Thank you.

Beyond boundaries.
超越界限。
What a theme, huh?
这个主题真是够特别的,不是吗?
Now, when I think of boundaries, I think of rules, regulations, and restrictions.
现在,当我想到“界限”这个词时,我首先想到的是规则、法规以及各种限制。
And I think of the parents, and the teachers, and the supervisors, who hold us accountable with regard to those boundaries.
我想到了那些父母、老师和管理人员,他们要求我们严格遵守这些规则和界限。
That's not a bad thing.
这并不是坏事。
Yeah, I know, if you're like me, I need supervisors, I need someone holding me accountable to do the right thing.
是的,我知道:如果你和我一样,那么你就需要上级的监督,需要有人来确保你按照正确的方式行事、并对自己的行为负责。
But beyond boundaries is something different.
但是,当超越了那些界限之后,情况就有所不同了。
I think of those leaders, those teachers, those supervisors, those parents who inspire us to go beyond the call of duty,
我想起那些领导者、教师、主管以及家长们,是他们激励我们超越自己的职责要求,去做出更多的努力。
to do more than we have to, to do it not because they tell us, but because we want to.
去做超出我们职责范围的事情;不是因为别人要求我们这么做,而是因为我们自己愿意去做。
I would like to share with you what the research says about how to make that happen.
我想和大家分享一下相关研究对于如何实现这一目标的看法。
And not just for other people, but for yourself.
这不仅仅是为了别人,也是为了你自己。
Here is the deal, how could we inspire people and ourselves to be self-motivated?
事情是这样的:我们该如何激励他人以及自己,让他们具备自我驱动力呢?
There is another word.
还有另一个词。
It's called "empowerment".
这就是所谓的“赋能”(即赋予他人力量或能力)。
You've heard that word, right?
你肯定听说过这个词,对吧?
Now, the management definition of empowerment is, "Get it done.
现在,管理层对“授权”(empowerment)的定义是:“确保任务能够顺利完成。
Just get it done.
只要把事情完成就行了。
With fewer resources and less time, I empower you, make it happen."
面对更少的资源和更有限的时间,我依然会支持你们,帮助你们实现目标。
I'm talking about feeling empowered.
我指的是那种感到自己被赋予了力量(或权力)的感觉。
That's different.
那情况不一样。
Feeling empowered is when you're self-motivated.
当你拥有自我驱动力时,就会感到自己充满力量(即觉得自己能够掌控自己的生活和决策)。
Now, if you want to know if you feel empowered, or if your child, your student, your worker feels empowered,
那么,如果你想知道自己是否感到有力量(即是否能够自信地面对各种挑战),或者你的孩子、学生、员工是否也感到有力量,
ask them three questions.
向他们提出三个问题。
If they say yes to these three questions, they will feel empowered.
如果他们对这三个问题的回答都是“是”,那么他们会感到自己拥有了更多的力量(或:他们会感到自己的能力得到了提升)。
And by the way, this is not based on common sense, this is based on research.
顺便说一下,这并不是基于常识,而是基于研究得出的结论。
But you've all been there, so it'll feel like common sense.
不过你们都应该有过类似的经历,因此这其实就像是常识一样,很容易理解。
Question number one: can you do it?
第一个问题:你能够做到吗?
Albert Bandura calls it self-efficacy.
阿尔伯特·班杜拉将这种现象称为“自我效能感”(self-efficacy)。
Do you believe you can do it?
你相信自己能够做到吗?
Do you have the time, the knowledge, and the training to do what we are asking you to do?
你是否有足够的时间、相关知识以及必要的培训,来完成我们要求你做的事情?
If you answer yes, good.
如果你回答“是”,那很好。
Second question: will it work?
第二个问题:这个方案真的可行吗?
Do you believe that what we're asking you to do, the process, will work?
你相信我们要求你做的事情(以及相关的流程)能够奏效吗?
Albert Bandura calls that response-efficacy: believing that the behavior would lead to the ultimate outcome.
阿尔伯特·班杜拉将这种心理机制称为“反应效能”(response efficacy),即相信某种行为能够带来预期的最终结果。
By the way, that takes education.
顺便说一下,这需要接受相应的教育才行。
We have to show them the data, we might show them some theory, we show them, teach them why this might work.
我们必须向他们展示相关数据,或许还会向他们介绍一些理论,并解释为什么这种方法可能会奏效。
I just used the word 'education'.
我只是用了“教育”这个词而已。
