爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok explained that the organization knew nothing of his offer; that it was entirely unofficial. It was purely a personal thought. He believed the Boy Scouts of America needed a leader; that the colonel was the one man in the United States fitted by every natural quality to be that leader; that the Scouts would rally around him, and that, at his call, instead of four hundred thousand Scouts, as there were then, the organization would grow into a million and more. Bok further explained that he believed his connection with the national organization was sufficient, if Colonel Roosevelt would favorably consider such a leadership, to warrant him in presenting it to the national officers; and he was inclined to believe they would welcome the opportunity. He could not assure the colonel of this! He had no authority for saying they would; but was Colonel Roosevelt receptive to the idea?

白话
博克解释:组织对此事一无所知,这完全是非官方的个人想法。他相信美国童子军需要一位领袖,而罗斯福是全国在各方面都最适合的人;童子军会团结在他周围,在他的号召下,成员能从当时的四十万增长到一百万以上。博克还说,凭他与全国组织的关系,如果罗斯福愿意考虑,他足以有把握向全国官员提出;他倾向于相信他们会欢迎这个机会。但他不能保证,也无权代表组织说话。最后他问:罗斯福是否愿意接受这个想法?这展示了推动大事的步骤:先私下试探关键人,再正式提案,同时坦诚说明不确定性。

你有一个大胆想法时,是否先私下试探关键人,并坦诚说明不确定性?
