P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 257

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

The years 1848 and 1849 were mainly spent with my family, though I went every week to New York to look after the interests of the American Museum. While I was in Europe, in 1845, my agent, Mr. Fordyce Hitchcock, had bought out for me the Baltimore Museum, a fully-supplied establishment, in full operation, and I placed it under the charge of my uncle, Alanson Taylor. He died in 1846, and I then sold the Baltimore Museum to the “Orphean Family,” by whom it was subsequently transferred to Mr. John E. Owens, the celebrated comedian. After my return from Europe, I opened, in 1849, a Museum in Dr. Swain’s fine building, at the corner of Chestnut and Seventh streets, in Philadelphia.

白话

1848和1849年,巴纳姆主要陪家人,但每周仍去纽约照看美国博物馆的生意。早在1845年他旅欧时,代理人就替他买下了巴尔的摩博物馆,他交给叔叔管理;叔叔1846年去世后,他把博物馆卖给一个剧团,后来转到喜剧演员欧文斯手里。从欧洲回来后,他又在费城开了一家新博物馆。这说明他善于用代理人和收购来扩张,同时保持对核心资产的关注。可执行的做法是,把日常运营交给可靠的人,自己只抓关键决策和每周检查。

今日一问

你能否把某件日常事务交给可靠的人,只保留每周一次的检查?
