权力会影响人的行为,权力让很难接受他人的建议,即使这个人是某个领域的专家。权力让人更容易准求身体上的满足。例如,有权力的人更容易选择巧克力之类诱惑力的食物,而忽视胡萝卜之类的有营养价值的食物。权力让人在和人交谈时更倾向于自我为中心,认为自己的事更能引起别人的兴趣。
权力让人很难以他人的视角看事待物。权力甚至让人觉得自我的身高都要高些。
权力是和时代同步的,谦卑是高管应具备的重要素质。在招聘时,面试官通常会把使用“我们”而不是“我”作为一个人是否过于自我的判断依据。
虽然各行各业都在反对权力带来的负面影响,但是权力也有其有利的一面。有研究表明,扁平组织花在做决定的时间比有等级制度的组织更多,权威能够促使组织快速达成一致。
权力还有助于实现长远目标和个人目标。公司虽然喜欢谦逊,团队合作,但也需要雄心,激情和自信。最好的管理者懂得如何运用自己手中的权力,知道何时停止指手画脚,何时行使命令。
It makes them more likely to gratify their physical needs.
They struggle to see things from the perspective of others.
High-performing teams depend
on collaboration and candour, not cringing and compliance.
Entire industries are feted for the way they try to counteract the effects of power.
It is no use having brilliant ideas without the means to put them into practice.
Companies like the idea of humility and teamwork but they are also feudal structures that depend on ambition, impatience and gallons of unwarranted self-confidence.
