That man was Mr. L.M. Bowers; he came from Broome County, New York. Mr. Bowers went from point to point on the lakes where the boats were building, and studied them minutely. He was quickly able to make valuable suggestions about their construction, which were approved and adopted by the designers. When the vessels were finished, he took charge of them from the moment they floated, and he managed these and the dozens which followed with a skill and ability that commanded the admiration of all the sailors on the lakes. He even invented an anchor which he used with our fleet, and later it was adopted by other vessels, and I have heard that it is used in the United States Navy. He remained in his position until we sold out. We have given Mr. Bowers all sorts of hard tasks since we retired from the lake traffic and have found him always successful. Lately the health of a member of his family has made it desirable for him to live in Colorado, and he is now the vigorous and efficient vice-president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.

白话
洛克菲勒讲的是他手下一位叫鲍尔斯的能人。这人从纽约乡下出来,沿着湖区造船点一个个跑,仔细研究船怎么造,很快就能提出有价值的改进建议,设计者都采纳了。船一下水就交给他管,他带着船队干得让所有水手佩服,还发明了一种锚,后来连美国海军都用。他一直干到船队卖掉。之后洛克菲勒退休了,还不断给鲍尔斯各种难活,发现他总能干成。最近因为家人健康,他搬到科罗拉多,现在是一家大公司的副总裁,精力旺盛又能干。核心是:真正的人才靠实地钻研和可靠交付赢得信任,老板要敢把事交出去。
