左脑和右脑

On this list, you want to dig into what makes a work environment appealing for you, including items like: How mature an industry do I want to work in? Typically, the more mature (heavy equipment manufacturing, for instance) the more conservative the corporate culture will be. How flat vs. how tiered an organization do I desire? If there are 14 levels of management between me and the CEO, my experience at work will be drastically different from how it will be if there are two. How "left-brain" vs. "right-brain" an organization do I want? Although neurology types don't use those left-brain/right-brain models as they once did to understand brain function, they're still useful for us in understanding our strengths and preferences. Left-brain areas are math, music, programming, and flowcharting. 在这张清单所列的元素里，你需要去探究什么样的工作环境对你有吸引力，包括有：我希望在一个多么成熟的行业工作？行业越成熟，那么企业环境就会越保守（例如，重型机器制造业)。我希望的是扁平化组织还是层次化结构？如果我和CEO之间有14层管理层，那么我的体验就会和在两层结构中的大不一样。我希望为一个”左脑“还是”右脑“组织工作？虽然神经学上现在用的左右脑模式和曾用的理解大脑功能的模式不同，这一概念在帮助了解我们的强项和喜好上依旧有用。左脑和数学、音乐、程序和流程有关。

If you're that person, organizations dominated by that type of thinking are perfect for you -- research institutions and engineering firms are two examples. Right-brain-focused people veer toward the humanities, language, and the arts. An advertising agency or a freewheeling startup might be a better fit. 如果你是"左脑”思维的人，那么以“左脑”思维为主导的组织就适合你——例如，研究院和工程公司。偏重右脑的人们倾向于人文、语言和艺术。广告代理或自主创业也许是更好的选择。

What looks like a dream job on paper will quickly turn to ashes if the organizational culture doesn't celebrate what you love to do and do well. 如果公司文化和你喜欢、擅长的并不合拍，那么看上去理想的工作很快就会变的糟糕。(to be continued)
