安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 383

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

The Irish and Scotch-Irish are queer, but the easiest and best fellows to get on with, if you only know how. That man Kelly was my stanch friend and admirer ever afterward, and he was before that one of our most violent men. My experience is that you can always rely upon the great body of working-men to do what is right, provided they have not taken up a position and promised their leaders to stand by them. But their loyalty to their leaders even when mistaken, is something to make us proud of them. Anything can be done with men who have this feeling of loyalty within them. They only need to be treated fairly.

白话

核心是:工人整体是讲理的,只要公平对待;他们的忠诚值得尊重。卡内基说爱尔兰人和苏格兰-爱尔兰人脾气怪,但摸准了最好相处。凯利曾是最凶的工人之一,后来却成了他坚定的朋友和崇拜者。他的经验是:只要工人没有公开表态、向领袖承诺站队,大体上总能指望他们做正确的事。即便领袖错了,工人仍忠于领袖,这种忠诚让人自豪。有这种忠诚感的人,什么都能谈,前提是公平对待他们。

上下文

卡内基自传中总结与工人打交道的经验,背景是前述劳资冲突后凯利态度转变。

今日一问

你对待合作者时,是否先做到公平,再要求对方通情达理?
