安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 442
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Charges were made in the rigid Scottish Highlands that I was demoralizing Christian worship by giving organs to churches. The very strict Presbyterians there still denounce as wicked an attempt "to worship God with a kist fu' o' whistles," instead of using the human God-given voice. After that I decided that I should require a partner in my sin, and therefore asked each congregation to pay one half of the desired new organ. Upon this basis the organ department still operates and continues to do a thriving business, the demand for improved organs still being great. Besides, many new churches are required for increasing populations and for these organs are essential.

白话
苏格兰高地有人指责卡内基捐管风琴是败坏礼拜，严守派甚至说用“一箱笛子”敬拜上帝是邪恶的，不如用人声。卡内基的应对不是硬顶，而是要求每个教会承担新琴一半费用，让双方共担。这样既继续推动改进，又堵住“你出钱你说了算”的批评。今天遇到观念冲突，可以学这一招：不争对错，先设计一个让对方也投入的机制，把对抗变成合作，事情反而推得动。
上下文
卡内基自传中回忆因捐管风琴遭苏格兰长老会批评，于是改为教会出一半钱。
今日一问
你推动一件事时，能不能让对方也出一份力，而不是你全包？
