Today I'd like to talk about the dangers of being too collaborative.
今天我想談談過度合作的危險。
Being a good team player is an essential skill in our modern workplace.
在現代職場中，成為一個優秀的團隊合作者是一項必備技能。
The ability to work well with others and collaborate on projects is a sought-after ability in nearly every position.
與他人之間良好合作的能力以及在項目上的合作能力幾乎對于任何一種職業來說都很受歡迎。
However, placing too much emphasis on being a good team player can negatively affect your career growth.
然而，過分強調團隊精神會對職業發展產生負面影響。
Don't be overly focused on gaining consensus. Don't be too concerned with the opinions of others.
不要過于專注于達成共識，不要太在意別人的觀點。
This can hinder your ability to make decisions, speak up and gain recognition for your individual skills and strengths.
因為這可能會阻礙你自己做出決定。大聲說出自己的想法并讓自己的個人技能和優勢獲得認可。
Some people are too subordinate to others' opinions, too focused on decision consensus,
有些人在自己沒有時間和精力時過于服從別人的意見、過于專注于達成共識、
too silent about their own point of view, too agreeable to take things on when they don't have time or energy.
對自己的觀點過于沉默、過于順從。
This leads to building a brand of underconfident, submissive, low-impact non-leaders and hampers their growth and career advancement.
這就形成了一個缺乏自信、順從、低影響力的非領導者的形象，這阻礙了他們的成長和職業發展。
Collaboration certainly makes your individual competencies and contributions more difficult for outsiders to identify.
合作肯定會讓你自身的能力和貢獻更難以被外人發現。
Collaborative projects mean you're sharing the spotlight with others.
合作項目意味著你要和他人分享焦點。
Outsiders may then find it difficult to determine your contributions and strengths.
局外人可能會發現很難去評估你的貢獻和優勢。
This may end up costing you opportunities for promotions or pay raises.
這可能會讓你失去升職或加薪的機會。
You certainly shouldn't ditch teamwork, but how can you avoid the hazards of being an over-collaborator?
當然，你也不應該放棄團隊合作，但是怎樣才能避免過度合作的危險呢？
Working in a team can have huge benefits. Your team may have repeated successes and often gain recognition.
在一個團隊里工作有很大的好處，你的團隊可能已經多次取得成功并經常獲得認可，
You then have more opportunities to expand your professional network than if you worked alone.
與獨立工作相比，你能有更多的機會來擴展自己的職業網。
However, finding a balance between team efforts and individual projects that give you independent recognition
但是，你要在團隊的努力和個人的付出之間找到一個平衡，讓自己也能夠得到獨立的認可，
is important for making a name for yourself and providing opportunities for advancement.
這對于你揚名和獲得晉升機會是很重要的。
Be selective in who you work with. This will maximize the benefits and minimize the downsides of being a team player.
有選擇性地去選擇和你一起工作的人，這將使得團隊成員的利益最大化、缺點最小化。
Collaborate with people who have complementary expertise. Select projects where there's potential for mutual benefit.
選擇和自己具有互補技能的人合作。選擇有互惠互利潛力的項目。
Perhaps you're bringing your unique knowledge and gaining access to someone else's professional network, or maybe you're able to learn a new skill by working with someone.
也許你帶來了自己特殊的知識并獲取了進入別人的專業網的渠道，或者也許你能夠通過與某人共事來學習到一項新技能。
Seek out your teammates purposefully rather than jumping on every new group project opportunity.
有目的地尋找自己的隊友，而不是每一個新的團隊項目機會都不放過。
When we're too collaborative, we want everyone to agree with a decision before we proceed.
當我們過度合作時，我們希望在進行之前每個人都能對某個決定達成一致。
This can create unnecessary delays as you hold meetings trying to achieve consensus.
這會造成不必要的延誤，因為你會開會來試圖達成共識。
It's fine to be collaborative when seeking input.
在尋求意見的時候，合作是好的。
But put a deadline on the input stage and arrive at a decision, even if it's a decision that doesn't have consensus.
但是要在輸入階段設定一個截止日期并做出決定，即使這個決定沒有達成統一。
