Today I'd like to talk about the dangers of being too collaborative.
今天我想谈谈过度合作的危险。
Being a good team player is an essential skill in our modern workplace.
在现代职场中，成为一个优秀的团队合作者是一项必备技能。
The ability to work well with others and collaborate on projects is a sought-after ability in nearly every position.
与他人之间良好合作的能力以及在项目上的合作能力几乎对于任何一种职业来说都很受欢迎。
However, placing too much emphasis on being a good team player can negatively affect your career growth.
然而，过分强调团队精神会对职业发展产生负面影响。
Don't be overly focused on gaining consensus. Don't be too concerned with the opinions of others.
不要过于专注于达成共识，不要太在意别人的观点。
This can hinder your ability to make decisions, speak up and gain recognition for your individual skills and strengths.
因为这可能会阻碍你自己做出决定。大声说出自己的想法并让自己的个人技能和优势获得认可。
Some people are too subordinate to others' opinions, too focused on decision consensus,
有些人在自己没有时间和精力时过于服从别人的意见、过于专注于达成共识、
too silent about their own point of view, too agreeable to take things on when they don't have time or energy.
对自己的观点过于沉默、过于顺从。
This leads to building a brand of underconfident, submissive, low-impact non-leaders and hampers their growth and career advancement.
这就形成了一个缺乏自信、顺从、低影响力的非领导者的形象，这阻碍了他们的成长和职业发展。
Collaboration certainly makes your individual competencies and contributions more difficult for outsiders to identify.
合作肯定会让你自身的能力和贡献更难以被外人发现。
Collaborative projects mean you're sharing the spotlight with others.
合作项目意味着你要和他人分享焦点。
Outsiders may then find it difficult to determine your contributions and strengths.
局外人可能会发现很难去评估你的贡献和优势。
This may end up costing you opportunities for promotions or pay raises.
这可能会让你失去升职或加薪的机会。
You certainly shouldn't ditch teamwork, but how can you avoid the hazards of being an over-collaborator?
当然，你也不应该放弃团队合作，但是怎样才能避免过度合作的危险呢？
Working in a team can have huge benefits. Your team may have repeated successes and often gain recognition.
在一个团队里工作有很大的好处，你的团队可能已经多次取得成功并经常获得认可，
You then have more opportunities to expand your professional network than if you worked alone.
与独立工作相比，你能有更多的机会来扩展自己的职业网。
However, finding a balance between team efforts and individual projects that give you independent recognition
但是，你要在团队的努力和个人的付出之间找到一个平衡，让自己也能够得到独立的认可，
is important for making a name for yourself and providing opportunities for advancement.
这对于你扬名和获得晋升机会是很重要的。
Be selective in who you work with. This will maximize the benefits and minimize the downsides of being a team player.
有选择性地去选择和你一起工作的人，这将使得团队成员的利益最大化、缺点最小化。
Collaborate with people who have complementary expertise. Select projects where there's potential for mutual benefit.
选择和自己具有互补技能的人合作。选择有互惠互利潜力的项目。
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.
也许你带来了自己特殊的知识并获取了进入别人的专业网的渠道，或者也许你能够通过与某人共事来学习到一项新技能。
Seek out your teammates purposefully rather than jumping on every new group project opportunity.
有目的地寻找自己的队友，而不是每一个新的团队项目机会都不放过。
When we're too collaborative, we want everyone to agree with a decision before we proceed.
当我们过度合作时，我们希望在进行之前每个人都能对某个决定达成一致。
This can create unnecessary delays as you hold meetings trying to achieve consensus.
这会造成不必要的延误，因为你会开会来试图达成共识。
It's fine to be collaborative when seeking input.
在寻求意见的时候，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.
但是要在输入阶段设定一个截止日期并做出决定，即使这个决定没有达成统一。
