What Your Child Can and Cannot Do
Whether we realize it or not, we are assessing capabilities all around us every day. We assess everything about our organizations; our bosses, our colleagues and peers, and our employees. We assess our competitors.
But if I asked you to turn that lens closer to home,could you do it? What are your capabilities? What about your family's? It may seem funny to think of ourselves as a composite of resources, processes, and priorities, just like a business.But it's an insightful way to assess what we are able to accomplish in our own lives- and what might be out of our reach.I'll bet if you listed your own capabilities, there are some that you know are real strengths and assets. But every one of us has a few areas that we wish were stronger— capabilities you would go back in time and develop better if you could.
Unfortunately, none of us has the luxury of doing so.Just as Dell can't wind back the clock on the decisions it made to outsource its capabilities,we can't go back to our youth to figure out ways to develop the capabilities we wish we had.But, as parents,we do have the opportunity to help our children get it right. The Resources, Processes, and Priorities model of capabilities can help us gauge what our children will need to be able to do, given the types of challenges and problems that we know they will confront in their future.
你的孩子能做什么，不能做什么
不管我们是否意识到，我们每天都在评估我们的周围。我们评估组织的一切：我们的老板、同事和同龄人，以及我们的员工。我们评估我们的竞争对手。但是如果让你把镜头转近你家，你能做到吗？你有什么能力？你家人有什么能力？把我们自己想象成资源、流程和优先级的组合，就像一个企业一样，看起来很有趣。但这是一种见解深刻的评估方式：评估我们在自己的生活中能够完成什么，以及我们可能无法实现什么。我敢打赌，如果你列出自己的能力，你就会知道什么是你真正的优势和资产。当然我们每个人都有一些希望自己变得更强的领域——如果可以的话，你愿意回到过去让这些领域发展得更好。
不幸的是，对我们来说这是奢求。就像戴尔无法让其外包的决策倒退一样，我们也无法回到年轻时候，去想办法开发我们希望拥有的能力。但是，作为父母，我们确实有机会帮助我们的孩子做好这件事。能力的资源、流程和优先级模型可以帮助我们衡量我们的孩子需要做什么，因为我们知道他们在未来将面临各种类型的挑战和问题。
