安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 545

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

I had a long and friendly talk with the President that evening at dinner, but he was not looking at all well. I ventured to say to him he needed a rest. By all means he should get away. He said he had intended going off on a revenue cutter for a few days, but Judge Bradley of the Supreme Court had died and he must find a worthy successor. I said there was one I could not recommend because we had fished together and were such intimate friends that we could not judge each other disinterestedly, but he might inquire about him--Mr. Shiras, of Pittsburgh. He did so and appointed him. Mr. Shiras received the strong support of the best elements everywhere. Neither my recommendation, nor that of any one else, would have weighed with President Harrison one particle in making the appointment if he had not found Mr. Shiras the very man he wanted.

白话

卡内基与总统共进晚餐,见总统气色不好,劝他休息。总统说本想乘缉私船出去几天,但最高法院大法官布拉德利去世,必须找合适继任者。卡内基推荐了匹兹堡的希拉斯,但声明两人是钓鱼好友,不便自荐,请总统自行考察。总统调查后任命了希拉斯,希拉斯也获得各方支持。核心是:推荐人才时要坦诚利益关系,让决策者独立判断,这样推荐才更有分量。

上下文
