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

If I had been at home, however, I might have been persuaded to open the works, as the superintendent desired, to test whether our old men would go to work as they had promised. But it should be noted that the works were not opened at first by my partners for new men. On the contrary, it was, as I was informed upon my return, at the wish of the thousands of our old men that they were opened. This is a vital point. My partners were in no way blamable for making the trial so recommended by the superintendent. Our rule never to employ new men, but to wait for the old to return, had not been violated so far. In regard to the second opening of the works, after the strikers had shot the sheriff's officers, it is also easy to look back and say, "How much better had the works been closed until the old men voted to return"; but the Governor of Pennsylvania, with eight thousand troops, had meanwhile taken charge of the situation.

白话

如果我当时在家,也许会被说服按主管的意思开工,试试老工人是否照承诺回来。但要注意,工厂最初并不是我的合伙人为招新人而开的;相反,我回来后得知,是几千名老工人希望开工。这是关键点。合伙人们按主管建议做尝试,无可厚非。我们“不招新人、等老工人回来”的规则,至此并未被违反。至于第二次开工,是在罢工者枪击警长手下之后,回看当然会说“不如关厂等老工人投票复工”,但当时宾夕法尼亚州长已带八千军队接管了局势。

上下文

卡内基自传中为合伙人辩护,说明开工是应老工人要求,且未违反不招新人的原则。

今日一问

在复盘一次冲突时,你是否能区分“决策失误”和“执行中的无奈”,并公平评价参与者?
