直到现在，我都自认为我可以在我所擅长的领域，特别自如地说出某件事情该如何运作（但我也绝对不会不经大脑想什么说什么，因为未经处理便被传达的想法极有可能让你出现纰漏，古语说得好，三思而后行，不是没有依据的。）如果你是一个企业团队负责人，和我有着相似的感受，那么这篇文章你就看对了！毕竟如果想要在企业（团队）利益及个人主观想法之间取得完美平衡，想想就令人头疼不是吗？
对于大多数基层工作者，我要说一句你们很熟悉的话了——以下内容仅供参考。当我还是一名基层顾问时，上级曾指示我开拓出一块全新的市场，但说实话，我个人当时确实对公司的某些观点及建议感觉到愚蠢至极、无法采纳，这其中不乏一些马后炮式的所谓“谏言”，而后公司甚至对我“指出部分问题”的做法加以责罚。但事实是我的运气的确比较好，早年两次因才干被人相中而破格提拔，步入公司人员体系中的高层。但我也明白，不是所有人都和我一样这么幸运，尤其对于从一开始自身观点就没有和企业观点达成一致的管理者，大多数人的挣扎在攀升路上有增无减，这种理念的不合实在太扎心！
对顾客：“我们相信A计划是针对您的需求最佳也是最合算的解决方案。”
心里真实所想：甲计划主要就是蹭个热度，金玉其外败絮其中。乙方案才是最合适的选择，诱导客户选择甲方案只不过是为了避免被经理叫进办公室训话问责罢了。
我上面举的例子你是否似曾相识？市场调查显示有72%的人都有过类似经历，这就是上文我所提到的——与公司观点不符造成地心理矛盾或不适。
对于企业员工来说，刚才提及的挣扎与矛盾只会日复一日地上演，那么我们能做什么呢？首先，心平气和地坐下，然后一条条列出观点不合之处以及相应带来的不愉快。能够妥协的项，那么恭喜，可以先划去，但最棘手的还是自己完全不能容忍的那些条目，于是我们就要开始思考“在什么程度之下我还能继续忍受在这样的环境中”，不然就是帮自己倒忙，给领导添乱。不过说白了，人都是有自己的想法的，我们不免又会想到职业前景、发展目标等等诸多，毕竟工作不光是为了一位上司，仅仅因自己的价值观未受重视就抛弃一切，并不一定是理智的不是吗？
解决完员工的问题，那么问题来了，企业在招募时如何避免招到价值观与企业无法同步的员工呢？简而言之，其实这种情况根本无法避免！业内有不少所谓能够试探人心的测试，然而其效果似乎并不理想，这就好比我小学五年级的时候就会经历考试，即使对我来说并没有什么用处，我也也必须尽心完成，因为这是教育系统的标准设置。这些测试忽略了人们通常并不知道自己所表现出的价值观具体是基于哪种生活情境，在这种设定上简单地投入一个角色扮演式的测试所得到的结果往往是不准确的。那么我们也不是只能束手无策，比如，从文化角度和常规逻辑推导来说，候选人是否适合一份工作也是需要得到保证的，想要了解更多信息可以，您还可以直接向笔者咨询，只是最重要的依然是通过在企业人事构架中攀登的经验逐步分析自己是否适合一个环境。不仅因为我是这方面的专家，我才在此向您强调这一点，出于了解员工的价值观和行为同企业自身息息相关的切身考量，我才一定要把这个事实拿出来探讨。

CorporatePosition vs. Your Own Values
These days Ifeel like as if I can air out my opinions on business, strategy and how thingsshould be done in my niche area the way my brain thinks it should be (I nevercondone speaking straight from the heart because those unprocessed thoughtscome back and bite you in the end). However, if you were like me previously andwas in charge of a team for a larger company, then balancing your company’scorporate position versus your own beliefs on how things should get done is aconstant struggle.
For more junioremployees, this may or may not be relevant depending on the nature of the work.When I was tasked with developing an entirely new market as a juniorconsultant, of course I didn’t appreciate the fact that the corporate positionon a number of issues, which looking back in hindsight, is incredibly stupidand yet at the time I got penalized for point out such issues for the better ofthe company. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to be headhunted twice in my earlystages of my career, and moving up the corporate ladder gave me much moreauthority. On the flipside, for most people the battle between corporateposition and their own beliefs intensify the higher they move up the corporateladder, if their values are not initially aligned properly.
To a client,“We believe Plan A is the perfect solution to your needs and is also the mostcost-effective”
What you arereally think “Plan A is actually just hot air, full of crap and actually Plan Bis much better suited to the client’s needs. But because I don’t want to getdragged into the room and get screamed at by my Managing Director, I’m going tohave to play along with Plan B”
Well, if the above sounds like a frequentoccurrence, then you are not alone. Over a reported of 72% of people that areconducted by a few market researching firm partners stated that they have atleast been in uncomfortable positions in which they do not necessarily agreewith the company’s vision.
As far asemployees go, the conflict and struggle of whether or not the workplace isappropriate for your beliefs lives on another day, but what you need to do issit down and think about the issues that you have felt uncomfortable with andlist them out. The items that you feel can be compromised - then woohoo. Butit’s really the issues that you feel are intolerable, you then need to think atwhat point is it okay for you to continue staying at this kind of environment.You are not only doing a disservice to yourself, but also your employer whocould easily free up your headcount and have someone that is more of a fit totakeover. But be selfish for a second and think about your career - there aredefinitely more things worth your time pursuing than staying for an employerand feel all downbeat because your values don’t matter.
So how shouldcompanies remedy this before hiring an employee whose value system may notalign? The short answer is, you can’t. There are a bunch of value-system testsout there that claim they help evaluate this ahead of time. I’ve certainlytaken one before and I felt like as if I was in grade 5 - taking a test thatyou know is meaningless but you still have to do it because the system dictatesyou to do so. What they fail to ignore is that people usually don’t know whatexactly their value system is out of context, and if just throw a roleplayingscenario in there then it often produces inaccurate results. What you CAN doahead of time however is to ensure the employee is a cultural fit through logicanalysis - for more information you are welcome to consult with me on this, butwhat you really need is ongoing evaluation as you develop throughout yourjourney climbing the internal corporate ladder to see if this works for you,which is something that I heavily insist all my clients implement not justbecause I happen to be an expert on this, but understanding how an employee’svalues affect their behavior as they progress through the ranks is of theutmost relevance.
