优秀的管理者写得也好
Good managers write good
导读
这篇短文主张管理者的写作能力与其管理能力高度相关：清晰的书面表达能带来团队对齐、减少沟通成本、放大影响力。对写作者而言，它提供了一种把写作视为「思考与对齐工具」而非「文字修饰」的视角，有助于理解职场写作的真正目的。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
把写作当成对齐工具：动笔前先问「我要让谁和谁达成什么共识」，而不是先想措辞好不好看。
- 02
写不清楚往往是想不清楚，修改文字的过程就是梳理判断和优先级的过程，别把它当成额外负担。
- 03
对上级、同级和下属的书面沟通应服务于同一个目标：让团队利益与组织目标一致，而不是只向上表演。
- 04
越是带大团队，写作的影响力杠杆越大；想往高层走，先把写作当作必须刻意练习的核心技能。
HN 评论精选
写作能力与一线管理能力不构成充分必要关系，真正区分好坏管理者的是他服务于谁的利益。
这位评论者说自己的经历和文章不符：他遇过最差的管理者写作很好，而较好的管理者几乎不写、写了也平平。区别在于，差的管理者只顾上级和同级的利益、以为这样能升迁；好的管理者则努力让下属利益与整个组织的利益一致。他认为，写作对所有优秀的高层管理者（管 100 人以上）确实是必备技能，但对一线管理者既非必要也非充分条件。

This doesn't match up with my career. The worst manager I ever had was one of the better writers. One of the better managers I've had rarely wrote and when he did it was solidly mediocre. The difference between them was what that the terrible manager was focused only on the interests of his superiors and peers, thinking it would advance him; the good manager obsessively worked to create alignment between thier subordinates interests and that of the greater organization. The good manager has advanced and been successful as a 1st level manager. The terrible manager's goodbye letter was well written. Writing well is an important skill that and all the good executive level (100+ report) managers I've had write well, but it is neither necessary nor sufficient for 1st level managers.
写作是仅次于表达能力的成功要素，其价值在于逼你把想法串成一条清晰的思考链。
引用 MIT 的 Patrick Wilson 教授的话：人生成功很大程度上取决于你说话的能力、写作的能力，以及你想法的质量，顺序如此。评论者说，读硕士时他发现自己更享受写作和编辑的过程，而不是研究本身，构建研究文档时那串想法背后的思考过程让他意外地有共鸣。后来他长期搁置写作，直到开始写自己的网络安全通讯才重新体会到乐趣，真正的挑战是有时间写。

Professor Patrick Wilson from the MIT [1] once wrote that: "Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas, in that order." I think that's true. When I did my masters a few years ago, I enjoyed more the process of writing and editing than the research itself. I resonated with the thinking process behind the chain of ideas necessary to build a research document and this was surprising for me. Writing has been something I left aside for some time until I decided to start my Cybersecurity newsletter [2], which has been a pleasure to write. Having the time to do it is the challenge.

谦逊不是写作的前提，却是让写作变好的加速器。
写作本身不需要谦逊，有不少自我中心的写作者根本听不进反馈；但写作能从谦逊中受益。

Writing doesn’t require humility. There are plenty of egocentric writers who do not handle feedback well. Writing benefits from humility.
