爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok now turned to The Ladies' Home Journal as his medium for making the small-house architecture of America better. He realized the limitation of space, but decided to do the best he could under the circumstances. He believed he might serve thousands of his readers if he could make it possible for them to secure, at moderate cost, plans for well-designed houses by the leading domestic architects in the country. He consulted a number of architects, only to find them unalterably opposed to the idea. They disliked the publicity of magazine presentation; prices differed too much in various parts of the country; and they did not care to risk the criticism of their contemporaries. It was "cheapening" their profession!

白话
核心是:博克想通过《女士家庭杂志》改善美国小住宅建筑,但遇到建筑师的集体反对。他计划让读者以适中价格获得国内顶尖住宅建筑师的设计图。他咨询多位建筑师,发现他们坚决反对:不喜欢在杂志上公开亮相;各地价格差异太大;不愿冒被同行批评的风险;认为这会“贬低”他们的职业。博克没有放弃,他看出必须自己开路,用实际结果证明这些顾虑不成立。可执行的做法是:当专家因面子或风险拒绝合作时,先找一个愿意尝试的人,做出样板,再推广。
