约翰·D·洛克菲勒《洛克菲勒回忆录》· Random Reminiscences of Men and Events · 领导
It is not always the easiest of tasks to induce strong, forceful men to agree. It has always been our policy to hear patiently and discuss frankly until the last shred of evidence is on the table, before trying to reach a conclusion and to decide finally upon a course of action. In working with so many partners, the conservative ones are apt to be in the majority, and this is no doubt a desirable thing when the mere momentum of a large concern is certain to carry it forward. The men who have been very successful are correspondingly conservative, since they have much to lose in case of disaster. But fortunately there are also the aggressive and more daring ones, and they are usually the youngest in the company, perhaps few in number, but impetuous and convincing. They want to accomplish things and to move quickly, and they don't mind any amount of work or responsibility. I remember in particular an experience when the conservative influence met the progressive--shall I say?--or the daring side. At all events, this was the side I represented in this case.

白话
洛克菲勒认为,让强势的人达成一致并不容易。他们的做法是耐心倾听、坦率讨论,直到所有证据都摆上桌面,再作决定。在众多合伙人中,保守派往往占多数,这在大公司靠惯性前进时是好事;成功者因怕失去而保守,但公司也需要年轻、激进、敢闯的人来推动快速行动。关键是在保守与进取之间取得平衡:先充分辩论,再果断执行。具体做法是:开会时让各方把话说完,记录分歧点,最后按证据和公司利益决策,而不是按资历或嗓门。
