Companies have long valued military experience in hiring. Hollywood has for decades valorized military leaders as the ultimate examples of strength. But now corporate executives are actually play-acting as military members.
长期以来,公司在招聘时一直很重视军事方面的经验
Hundreds of companies are turning to unorthodox programs that use fighter pilot simulations, military principles and even NASCAR pit stop techniques to train business executives on responding to uncertainty and flux.
数百家公司正求助于非传统项目,这些项目使用战斗机飞行模拟、军事原则,甚至纳斯卡赛车维修技术来培训企业高管,教他们如何应对不确定性和变化
Women can and do participate in these trainings, but many of the companies offering them are run by men -- a source of concern for some management experts, who say workers are looking for more empathic leadership styles, not hyperaggressive ones.
女性可以也确实参加了这些培训,但提供培训的许多公司都是由男性经营,这让一些管理学专家感到担忧,他们称员工在寻求更具同理心的领导风格,而不是过于咄咄逼人的领导风格
The share of Fortune 500 companies run by women only just crept over the 10 percent mark this year. "I don't think it aligns with what most people say they're looking for in a leader, which is human-centric, empathetic, collaborative," Ms. Yost added.
在财富500强企业中,由女性经营的公司所占比例今年才刚刚超过10%
I spent two hours doing my own F35 flight simulation through a company called the Squadron, which has an office in the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. I put on a jumpsuit, sat behind a simulator and tried to navigate a fighter plane around Lake Mead, near Las Vegas.
我通过一家名为中队的公司,花了两个小时亲身体验了F35飞行模拟,这家公司在曼哈顿下城的世贸中心设有办公室
The Squadron team told me I should be aiming to crash no more than two times. I crashed five times. A trainer had explained preflight that crashing isn't all bad: "If you didn't crash, what's the cost? You didn't take any chances."
中队的人跟我说,我的目标应该是坠毁次数不超过两次
Five crashes also wasn't ideal. Another Squadron trainer advised me: "Plan better and know which targets you want to take. Planning is big money for you."
但坠机五次也不是很理想
Walking around the Squadron's office, I met Tal Kerret, president of Silverstein Properties, which controls the lease on the World Trade Center site. He told me he had completed the F35 simulation and encouraged his employees to do the same.
我在中队的办公室里闲逛时,遇到了兆华斯坦地产公司的总裁塔尔·科雷特,该公司控制着世贸中心地段的租约
"I need my team to perform under pressure," Mr. Kerret said, explaining the stress of owning corporate real estate in New York City right now, as the industry endures its own crash driven by remote work. "We live in a world of risk. When you buy a property, when you develop a property, it's an impossible thing to do something with zero risk," he told me.
"我需要我的团队有抗压能力,"科雷特说,他解释了目前在纽约市经营面向企业的房地产业务的压力,因为房地产行业本身也承受着远程办公带来的打击
For clients of Afterburner and the Squadron, the experience of going on a fighter jet mission is not really the point. What's more important is the debrief that follows the mission, when teammates discuss their weaknesses and identify the causes of their mistakes, so they can avoid those errors going forward.
对于后燃机和中队的客户来说,执行战斗机任务的经历并不真的重要
"We come back after a mission and ask ourselves, 'Hey, what did we set out to achieve today?'" Mr. Boucousis said.
"我们执行完任务回来后会问自己,‘嘿,我们今天定的目标是什么?'"布库西斯说
