文章大意:这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了为员工设定目标并不难。然而,要理解它们的负面影响要困难得多。大多数与工作相关的行为都有多个组成部分。强调一个,其他的就会被歪曲。所有好的目标都应该有多个标准,这些标准与时间、金钱、质量和客户反馈等关键因素有关。诀窍不在于只指定目标的一个或甚至两个维度,而在于了解如何帮助人们更好地实现目标。

【推荐3】It’s not difficult to set targets for staff. It is much harder, however, to understand their negative consequences. Most work-related behaviours have multiple components. _________ one and the others become distorted.

Travel on a London bus and you’ll _________ see how this works with drivers. Watch people get on and show their tickets. Are they carefully inspected? Never. Do people get on without paying? Of course! Are there inspectors to _________ that people have paid? Possibly, but very few. And people who run for the bus? They are _________. Safety and security for the old, the sick, the disabled? No time for that. And how about jumping lights? Buses do so almost as frequently as cyclists.

Why? Because the target is _________. People complained that buses were late and infrequent. _________, the number of buses and bus lanes were increased, and drivers were _________ or punished according to the time they took. And drivers hit their targets. But they also hit cyclists. People are hurt on buses and by buses.

If the target was changed to _________, you would have more inspectors and more sensitive pricing. If the criterion changed to safety, you would get more _________ drivers who obeyed traffic laws. But both these criteria would be at the expense of time.

There is another problem: people become immensely __________ in hitting targets. Have you noticed that you can leave on a flight an hour late but still arrive on time? Tailwinds? Of course not! Airlines have simply changed the time a trip is __________ to take. A one-hour flight is now __________ as a two-hour flight. It’s the same with rail journeys. They now take twice as long as they did 20 or even 40 years ago.

The __________ of the story is simple. Most jobs are multidimensional, with multiple criteria. Choose one criterion or even two and you may well __________ others. Everything (well almost everything) can be done faster and made cheaper, but there is a cost. Setting targets can and does have unforeseen negative consequences.

This is not an argument against target-setting or, as it is sometimes called, “management by objectives” with the use of “key performance indicators” (KPI). But it is an argument for exploring consequences first. All good targets should have multiple criteria relating to critical factors such as time, money, quality and customer feedback. The trick is not to __________ just one or even two dimensions of the objective, but also to understand how to help people better achieve the objective.
