P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 155

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

I have already mentioned some of the immediate reforms I made in the abuses of the stage. I went farther, and, at the risk of some pecuniary sacrifice, I abolished what was common enough in other theatres, even the most “respectable,” and was generally known as the “third tier.” Nor was a bar permitted on my premises. To be sure, I had no power to prevent my patrons from going out between the acts and getting liquor if they chose to do so, and I gave checks, as is done in other theatres, and some of my city customers availed themselves of the opportunity to go out for drinks and return again. Practically, then, it was much the same as if I had kept a bar in the Museum, and so I abolished the check business. There was great reason to apprehend that such a course would rob me of the patronage of a considerable class of play-goers, but I rigidly adhered to the new rule, and what I may have lost in money, I more than gained in the greater decorum which characterized my audiences.

白话

巴纳姆进一步改革剧院陋习,冒着收入损失取消了其他剧院常见的“三层”区域,也不设酒吧。他无法阻止观众幕间出去喝酒再回来,于是干脆取消存票根制度,免得变相鼓励。他担心会失去一批戏迷,但坚持新规,结果观众举止更得体,收获远大于损失。核心是:真正的原则要落到具体规则上,哪怕短期少赚钱。做法:找出你行业里“大家都这样”的灰色做法;用规则堵住漏洞,而不是只靠自觉;接受短期流失,换取长期品牌和氛围。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中讲述他如何改革博物馆剧院的经营陋习,包括取消“三层”和酒吧、存票根制度。

今日一问

你行业里哪个“大家都这样”的灰色做法,你可以率先取消?
