Early in my career, before I became my own boss and the CEO ofvwin彩票开户，我是一个坚硬的充电动机和振动器。我尽可能做任何完成的工作。我没有囚犯，没有季度失败，如果我的同事无法跟上，我把他们落后了。
However, in the process of getting the job done, I often ran over my peers. I had no patience for people who learned slower than I did. I had no patience for people who worked slower than I did. I deemed them to be lazy, ignorant, and a waste of the company’s resources. I’d show my intolerance in my day-to-day actions by being short with them, not listening, and trumping their ideas with my own.
而不是建立我的同事并给他们鼓励做得更好，我“不会浪费我的时间。”毕竟，我的时间太有价值了。我有去的地方，他们没有，他们想。我是超级明星，一个我用自己的内部指标来衡量的自给式标题，大多数人都令人窒息。
How you get results matters.
I felt that it was only my results that mattered, and they were so good that people would see them, and them alone. I didn’t realize it at the time, but, my personality was a problem for my peers, my department, my company, and for myself.
You see, I was excellent at smaller projects that I could do alone. However, projects involving other people were a problem because I either steamrolled them, ignored them, or didn’t help them. These projects weren’t fun for me nor for my peers. Worst of all, the project, the department, and the company suffered because our “team” couldn’tfunction as a team- 因为我。我想成为四分卫，前线和紧密的结局。虽然我的意图是好的，但这对每个人来说都很糟糕。我肯定的结果，但以巨大的成本为止。当促销时间来时，我被传递给较小的表演者，他们可以与之合作并管理人员。
I needed to learn how to collaborate, delegate, and most of all trust my coworkers, even if I didn’t think they could perform at the level I could. That’s a fear many workers have, and it reflects arrogance and insecurity. The best way to deal with this fear is through helping and empowering teammates by building them up and supplying them with the tools, information, and resources they need to perform. A良好的团队总是比表现良好的个人更高效。
固定在工作中。
I learned another lesson after my team projects ended. Since I was “THE star” with “THE knowledge” (which I didn’t share with anyone else), no one else could support the project after it was completed. Hence I was tied to the project for a long time and couldn’t move on to other projects.
当我说我没有分享时，我的意思是我没有记录事情，我没有帮助别人理解项目的全部内容。我在其他人面前跑了遥远，我是唯一理解项目的人。这意味着我是唯一一个可以在破裂时解决它的人。在我以这种方式上工作了几个项目之后，我没有时间在任何新的事情上工作，因为我所有的时间都花了维护旧的项目。我以为我会让自己变得非常宝贵，而且不可替代，但我真的只是把自己画进了一个角落。
您可能会认为如果您是唯一一个拥有所有答案的人，您就有工作保障和金额更高的薪水。错误的。恰恰相反。
在我的经验中，携带信息和别或不能与其他员工分享的人对业务不利，最终被替换或搬入了不太关键的功能。他们创造了可以扼杀整个公司的瓶颈。
Saboteur!
I think I started learning this lesson when something unusual happened to me. The company hired a younger, brighter, harder-working superstar than me. He was a better programmer, and he worked longer hours. He quickly caught the eye of management, and he was able to run circles around me. I figured, no problem, I’ll catch up with him and regain my status. Well, he didn’t give me the chance. He did to me exactly what I had done to my peers, only worse.
这颗新的明星没有与我一起学习的事情。他囤积了知识。他跑过我的顶部。他让我觉得自卑。他对待我很差，忽略了我，并惩罚了我。他基本上给了我一个味道，对别人的味道。好像这不够糟糕，他进一步走了。他实际上破坏了我的工作，有时会用我的工作相关的项目扮演诡计。这样做就像它获得的那样是一个不专业的，管理层也相同。
He also talked down about me to my peers. He talked down about me to my bosses. He successfully made me look stupid and lazy to many people. Yet, at the same time, he made himself look like an immature, inflexible liability to management.
管理层总是在看。
通过所有这些都学到的最好的教训是意识到我的老板知道正在发生的事情。即使他们每天只见过我几次，他们也知道我的真实性质和我的真实潜力。他们认识到这种新超级明星是多么不成熟，他们在看着我看看我是如何做出反应的。他们想看看我是否不成熟，足以弯腰他的水平并破坏他的工作并在他身上扮演诡计，或者我已经长一点。幸运的是，我有。我介意自己的事业，努力工作，我让新的超级巨星成为一个混蛋，直到他在公司内的死锁地位。当他烧毁了每座桥时，他后来辞掉了公司。
The benefit of hindsight.
20/20 Hindsight是一个惊人的事情。现在，经过30多年的衰老（优雅地，我可能会添加）并在Patroiot软件上有数百名员工工作，我有时间反思上面详述的人民问题。vwin彩票开户我现在意识到那些我蒸汽或忽略的团队玩家有很多要约，但我太快判断它们。我伤害了这些人，我们的关系，我的部门，我的公司和自己的职业生涯。现在我尽我所能，以确保我的年轻员工在爱国者软件上表现出我所做的相同的短视。vwin彩票开户我希望他们拥有漫长而富有成效的职业生涯，与他们关心的人，并关心他们。我希望你有同样的。
I learned the hard way. Hopefully, you won’t have to. Good luck.
