向前一步:第79期 职业生涯中的长远梦想及短期目标(11)

 　　Those in more established industries can look for the rocket ships within their companies—divisions or teams that are expanding. 成熟的行业可以在其企业内部寻找“火箭”，即正在扩张的部门或是团队；

　　And in careers like teaching¹ or medicine, the corollary is to seek out positions where there is high demand for those skills. 而像教育或医药这样的行业，就需要找出那些对职业技能有要高要求的职位。

　　For example, in my brother's field of pediatric neurosurgery, there are some cities with too many physicians, while others have too few. 比如，在我弟弟所在的小儿神经外科领域，有些城市的医生过多，有些城市的医生则太少。

　　My brother has always elected to work where his expertise² would be in demand so he can have the greatest impact³. 而我弟弟总是选择去那些能充分发挥自己专业技能的地方，以便发挥出最大的职业潜力。

　　Just as I believe everyone should have a long-term dream, I also believe everyone should have an eighteen-month plan. 我相信每个人都应该有一个长远的梦想，我也相信每个人都应该有一个“18个月目标”。

　　(I say eighteen months because two years seems too long and one year seems too short, but it does not have to be any exact amount of time.) （之所以说“18个月”是因为两年听起来太长，一年听起来又太短，这表示并不一定要有完全确切的时间。）

　　Typically, my eighteen-month plan sets goals on two fronts. 通常，我的“18个月目标”会从两方面加以考虑：

　　First and most important, I set targets for what my team can accomplish. 首先，也是最重要的，以“我的团队能为公司做什么”设定目标。

　　Employees who concentrate on results and impact are the most valuable, 那些关注结果和影响力的雇员是最值得重视的，

　　like Lori, who wisely focused on solving Facebook's recruiting⁴ problem before focusing on herself. 比如洛里·戈勒，她很聪明地把注意力放在解决脸谱网的招聘难题而不是自己身上。

　　This is not just thinking communally—the expected and often smart choice for a woman—but simply good business. 这不仅能让女性从共同利益的角度思考问题，它也符合人们的期望并且是一种明智的选择。
