安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
My partners were misled by this superintendent, who was himself misled. He had not had great experience in such affairs, having recently been promoted from a subordinate position. The unjust demands of the few union men, and the opinion of the three thousand non-union men that they were unjust, very naturally led him into thinking there would be no trouble and that the workmen would do as they had promised. There were many men among the three thousand who could take, and wished to take, the places of the two hundred and eighteen--at least so it was reported to me.

白话
我的合伙人们被这位主管误导，而主管自己也被误导了。他刚从中层提拔上来，处理这类事经验不足。少数工会工人的不合理要求，加上三千名非工会工人也认为要求不公，自然让他以为不会出乱子，工人会照承诺开工。那三千人里，很多人有能力、也愿意顶替那两百一十八人的岗位——至少报告是这样说的。结果，轻信导致公司贸然开工，把一场本可谈判解决的纠纷推向了冲突。教训是：决策不能只靠下属的乐观汇报，尤其当汇报者缺乏经验时。

卡内基自传中分析霍姆斯特德罢工的决策失误。主管刚获提拔，经验不足，合伙人们轻信其判断。
今日一问
你最近是否因为下属或同事的乐观汇报而做了一个本应更谨慎的决定？
