件事情中去。他是有點兒控制癖的怪人。結(jié)果就是當他可以將更多工作分配給別人的時候，他卻讓自己承擔了過多的責任，這讓他經(jīng)常會處于負載受壓的狀態(tài)。 Cheryl 并不是十分的優(yōu)秀，但她清楚這一點。 她知道自己的缺陷所在，這也無疑是她的優(yōu)勢之一。 實際上，我并不認為作為一名經(jīng)理需要十分聰慧杰出。 那更應該是一名領導所需要具備的一項品質(zhì)。 一名經(jīng)理的職責是讓工作場所以及工作團隊井然有序，這樣大家就可以清楚地知道他們應該做些什么，什么時候去做。 Cheryl 非常善于讓每個人都能以他們最高效的方式工作，這也為我們的工作環(huán)境減壓不少。 ——譯文來自: rebornknight
