Had Mr. Kloman been a business man it would have been impossible ever to allow him to be a partner with us again after this discovery. He was not such, however, but the ablest of practical mechanics with some business ability. Mr. Kloman's ambition had been to be in the office, where he was worse than useless, rather than in the mill devising and running new machinery, where he was without a peer. We had some difficulty in placing him in his proper position and keeping him there, which may have led him to seek an outlet elsewhere. He was perhaps flattered by men who were well known in the community; and in this case he was led by persons who knew how to reach him by extolling his wonderful business abilities in addition to his mechanical genius--abilities which his own partners, as already suggested, but faintly recognized.

白话
核心是：把人才放错位置，会逼他向外找出路。如果克洛曼是个商人，发现这种事之后绝不可能再让他当合伙人。但他不是商人，而是最出色的实干机械师，有点商业能力。克洛曼的野心是坐办公室，可他在那里毫无用处；而在工厂里设计和操作新机器，他无人能比。卡内基费了些劲才把他安排到合适岗位并留住，这可能促使他另寻出路。他可能被当地有名望的人奉承，那些人知道如何通过夸赞他非凡的商业才能和机械天赋来打动他，而这些才能他的合伙人却很少认可。做法是：把人才放在能发挥长处的位置，并给予真诚认可。
