---WDRD格式--可编辑-- --- Unit One TRAITS OF THE KEY PLAYERS David G. Jensen 核心员工的特征 大卫· G．詹森 1 What exactly is a key player? A "Key Player" is a phrase that I've heard about from employers during just about every search I've conducted. I asked a client - a hiring manager involved in a recent search - to define it for me. "Every company has a handful of staff in a given area of expertise that you can count on to get the job done. On my team of seven process engineer and biologists, I've got two or three whom I just couldn't live without," he said. "Key players are essential to my organization. And when we hire your company to recruit for us, we expect that 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." 1 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。” 2 This is part of a pep talk intended to send headhunters into competitor's companies to talk to the most experienced staff about making a change. They want to hire a "key player" from another company. Every company also hires from the ranks of newbies, and what they're looking for is exactly the same. "We hold them up to the standards we see in our top people. If it looks like they have these same traits, we'll place a bet on them." It's just a bit riskier. 这是一段充满了鼓动性的谈话，目的是把猎头们派往竞争对手的公司去游说经验丰富的 员工们做一次职业变更。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。 3 "It's an educated guess," says my hiring manager client. Your job as a future employee is to help the hiring manager mitigate that risk. You need to help them identify you as a prospective "key player". 3“这是一种有根据的猜测，”我的人事经理客户说。作为未来的一名员工，你的工作是帮助人事部经理降低这种风险，你需要帮助他们认定你有潜力成为一名核心员工。 4 Trait 1: The selfless collaborator J
