P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 264

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

Reflecting that very much would depend upon the manner in which she should be brought before the public, I saw that my task would be an exceedingly arduous one. It was possible, I knew, that circumstances might occur which would make the enterprise disastrous. “The public” is a very strange animal, and although a good knowledge of human nature will generally lead a caterer of amusements to hit the people, they are fickle, and ofttimes perverse. A slight misstep in the management of a public entertainment, frequently wrecks the most promising enterprise. But I had marked the “divine Jenny” as a sure card, and to secure the prize I began to cast about for a competent agent.

白话

巴纳姆明白,如何把珍妮·林德推向公众至关重要,任务极其艰巨。他清楚可能出现意外导致失败。公众是个奇怪的动物,虽然懂人性通常能投其所好,但他们善变、有时反常。公共娱乐管理稍有不慎,常会毁掉最有希望的事业。但他认定珍妮是稳赢的牌,于是开始物色能干的代理人。核心是:再好的项目,呈现方式和管理细节决定成败。做法:预判风险,找对执行人。
