P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 479
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
After a truly delightful visit in Holland, we went back to England; and, proceeding to Manchester, opened our exhibition. For several days the hall was crowded to overflowing at each of the three, and sometimes four, entertainments we gave every day. By this time, my wife and two youngest daughters had come over to London, and I hired furnished lodgings in the suburbs where they could live within the strictest limits of economy. It was necessary now for me to return for a few weeks to America, to assist personally in forwarding a settlement of the clock difficulties. So leaving the little General in the hands of trusty and competent agents to carry on the exhibitions in my absence, I set my face once more towards home and the west, and took steamer at Liverpool for New York.

白话
巴纳姆结束愉快的荷兰之行回到英国,在曼彻斯特开展览,每天三到四场,场场爆满。这时妻子和两个小女儿已到伦敦,他却在郊区租了最省钱的带家具房子让她们住。因为钟表生意的问题需要他回美国几周亲自处理,他便把展览交给可靠能干的代理人,自己从利物浦坐船回纽约。核心是:生意扩张时,个人生活可以节俭,但关键事务必须亲自抓;同时要敢于授权,把日常运营交给可信的人。
上下文
巴纳姆在回忆录中讲述自己巡回展览期间的家庭安排和跨洋处理生意危机的经历。
今日一问
我手头哪些事必须亲自处理,哪些可以放心交给可靠的人?
