In this moment in time that we find ourselves in, we're dealing with epidemic levels of burnout in the workplace.
當前，職場中的職業倦怠已經達到了流行病級別的嚴重程度。
3
Burnout meaning you're not just tired, you're inexplicably tired.
職業倦怠不只是單純的累，而是那種說不出緣由的疲憊。

When we ask people, what is the work experience like when you're working hard, but yet you're strangely underutilized?

16
where you feel like you're working hard but you're not getting anywhere or nobody sees or notices.

22
Studying how we think and how we operate can end up creating extraordinary differences in impact.
研究我們的思維方式和行為模式，最終能讓我們的影響力產生巨大差異。
23
And what that means is without working harder, we can increase our impact and avoid burnout.
這意味著我們無需更拼命地工作，就能提升影響力，還能避免職業倦怠。
24
The idea of impact players is a metaphor that I borrowed from sports.
關鍵球員這個概念是我從體育界借用的一個比喻。
25
In the sports world, we all know who the impact players are.
在體育界，我們都知道哪些球員是能改變比賽走勢的關鍵人物。
26
They're people who make this valuable contribution but that teams play better because they're on the team.
他們是做出了這種寶貴貢獻的人，而且正因為有他們在隊裡，團隊的表現才會更好。
27
They're the people we turn to in the high stakes situation and the people we hand the ball to
他們是我們在高風險局勢下會求助的人，也是我們會託付重任的人。

In my research, what I began to see is that the workplace has impact players as well.

31
When situations are messy, ambiguous, uncertain, the impact players move toward it and they take charge of it.
當局面混亂、模糊、充滿不確定性時，那些有影響力的行動者會主動迎上前去，掌控局面。
32
While the ordinary contributor tends to pull back and maybe even run from the chaos, the impact players dive into it.
普通貢獻者面對混亂時往往會退縮，甚至可能逃避，而核心骨幹則會投身其中。
33
They dive into it much like a surfer when they see this kind of big oncoming wave.
當他們看到這種迎面而來的巨浪時，就會像衝浪者一樣一頭扎進去。
34
Instead of retreating, they dive through that wave to get the other side where there's play, where there's opportunity, where there's a chance to innovate.
他們沒有選擇退縮，而是穿過那道浪，抵達另一側——那裡有發展空間，有機遇，也有創新的可能。
35
I think it's pretty easy to hear about impact players and to see the value they're contributing, the power of the work that they're doing,
我認為，要了解那些有影響力的關鍵人物、看到他們所創造的價值以及他們工作所產生的力量，其實是很容易的。
36
and assume that to increase your impact you have to work harder.
並且認為要提升自己的影響力就必須更努力地工作。
37
But what we have found is that the impact players in our study weren't working harder they were working differently
但我們發現，研究中的高影響力員工並非工作更努力，而是工作方式不同。
38
the most important practice of impact players is that they do the job that's needed
核心骨幹最重要的行事準則，就是完成真正需要完成的工作。
39
the difference between doing your job and doing the job that's needed really is the mindset
完成本職工作和完成真正需要做的工作之間的區別，其實就在於思維方式。
40
the mindset of doing your job is a mindset of competence and it's a mindset of diligence This is my job, it's what I was hired to do,
做好本職工作的心態，是一種能力的體現，也是一種勤奮的體現。這是我的工作，是我受僱來完成的任務。
41
this is my boundary, this is my box, and I'm going to do it, and I'm going to do it well.
這是我的邊界，這是我的領域，我要去做，而且要把它做好。
42
Now, the mindset for the impact player is not one of diligence, it's one of service.
如今，核心貢獻者的思維模式並非勤奮，而是服務。
43
How do I be of service to the most important priorities of the organization?
我該如何為組織最重要的優先事項提供支援？
44
What are the hot projects, the things that get funded and visibility?
哪些是熱門專案，也就是那些能獲得資金支援和曝光度的專案？
45
What are hot issues that divert people's attention?
有哪些會分散人們注意力的熱點話題？
46
Understand those hot spots and then point yourself toward those.
先搞清楚那些熱門方向，然後朝著它們努力。
47
Working on something that's important, that's visible and has heat can feel like more pressure.
處理重要、受關注且熱度高的工作時，人會感受到更大的壓力。
48
But if you are working on what is red hot relevant, there's momentum them.

So instead of thinking about doing more work, think about doing more impactful work and think about working where there's heat
所以，與其想著做更多工作，不如思考如何做更有影響力的工作，並專注於那些有熱度、有發展的領域。
53
and where you can work with ease rather than with effort.
讓你能夠輕鬆工作，而不是費力應付。

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
