爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The story is told of a Boston publisher, sedate and fairly elderly, who came to the Scribner house to transact business with several of its departments. One of his errands concerning itself with advertising, he was introduced to Bok, who was then twenty-four. Looking the youth over, he transacted his business as well as he felt it could be transacted with a manager of such tender years, and then sought the head of the educational department: this brought him to another young man of twenty-four.

白话
有个故事说,一位稳重、上了年纪的波士顿出版商到斯克里布纳谈业务,要跑好几个部门。他先办广告的事,被介绍给当时二十四岁的博克。他打量这个年轻人,觉得跟这么年轻的管理者也只能这样谈,办完后又去找教育部门主管,结果又遇到一个二十四岁的年轻人。这说明公司用人看能力而非年龄,但也提醒年轻管理者:对方可能先入为主地低估你,你需要用专业和准备来赢得信任。
