you'll be going into other companies and finding just that: the staff that another manager will not

want to see leave. We recruit only key players.

核心员工究竟是 什么样子的

?

几乎每次进行调查时，

我 都会从雇主们那里听到

“核心员工”

这个名词。我请一位客户— —一位正参与研究的人事部经理，给我解释一下。

“每家公司都

有少数几个这样的员工，在某个专业领域，你可以指望他们把活儿干好。

在我的小组中，

有七名化工流程工程 师和生物学家，

其中有那么两三个人是我赖以生存的，

”

他说，

“他们对我的公司而言不可或缺。当请你们公司替我们招募新人 的时候，我们期待你

们会去其他公司找这样的人：其他公司经理不想失去的员工。我们只 招募核心员工。

”

这是一段充满了鼓动性的谈话，

他们想从另一家公司招募核心员工。

然而，

每家公司也从新人 中招人。

他们要寻找的是完全一样的东西。

“我们把他们和公司 顶级员工表现出的特质进行对照。假

如他们看起来有同样特征的话，我们就在他们身上赌 一把。

”只是这样有点儿冒险。

The selfless collaborator

John Fetzer, career consultant and chemist, first suggested this

trait, which has already been written about a great deal. It deserves repeating because it is the

single most public difference between academia and industry.

特征

1

：无私的合作者

职业顾问和化学家约翰·

费策尔最早 提出了这个特征。

关于这个特征，

人们已经写了大量的

文章。它之所以值得被反复谈及，是因为这一特征是学术界和企业间最明显的差别。

“这里

需要合作，

”费策尔说，

“企业的环境并不需要单打独斗，

争强好胜，所以表现出合作和无私

精神的员工就脱颖而出了。在企业环境中，没有这样的思维方式就不可能成功。

Many

peptides

and

grad

students

have

a

tough

time

showing

that

they

can

make

this

transition

because so much of their life has involved playing the independent- researcher role and

outshining

other

young

stars.

You

can

make yourself

more

attractive

to

companies

by working

together with scientists from other laboratories and disciplines in pursuit of a commongoal

—

and

documenting

the

results

on

your

resume.

This

approach,

combined

with

a

liberal

use

of

the

pronoun

perception

of you

from

a

lone

wolf

to

a

selfless

collaborator.

Better

still,

develop

a

reputation

inside your lab and with people your lab collaborates with as a person who fosters and initiates

collab orations

—

and

make

sure

this

quality

gets

mentioned

by

those

who

will

take

those

reference phone calls.
