His report was a model of what such a report should be. It stated the facts, and in this case they were almost all unfavourable. A little later he happened to be going West, and I gave him the name and address of property in that region in which I held a minority interest. I felt quite sure that this particular property was doing well, and it was somewhat of a shock to me to learn through his clear and definite account that it was only a question of time before this enterprise, too, which had been represented as rolling in money, would get into trouble if things kept on as they were going.

白话
盖茨的报告堪称典范:只陈述事实,哪怕几乎全是不利消息。后来洛克菲勒派他去西部查看一处自己占少数股权的产业,本以为经营良好,结果盖茨清晰明确的报告显示,这家号称日进斗金的公司若照旧下去,迟早会出问题。洛克菲勒很震惊。核心是:好的报告要诚实、清晰、不粉饰,哪怕坏消息让人难受。做法是鼓励身边人直言不讳,并重视那些敢说真话的人,因为他们能帮你提前发现风险。
