在此,我们特意邀请了创新奖团队和改变奖团队的成员,谈<br />
谈他们2008年的挑战与收获。<br />
2008年,<strong>GE</strong>医疗中国无锡P-Tech团队在9个月内研发了一款面<br />
向农村市场的高质量、低成本的超生产品,并在中国上市后的<br />
第一个季度就创造了1000台的销售量。随后此款产品在全球农<br />
村医疗市场推出,在2008年一举创造了1500万美元的销售额。<br />
在经济危机的影响下,该团队还能够在如此短的时间内研发出<br />
一款全新的产品,获得如此成功,<strong>GE</strong>医疗中国临床系统团队的<br />
副总裁和总经理郑萍将其成功秘诀归结为三点:“首先,我们<br />
的团队不仅致力于技术,还十分贴近市场,了解市场的需要,<br />
这样才能制造出满足市场需要的产品;同时,我们的每位成员<br />
都很有创新精神,思维也很开阔。我们的中心思想是‘我们<br />
能’,我们始终相信能够达成目标;最后也是最重要的,大家<br />
都十分努力,是每个人的坚持和努力才让一切成为可能。”<br />
“我始终相信只要肯努力,并且了解市场的需要,就一定会获<br />
得认可和成功。” 对于这次能够获得创新奖,郑萍这样说道。<br />
“我们处在发展机遇最多的中国市场。”对于<strong>GE</strong>医疗未来在中<br />
国的发展,郑萍显得信心满满:“我们称当前为‘中国的时<br />
代’,因为全世界都在关注中国,在这里有无限可能。尤其对<br />
于中国的医疗市场,现在只是一个开始,相信在接下来的几年<br />
我们会发现更多的机遇。”<br />

在2008年,<strong>GE</strong>能源杭州供应链团队完成了从水电工厂到<strong>GE</strong>能<br />
源集团零部件生产厂的转变,并成功引进了全新颜巴赫内燃机<br />
产品线,创造了850万美元的利润,实现了2003年<strong>GE</strong>收购水电<br />
工厂以来的第一次盈利。<br />
谈起这次成功的转变,工厂的工会主席朱鸿将成功归结为全体<br />
员工的支持和参与:“我们建立了日程管理体系,让员工把需<br />
要反映的问题写下来,然后由领导层每天去车间审视并及时解<br />
决问题。同时,我们还建立了个人建议体系,树立员工的主人<br />
翁意识,让大家提出自己的建议,一起努力融入<strong>GE</strong>。”<br />
“想要调动员工的积极性和参与度,领导层需要和员工产生<br />
互动。”工厂总工程师李美龙说道,“领导层应该认真倾听<br />
员工的意见和需要,并且及时做出反馈,让员工感受到自己<br />
是集体的一员,这样他们自然就愿意理解和参与到公司的运<br />
作中来。”<br />
对于<strong>2009</strong>年即将面对的挑战,朱鸿表示,“我们会继续发动全<br />
体员工参与,发挥技术和文化优势,努力降低成本,以在市场<br />
中占据有利位置。我们这次的转变很成功,也获得了认可,让<br />
我们认识到在瞬息万变的环境下,只有勇于改变才能顺应形<br />
势,才能取得成功。”<br />

Meet<strong>in</strong>g Held <strong>in</strong> Shanghai<br />
On the annual Ch<strong>in</strong>a Leadership Meet<strong>in</strong>g held on February 18 th,<br />
more than 200 Greater Ch<strong>in</strong>a bus<strong>in</strong>ess leaders gathered <strong>in</strong><br />
Shanghai, look<strong>in</strong>g back on 2008 achievements and discuss<strong>in</strong>g<br />
about <strong>GE</strong>’s challenges and opportunities <strong>in</strong> <strong>2009</strong>. John Rice, Vice<br />
Chairman, President & CEO of <strong>GE</strong> Infrastructure, Nani Beccalli,<br />
President & CEO of <strong>GE</strong> International, Karan Bhatia, Vice President,<br />
International Government Relations & Policy, Steve Fludder, Vice<br />
President, Ecomag<strong>in</strong>ation, and Mark Norbom, CEO and President<br />
of <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a attended the meet<strong>in</strong>g, delivered speeches, and<br />
jo<strong>in</strong>ed the panel discussions.<br />
2008 has been a good year <strong>for</strong> <strong>GE</strong> <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a despite of the<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ancial crisis. Includ<strong>in</strong>g the capital bus<strong>in</strong>esses, <strong>GE</strong> <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a grew<br />
11 percent with total revenue of USD 4.64 billion. <strong>GE</strong>’s <strong>in</strong>frastruc-<br />
ture bus<strong>in</strong>esses achieved a growth of 31 percent year-on-year<br />
with total revenue of USD 3.3 billion by secur<strong>in</strong>g major deals<br />
while build<strong>in</strong>g stronger partnerships with governments, and<br />
customers <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a. As a worldwide Olympic partner, <strong>GE</strong> and<br />
NBC achieved total revenue of USD 1.7 billion <strong>in</strong> advertis<strong>in</strong>g, and<br />
<strong>in</strong>frastructure sales. We were an important part of the Beij<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Olympics, hence, <strong>GE</strong> enjoys a well-recognized, and respected<br />
brand.<br />
With the global recession, Ch<strong>in</strong>a is the silver l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong> <strong>GE</strong>. “This is<br />
not the first time <strong>GE</strong> has experienced a down cycle <strong>in</strong> its<br />
130-year history. <strong>GE</strong> won’t be so successful without always<br />
keep<strong>in</strong>g an eye on the big picture, and keep<strong>in</strong>g the company<br />
safe,” said Mark Norbom, CEO and President of <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a. “In<br />
Ch<strong>in</strong>a, <strong>GE</strong> has built a solid foundation, which the company can<br />
now leverage, and grow from. We will work through the tough<br />
times. All we need to do is execute!”<br />
To achieve significant competitive advantage <strong>in</strong> technology and<br />
<strong>in</strong>novation, and areas where cont<strong>in</strong>ued strong growth can still be<br />
found, the current successful <strong>in</strong>dustrial model should be<br />
susta<strong>in</strong>ed, and at the same time, the focus on key <strong>in</strong>itiatives<br />
should be cont<strong>in</strong>ued. Hence, <strong>GE</strong> will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to build on the<br />
success <strong>in</strong> ecomag<strong>in</strong>ation, the revenue of which grew from USD<br />
446 million <strong>in</strong> 2007 to USD 797 million <strong>in</strong> 2008, led by the strong<br />
growth of Aviation, Energy, Transportation, and Water.<br />
S<strong>in</strong>ce work<strong>in</strong>g with the governments is critical to <strong>GE</strong>’s bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
success <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a, to view the government as a partner, and as<br />
<strong>GE</strong>’s most important customer is the key strategy, and also the<br />
ma<strong>in</strong> topic discussed at the meet<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

张丹和张昊的成长故事<br />
歌德将花样滑冰称作“运动的诗”,而我们就是冰上的诗人。<br />
在这项结合了优雅、力量与技巧的运动中,卓越与完美是我们<br />
偏执的追求。当一曲终了,掌声响起之时,我们渴望的不仅仅<br />
是荣誉,还有一段不可复制的冰上传奇。<br />
我和张丹的成长故事,与<strong>GE</strong>的各位朋友共享。<br />
龙的传人<br />
2006年2月14日晚,都灵帕拉维拉体育馆,《龙的传人》进行<br />
到38秒,我把张丹高高抛出,期待着她像一支轻盈的燕子般稳<br />
稳落地,就如同她在无数训练中完成的一样。不到一秒的时<br />
间,我看到张丹落地时双腿外劈,左腿膝盖猛然磕向冰面。我<br />
的脑子一片空白……她强忍着起身,但巨大的疼痛似乎已让她<br />
无法继续滑行。<br />
滑,还是不滑?我们需要在2分钟内做出决定。动作没有成<br />
功,希望似乎在瞬间破灭,冰面上的气氛,降到了冰点以下。<br />
谁来做出决定?“行,一定要坚持下去!”张丹只用了1分钟<br />
就告诉了我她的选择。毫无疑问,做出这个决定的不是她的身<br />
体,而是她的意志!<br />
张丹回过头,又滑向了她摔倒的地方。音乐重新响起,满场掌<br />
声如雷。张丹和我沉浸在音乐与动作中,在剩下的时间里,我<br />
们要做的就是让自己和观众忘掉那痛苦的一幕。我感觉就像上<br />
了战场,这套动作难度很大,<br />
又经过这个意外,我的体力<br />
已经几乎消耗殆尽,以至于<br />
最后一个托举时都感觉举不<br />
起来了。是《龙的传人》,<br />
是我那小巧柔弱却又无比坚<br />
强的舞伴,给了我完成比赛<br />
的力量。<br />

场边的“吻哭台”上,队<br />
医为张丹裹上冰袋和厚厚<br />
的绷带。掌声再度响<br />
起,我们不仅为中国花<br />
样滑冰队收获了一枚历<br />
史性的银牌,也收获<br />
了一份成熟。<br />
伤病<br />
都灵冬奥会以后的06-07赛季,是一段灰色的回忆。张丹的伤<br />
病使她始终无法回到最佳状态,而我们在一些关键的比赛中,<br />
也出现了明显的失误。2006年3月的世锦赛中,我们在短节目<br />
排名第一的大好形势下,在自由滑节目中出现失误,失去了到<br />
手的冠军;2007年的世锦赛中,我们又因为短节目的失常发挥<br />
而跌出前三。<br />
最严重的情况出现在2006年12月的俄罗斯花滑大奖赛总决赛。<br />
比赛一结束,张丹就被送进医院接受治疗,最初的诊断是过度<br />
疲劳。回国后,她的心脏出现了心律不齐的症状,需要积极的<br />
治疗和休息,无法进行大强度的训练。因为这个原因,我们放<br />
弃了2007年的亚洲冬季运动会。<br />
伤病就如同是运动员的必修课,是每一位世界冠军为成长所付<br />
出的代价。我想伤病之于运动员,就像是经济危机之于企业一<br />
样。只有乐观的面对和积极的态度,才能克服困难,迎来转<br />
机。在那段艰难的日子,我和张丹从来没有失去重返巅峰的信<br />
心。都灵的那一刻教会了我们坚持的意义,使我们更加清楚内<br />
心深处的力量有多么强大。短暂的蛰伏,让我们得以冷静思考<br />
面临的问题;离开赛场的日子,我们才明白自己对于这份艺术<br />
的挚爱是多么真诚。<br />
乘着歌声的翅膀<br />
2008年的一曲《神话》,让我和张丹收获了一枚世锦赛银牌。<br />
我们正在逐渐找为属于自己的冠军气质:鲜明的中国特色与高<br />
难度的抛跳动作。经历了2006的感动与2007的蛰伏,我和张丹<br />
走过了不平凡的成长历程。面对即将到来的2010年冬奥会,除<br />
了自信与期待,我们的心中也多了几分从容,也许这才是冠军<br />
的心态吧。<br />
作为短节目音乐的《乘着歌声的翅膀》,是我们最近的作品。<br />
它带给了我们2008年中国杯大奖赛冠军和<strong>2009</strong>年世锦赛银牌。<br />
希望我和张丹能乘着歌声的翅膀,在温哥华展现出中国人的自<br />
信与优雅,完成人生的又一重要旅程!<br />

Stories of Dan Zhang and Hao Zhang<br />
The famous German poet Goethe has referred to figure skat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
as “poetry <strong>in</strong> motion” -that skaters should be poets on the ice.<br />
Figure skat<strong>in</strong>g is a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of grace, strength, and skill,<br />
where perfection is the ultimate goal. When a per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
comes to an end, we expect not only to be honored, but to be<br />
compared to that of legends.<br />
I’m go<strong>in</strong>g to share with you the story of our journey and growth<br />
together.<br />
Descendants of Dragon<br />
February 14th, 2006: Tor<strong>in</strong>o Palavela Stadium. We were just at<br />
the 38th second <strong>in</strong> our per<strong>for</strong>mance “Descendants of Dragon” at<br />
the 2006 Olympic W<strong>in</strong>ter Games. I flung Dan Zhang high skyward<br />
<strong>for</strong> our first throw, expect<strong>in</strong>g her to land gracefully like a swallow<br />
as she always did. With<strong>in</strong> a second, I saw her land with her legs<br />
turned outward, her left knee hitt<strong>in</strong>g the ice. At that moment, my<br />
m<strong>in</strong>d went completely blank. She struggled to her feet, but I was<br />
not sure if she could cont<strong>in</strong>ue.<br />
With the atmosphere <strong>in</strong> the arena tense due to the fall, we had<br />
just a split second to make a decision whether or not to cont<strong>in</strong>ue.<br />
With great strength, Dan Zhang decided to push <strong>for</strong>ward, and<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ish out our per<strong>for</strong>mance. Undoubtedly, it was her m<strong>in</strong>d, not<br />
her body that made this decision.<br />
Turn<strong>in</strong>g around to the place where she had fallen, the crowd<br />
erupted <strong>in</strong>to applause as the music sounded aga<strong>in</strong>. We skated<br />
on, becom<strong>in</strong>g lost <strong>in</strong> the music, and our per<strong>for</strong>mance. We had to<br />
<strong>for</strong>get what had just happened, and push <strong>for</strong>ward. I acted as if I<br />
were on a battlefield. S<strong>in</strong>ce this rout<strong>in</strong>e was rather difficult, I felt<br />
so exhausted that I was not sure I could make the last lift. My<br />
delicate, yet strong-m<strong>in</strong>ded partner gave me the strength to<br />
complete it. As we left the ice, doctors tended to Dan Zhang.<br />
Applause sounded once more. With that per<strong>for</strong>mance we<br />
harvested not only a historic silver medal, but also maturity.<br />
Physical pa<strong>in</strong>s<br />
The season after the 2006 Tor<strong>in</strong>o Olympic W<strong>in</strong>ter Games was a<br />
lot of pa<strong>in</strong>ful memory. Dan Zhang had not been able to recover<br />
to top <strong>for</strong>m due to her <strong>in</strong>juries, and we had a number of disap-<br />
po<strong>in</strong>tments at key competitions. At the Championships <strong>in</strong> March<br />
2006, we came out first <strong>in</strong> the short programs, yet a miss <strong>in</strong> the<br />
free skat<strong>in</strong>g program prevented us from reach<strong>in</strong>g the crown. At<br />
the 2007 Championships, we did not even f<strong>in</strong>d ourselves <strong>in</strong> the<br />
top three due to our poor per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>in</strong> the short program.<br />
Our worst memory was at the Russia Figure Skat<strong>in</strong>g Grand Prix<br />
F<strong>in</strong>al <strong>in</strong> December 2006. As soon as our per<strong>for</strong>mance ended, Dan<br />
Zhang was taken to the hospital and was diagnosed with<br />
exhaustion. Once back <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a, her symptoms seemed to get<br />
worse. She had irregular heartbeat, and needed immediate<br />
medical treatment, and was told that she must take some time<br />
to rest. She was unable to participate <strong>in</strong> any <strong>in</strong>tense exercise, so<br />
we were not able to attend the 2007 Asia W<strong>in</strong>ter Games.<br />
Injuries are the cost every world champion must pay as part of<br />
the grow<strong>in</strong>g process. An <strong>in</strong>jury to an athlete is what economic<br />
crisis is to a nation. Optimism and clear th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g are the only<br />
ways to overcome difficulties. Dur<strong>in</strong>g those pa<strong>in</strong>ful days, we<br />
never lost our desire to become champions. The experience <strong>in</strong><br />
Tor<strong>in</strong>o showed us the importance of tell<strong>in</strong>g ourselves that no<br />
matter what happened, we dig deep and through that, we<br />
became even more aware of the strength we possess. Through<br />
our rest period, we were able to reflect on our challenges and we<br />
came to realize our s<strong>in</strong>cere love of the sport of figure skat<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Fly<strong>in</strong>g with the w<strong>in</strong>gs of music<br />
In 2008, we won a silver medal <strong>in</strong> the Championships <strong>for</strong> our<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance, “Fairy”. As world champions, we are constantly<br />
look<strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong> unique skills which make our rout<strong>in</strong>es difficult, while<br />
also <strong>in</strong>tegrat<strong>in</strong>g Ch<strong>in</strong>ese thematics <strong>in</strong>to our per<strong>for</strong>mances. After<br />
the un<strong>for</strong>gettable memories <strong>in</strong> 2006 and 2007, we have both<br />
grown through our experiences. Now, with the Vancouver 2010<br />
Olympic W<strong>in</strong>ter Games around the corner, we f<strong>in</strong>d ourselves<br />
dedicated and confident, but also with an overwhelm<strong>in</strong>g sense<br />
of calm. Perhaps this is what a champion should have? The song<br />
“Fly<strong>in</strong>g with the w<strong>in</strong>gs of music” goes with our latest short program.<br />
With this rout<strong>in</strong>e we earned the gold medal at the 2008 Cup of<br />
Ch<strong>in</strong>a and silver at the <strong>2009</strong> World Championships. I hope we<br />
can display our confidence and grace <strong>in</strong> Vancouver and complete<br />
another important journey <strong>in</strong> our lives with the w<strong>in</strong>gs of music.<br />

<strong>GE</strong>中国导师项目:<br />
跨集团的交流,指点职场迷津<br />
<strong>GE</strong>中国导师项目是<strong>GE</strong>中国的一个全新尝试,旨在通过有效的“导师”机制,进一步培养和发展人才。通过该项目,受辅导的员工<br />
不仅能进一步清晰自己的职业发展道路,提高自己的专业技能,更能增加对公司不同业务部门和领域的了解。从导师和员工人选<br />
的确定,到双方通过专门的网上系统结成对子,再到上海、北京、香港三地同时举行的培训暨见面会,以及之后的定期考察,<strong>GE</strong><br />
中国导师项目的设置非常系统化。该项目中的导师都是公司不同业务部门中经验丰富的经理,并且非常愿意和他人分享成功的经<br />
验以帮助他们进一步成长。该项目自去年11月启动以来,共有约90对导师和他们辅导的员工们以各种方式进行着辅导活动。<strong>GE</strong>中<br />
国导师项目的组织者<strong>GE</strong>中国人力资源部也收到了很多积极的反馈。<br />
在本期杂志中,我们特别邀请到了五位导师代表,分享他们参与<strong>GE</strong>中国导师项目的经历和感想,以使大家能更多地了解这个项<br />
目,并能给大家的职业发展带来一些启发。这五位导师是:<strong>GE</strong>油气集团大中华区总裁刘波、<strong>GE</strong>医疗集团医学诊断部中国区总经理<br />
钱伟佳、<strong>GE</strong>中国战略规划与市场发展总监、中国长江三角洲地区总经理沈伟、<strong>GE</strong>运输系统市场及业务发展中国区总经理向伟明,<br />
以及<strong>GE</strong>能源集团服务中国区总经理许欣。<br />
刘波:<strong>GE</strong>油气集团大中华区总裁<br />
Bo Liu: President of <strong>GE</strong> Oil & Gas,<br />
Greater Ch<strong>in</strong>a<br />
问: 作为一名高级经理,您的日常事务已经非常繁忙,是什么推动您坚持辅导这些员工?<br />
刘波: 导师机制是培养和发展人才、投资未来的一个非常有效的方式。我已经把培<br />
养人才当成自己的业务来做,我希望通过这个项目分享自己一路走来的收获<br />
和心得。在日常工作中,我也时常和身边的员工进行这样的交流。<br />
钱伟佳: 我在日常的工作中就经常去倾听员工的意见和遇到的问题,也会为他们提出<br />
自己的意见。能用自己的经验来辅导员工,帮助他们解决问题,令我很开心<br />
也很有成就感。这种辅导不仅在导师项目中,而更多在平常工作中。<br />
沈伟: 作为<strong>GE</strong>人,不管你处在职业发展的哪个阶段,都有互相帮助的义务。能够用<br />
自己的经验为别人解答疑惑,我认为非常有意义。<br />
向伟明: 我自己曾参加过<strong>GE</strong>的导师项目并有过几个导师,在对业务的了解和个人职业<br />
发展方面都得到了很好的启发,所以我希望自己现在也能通过<strong>GE</strong>中国导师项<br />
目帮助他人成长。之前我也担任过ECLP、HRLP等领导力项目的导师,积累<br />
了一些辅导经验,来自学员们的积极反馈给了我很大的成就感,也让我更有<br />
动力继续为员工提供指导。<br />
许欣: 我之前也参加过<strong>GE</strong>的导师项目,从导师身上我学到了很多宝贵的东西。他们<br />
当时给我的建议都非常受用,其中一些经典的管理理念我现在仍然用在管理<br />
我的团队上。所以,我希望自己也能给别人提供实用的指导,帮助他们进一<br />
步成长。<br />
问: 能否分享一下您和受您辅导的员工在交往过程中最难忘的一次辅导经历?<br />
沈伟:<strong>GE</strong>中国战略规划与市场发展总监、<br />
中国长江三角洲地区总经理<br />
Wei Shen: Director of <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Strategic<br />
Plann<strong>in</strong>g and Market<strong>in</strong>g, and General<br />
Manager of Yangtze Delta Region<br />
钱伟佳: <strong>GE</strong>医<br />
疗集团医学诊断部<br />
中国区总经理<br />
Weijia Qian: General<br />
Manager of Medical<br />
Diagnostics, <strong>GE</strong><br />
Healthcare Ch<strong>in</strong>a<br />
沈伟: 我最难忘的是一些需要轮岗的管理培训生在<br />
选择轮岗机会或是毕业后的岗位时来找我咨<br />
询。他们对每个轮岗任务都非常重视,而我以<br />
前也是从信息管理培训生项目毕业的,有过<br />
类似经历,因此非常能理解他们的想法。我<br />
根据自己以往的经验给他们提了很多建<br />
议,他们最后也都认清了自己的需要,做<br />
出了最适合自己发展的选择。<br />
向伟明: 一名我辅导的员工负曾经责组织一次重<br />
要的全球会议。之前她花了很多时间<br />
准备,但临场却没有控制好讨论时间,让<br />
会议推迟了很久才结束。会后她非常沮丧,立即给我打了电话。我首先肯定<br />
并鼓励了她,会议该讨论的话题都讨论到了,这并不是一次失败的会议,不<br />
要太自责;同时我也通过分享个人经验为她指出了以后在组织类似会议时可<br />
以改进的地方。后来这名员工特地向我道谢并告诉我,那次谈话对她的意义<br />
非常重大。<br />
问: 请对员工们提些建议,让他们都能利用导师项目更好地成长。<br />
钱伟佳: 建议员工应该主动找导师咨询。遇到导师日程冲突,可另约时<br />
间。经常会看到一些同事因为怕导师忙而不敢约谈,其实他们完<br />
全不应该有顾虑。凡是同意加入的导师,都愿意贡献时间去和员<br />
工交流看法。<br />
许欣: 一定要为和导师的交谈做准备工作,并要充分利用交谈的时间有<br />
建设性地去探讨问题。对于没有正式导师的员工来说,要学会<br />
“举手要求帮助”,在公司里要有可以去咨询意见的人。新员工<br />
也可以向自己的直接经理或人事经理要求导师辅导,这样可以很<br />
好地帮助新员工融入新的环境。<br />

Q: What advice you'd be giv<strong>in</strong>g to the mentees regard<strong>in</strong>g how to leverage<br />
the program to develop themselves?<br />
Q: Could you share with us an un<strong>for</strong>gettable mentor<strong>in</strong>g experience?<br />
Weim<strong>in</strong>g Xiang: Once a mentee was responsible to organize an important global meet<strong>in</strong>g. She spent much time on<br />
prepar<strong>in</strong>g, but failed to control the discussion time of attendees, which made the meet<strong>in</strong>g prolonged. She<br />
was very depressed and called me. I told her that she covered all the <strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>mation needed, so she didn’t<br />
have to blame herself. Then I shared my own experience with her to help her improve. Afterwards, she<br />
told me that our conversation was very mean<strong>in</strong>gful to her.<br />
Wei Shen: It impressed me a lot when some leadership program tra<strong>in</strong>ees consulted with me about choos<strong>in</strong>g their<br />
rotations. They attached much importance to every assignment, which I can understand well, s<strong>in</strong>ce I<br />
also used to be a tra<strong>in</strong>ee of IMLP. I gave them some suggestions accord<strong>in</strong>g to my own experience, which<br />
helped them realize their needs and choose the most appropriate rotation.<br />
Weijia Qian: Mentees should take <strong>in</strong>itiative to consult with mentors. If mentors' schedules are full, they can meet<br />
another time. There's no need <strong>for</strong> mentees to worry about mentors' busy schedules <strong>for</strong> anyone who<br />
choose to become a mentor is will<strong>in</strong>g to share.<br />
X<strong>in</strong> Xu: Mentees should do some preparation be<strong>for</strong>e talk<strong>in</strong>g to their mentors. And they should<br />
leverage the limited time to talk about constructive issues. As<br />
<strong>for</strong> employees without a mentor, they should learn to raise<br />
their hands and ask <strong>for</strong> help, and f<strong>in</strong>d some go-to persons <strong>in</strong><br />
the company. As <strong>for</strong> new employees, they can go to<br />
their l<strong>in</strong>e manager or HR manager to ask <strong>for</strong> a<br />
mentor, who can help them adapt to the new<br />
environment quickly.<br />
Q: Could you share some experience with other mentors to<br />
enhance the efficiency of mentor<strong>in</strong>g?<br />
X<strong>in</strong> Xu: Mentors can take <strong>in</strong>itiative to <strong>in</strong>vite mentees when their schedule is not so full. They can offer<br />
practical advice through similar case story tell<strong>in</strong>g. It is more important to help them learn to<br />
make right decisions.<br />
Weim<strong>in</strong>g Xiang: Mentors should build mutual trust with mentees through various ways of <strong>in</strong>teractions, such as<br />
experience shar<strong>in</strong>g, group d<strong>in</strong>ner, out<strong>in</strong>g, sports, etc. Also, mentors should do some necessary<br />
preparation be<strong>for</strong>e mentor<strong>in</strong>g. They ought to be a good listener to understand mentees’<br />
needs.<br />
Bo Liu: I will often pick up a topic be<strong>for</strong>e mentor<strong>in</strong>g. I teach them to solve problems <strong>in</strong> diversified<br />
ways, and analyze which is the best solution through case study. Mentors should selflessly<br />
share with mentees their experience. They should summarize the frequently asked questions<br />
and answers <strong>in</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess review meet<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong> order to leverage them <strong>in</strong> mentor<strong>in</strong>g. Mentors<br />
don’t have to be better than mentees <strong>in</strong> all aspects, so they should be objective when talk<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to mentees.<br />
Weijia Qian: Mentors should be honest when talk<strong>in</strong>g with mentees about their career development. They<br />
should be patient when listen<strong>in</strong>g to mentees, and help them to analyze issues from different<br />
aspects.<br />
Mentees have benefited a lot from <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Mentor<strong>in</strong>g Program, follow<strong>in</strong>g are their views about the program:<br />
A mentee <strong>in</strong> Chengdu: Through <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Mentor<strong>in</strong>g Program, we can communicate with people from different<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>esses, and get to know the company developments. The mentors pay much attention to mentees’ development,<br />
and have taken <strong>in</strong>itiative to organize many group activities. The mentors are very experienced <strong>in</strong> their bus<strong>in</strong>ess, and<br />
have given mentees very useful suggestions.<br />
A mentee <strong>in</strong> Shanghai: <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Mentor<strong>in</strong>g Program is a systematic program, which offers adequate knowledge and<br />
direction <strong>for</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g the Mentor<strong>in</strong>g Mechanism. I would like to thank <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a HR Team, who offered us such an<br />
excellent plat<strong>for</strong>m, and I am also thankful <strong>for</strong> the selfless mentors, who keep shar<strong>in</strong>g their precious experience with us.<br />
This year, <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Mentor<strong>in</strong>g Program will organize more tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, and shar<strong>in</strong>g activities, to achieve better per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
<strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Mentor<strong>in</strong>g Program’s long-term goal is to recruit more mentors to enable more employees to get<br />
guidance they need.<br />

2008 was a fruitful year. Look<strong>in</strong>g back to all the achievements<br />
reached last year, <strong>GE</strong> employees would never <strong>for</strong>get the people<br />
who gave them all the support. On December 13th, 2008, <strong>GE</strong><br />

was confronted with new challenges. I want to give my s<strong>in</strong>cere<br />
gratitude to my boss and co-workers, who gave me suggestions,<br />
and support to help me with the change.”<br />
In Shanghai, Peng Cui thanked his wife: “I became very busy after<br />

到你每天都只坐在电脑前。”所以我参加了第一个“培训<br />
培训师”课程,但反馈不佳。然而他仍然很信任我,并且提<br />
出与我联合执教。这使我清楚地认识到信任能够帮助一个人<br />
成长。当<strong>GE</strong>看到一个人的潜能时,<strong>GE</strong>会给他成长的机会。<br />
A: I started as an onl<strong>in</strong>e learn<strong>in</strong>g specialist without any<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g background. One day, Jeff Barnes, now as act<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Chief Learn<strong>in</strong>g Officer, Asia Pacific (<strong>for</strong>mer CLO, Ch<strong>in</strong>a), said<br />
to me, “Belle, I don’t want to see you sitt<strong>in</strong>g beh<strong>in</strong>d the<br />
computer all the time.” That started my first Tra<strong>in</strong>-the-<br />
Tra<strong>in</strong>er class, but the evaluation was bad. However, he<br />
didn’t lose his faith <strong>in</strong> me. Instead, he offered to co-teach<br />
with me. I saw clearly that how trust can help a person<br />
grow. When <strong>GE</strong> sees the potential <strong>in</strong> people, <strong>GE</strong> gives them<br />
the opportunity to grow.<br />

问: 作为培训者,您最大的优势是什么?<br />
Q: What is your biggest strength as a tra<strong>in</strong>er/facilitator?<br />
答: 能够发现人们的需要并有效地传达讯息。作为一名培训<br />
者,我必须公开、真实、简要地将讯息传达出去。当人们<br />
明白了你的要点,对你的信任度就会提高,培训体会也会<br />
随之加强。传达讯息的重点比讯息的多少来得重要。<br />
A: The capability to identify people’s needs, and effectively<br />
communicate the messages. By effectiveness, I mean, as a<br />
facilitator, I need to give simple messages, and communicate<br />
with an open heart, and genu<strong>in</strong>eness. When people<br />
fully understand your po<strong>in</strong>ts, they accept more, and the<br />
learn<strong>in</strong>g experience is enhanced. It’s more about communicat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the key po<strong>in</strong>ts rather than the richness of contents.<br />
问: 作为培训经理,您怎样让培训符合参与者的需要?您实践<br />
了哪些创新的想法?<br />
Q: As program manager, how do you tailor the program to<br />
the participants’ needs? What <strong>in</strong>novative th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g have<br />
you applied?<br />
答: 从myLearn<strong>in</strong>g的管理开始到新员工培训管理,我建立了对<br />
<strong>GE</strong>文化的基本了解和人际网络。在培训过程中,我时刻提<br />
醒自己要在实践中学习,以积累经验。学习和指导是<strong>GE</strong>培<br />
训的基础。进行培训时,我会根据以往的经验来推动经验<br />
分享和意见交流。<br />
A: Start<strong>in</strong>g with myLearn<strong>in</strong>g management and later NEO<br />
management, I gradually built up the fundamental<br />
understand<strong>in</strong>gs to <strong>GE</strong> culture, and my network. My<br />
experience was also expanded through learn<strong>in</strong>g, from<br />
practic<strong>in</strong>g. I always bare this <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d when manag<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
programs. Learn<strong>in</strong>g, and coach<strong>in</strong>g are the essence of <strong>GE</strong><br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. While runn<strong>in</strong>g a program, I apply all the experience<br />
<strong>in</strong> it and am able to facilitate experience shar<strong>in</strong>g, and ideas<br />
exchange.<br />
问: 作为一名培训者,您怎样提高自己?<br />
Q: How do you keep improv<strong>in</strong>g yourself as a tra<strong>in</strong>er/facilitator?<br />
答: 在今年1月克劳顿维尔的大会中,我受到了来自欧洲、中东、非洲及美国同事的启发。他们大胆提出自己的<br />
想法和意见。这为我设立了一个标杆。我希望能够在跨文化的经验交流中进步。尽管我们是专业培训人<br />
员,我们仍需要不断学习。一直以来,原<strong>GE</strong>全球克劳顿维尔领导力培训中心亚太区首席教育官(现<strong>GE</strong>能源<br />
亚太区高级人力资源经理)戴一楠不断地给予我支持,帮助我成长,让我的学习效率更高也更加有成效。<br />
A: In the Crotonville meet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> January this year, I was <strong>in</strong>spired by the colleagues from EMEA & US. They voiced out<br />
their thoughts, and spoke up. That was a benchmark <strong>for</strong> me. I would like to advance cross-culture experience<br />
shar<strong>in</strong>g. Though we are learn<strong>in</strong>g professionals, we also need to learn. And all the time, N<strong>in</strong>a Dank<strong>for</strong>t-Nevel,<br />
<strong>for</strong>mer CLO of Asia and Ch<strong>in</strong>a (now HR Director of <strong>GE</strong> Energy Asia), has been a great supporter to push me<br />
<strong>for</strong>ward, so that I learn faster, and more.<br />

别开生面的<br />
法务实习生培训<br />
<strong>GE</strong>中国自2004年3月起开始实行法务实习生项目,为实习生提<br />
供轮岗实习、职业发展培训和与资深律师分享经验的机会,以<br />
颇具特色的方式全面培养未来的法务人才。截至<strong>2009</strong>年2月,<br />
曾在<strong>GE</strong>中国法务部门工作过的实习生已超过80名。<br />
2008年10月15日,<strong>GE</strong>中国在上海张江高科技园区举办了一次别<br />
开生面的法务实习生培训课。培训于当天下午4点准时开始,<br />
由<strong>GE</strong>中国公共政策高级法务顾问冯建妹组织和主持。培训课的<br />
讲师均为各个部门的领导,包括亚太区法务总监史蒂夫 •马龙、<br />
公共关系总监李国威、<strong>GE</strong>中国战略规划与市场发展总监、中国<br />
长江三角洲地区总经理沈伟、<strong>GE</strong>金融商务金融集团合规经理李<br />
近宇、<strong>GE</strong> Fanuc智能平台的法律顾问奚敏洁等等。<br />
培训一开始,史蒂夫 •马龙就给实习生们上了生动而有趣的一<br />
课,讲述中西方的思维差异,让实习生们认识到了充分理解这<br />
种差异的重要性。<br />
紧接着,沈伟为大家详细介绍了<strong>GE</strong>的总体概况、发展状况、业<br />
务范围以及<strong>GE</strong>参与支持的奥运项目。实习生在深入了解公司的<br />
同时,也对跨国公司如何本土化、如何适应独具特色的中国市<br />
场有了感性的认识。<br />
李国威则给实习生讲解了<strong>GE</strong>的品牌战略和绿色创想。<strong>GE</strong>一直致<br />
力于研究和开发环保型产品以及绿色节能新产品,注重社会责<br />
任和环境保护。<strong>GE</strong>的绿色创想产品和技术,以及环保的理念给<br />
实习生留下了深刻的印象。<br />
诚信是<strong>GE</strong>文化的核心组成部分,大部分实习生都很好奇诚信<br />
这个抽象的概念是如何转化为员工日常工作的行为和理念的。<br />
李近宇结合事例为大家详细地讲解了<strong>GE</strong>的诚信制度,让实习生<br />
对诚信有了更深刻的理解。<br />
最后,奚敏洁就如何做好法务工作对实习生进行了培训,她将<br />
公司的法务工作形象地比喻成一台电脑的杀毒软件,虽然工作<br />
内容多种多样,但是工作目的始终是解决公司所遇到的各种法<br />
律问题,为公司的运转提供法律保障。公司法律顾问不仅仅应<br />
该懂得法律,也应该懂得公司的运营,擅长沟通和交流。同<br />
时,她也分享了很多工作技巧,令实习生受益匪浅。<br />
此次培训中,公司还邀请了曾在<strong>GE</strong>法务部门实习,现已就职于<br />
政府部门和律师事务所的“师兄师姐”们来为新实习生介绍工<br />
作经验,并且为他们提供丰富的就业信息。最后,实习生们与<br />
各位主讲人和“师兄师姐”就工作中的疑惑展开了热烈讨论,<br />
直到晚上9点半,大家才意犹未尽地离开,从而为这次培训划<br />
上了圆满的句号。<br />
参加培训的实习生们纷纷表示,此次培训课程覆盖面广、针对<br />
性强、实用性高,让他们学到了很多实用的知识和技能,也对<br />
<strong>GE</strong>有了较为全面的了解;同时,培训还提供了一个供新老实习<br />
生联系和交流的平台,让新实习生从前辈身上学到了很多很好<br />
的经验。<br />
A Useful Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g Class <strong>for</strong><br />
Legal Interns<br />
<strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a started its Legal Intern Program from March 2004.<br />
The program provided <strong>in</strong>terns with comprehensive tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gs<br />
on career development and work<strong>in</strong>g skills. By February <strong>2009</strong>,<br />
more than 80 <strong>in</strong>terns have worked <strong>in</strong> Legal Department of <strong>GE</strong><br />
Ch<strong>in</strong>a.<br />
On October 15 th, 2008, <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a held another tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g class <strong>for</strong><br />
legal <strong>in</strong>terns <strong>in</strong> <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Technology Park. The tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g class<br />
beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g at 4 p.m. was organized and hosted by Jianmei Feng,<br />
Public Policy Senior Counsel of <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a. All lecturers were<br />
leaders from different departments, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Steve Maloy,<br />
General Counsel <strong>for</strong> Asia Pacific Region, Geoff Li, Public Relations<br />
Director of <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a, Wei Shen, Director of <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a Strategic<br />
Plann<strong>in</strong>g and Market<strong>in</strong>g, and General Manager of Yangtze-Delta<br />
Region, George Lee, Compliance Manager of <strong>GE</strong> Capital<br />
Commercial F<strong>in</strong>ance, and Angell Xi, Legal Counsel of <strong>GE</strong> Fanuc.<br />
Steve Maloy first gave an <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>troduction to a book The<br />
Geography of Thought, which helped the <strong>in</strong>terns to better<br />
understand the culture differences between Ch<strong>in</strong>a and other<br />
western countries, and how this results <strong>in</strong> different th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Followed was Wei Shen, who gave a brief overview of <strong>GE</strong>, its<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>ess scope, and its Olympic projects. While hav<strong>in</strong>g a better<br />
knowledge of <strong>GE</strong>, the <strong>in</strong>terns also ga<strong>in</strong>ed a perceptual understand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
about how a mult<strong>in</strong>ational company can be localized,<br />
and how it serves Ch<strong>in</strong>ese market with its unique offer<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />
Geoff Li discussed <strong>GE</strong>’s brand strategy, and ecomag<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
<strong>in</strong>itiative. <strong>GE</strong> is always devoted <strong>in</strong>to research<strong>in</strong>g, and develop<strong>in</strong>g<br />
environmental friendly products, and pays close attention to<br />
corporate social responsibility, and environmental protection. <strong>GE</strong><br />
ecomag<strong>in</strong>ation products, and technologies left a deep impression<br />
on the <strong>in</strong>terns.<br />
Compliance is the core of <strong>GE</strong> culture. Many <strong>in</strong>terns were very<br />
curious about how compliance, as an abstract concept, could be<br />
practiced <strong>in</strong> employees’ daily work and th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g. George Lee then<br />
provided explanation us<strong>in</strong>g some real cases, which helped the<br />
<strong>in</strong>terns to better understand <strong>GE</strong>’s compliance.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>ally, Angell Xi gave a lesson on how to handle legal affairs <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>GE</strong>. She compared vividly the legal affairs to the anti-virus<br />
software - though the content varies, the purpose is always to<br />
solve the legal problems <strong>in</strong> a company, and safeguard the<br />
company’s operation. The legal counsel should have not only<br />
professional legal knowledge, but also good understand<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
the company’s bus<strong>in</strong>esses, and be good at communicat<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Meanwhile, she also shared some work<strong>in</strong>g skills, from which the<br />
<strong>in</strong>terns benefited a lot.<br />
In this tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g class, <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a also <strong>in</strong>vited some <strong>for</strong>mer legal<br />
<strong>in</strong>terns, who are now work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> government sectors, and law<br />
firms, to share their work experience with the new <strong>in</strong>terns. At<br />
last, the new <strong>in</strong>terns shared their views on work<strong>in</strong>g skills, and<br />
career development with the speakers, and <strong>for</strong>mer <strong>in</strong>terns. The<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g f<strong>in</strong>ished at 9:30 p.m. with great success.<br />
The <strong>in</strong>terns expressed that the tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g session was very<br />
comprehensive, practical, and useful. They learnt practical<br />
work<strong>in</strong>g skills, and ga<strong>in</strong>ed a comprehensive knowledge of <strong>GE</strong>;<br />
meanwhile, the tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g also provided a good plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> the<br />
new <strong>in</strong>terns, and <strong>for</strong>mer <strong>in</strong>terns to network with each other.<br />

职业加油站 Career Development<br />
Values Are the Cornerstones of Sound<br />
Leadership<br />
What is leadership? Recently, modern management expert, Peter Drucker said he believes the<br />
core pr<strong>in</strong>ciple of leadership is the art of how one behaves; <strong>in</strong>stead of how one gets th<strong>in</strong>gs done. As<br />
results, the ultimate factor that determ<strong>in</strong>es a person’s leadership capability is the <strong>in</strong>dividual’s<br />
character, and personality.<br />
What is <strong>GE</strong>’s Leadership? <strong>GE</strong>’s Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt said: “Leadership is a journey… It is a<br />
process of self-awareness, and self-renewal.”<br />
Self-awareness is the core to leadership development. Over the<br />
past few years, the most difficult question <strong>for</strong> <strong>GE</strong> colleagues to<br />
answer is “Who are you?”<br />
A: “I am XX.” (that’s just a name)<br />
B: “I am XXX manager from <strong>GE</strong> XX bus<strong>in</strong>ess” (that’s just a title)<br />
C: “I am married with one daughter.” (that’s just your personal<br />
status)<br />
Our personal values def<strong>in</strong>e who we are. Our values are the<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>ciples we follow <strong>in</strong> our daily activities. They are reflected<br />
everywhere <strong>in</strong> our behaviors, our thoughts, and ultimately our<br />
decisions.<br />
The Ch<strong>in</strong>ese idiom “Mencius’ mother mov<strong>in</strong>g three times” talks<br />
about Mencius’ mother who moved their home three times, just<br />
to choose the best environment <strong>for</strong> Mencius’ education. This is<br />
an excellent example of how values can guide people’s behaviors.<br />
Another Ch<strong>in</strong>ese idiom “To repay <strong>in</strong>justice with justice” describes<br />
how a person’s values guide his/her situational behaviors.<br />
Family, school, work place, society, and the people around us all<br />
play a key role <strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g our value system. So does the political,<br />
and social environment we live <strong>in</strong>. Meanwhile, our values will also<br />
change at different stages of our life.<br />
<strong>GE</strong>’s values have evolved <strong>in</strong>to today’s “Growth Values” after over<br />
a hundred years. In <strong>GE</strong>’s recent focus group discussions on<br />
Growth Values with mid level managers <strong>in</strong> several bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
groups, two questions were asked:<br />
1. How would you rank <strong>GE</strong>’s five Growth Values (External Focus,<br />
Clear Th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g, Inclusiveness, Imag<strong>in</strong>ation, and Expertise)<br />
based on the ef<strong>for</strong>ts needed <strong>for</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>ese leadership talents to<br />
acquire them?<br />
2. Can you please expla<strong>in</strong> how our traditional culture, education<br />
system, legal system, and our economic development<br />
impacted our values?<br />
Over 60% of the respondents have put Imag<strong>in</strong>ation, and<br />
Inclusiveness as the two most challeng<strong>in</strong>g Growth Values <strong>for</strong><br />
Ch<strong>in</strong>ese <strong>in</strong> general.<br />
This discussion helps us realize that our tradition, and culture<br />
have given us a structured, authoritative, and passive learn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
environment. We grew up <strong>in</strong> a system that imposed the<br />
management of centralization, and re<strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>ced many traditional<br />
views such as:<br />
“tell<strong>in</strong>g only 70% of what you’re th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g”<br />
“the gun always targets at the first bird land<strong>in</strong>g on the tree”<br />
This means we were discouraged from be<strong>in</strong>g courageous, from<br />
confidently tak<strong>in</strong>g risks, from communicat<strong>in</strong>g with others <strong>in</strong> a<br />
frank, and straight<strong>for</strong>ward way, extend<strong>in</strong>g our reach to people<br />
who are not <strong>in</strong> our <strong>in</strong>ner circle, and encourag<strong>in</strong>g other’s progress.<br />
Based on the learn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>GE</strong>’s Growth Values <strong>in</strong> <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a,<br />
the company has taken many actions over the past few years.<br />
We are help<strong>in</strong>g to build <strong>in</strong>dividual tailormade career development<br />
plans <strong>for</strong> our leadership talents, based on their <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />
leadership assessments. We have provided feedback on<br />
behavioral changes, and we have <strong>in</strong>creased, and strengthened<br />
coach<strong>in</strong>g, and mentor<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
It is also found that common behavioral development needs <strong>for</strong><br />
most of the leadership talents <strong>in</strong> <strong>GE</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a are:<br />
1. Influenc<strong>in</strong>g skills <strong>in</strong> the global context.<br />
2. Build<strong>in</strong>g capacity <strong>for</strong> motivat<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong>spir<strong>in</strong>g different people.<br />
3. Challenge current reality, and make the tough decisions.<br />
4. Executive Presence.<br />
Also, <strong>GE</strong> has held many leadership development programs <strong>in</strong><br />
Ch<strong>in</strong>a and throughout Asia; such as Asia EB Orientation, Ch<strong>in</strong>a EB<br />
Summit, Ch<strong>in</strong>a Executive Acceleration Program, Ch<strong>in</strong>a SPB<br />
Orientation, Asia Talent Forum, and Asia Female Talent Forum<br />
etc. In these programs, the company took on many new, and<br />
explorative approaches towards build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>GE</strong>’s Growth Values,<br />
and strengthen<strong>in</strong>g leadership behaviors, and we received a lot of<br />
positive feedback along the way.<br />
One manager shared his learn<strong>in</strong>g with us,<br />
“I was recently assigned to lead a new role, and a new team. I<br />
got more than 20 direct reports, and need to clean up many<br />
th<strong>in</strong>gs. I couldn’t see the end, even though I have given all my<br />
time, and many ef<strong>for</strong>ts to do it. Through this learn<strong>in</strong>g, I suddenly<br />
realized it was me who need to come up with a new solution to<br />
do this job. But, I actually have been mentally blam<strong>in</strong>g my team<br />
<strong>in</strong>stead, assum<strong>in</strong>g they should have perceived my thoughts from<br />
my behaviors even though I didn’t say it directly (to them).“<br />
Another manager said:<br />
“Actually we do have many new ideas. But we will not speak up<br />
directly. We tend to guess what our bosses would th<strong>in</strong>k of this<br />
proposal first, or if our proposal would harm any senior people’s<br />
benefit or <strong>in</strong>terest first.”<br />
The <strong>for</strong>mer Premier of France, Dom<strong>in</strong>ique de Villep<strong>in</strong>, said:<br />
“Today we are experienc<strong>in</strong>g a crisis that has never existed <strong>in</strong> the<br />
world’s history, and we are <strong>in</strong> the trans<strong>for</strong>mational times of<br />
world civilization. Today we need leaders who have the capabilities<br />
to reach these two conditions and make it better: first, to<br />
build a new relationship based on the historical, geographic, and<br />

在美国的第一次车祸<br />
人们总是说,在美国你的车就是你的腿,因为没有车你将寸步难行。因此,俞贝轶到<br />
达佛罗里达州的第一件事就是学开车。跟大部分的新手一样,俞贝轶迫不及待地想在<br />
其他的审计人员面前一展车技。这不,机会来了,俞贝轶很是兴奋。只见她一路顺风<br />
顺水,不一会就开过了好几个街区,车上的同事很快就呼呼大睡见周公去了。<br />
车子到达一个黄色指示灯的十字路口时,俞贝轶已经是笑靥如花了。放眼望去,除<br />
了一辆正要横穿马路的卡车外,周围一辆车都没有。俞贝轶在美国的驾龄虽然不长,<br />
但是她知道美国司机在黄灯时一般都不会继续前进的。但是看到刚才路况那么顺利,周<br />
围车又这么少,俞贝轶踩下了油门,继续朝前开。<br />
!@#$%^&*—……%<br />
俞贝轶傻眼了。她的车居然跟卡车相撞了!笑容在她脸上僵住了,她觉得自己的大脑已<br />
经完全罢工了。<br />
“我居然出车祸了,在离家千里之外的地方!”俞贝轶不住地对自己说。<br />
不一会,俞贝轶终于鼓足勇气,准备打开车门给卡车司机道歉。但是,卡车居然不见踪影,司机完<br />
全没有意识到他硕大的卡车与俞贝轶娇小的汽车相撞了。<br />
好在车上的同事都安然无恙,保险公司也承担了所有的维修费用。<br />
俞贝轶想对那些初学者说:“如果汽车是你的腿,你要照顾好自己的腿,尤其是在一个陌生的国家。”<br />
俞贝轶,2007年从CAS毕业,现任<br />

“我太热了!”<br />
七月是印度一年中最热的月份,赵霖被派往印度进行一个审计项目。周末他跟妻子打算去泰姬陵参观。泰姬陵沿途的白色大理石<br />
地面炙热滚烫,在烈日下闪闪发光。赵霖跟妻子全身都被汗水湿透了。更让人难受的是,在泰姬陵内,按照当地习俗,他们得脱<br />
下鞋光着脚走路。<br />
当时的地面温度大概有47℃,赵霖和妻子不得不踮起脚尖,像袋鼠一样一蹦一跳地前进。要是有辣椒的话,赵霖觉得自己的脚都<br />
可以做成一盘风味辣子猪手了。<br />
“可以跟你和你的漂亮妻子合个影吗?”一群印度人礼貌的上前问道。<br />
“当然可以!”赵霖爽快地一口答应,骄傲之情溢于言表。“我跟老婆果然<br />
都是俊男美女,在哪里都有粉丝!”赵霖心想。<br />

Ch<strong>in</strong>ese Food You Never Had<br />
It is almost universally known that Ch<strong>in</strong>ese food abroad is quite different from what it is with<strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a, but Wilson had never thought it<br />
would be so different.<br />
It all happened <strong>in</strong> Erie, when Wilson was on his first assignment with CAS. Erie is a little town famous <strong>for</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>g locomotives, and 10%<br />
of its population works <strong>for</strong> <strong>GE</strong>. One day, Wilson went out <strong>for</strong> lunch at a local Ch<strong>in</strong>ese restaurant called Ch<strong>in</strong>a Buffet with an American<br />
colleague. At the buffet, General Tso’s Chicken, Egg Drop Soup, and Moo Shoo Pork were served.<br />
After d<strong>in</strong>ner the waiter gave them a little cookie wrapped <strong>in</strong> a plastic bag. Wilson opened the bag and immediately put the cookie <strong>in</strong>to<br />
his mouth.<br />
“You eat the <strong>for</strong>tune too?” both the colleague and the waiter were very surprised.<br />
“Fortune?” It was then that Wilson felt someth<strong>in</strong>g odd <strong>in</strong> his mouth and spatted the cookie out.<br />
“You are Ch<strong>in</strong>ese, and you don’t know what a Fortune Cookie is?” They couldn’t believe it. A Fortune Cookie is a small cookie with a piece<br />
of paper <strong>in</strong> the middle that has life advice and lotto numbers. It’s a standard complimentary item <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>ese restaurants around U.S..<br />
但是不一会,赵霖就后悔了。为了拍好照,赵霖和妻子必须站着一动不<br />
“You’ll f<strong>in</strong>d the love of your life this year,” said the paper <strong>in</strong> Wilson’s cookie.<br />

Love Lost <strong>in</strong> Puerto Rico<br />
What would you like to do when you are <strong>in</strong> a <strong>for</strong>eign country? Most people would visit the historic sites or taste the<br />
delicious food, so did Joyce Yuan! One weekend on assignment <strong>in</strong> Puerto Rico, Joyce and her colleagues went on sightsee -<br />
<strong>in</strong>g. Joyce was so amused by the scenery alongside the road that when she turned back she was far beh<strong>in</strong>d her team. She<br />
walked at her quickest to catch up with them, but was suddenly stopped by a man <strong>in</strong> a uni<strong>for</strong>m when she tried to cross<br />
the street.<br />
“Blah, blah,” the man <strong>in</strong> uni<strong>for</strong>m said someth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a language Joyce did not understand.<br />
“Blah, blah.” repeated the man.<br />
Joyce couldn’t understand him; neither could she cross the street <strong>for</strong> him be<strong>in</strong>g there. So she smiled and responded: “I<br />
don’t understand!”<br />
The man looked at her and said more slowly, “You look so beautiful.”<br />
Out of surprise and shyness, Joyce ran away without say<strong>in</strong>g a word.<br />
What if she didn’t run away? Maybe this story would have a different end<strong>in</strong>g? Anyway, love lost is better than love never<br />
found.<br />
Teach<strong>in</strong>g My Father English<br />
Aaron’s father was visit<strong>in</strong>g U.S. <strong>for</strong> the first time, and Aaron had been prepar<strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong> the visit. He wrote a list of English words that his<br />
father would most probably need, <strong>for</strong> example, “Hot water, no ice”.<br />
One day Aaron had to attend a meet<strong>in</strong>g, so his father and mother decided to take a stroll to see the sights<br />
<strong>in</strong> Orlando, Florida. Dur<strong>in</strong>g the walk his father needed to use the restroom.<br />
“WC, WC,” his father asked the people walk<strong>in</strong>g by. In most countries WC refers to restroom, so<br />
his father assumed those two English letters also worked <strong>in</strong> the U.S.<br />
“WC?” He cont<strong>in</strong>ued to ask but everyone shook his or her head, hav<strong>in</strong>g no idea about what he<br />
was say<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
“Americans don’t understand English?” The father asked his son.<br />
“You should say restroom!” Aaron corrected his father.<br />
“Restroom, restroom”, his father repeated. The very next day, his father left the hotel to practice his new<br />
words.<br />
“You know one day your parents will get old and you’ll grow up. The th<strong>in</strong>g is that you never knew it<br />
was com<strong>in</strong>g so quickly. My father used to teach me ABC, but now I am teach<strong>in</strong>g my father<br />
English!” Aaron stated.<br />
It is never too late to love. Always remember to cherish your family.<br />
My First Car Accident<br />
There is a say<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>in</strong> the U.S. your car is your feet, s<strong>in</strong>ce you cannot live without a car <strong>in</strong> that country. When Jerrie arrived <strong>in</strong><br />
Florida, the first th<strong>in</strong>g she did was to learn how to drive. Like most new drivers, Jerrie was very excited when she was f<strong>in</strong>ally granted<br />
the honor to drive the team’s shared rental car. Her confidence tripled as she passed several blocks, and her passengers fell peacefully<br />
asleep.<br />
Then she came across a yellow traffic light at an <strong>in</strong>tersection. There were few cars on the road, and a truck was about to cross <strong>in</strong><br />
front of her. Be<strong>in</strong>g pretty sure that the truck driver would stop <strong>for</strong> her to go, Jerrie decided to keep on driv<strong>in</strong>g and stepped on the<br />
accelerator.<br />
Bang! Crash!<br />
Jerrie couldn’t believe it! The truck and her car collided. Jerrie was totally shocked.<br />
“I had a car accident, <strong>in</strong> a place thousands of miles away from my home,” Jerrie thought.<br />
Jerrie <strong>in</strong>tended to get out of the car and apologize to the truck driver, but the truck driver had already driven away as he had no idea<br />
Jerrie’s little car hit his big truck.<br />
The <strong>in</strong>surance company covered Jerrie’s car repair and everyone was all right.<br />
Jerrie advised to those who want to drive: “If your car is your feet, you should take better care of<br />
your feet, especially <strong>in</strong> a <strong>for</strong>eign country.”<br />
“It Is So Hot!”<br />
In the middle of July, dur<strong>in</strong>g the hottest month <strong>in</strong> India, L<strong>in</strong> Zhao and his wife were on their way to<br />
the Taj Mahal. The white marble floor felt like it was burn<strong>in</strong>g, and the reflection could bl<strong>in</strong>d your<br />
eyes. L<strong>in</strong> Zhao and his wife were drenched with sweat. To make th<strong>in</strong>gs worse, they had to take<br />
off their shoes and walk on bare feet while <strong>in</strong> the Taj Mahal.<br />
The temperature of the floor was around 47℃. L<strong>in</strong> Zhao and his wife had to tiptoe <strong>for</strong>ward like<br />
kangaroo. They thought their feet would make perfect spicy pig knuckles (a famous Sichuan dish)<br />
should there be hot pepper.<br />
“Can we take a picture of you and your beautiful wife?” A group of Indians politely asked.<br />
“Of course!” There was pride <strong>in</strong> L<strong>in</strong> Zhao’s voice that people noticed his wife was gorgeous.<br />
But soon L<strong>in</strong> Zhao was quite regretful <strong>for</strong> his decision. To take good pictures, L<strong>in</strong> Zhao and his wife were<br />
told to stand upright and still. Under the <strong>in</strong>tense sunsh<strong>in</strong>e and on the burn<strong>in</strong>g marble floor, how could<br />
one stand still? Their feet were burn<strong>in</strong>g! Whenever L<strong>in</strong> Zhao or his wife moved a little, the Indian friends<br />
would shout, “DON’T MOVE!”<br />
Sometimes there are <strong>in</strong>conveniences of be<strong>in</strong>g pretty.<br />

新春来临之际,<strong>GE</strong>中国人力资源服务中心分别在北京和上海组织了2场精彩纷呈的新年晚<br />
会。今年的主题是“同一个<strong>GE</strong>,同一个家”,共有超过800名来自6个业务部门的员工和<br />
他们的家人参加了晚会,一起度过了欢乐而温馨的一夜。<strong>GE</strong>大中华区总裁兼首席执行<br />
官罗邦民在上海的晚会上为大家送上了最诚挚的新年祝福,随后各业务部门的同事们也表<br />
演了他们精心准备的节目。今年的舞台上,同台表演的员工子女们无疑成为了最耀眼的<br />
明星,他们用童稚的歌声和欢快的舞蹈带给所有人以最纯真美好的新年祝愿。<br />
除了北京和上海,<strong>GE</strong>中国人力资源服务中心还根据各地情况为其他城市的同事们组织了各<br />
种各样的迎新活动。如在沈阳,6个业务部门的25名同事就欢聚一堂,一展歌喉,以歌声<br />
迎接新年的到来。<br />
无独有偶,继07年年末晚会《奇异西游》大获成功后,OTR(商务部)同事们<br />
抓住2008年“山寨”这个热门词,继续恶搞经典,令《山寨红楼》横空出世,<br />
为公司新年晚会带来了一片爆棚笑声,并众望所归摘得最佳创意奖。本来在外<br />
人看来是恶搞老板的演出,结果却让<strong>GE</strong>医疗(中国)集团总裁陈治看得开怀大<br />
笑,并亲自带着录像到广州晚会上去放,再度乐得前仰后合。<br />
与公司业务紧密结合不单纯为搞笑而搞笑是OTR节目的传统。借名著《红楼<br />
梦》的壳说自己的事,这可谓是山寨的最高形式:再创造。三周的剧本创作<br />
和小品排演工作,OTR几乎所有的人都参与了,无论幕前幕后,都很投入。<br />
《山寨红楼》再次引来巨大反响,大家除了争着看剧本、看录像之外,<br />
还非常关心<strong>2009</strong>年OTR准备恶搞什么名著:是《三国》呢还是《水<br />
浒》?无论哪一个,精彩是一定的,大家就拭目以待吧!<br />

of all the people.<br />
As the night fell on the beach, a wonderful show was ready to come! First<br />
came the Waltz from Fanuc. Graceful girls and handsome boys glided like<br />
couples of swans. And then came the musical comedy from Sens<strong>in</strong>g & IT. The<br />
show blended comic dialogue, danc<strong>in</strong>g, catwalk, and magic show <strong>in</strong>to one<br />
mixture. Funny costumes and exaggerated l<strong>in</strong>es elicited gusts of laughter from the audience.<br />

<strong>in</strong>to a humorous, contemporary stage play. In addition, F<strong>in</strong>ance team re-wrote the lyrics of the song<br />
“Cowboys Are busy”, and created a funny dance show “F<strong>in</strong>ance Is Busy”.<br />

wishes from Albert Wong, President of <strong>GE</strong> Enterprise Solutions: “The year of <strong>2009</strong> is a challeng<strong>in</strong>g year. But I<br />
wish every employee take the positive attitude to accept and overcome all the difficulties. Years later, when<br />

实用建议助您戒烟<br />
尼古丁:强大的成瘾性<br />
如果你曾试过戒烟,就会知道戒烟有多难,因为尼古丁非常容<br />
易令人上瘾。对一些人来说,它就像海洛因或可卡因一样能令<br />
人上瘾。戒烟是很难的,通常人们要做两三次,甚至更多次的<br />
努力,才能成功戒烟。每次尝试戒烟,你就会从中学到哪些方<br />
法是有帮助的,哪些是有害的。<br />
戒烟是辛苦的工作,要做许多努力,但是——你一定能做到!<br />
戒烟的好处:<br />
戒烟是一件至关重要的事,因为:<br />
• 戒烟后你将拥有更长的寿命和更高的生活质量。<br />
• 戒烟将帮你降低心脏病发作、中风或患癌症的风险。<br />
• 如果你怀孕,戒烟能帮助你生育一个健康的宝宝。<br />
• 和你一起生活的家人,特别是你的孩子,将会更健康。<br />
• 你可以省下买烟的钱去买更有意义的东西。<br />
戒烟的五个关键<br />
研究表明,以下五个关键步骤能帮助你戒烟并一劳永逸。如果<br />
你按照这五个步骤做,戒烟就一定能成功:<br />
1. 做好充分准备。<br />
2. 得到支持和鼓励。<br />
55 LIFE at <strong>GE</strong><br />
3. 学习新的技巧,做些不一样的事情。<br />
4. 正确采用药物治疗。<br />
5. 做好烟瘾复发或遇到其它困难的准备。<br />
1. 做好充分准备<br />
• 定一个戒烟的日期。<br />
• 改变你的环境。<br />
• 扔掉你家里、汽车里和工作场所中所有的香烟和烟灰缸。<br />
• 不要让别人在你家抽烟。<br />
• 回顾你过去尝试戒烟的经历。想一想哪些方法有效,哪些<br />
方法无效。<br />
• 一旦你戒烟了,就不要再抽烟了——一口烟也不要抽!<br />
2. 得到支持和鼓励<br />
研究表明,如果你得到帮助和支持,戒烟成功的可能性就会大<br />
大提高。你可以在许多方面得到支持:<br />
• 告诉你的家人、朋友和同事,你想要戒烟,并希望得到他<br />
们的支持。请他们不要在你周围抽烟,也不要给你烟抽。<br />
• 和健康保健人员进行交流(如医生、牙医、护士、药剂<br />
师、心理咨询师或戒烟顾问)。<br />
• 进行个人、团体或电话咨询。你咨询得越多,戒烟成功的<br />
可能性就越大。<br />
• 地方的医院和卫生所都有提倡戒烟的活动。给你所在地区<br />
的卫生部门打电话索取该活动的信息。<br />
3. 学习新的技巧,做些不一样的事情<br />
• 设法分散自己想抽烟的欲望。<br />
• 和某人交谈、一起散步,或专注于某个工作任务。<br />
• 开始尝试戒烟时,改变常规作息。走不同的上班路线。用<br />
茶代替咖啡。在不同的地点吃早餐。做一些能减轻你压力<br />
的事。洗个热水澡、健身或读本喜爱的书。<br />
• 每天计划做些令人愉快的事。<br />
• 大量喝水或其它饮品。<br />
4. 正确采用药物治疗<br />
• 药物治疗能帮助你戒烟,并减少吸烟的冲动。<br />
• 咨询健康保健人员并仔细阅读药品包装上的说明。<br />
• 药物治疗能令你的戒烟行动事半功倍。<br />
• 每个尝试戒烟的人都可以从药物治疗中获益。孕妇或准备<br />
怀孕、养育婴儿、年龄不满18岁、每日吸烟不超过10支或<br />
患有疾病的人,在采用药物治疗前必须先咨询你的医生或<br />
其它健康保健人员。<br />
5. 做好烟瘾复发或遇到其它困难的准备<br />
在戒烟后的最初3个月内会出现烟瘾复发的情况,不要因为你<br />
又开始抽烟了而气馁。记住,许多人在他们最终戒烟成功前都<br />
做过多次努力。这里有些情况需要引起注意:<br />
酒精: 避免饮酒。饮酒会减少你成功的可能性。<br />
其他吸烟者: 处在一个吸烟的环境中会令你想抽烟。<br />
体重增加: 许多吸烟者在戒烟时体重会增加,通常少于<br />
10磅。要建立一个健康的饮食习惯,保持活<br />
力。不要让体重增加转移你的主要目的——<br />
戒烟。一些戒烟的药物治疗能帮助你延缓体<br />
重增加。<br />
情绪不好或压抑: 除吸烟外有许多方法能让你的情绪好转。<br />
如果你遇到以上任何情况,请咨询医生或健康保健人员。<br />
特殊情况<br />
研究表明任何人都能戒烟。每个人根据不同的个人情况都有各<br />
自特殊的理由去戒烟。<br />
• 怀孕或新妈妈:戒烟能保护你和孩子的健康。<br />
• 住院病人:戒烟能减少你的健康问题并促进痊愈。<br />
• 心脏病病人:戒烟能减少你心脏病再次发作的可能性。<br />
• 肺、脑、及颈部癌症病人:戒烟能减少继发癌症的可能性。<br />
• 儿童和青少年的父母:戒烟能使你的孩子不会因被动吸烟而<br />
患上一些疾病。<br />
需要思考的问题<br />
在尝试戒烟前,请思考以下问题。你可以和健康保健人员谈一<br />
下这些问题。<br />
• 你为什么想戒烟?<br />
• 根据你过去的戒烟史,你认为什么是有帮助的,什么是没<br />
有帮助的?<br />
• 对你来说,戒烟后遇到的最困难的情况将是什么样的?你<br />
准备怎样去应付?<br />
• 谁能帮助你渡过难关?你的家人?朋友?健康保健人员?<br />
• 你从吸烟中获得怎样的快乐?如果你戒烟,你仍然能获得<br />
快乐吗?<br />
这里有些问题要问健康保健人员<br />
• 你如何帮助我成功戒烟?<br />
• 你认为什么治疗对我最有效?我应该怎么做?<br />
• 如果我需要更多的帮助,我应该怎样做?<br />
• 尼古丁的戒断症状是怎么样的?我如何知道出现了戒断<br />
症状?<br />
