Presence存在
Presence doesn’t simply mean you fill a seat at the table. For ideation to work, every participant has to be mentally present and in the moment. Perhaps that phrase has become a bit clichéd, but it does address a real solution to a very common problem. A basic pitfall of human communication is that we think about what we’re going to say next as opposed to being focused on what’s being said in the moment and then reacting honestly. This leads to the strong probability that we will miss content and subtext being communicated to us because we’re too busy thinking ahead rather than thinking in the present. A brainstorming session requires that participants speak and listen in the moment, free of distraction.
在场并不仅仅意味着您要坐在桌子旁。为了使想法起作用,每个参与者都必须时刻保持精神上的存在。也许这个词有点陈词滥调,但是它确实解决了一个非常普遍的问题的真正解决方案。人际交流的一个基本陷阱是,我们思考下一步要说的是什么,而不是专注于当前所说的话,然后诚实地做出反应。这导致我们很可能会错过与我们交流的内容和潜台词,因为我们太忙于向前思考而不是在当前思考。头脑风暴会议要求参与者在发言和倾听时保持分心。
This starts from the top down. In my experience nothing is more deadly to ideation than a distracted leader. If the person ostensibly running a brainstorming session doesn’t seem willing to commit to it, then why in the world would anyone else in the room be willing to commit themselves? Cognitive psychologists tell us that our bodies send out messages all the time.7 If a leader has arms crossed in a defensive bit of body language, or keeps looking at a watch or a phone,the message being sent is that the leader would rather be somewhere else. Why shouldn’t the rest of the team feel the same way?
这是从上到下开始的。以我的经验,没有什么比分心的领导者更致命的了。如果表面上看的人似乎不愿意进行集体讨论,那么为什么世界上的其他人都愿意这样做呢?认知心理学家告诉我们,我们的身体一直在发送信息。7如果领导者双臂交叉着防御性的肢体语言,或者一直看着手表或电话,那么所传达的信息是,领导者宁愿别的地方。为什么团队的其他成员也不会有同样的感觉?
The enlightened leader understands that a huge part of the leadership role is to actively acknowledge that this session is happening here and now with this team and with this particular task at hand. The effective leader must be able to make a conscious effort to focus on nothing other than what is happening right here, right now. This skill can be developed in the same way that one might work a muscle group: as a conscious effort to focus is made more and more often, less effort is required and one’s focus becomes sharper. A good workplace habit is created.
开明的领导者了解到,领导角色的很大一部分是要积极地认识到本届会议是在这个时刻进行的,与这个团队以及手头的这项特殊任务有关。有效的领导者必须能够有意识地做出努力,专注于眼下正在发生的事情。可以以一种可能使肌肉群起作用的方式开发这种技能:随着越来越多的注意力集中在有意识的努力上,需要的精力更少,并且一个人的焦点变得更加清晰。养成良好的工作习惯。
For members of a brainstorming team, being in the moment means being ready to participate fully. At a nuts-and-bolts level this means banning the external distractions of technology from the rooms—no smartphones, iPads, or laptops. The only databases in the room are a bunch of human brains. Internal personal distractions should be set aside as well.
对于集思广益团队的成员来说,当下意味着随时准备充分参与。从细节上讲,这意味着禁止从房间中转移技术的外部干扰—禁止使用智能手机,iPad或笔记本电脑。房间里唯一的数据库是一堆人脑。内部个人分心也应放在一边。
Before a leader or member heads into a session, it’s remarkably helpful to take one or two minutes to get one’s head in the right space (game state) and make the conscious decision to be a productive part of the team. People get flustered and frustrated for all kinds of reasons in the workplace; however, it’s self-defeating to carry a headful of problems into a meeting that’s not designated for solving those problems.
在领导者或成员参加会议之前,花一两分钟的时间在正确的空间(游戏状态)中做出决定,并有意识地做出决定,成为团队的重要组成部分,这是非常有用的。人们在工作场所因各种原因而感到沮丧和沮丧;但是,将大量问题带入未指定用于解决这些问题的会议是不择手段的。
Once a brainstorming session is underway, it is important to stay in the moment. Everyone in the room needs to maintain a productive level of energy and a positive attitude. Don’t forget that energy and attitude are choices. It’s okay to feel tired or to be caught in your head or even be negative sometimes. However, it is dangerous to assume that you are not affecting people negatively. If every team member makes the choice to affect the session and the people in the session in a positive way, the stage is set for a great, productive meeting. People can certainly have natural dips in energy and attitude, and no workplace can expect everyone to be a high-energy Uncle Smiles all the time. However, it is also unfair to play the part of Aunty Poopy-Panty every single meeting. The point is to accept that you can make the choice to affect energy and attitude in any direction you want.
一旦进行了集思广益的会议,重要的是要留在当下。会议室中的每个人都需要保持富有成效的精力和积极的态度。不要忘记,精力和态度是选择。感到疲倦或被您的头部困住,甚至有时会感到消极是可以的。但是,假设您没有对人们产生负面影响是危险的。如果每个团队成员都选择以积极的方式影响会议和会议中的人员,那么就可以进行一次富有成效的会议。人们当然可以在精力和态度上有天生的下降,而且没有一个工作场所可以期望每个人一直都是一个充满活力的叔叔微笑。但是,每次开会都扮演Poopy-Panty的角色也是不公平的。关键是要接受您可以选择在任何方向上影响能量和态度的选择。
