安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
This policy is the true secret of success. Uphill work it will be for a few years until your work is proven, but after that it is smooth sailing. Instead of objecting to inspectors they should be welcomed by all manufacturing establishments. A high standard of excellence is easily maintained, and men are educated in the effort to reach excellence. I have never known a concern to make a decided success that did not do good, honest work, and even in these days of the fiercest competition, when everything would seem to be matter of price, there lies still at the root of great business success the very much more important factor of quality. The effect of attention to quality, upon every man in the service, from the president of the concern down to the humblest laborer, cannot be overestimated. And bearing on the same question, clean, fine workshops and tools, well-kept yards and surroundings are of much greater importance than is usually supposed.

白话
卡内基认为，这套做法才是成功的真正秘诀。开头几年会很难，要 uphill 一样熬到你的活儿被证明可靠，之后路就顺了。工厂不该怕检查员，反而该欢迎他们。保持高标准其实不难，而且人在追求高标准的过程中会受到训练。他说自己从没见过哪家真正成功的企业不认真做诚实的好活；即便在竞争最激烈、什么都像在拼价格的年代，商业成功的根子上仍然是质量这个更重要的因素。重视质量对从总裁到最底层工人的每个人影响都极大。同样重要的是，干净像样的车间、工具和整洁的厂区环境，比一般人以为的重要得多。
