Judging your growth as a leader will require you to consider a few informal indicators.

判斷自己作為領導者的成長需要考慮一些非正式指標。

程度副詞

Just start by asking yourself, what can you do or what do you know that is new, that last year you could not do or did not know?

只要先問問自己，你能做什麼或你知道什麼是新的，而去年你做不到或不知道的？

Remember, growth is not about doing a great job on the same tasks you did last year.

請記住，成長並不是要你出色地完成與去年相同的任務。

It's about stretching into new performance space and excelling there.

這是為了拓展新的表演空間，並在那裡大顯身手。

Let's start thinking about the two major informal growth indicators.

讓我們從兩個主要的非正式增長指標開始思考。

Those are applied skill development and your educational activities.

這些都是應用技能發展和你的教育活動。

Now, by applied skill development, what I'm referring to is on-the-job skill stretching or skill enlargement.

現在，我所說的應用技能發展是指在職技能擴展或技能擴大。

That might be initiated by you or your supervisor, and it might be engaged by you alone or under the supervision of a peer or your supervisor, at least for a while.

這可能是由你或你的上司發起的，也可能是由你單獨進行的，或者是在同行或你的上司的監督下進行的，至少在一段時間內是這樣。

For example, maybe one of your tasks is to brief a certain set of clients periodically about the status of various work products.

例如，您的任務之一可能是定期向特定客戶介紹各種工作產品的狀況。

If you take on new clients who are quite unlike the ones with whom you normally work, or if you're covering issues and topics new to you, that's skill growth.

如果你接手的新客戶與你平時工作的客戶完全不同，或者如果你涉及的問題和話題對你來說是全新的，這就是技能的增長。

Or you could be an account manager, but you take on more accounts, new types of accounts, or possibly a large important account.

或者，你可以是一名客戶經理，但你要負責更多的客戶、新類型的客戶，或者可能是一個重要的大客戶。

These represent opportunities to grow new skills, both in terms of people-related skills and technical or product skills.

這些都是增長新技能的機會，既包括與人相關的技能，也包括技術或產品技能。

Or maybe you're responsible for the analysis that supports one part of a monthly report supplied to upper management.

又或者，你負責為提交給上層管理人員的月度報告中的一部分提供分析支持。

Then ask for the opportunity to write that section as well.

然後要求有機會也寫這一部分。

Or maybe the analysis and writing for an entire first draft of all sections of the report.

或者是分析和撰寫報告各部分的整個初稿。

That would definitely represent new skills.

Okay, now let's consider the evidence that you've embraced valuable forms of education.

好了，現在讓我們來看看你接受有價值的教育形式的證據。

Books, blogs, podcasts, seminars, webinars, certification or credential-based programs, internal or external classroom training, tons of online courses, traditional educational degrees, and more.

書籍、博客、播客、研討會、網絡講座、認證或證書課程、內部或外部課堂培訓、大量在線課程、傳統教育學位等等。

The role of educational pursuits is both knowledge acquisition and skill building, though sometimes there's a lag time between knowledge acquisition and the chance to apply it at work.

教育的作用既是獲取知識，也是培養技能，但有時從獲取知識到有機會將其應用於工作之間會有一段滯後期。

That's okay, but it is important to engage educational activities that will likely give you real opportunities to apply what you've learned sooner rather than later due to knowledge decay.

沒關係，但重要的是要參與教育活動，這些活動可能會給你帶來真正的機會，讓你能夠儘早地學以致用，而不是因為知識的衰減而遲遲不能學以致用。

Now, in terms of the focus of your educational activities, a good rule of thumb is that by the time you've reached middle management, one-half to two-thirds should be focused on leadership-related content, not technical skills.

就教育活動的重點而言，一個很好的經驗法則是，當你晉升到中層管理人員時，二分之一到三分之二的教育活動應側重於與領導力相關的內容，而不是技術技能。

So do you see evidence of growth in these areas?

那麼，您看到這些領域的增長證據了嗎？

It helps to compare your evidence to your supervisor's expectations for you and to the work you see being accomplished by your peers to provide context.

將你的證據與上司對你的期望以及你看到的同行所完成的工作進行比較，有助於提供背景情況。

First, have you become a go-to person in a particular skill area in the last year?

首先，在過去的一年中，你是否成為了某一技能領域的佼佼者？

That's a person others seek out for advice.

Next, when you look up, down, left, and right inside your unit and the larger organization, do you understand new areas of the business now versus last year?

其次，當你在你的組織、部門和更大的組織內向上、向下、向左、向右看時，與去年相比，你是否瞭解了新的業務領域？

Finally, if your supervisor asked you to name the top three things that prove you've experienced skill growth, what would you say?

最後，如果你的上司讓你說出證明你技能增長的前三件事，你會怎麼說？

It's time to move past this little thought exercise we've been discussing and make a plan for moving forward.

現在是超越我們一直在討論的這個小小的思考練習，制定前進計劃的時候了。

Make it a goal that next year when you're doing this task, examining your skill growth, that you will have clear and compelling answers.

制定一個目標，明年當你完成這項任務、審視自己的技能增長時，你將得到清晰而令人信服的答案。
