企業家奇普．康利說，在工作場所同時有五個世代，這是史上頭一遭。如果我們刻意去讓大家合作，會發生什麼事？在這場很容易入門的演說中，康利說明了年齡多樣性如何能讓公司更壯大，並呼籲不同世代在工作上當彼此的導師，讓智慧從老人流向年輕人，也從年輕人流向老人。

I was twice the age

00:30
I felt like a newbie amongst
the tech geniuses.

6
18356
2707
我感覺自己好像科技天才中的新手。
00:34
I was listening to them talk
7

我在聽他們說話，
00:37
and thinking that the best thing
I could do was be invisible.

突然，主導會議的
二十五歲奇才瞪著我看，

and asked, "If you shipped a feature

他問：「如果你運送（推出）了
一項功能，卻沒人用它，
一項功能，卻沒人用它，
00:49
did it really ship?"
11
37736

它真的運送（推出）了嗎？」

(Laughter)
12
39469
1844
（笑聲）
00:53
"Ship a feature"?
13
41987
1904
「運送出一項功能」？
00:55
In that moment, Chip knew
he was in deep ship.

當下，奇普就知道他深陷
麻煩（音近：運送）了。

(Laughter)
15
47405
1007
01:00
I had no idea what he was talking about.
16
48436
2833
我完全不懂他在說什麼。
01:04
I just sat there awkwardly,
17
52184
3426
我只能很尷尬地坐在那裡，
01:07
and mercifully, he moved on
to someone else.
to someone else.
18
55634
2347
他很有慈悲心地轉向其他人。
01:10
I slid down in my chair,
19
58005
1998
我從我的椅子滑下去，
01:12
and I couldn't wait
for that meeting to end.

我等不及會議結束了。
01:15
That was my introduction to Airbnb.

我在 Airbnb 的日子是這樣開始的。
01:18
I was asked and invited
by the three millennial cofounders

Now, I'd spent from age 26 to 52

我從 26 歲到 52 歲這段時間，
都是精品飯店的企業家，

01:38
and so I guess I'd learned
a few things along the way

所以我想這一路上
我多少學了點東西，

01:41
and accumulated
some hospitality knowledge.

29
89331
2098
也累積了一些餐旅方面的知識。
01:43
But after my first week,
30
91971
1826
但在我的第一週之後，
01:45
I realized that the brave new
home-sharing world

31
93821
2931
我就發現住房共享的美好新世界，
01:48
didn't need much of my old-school
bricks-and-mortar hotel insights.
bricks-and-mortar hotel insights.
32
96776
4528
不太需要我的老派實體飯店洞見。
01:53
A stark reality rocked me:
33
101926
2107
赤裸裸的現實撼動了我：
01:56
What do I have to offer?
34
104899
1670
我能提供什麼？
01:59
I'd never been in a tech company before.
35
107929
2481
我以前從來沒有待過科技公司。
02:02
Five and a half years ago, I had never
heard of the "sharing economy,"
heard of the "sharing economy,"
36
110434
4810
五年半前，我還沒有
聽過「共享經濟」，
聽過「共享經濟」，
02:07
nor did I have an Uber
or Lyft app on my phone.
or Lyft app on my phone.
37
115268
2681
我的手機上也沒有 Uber
或 Lyft 的應用程式。
或 Lyft 的應用程式。
02:10
This was not my natural habitat.
38
118534
2582
這不是我天然的棲息地。
02:14
So, I decided at that moment
that I could either run for the hills,
that I could either run for the hills,
39
122179
4781
所以當下我就決定，
我可以選擇躲到山上去，
我可以選擇躲到山上去，
02:18
or cast judgment on these young geniuses,
40
126984
2447
或是對這些年輕天才做出評斷，
02:21
or instead, turn the judgment
into curiosity
into curiosity
41
129455
3505
或是，換個方式，
把評斷轉為好奇，
把評斷轉為好奇，
02:24
and actually see if I could match
my wise eyes with their fresh eyes.
my wise eyes with their fresh eyes.
42
132984
4947
真正去了解，我很廣的見識
是否能搭配他們很新的見識。
是否能搭配他們很新的見識。
02:29
I fancied myself a modern Margaret Mead
amongst the millennials,
amongst the millennials,
43
137955
5589
我想像我自己是千禧世代中的
現代瑪格麗特米德
（研究現代人類形成過程的學者），
（研究現代人類形成過程的學者），
02:35
and I quickly learned that I had
as much to offer them
as much to offer them
44
143568
3855
我很快就發現，
我能給他們的很多，
不少於他們能給我的。
不少於他們能給我的。
02:39
as they did to me.
45
147447
1268
02:41
The more I've seen and learned
about our respective generations,
about our respective generations,
46
149331
4774
關於我們各自的世代，
當我看得越多且學得越多，
當我看得越多且學得越多，
02:46
the more I realize that we often
don't trust each other enough
don't trust each other enough
47
154129
4267
我就越發現我們通常
沒有給彼此足夠的信任，
沒有給彼此足夠的信任，
02:50
to actually share our respective wisdom.
48
158420
2715
無法真正分享我們各自的智慧。
02:53
We may share a border,
49
161159
2251
在我們可能可以
分享一個共同邊界，
分享一個共同邊界，
02:55
but we don't necessarily trust
each other enough
each other enough
50
163434
2644
但我們對彼此的信任不見得有高到
02:58
to share that respective wisdom.
51
166102
2326
可以分享各自的智慧。
03:01
I believe, looking at
the modern workplace,
the modern workplace,
52
169654
3280
就現代工作場所來說，我相信，
03:04
that the trade agreement of our time
53
172958
3745
我們時代的貿易協定
03:08
is opening up these intergenerational
pipelines of wisdom
pipelines of wisdom
54
176727
5371
開啟了世代間的智慧流通管道，
03:14
so that we can all learn from each other.
55
182122
2495
讓我們都能向彼此學習。
03:17
Almost 40 percent of us
in the United States
in the United States
56
185336
4431
在美國，幾乎 40% 的人
03:21
have a boss that's younger than us,
57
189791
2261
為比自己年輕的老闆工作，
03:24
and that number is growing quickly.
58
192076
2351
那個數字還在快速成長。
03:27
Power is cascading to the young
like never before
like never before
59
195079
3260
權力開始移交到年輕人手上，
這是前所未有的，
這是前所未有的，
03:30
because of our increasing reliance on DQ:
60
198363
3716
因為我們越來越仰賴 DQ，
03:34
digital intelligence.
61
202103
1524
即數位智慧。
03:36
We're seeing young founders
of companies in their early 20s
of companies in their early 20s
62
204213
3811
我們會看到二十初頭的
年輕人創立公司，
年輕人創立公司，
03:40
scale them up to global giants
by the time they get to 30,
by the time they get to 30,
63
208048
4927
在三十歲時把公司發展成全球巨人，
03:44
and yet, we expect
these young digital leaders
these young digital leaders
64
212999
3455
但是，我們卻期待
這些年輕的數位領導人
這些年輕的數位領導人
03:48
to somehow miraculously embody
the relationship wisdoms
the relationship wisdoms
65
216478
5133
很神奇地以某種方式
去體現關係智慧，
去體現關係智慧，
03:53
we older workers
have had decades to learn.
have had decades to learn.
66
221635
2953
這在我們年長工作者
要花數十年才學習的到。
要花數十年才學習的到。
03:57
It's hard to microwave
your emotional intelligence.
your emotional intelligence.
67
225125
3675
你的情緒智慧很難速成。
04:01
There's ample evidence that gender-
and ethnically diverse companies
and ethnically diverse companies
68
229689
5738
有很大量的證據顯示，
性別和人種多樣性高的公司，
效益會比較高。
效益會比較高。
04:07
are more effective.
69
235451
1360
04:09
But what about age?
70
237426
1256
但年齡呢？
04:11
This is a very important question,
because for the first time ever,
because for the first time ever,
71
239265
3620
這是個很重要的問題，
因為這是史上頭一遭，
因為這是史上頭一遭，
04:14
we have five generations in the workplace
at the same time, unintentionally.
at the same time, unintentionally.
72
242909
3826
我們在工作場所中
同時有五個世代，
且不是刻意造成的。
且不是刻意造成的。
04:18
Maybe it's time we got
a little more intentional
a little more intentional
73
246759
2446
也許，該是我們稍微刻意一點
想辦法合作的時候了。
想辦法合作的時候了。
04:21
about how we work collectively.
74
249229
1798
04:23
There have been a number
of European studies
of European studies
75
251979
2753
有不少歐洲研究指出，
04:26
that have shown that age-diverse teams
are more effective and successful.
are more effective and successful.
76
254756
4660
年齡多樣性高的團隊
比較有效益也比較成功。
比較有效益也比較成功。
04:32
So why is that only eight percent
of the companies
of the companies
77
260190
4177
所以，為什麼本身就有多元共容
計畫的公司當中，只有 8%
計畫的公司當中，只有 8%
04:36
that have a diversity
and inclusion program
and inclusion program
78
264391
4071
04:40
have actually expanded that strategy
79
268486
2162
會真的將那項策略再擴展，
將年齡納入，
04:42
to include age as just as important
of a demographic as gender or race?
of a demographic as gender or race?
80
270672
5229
成為和性別及種族同等重要的
人口統計變數？
人口統計變數？
04:48
Maybe they didn't get the memo:
81
276422
1777
也許他們沒有收到備忘錄：
世界正在變老！
世界正在變老！
04:50
the world is getting older!
82
278223
1736
04:52
One of the paradoxes of our time
83
280948
1987
我們這個時代的矛盾之一，
04:54
is that baby boomers are more vibrant
and healthy longer into life,
and healthy longer into life,
84
282959
5127
就是嬰兒潮世代比較充滿生氣
且在人生中健康的時期較長，
05:00
we're actually working later into life,
85
288110
2310
我們在人生中的工作時期也比較長，
05:02
and yet we're feeling
less and less relevant.
less and less relevant.
86
290444
2766
但我們卻覺得自己越來越不重要。
05:05
Some of us feel like a carton
of milk -- an old carton of milk --
of milk -- an old carton of milk --
87
293789
3815
我們有些人覺得自己像是
紙盒牛奶——老式紙盒牛奶——
紙盒牛奶——老式紙盒牛奶——
05:09
with an expiration date stamped
on our wrinkled foreheads.
on our wrinkled foreheads.
88
297628
3876
我們滿是皺紋的前額上
印著有效期限。
印著有效期限。
05:14
For many of us in midlife,
this isn't just a feeling,
this isn't just a feeling,
89
302092
2839
對許多我們中年人來說，
這不只是一種感覺，
這不只是一種感覺，
05:16
it is a harsh reality, when we suddenly
lose our job and the phone stops ringing.
lose our job and the phone stops ringing.
90
304955
5053
當我們突然丟了飯碗，
不再有人打電話來時，
不再有人打電話來時，
它就是個嚴酷的現實。
05:22
For many of us, justifiably, we worry
that people see our experience
that people see our experience
91
310844
4932
對我們許多人來說，
我們情有可原，當然會擔心
我們情有可原，當然會擔心
別人把我們的經驗
視為是負債，而不是資產。
視為是負債，而不是資產。
05:27
as a liability, not an asset.
92
315800
2572
05:31
You've heard of the old phrase --
or maybe the relatively new phrase --
or maybe the relatively new phrase --
93
319688
3931
你們應該聽過一句老的諺語——
或者也許相對算是新的諺語——
或者也許相對算是新的諺語——
05:35
"Sixty is the new forty, physically."
94
323643
2453
「六十歲就是新的四十歲，
身體上來說。」
身體上來說。」
05:38
Right?
95
326120
1167
對吧？
05:39
When it comes to power
in the workplace today,
in the workplace today,
96
327311
3562
就現今工作場所中的權力來說，
05:42
30 is the new 50.
97
330897
1649
三十歲就是新的五十歲。
05:45
All right, well, this is all
pretty exciting, right?
pretty exciting, right?
98
333797
2874
好，這些都很讓人興奮，對吧？
05:48
(Laughter)
99
336695
1070
（笑聲）
05:49
Truthfully, power is moving
10 years younger.
10 years younger.
100
337789
2954
說真的，權力正在
轉移給年輕十歲的人。
轉移給年輕十歲的人。
05:53
We're all going to live 10 years longer.
101
341048
1918
我們的壽命都會再多十年。
05:55
Do the math.
102
343307
1150
自己算算看。
05:56
Society has created a new
20-year irrelevancy gap.
20-year irrelevancy gap.
103
344834
3638
社會創造出了一個新的
「不合時宜的二十年差距」。
「不合時宜的二十年差距」。
06:01
Midlife used to be 45 to 65,
104
349325
2214
以前，45 歲到 65 歲算是中年，
06:03
but I would suggest it now stretches
into a midlife marathon 40 years long,
into a midlife marathon 40 years long,
105
351563
4697
但我認為，現在它已經延長成了
為期四十年的中年馬拉松，
從 35 歲到 75 歲。
從 35 歲到 75 歲。
06:08
from 35 to 75.
106
356284
1575
06:10
But wait -- there is a bright spot.
107
358607
1712
但，等等——有個值得高興之處。
06:12
Why is it that we actually get smarter
and wiser about our humanity as we age?
and wiser about our humanity as we age?
108
360954
5913
為什麼隨著年齡增長，在人文方面
我們會變得更聰明更有智慧？
06:19
Our physical peak may be our 20s,
109
367560
4056
我們的身體也許
在二十多歲達到高峰，
在二十多歲達到高峰，
06:23
our financial and salary peak
may be age 50,
may be age 50,
110
371640
3874
我們的財務和薪水
也許在五十歲達到高峰，
也許在五十歲達到高峰，
06:27
but our emotional peak
is in midlife and beyond,
is in midlife and beyond,
111
375538
3910
但我們的情緒高峰，
會出現在中年和中年之後，
會出現在中年和中年之後，
06:31
because we have developed pattern
recognition about ourselves and others.
recognition about ourselves and others.
112
379472
5013
因為我們已經發展出了
對於自己以及他人的模式辨識。
對於自己以及他人的模式辨識。
06:36
So how can we get companies
to tap into that wisdom
to tap into that wisdom
113
384860
3653
所以，我們要如何讓公司去發掘
中年人的那種智慧，
06:40
of the midlife folks,
114
388537
2320
06:42
just as they nurture their digital
young geniuses as well?

will actually learn how to create

Early on, Laura Hughes could see
that I was a little lost in this habitat,

先前，蘿拉休斯看得出來
我在這個棲息地有一點迷失，

07:08
so she often sat

於是在開會時，
她通常會坐在我旁邊，

07:11
so she could be my tech translator,

and I could write her notes and she
could tell me, "That's what that means."

07:24
Like many of her millennial cohorts,

她和她的許多千禧世代同伴一樣，
07:27
she had actually grown into

07:34
I don't care if you're
in the B-to-B world,

131
442836

我不在乎你是在 B2B 的世界、

human to human.
134
452740
1582
也就是：人對人。
07:46
And yet, Laura's approach to leadership

然而，蘿拉的領導方式
07:49
was really formed
in the technocratic world,

and it was purely metric driven.

它完全是指標驅動。
07:55
One of the things she said to me
in the first few months was,

08:04
Now, my fact knowledge,
141

我的事實知識就是

As I spent more time at Airbnb,
148
498169
2164
隨著我在 Airbnb 待得越久，
08:32
I realized it's possible
a new kind of elder was emerging

149
500357
4490
我了解到，在工作場所是有可能
會有一種新的長者出現的。
08:36
in the workplace.
150
504871

08:38
Not the elder of the past, who actually
was regarded with reverence.

08:43
No, what is striking about the modern

for us to definitely reclaim
the word "elder"

該是我們明確改造「長者」這個詞，
09:07
and give it a modern twist.
157
535667
1821
把它扭轉成現代的定義。
09:09
The modern elder is as much an intern
as they are a mentor,
as they are a mentor,
158
537964
4006
現代長者既是實習生，又是導師，
09:13
because they realize, in a world
that is changing so quickly,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Chip Conley - CEO, authorChip Conley creates joyful hotels, where he hopes his employees, customers and investors alike can realize their full potential. His books share that philosophy with the wider world.
Why you should listen
In 1987, at the age of 26 and seeking a little "joy of life," Chip Conley founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality by transforming a small motel in San Francisco’s seedy Tenderloin district into the now-legendary Phoenix. Today, Joie de Vivre operates nearly 40 unique hotels across California, each built on an innovative design formula that inspires guests to experience an "identity refreshment" during their visits.
During the dotcom bust in 2001, Conley found himself in the self-help section of the bookstore, where he became reacquainted with one of the most famous theories of human behavior -- Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which separates human desires into five ascending levels, from base needs such as eating to the highest goal of self-actualization, characterized by the full realization and achievement of one’s potential. Influenced by Maslow's pyramid, Conley revamped his business model to focus on the intangible, higher needs of his company's three main constituencies -- employees, customers and investors. He credits this shift for helping Joie de Vivre triple its annual revenues between 2001 and 2008.
Conley has written three books, including his most recent, PEAK: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow, and is at work on two new ones, Emotional Equations and PEAK Leadership. He consults widely on transformative enterprises, corporate social responsibility and creative business development. He traveled to Bhutan last year to study its Gross National Happiness index, the country's unique method of measuring success and its citizens' quality of life.
