司馬光《資治通鑑》· 卷192·高祖神堯大聖光孝皇帝下之下武德九年(丙戌,公元六二六年) · Leadership · Cognition · Decision · Growth

上嘗言:「吾自少經略四方,頗知用兵之要,每觀敵陳,則知其強弱,常以吾弱當其強,強當其弱。彼乘吾弱,逐奔不過數十百步,吾乘其弱,必出其陳後反擊之,無不潰敗,所以取勝,多在此也。」

管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第78篇揆度, Entry 5

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第78篇揆度 · Investing · Wealth · Decision · Action

管子曰:「人君操本,民不得操末。人君操始,民不得操卒。其在涂者,籍之於衢塞。其在穀者,守之春秋。其在萬物者,立貲而行。故物動則應之。故豫奪其涂則民無遵,君守其流則民失其高。故守四方之高下,國無游賈,貴賤相當,此謂國衡。以利相守,則數歸於君矣。」

John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 58

John D. Rockefeller《Random Reminiscences of Men and Events》· Chapter III · Leadership

The 60,000 men who are at work constantly in the service of the company are kept busy year in and year out. The past year has been a time of great contraction, but the Standard has gone on with its plans unchecked, and the new works and buildings have not been delayed on account of lack of capital or fear of bad times. It pays its workmen well, it cares for them when sick, and pensions them when old. It has never had any important strikes, and if there is any better function of business management than giving profitable work to employees year after year, in good times and bad, I don't know what it is.
