冲击的内涵

“我是随公司被并购而加入GE的。刚进来的一段日子我感到很不适应，因为GE全球性的企业文化和它快节奏的风格让我感觉到强烈的冲击。

记得刚进GE不久，我接到一个销售项目，进度安排紧凑而且没有具体的操作模式可供参考。我在惊诧之余，第一反应是‘难道我看错了？但也正是那次，我多年以来第一次如 此主动而高效率地投入工作，最终顺利完成了项目。而新的目标又在向我招手了。

适应这种变化总会有些痛苦，不过做了几个项目以后，我开始喜欢GE的工作方式。这感觉很难描绘：就象是一个以为自己已经衰老的人又恢复了青春一样。

主动的工作状态是非常重要的。在这里没有人手把手地告诉你该怎么做，一切都要你主动地去应对－－这种区别就象中学生和大学生学习方式的区别。现在的感觉是我上升了整整一个高度。”

"I became a GE employee after my former company was acquired. Initially, I felt uncomfortable within GE's unique culture and fast-paced work environment. I still remember my first sales project after the acquisition. The project has a critical timeline and did not come with a detailed execution plan as I had learned to expect from my previous company. My first reaction was:‘ Did I miss something? ’ Then I realized that I needed to take ownership. I needed to take the initiative to drive this project to completion. I made it. Then the next one was just around the corner.

"It was difficult to change and adapt to a new environment. However, after a few projects, I began to enjoy doing things the GE way. It is very hard to describe - I felt like I had regained the liveliness of my youth.

“Being proactive is extremely important here. No one will hold your hand or tell you what to do. You need to have the initiative and drive to face your challenges and manage your responsibilities.”
