管理者如何授权给核心设计师?

 

译:

优秀的管理者敢于把每一个设计任务授权给优秀的核心设计师。

授权有多种含义:

1. 管理者自己千万不能插手设计，由于管理者很易于充当设计师的角色，所以这是一种诱惑,

但一般管理者不会比设计师做得更优秀，同时管理者的精力确实也分散到其它任务上面去了。

2. 必需让核心设计师明确：即便他们只管理几个手下，他们也拥有完全的权力去做设计，在职权上与项目经理平等。

3. 核心设计师必需隔离于其它项目，并且让他们时间得到有效的利用。

4.给核心设计师提供工具以及所有他们看起来需要的帮助，他们正在做的事情是相对更重要的。

The wise manager boldly entrusts each design task to a gifted chief designer.

 

Entrusting has many implications.

First, the manager himself must not second-guess the design.

This is a real temptation, because the manager is quite apt to be a designer,

but one whose design gifts may not be as great as the best who reprot to him,

and one whose attention is surely fragmented among other tasks.

 

Next, it must be clear to all that the chief designer, although perhaps managing only a few assistants,

has complete authority over the design, and that he ranks equal with the project manager sociologically.

Third, the chief designer must be shielded from watchbirds from outside the project and protected from time diversions.

 

Fourth, he must be provided with tools and help as he sees the need. What he is doing is of prime importance.
