5 Keys For Predicting Career Potential预测职业潜力的5个关键因素By Phillip Braddy作者：菲利普·布兰迪Identifying the right talent is always a bit of a gamble.挑选合适人才的过程往往带有一点赌博的性质。We look to all sorts of systems and metrics, but they essentially come down to the same thing:我们指望各种类型的测评系统及指标可以带来些帮助，但是，从本质上讲，这些测评系统和指标都有同样的特质：Predicting potential for future success is based on past performance and demonstrated skills.即通过人才过去的绩效和所展现的技能，来预测其未来成功的潜力。That may only work if the future is very similar to the past – and we all know the rate of change within organizations is greater than ever. We are constantly required to adapt. What’s more, the behaviors that are effective at one level do not necessarily lead to success at the next. In the words of executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, “what got you here won’t get you there.”如果未来的情形非常类似于过去，那么潜力预测是可能实现的。但是，我们都知道如今组织内部发生变化的概率比以往任何时候都大，我们不断地被要求去适应变化。此外，即使一个人的表现在现有的职业等级上看似非常有效地，并不意味着当晋升到高一层级后也一定会成功。正如著名的经理人教练马歇尔·古德史密斯所言：“今天的成功不意味着明天的成功”。Perhaps a better predictor of future potential is learning agility – the ability to learn from experience with speed and flexibility.学习敏锐度，即快速灵活的从过往经验当中学习的能力，也许可以作为一个更好的预测未来潜力的因素。To improve your company’s ability to respond to future challenges, learning agility may be the most important skill you can seek – and develop – for yourself and in others.为了使您的公司可以在未来快速应对挑战，学习敏锐度是对您个人和他人来说需要探索和发展的一项最重要的技能。How can you identify learning agility? And how do you improve it?该如何定义学习敏锐度？又该如何提升学习敏锐度？I’ve found a five-factor model created by Adam Mitchinson and Robert Morris of the Teachers College, Columbia University to be useful. Learning-agile individuals practice disciplined personal development in five ways: Innovating, Performing, Reflecting, Risking, and Not Defending. We recently worked together on a research study to better understand these five facets of learning agility and how they connect with other leadership metrics. Here’s what we learned – along with tips to identify and encourage learning agility in your organization.我发现
