以下是今天於 信報 經管錦言 一篇關於我們 校友會毅行者 的分享。(特別嗚謝 Lilian, YC, Crystal 及 Edwin 的分享與幫忙。)

毅行學管理

作者：薛學英 (Johnny Seet)
2015年10月27日刊於《信報》

一年一度的樂施毅行者將至，藉此分享一群熱心的科大工商管理碩士，如何從多年來籌備校友參與毅行者的行山與籌款活動實踐管理學。

樂施毅行者是香港最大型的遠足籌款活動。自1986年以來的29年間，先後有77000多名參加者為這項活動合共籌得超過3.93億港元，以支持樂施會在本港、中國內地、非洲及亞洲其他地區推行扶貧救災和倡議工作。

參加者必須4人組成一隊，日夜趕路，於48小時內橫越100公里麥理浩徑。一路上互相扶持，互相鼓勵，共同克服種種困難，並須於多個月前開始組織支援隊伍、計劃行程及不斷練習，因此十分講求團隊精神與管理才能。

1999年，一群熱心的科大工商管理碩士校友希望可以參與慈善活動之餘，亦能挑戰自我，並從中把課堂上的管理學應用於工作和日常生活中。樂施毅行者便成為了當然的選擇。時至今日，這項校友會活動亦以薪火相傳的形式延續了17年，並由1999年的1隊發展到近年的4至6隊；科大校友會也拿了3年的女子組冠軍及數年的大學組籌款獎項。作為科大校友，實在與有榮焉。

參與毅行者是難忘的人生經歷，不少參與者都認為在籌備和參與的過程中，無論在人生和健康上都大有改善。由組隊、訓練、支援隊伍的安排與管理，以至比賽當天的執行，每位隊員都要親力親為。在組織活動當中，我參考了不少關於管理學的書籍，而當中有一本我們覺得很值得跟大家分享，這本書是 Jim Collins 的 Good To Great（《從優秀到卓越》）。

沒有兩個人是完全一樣的，因此無論你的隊伍目標完成時間是長是短，你都必須與另外的3位隊友並肩作戰。加上在比賽途中，大多數人都要在疲憊不堪的情況下繼續前進，在這種情況下，每位隊員的心理質素或情緒智商都是很重要的。

我們也曾經見過有隊伍因為隊員的比賽速度有別，而在途中發生爭議。速度較慢的隊友能否請教技術較好的隊友和自己努力地改善，速度較快的隊友又能否謙虛的與隊友分享。再加上4人一起在100公里賽事中的毅力與堅持，這些都是完成活動的關鍵。

在我所認識的朋友中，成績較優異和較資深的毅行者，他們都具有謙虛為懷的個性和專業堅持的意志，這與《從優秀到卓越》中所提及 Level 5 Leadership （第五級領導才能）中的Personal Humility（個人謙遜）及Professional Will（專業意志力）不謀而合。

參與統籌校友會毅行者也為一眾校友提供了一個從經驗中學習的機會，還記得自己在第一年協助籌備時，當時由於認為自己最為清楚各位隊員情況，結果在比賽當天，令自己成為各隊參賽者及支援隊伍的聯絡人，也沒有把決策權分配好，結果在賽事中需要忙於回應來電和訊息，分心之餘也沒辦法即時回覆，結果當然未如理想，也辛苦了當年的隊友與支援隊伍。

其實當找到適當人選或隊長後，便應相信隊友，並將權力下放（Delegation）。此舉除了提升效率外，更令各隊員可加強活動的參與度與投入感，他們亦能按實際情況中作出更佳決定，得出更好的效果。例如支援隊伍會根據當時毅行者的身體狀況，當時天氣以及實際進度跟隊伍計劃的差別，而作出最合理的調整，如衣物與食品補給安排及支援點轉移等。

往後的經驗也發覺其實當找對了人，才能做對的事，而且權力下放與信任都是雙向的，當隊友有了你的信任，自然也會對你產生信任，整體而言，對參賽者的發揮也更佳，這亦與書中提及的First Who... Then What理念相近。

參與毅行者是一個很好的成長機會，曾經聽過一位資深毅行者說過 ︰ 「不是每個人一生都有一個100公里的旅程」，機會難能可貴，希望各位踴躍參與，實現樂施會助人自助的理念，為全球達致「無窮世界」出一份力。若有興趣參與科大工商管理碩士校友會的樂施毅行者活動，可與校友會聯絡。當然，今年我們更加需要你的慷慨捐助，歡迎登入www.oxfamtrailwalker.org.hk網站，捐款支持科大工商管理碩士校友會參與樂施毅行者，我們今年的隊號是0059、 0060 與0061。
