Talk about cooperation

    Many people believe they should subordinate their own personal
preferences for their team better. In business world, flexibility
and adaptability are spoken in laudatory terms, with the result
that most people believe they should be unselfish to the team.
Therefore, we can find the conclusion of above the passage is that
a good team members do whatever it takes to help the team excel,
even if they don't like it.

    But the reality is that a good team members always volunteer their
strengths to a team and then help other team member to figure out
their advantages. If everyone on the team can seek out other team
members who specialize in aspect of the project, the team can
become more efficiency and highly competent, as a result, when a
group of people work together to take full advantage of each other's
strengths, impressive things will happen.

Google創新無管理

Google創新無管理

Google的國際企業體制有個比較特別的地方就是雖然在各地都有公司，但卻沒有regional的概念，例如，IT manager在日本，marketing manager在香港，financial manager在大陸。
再來看看Google的決策方式，當有一個case或project出現時，一般企業都要經過無數的開會以及層層的決議，但是Google卻只需十幾二十封mail就討論決策完了。
如何做到的呢？其實原因就在於Google的階層很少，從engineer到CEO，中間大概只會經過一兩個人而已，可以說每一個員工都是總部的員工。
如果你是一位Google員工，必須自己進Google裡面看，自己學，總部不會有人真正帶你，也不會幫你做好基礎的工作，所以，自學能力是非常重要的，這種環境能給你空間創新思考，但前提是你規劃及執行力要夠。
至於當一個Google的管理者，每天要面對這麼多聰明的engineer，不容易，所以最好把manage這個字忘掉，改用leadership 或 help 才是對的。
