安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

When Mr. Kloman had severed his connection with us there was no hesitation in placing William Borntraeger in charge of the mills. It has always been with especial pleasure that I have pointed to the career of William. He came direct from Germany--a young man who could not speak English, but being distantly connected with Mr. Kloman was employed in the mills, at first in a minor capacity. He promptly learned English and became a shipping clerk at six dollars per week. He had not a particle of mechanical knowledge, and yet such was his unflagging zeal and industry for the interests of his employer that he soon became marked for being everywhere about the mill, knowing everything, and attending to everything.

白话

卡内基说,克洛曼离开后,他们毫不犹豫地让威廉·博恩特拉格接管工厂。威廉从德国来,不会英语,因与克洛曼沾亲,先在厂里做小工。他很快学会英语,当上每周六美元的发货员。他完全不懂机械,但凭着对雇主利益不知疲倦的热忱和勤勉,很快处处可见他的身影,什么都懂,什么都管。卡内基常以威廉的经历为荣,说明用人不必拘泥出身和起点,关键看是否用心、肯学、肯负责。

上下文

安德鲁·卡内基是美国钢铁大王,这是他晚年自传中回忆用人经历的一段。

今日一问

你团队里有没有起点低但特别用心的人?你给他机会了吗?
