安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I returned to find that, instead of being a trusted colleague of the Union Pacific directors, I was regarded as having used them for speculative purposes. No quartet of men ever had a finer opportunity for identifying themselves with a great work than we had; and never was an opportunity more recklessly thrown away. Mr. Pullman was ignorant of the matter and as indignant as myself, and I believe that he at once re-invested his profits in the shares of the Union Pacific. I felt that much as I wished to do this and to repudiate what had been done, it would be unbecoming and perhaps ungrateful in me to separate myself so distinctly from my first of friends, Mr. Scott.

白话
卡内基回来发现，自己不再是联合太平洋董事们信任的同事，而被看成利用他们做投机的人。他们几个人本来有极好的机会与一项大事业绑在一起，却轻易丢掉了。普尔曼对此不知情，和卡内基一样愤怒，并立刻把赚到的利润重新投回联合太平洋股票。卡内基也想这么做，并想否认已发生的事，但他觉得那样明显地和斯科特——他最早的朋友之一——划清界限，既不得体，也可能显得忘恩负义。这里的关键是：合伙做事，授权和退出机制要事先讲清；事后追责时，也要权衡情义与原则，但别让模糊的义气掩盖了真正的问题。
上下文
卡内基面对斯科特擅自卖股造成的后果，在挽回局面与维护旧友情之间为难。
今日一问
当朋友或合伙人的决定损害了共同事业，你会怎样既守住原则又不伤情义？
