??the charismatic corporate climber is a common target for resentment in office life. he—and research suggests men are particularly given to such narcissism—hogs the spotlight in meetings,?is adept at?grabbing undeserved glory, and?is a pro at?self-promotion. more often than not, he is the boss’s pet. but he rises on the back of another, unsung, corporate archetype: the competent, diligent but unexciting achiever.

?

在职场上，高调张扬、专心往上爬的人一般会招人厌憎。他（研讨标明男性一般更具有这种自恋特质）在会议上出尽风头，特别能邀功请赏，仍是自我推销的行家。他一般是老板的宠儿。但他是踩着公司里另一类不起眼的人提升的——那些精干、勤勉但低沉的人。

?

studies find that plenty of confident egomaniacs, unsuited to the subtleties of management, get a leg-up for being, well, confident egomaniacs. companies disproportionately promote narcissists. perhaps a fifth of chief executives fit the description, researchers have found, a far higher proportion than within the wider population. self-absorbed ceos can sap morale and, evidence suggests, produce poor financial results.

?

研讨发现，许多自傲的极点利己主义者不合适做奇妙的打点作业，他们被扶上马靠的正是做一个自傲的极点利己主义者。公司更多时分会提升自恋的人。研讨人员发现，大约五分之一的首席实施官归于这一类型，远高于在全体人员中的比例。自恋的ceo会冲击士气，而且有根据标明他们会发生糟糕的财务成果。

a strong case for the dull striver?was made by tomas chamorro-premuzic, a psychologist at university college london, in an article for the?harvard business review?in 2015 entitled “the best managers are boring managers”. understated competence does not intuitively scream leadership. many totemic bosses of the age, from bankers to tech founders, come with big egos, showy antics and volatile tempers. elon musk may be accused of many things.?dullness is not one of them.?

?

2015年，伦敦大学学院心思学家托马斯?查莫罗-普雷穆奇克在《哈佛商业谈论》上宣告了一篇题为《最佳的打点者都是无聊的打点者》的文章，有力地为无趣的斗争者供给了有力的例子。低沉的才能直觉来说并不能显示领导力。从银行家到科技公司创始人，这个年代的许多代表性的老板都非常自傲、爱夸耀、脾气浮躁。埃隆·马斯克可以会遭到许多指控，但愁闷不在其间。

?

even so, mr chamorro-premuzic argued, conscientious but unprepossessing characters tend to have little-noticed but precious advantages. they can be depended on to make decisions?calmly, manage teams?def

tly?and be emotionally mature. they deserve promotion ahead of co-workers with “flash and vision, and bold displays of confidence”.? the dull but diligent could be especially valuable now. as companies claim increasingly to prize soft skills, such as being able to communicate well with all sorts of people, emotionally intelligent workers ought to be in demand. a volatile business environment in which firms face problems from recession to climate change, pandemics and war, favours the steady leader.

?

尽管如此，查莫罗-普雷穆奇克先生认为，尽职尽责但不起眼的人物一般具有很少人留心但名贵的优势。他们镇定地做抉择，熟练地打点团队，情感老到。他们大约比“闪烁、有远见、斗胆体现自傲”的火伴更有资历升职。愁闷但勤勉的人如今可以特别有价值。跟着公司越来越注重软技能，比方可以与林林总总的人杰出交流的才能，高情商的职工理应很受等待。在骚动的商业环境中，公司面临着经济衰退、气候改变、盛行病和战争等疑问，平稳的领导者更受喜爱。

?

for all that, quietly competent types hoping for greater appreciation (and remuneration) should not sit still. to rise up the ranks, the boring would do well to raise their profiles, whether by speaking up in meetings or talking up their accomplishments. if they bag bigger jobs they will anyway need to master show-off things like glad-handing clients, chairing meetings and holding forth on strategy. though mr judge’s analysis revealed emotional stability and general diligence were crucial to managerial effectiveness, extrovert qualities such as sociability were also telling factors.

?

尽管如此，那些期望获得更高增值(和酬劳)的低沉精干的人不大约束手无策。要想升职，无聊的人最佳前进自个的形象，不管是在会议上讲话仍是谈论自个的作用。假定他们接手了更重要的作业，他们不管如何都需要掌控一些夸耀的技能，比方与客户友爱共处、掌管会议和宣告战略演说。尽管judge先生的分析闪现，心境平稳和一般的勤勉对打点功率至关重要，但外向的质量，如交际才能，也是有说服力的要素。
