为什么领导者需要学习写作这项技能
Why Leaders Need to Learn the Skill of Writing
导读
这篇文章从领导力角度谈写作:写作不是文秘技能,而是把复杂问题想清楚、把想法准确传递给团队的核心能力。对写作者来说,它提醒我们:动笔本身就是思考的一部分;同时,在远程协作时代,写作清晰度几乎直接决定影响力。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
把写作当作短期记忆的扩展:遇到复杂问题时先把所有想法、疑问和拆解过程倒到纸上,思路往往就清晰了。
- 02
好文章不是一次成型的,先允许自己写糙,再回到纸面找出最棘手的那一块重点突破。
- 03
写作前先想清楚读者和场景,需要简洁就简洁,需要详尽就详尽,语气的选择本身就是写作能力。
- 04
别指望读者自动听出你脑中的旋律;把背景、逻辑和结论写出来,才不会让对方来猜。

写作是把笔记本当作短期记忆的外接扩展,帮助拆解复杂问题。
成年后我一直保持记笔记的习惯,把脑中闪现的一切写下来:零散的项目和文章点子、问题与解法、示意图、清单和任务。项目卡住时我就翻开笔记,把任务拆成不那么可怕的小块,标出最麻烦的部分。多数情况下,写下来就能带来跨过障碍所需的清晰感。原因常常是问题太复杂,无法完整装进脑子里;写下来等于把笔记本当成有限的短期记忆的外接扩展,有点像内存不够时用的交换空间:慢得多,但当任务的内存需求超出即时可用容量时能救你一命。

Throughout my adult life I've always kept a notebook to write down everything that came to my mind. Random ideas for projects and articles, problems and solutions, schemas and drawings, lists and tasks. Whenever I get stuck with a project I will open my notebook and start writing everything down, breaking down the complexities of the task into smaller less terrifying chunks, pinpointing the most problematic parts. In most cases putting it all on paper gives me the clarity needed to jump the hurdle and move forward with the project. I think it often comes down to a problem being too complex to fully fit in my mind. By writing it down I make the notebook an extension of my limited short-term memory. It's a bit like swap memory when you run out of RAM – it's significantly slower, but can save you when the memory requirements of the task exceed what's immediately available.
领导者的写作习惯会塑造公司文化,并直接影响远程协作的成败。
我觉得这也是公司能否做好远程工作的一个重要前提。如果领导本身就是清晰有力的写作者,清晰的写作就会在公司里成为被高度重视的资产,擅长用文字表达想法的人在远程环境中往往表现更好。反过来,那些总想把人叫进会议室、开会或当面讲清楚的领导(重点是“总是”),会把这种心态扩散到全公司,文化上就不习惯做好远程。这只是我的个人观察。

I feel that this is also a strong prerequisite for companies that do well at remote work and those who don't. If you have a leader who is a clear and strong communicator via their writing, it turns out that clear and strong writing becomes a highly prized asset in the company, and people who are very good at communicating their thoughts in that way tend to do much better with remote work setups ... Leaders who constantly want to get everybody in a room, hold a meeting or talk though it (emphasis on constantly) ... spread that mindset through the company, and as a result have a culture that's much less accustomed to doing remote well ... just my anecdotal observation
写作能力包含按场景切换风格与语气的灵活性。
领导者需要学会写作上的“多样性”。写作要因情境而变:有时要简洁,有时要展开;有时要有攻击性,有时要含蓄暗示;有时要极其清晰,有时要面向大众表达,等等。

Leaders need to learn the skill of "Diversity" in writing. You need diversity in writing. Based on situation one needs to be either succinct or elaborated or aggressive or indicative or crystal clear or write for masses or etc, etc.
