P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 513

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

USE THE BEST TOOLS.--Men in engaging employees should be careful to get the best. Understand, you cannot have too good tools to work with, and there is no tool you should be so particular about as living tools. If you get a good one, it is better to keep him, than keep changing. He learns something every day, and you are benefited by the experience he acquires. He is worth more to you this year than last, and he is the last man to part with, provided his habits are good and he continues faithful. If, as he gets more valuable, he demands an exorbitant increase of salary on the supposition that you can’t do without him, let him go. Whenever I have such an employee, I always discharge him; first, to convince him that his place may be supplied, and second, because he is good for nothing if he thinks he is invaluable and cannot be spared.

白话

雇人就要挑最好的,因为工具越好,活干得越漂亮,而活人是最重要的工具。好员工别频繁换:他每天在学东西,经验越攒越多,今年就比去年更值钱,只要人品好、忠心,就最该留住。但如果他仗着你离不开他,狮子大开口要离谱的加薪,那就让他走。我遇到这种人就开除:一是让他知道他的位置有人能顶,二是一个人若自认不可替代,就已经没用了。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中谈用人之道,强调好员工要留,但挟功自傲、漫天要价的人不能惯。

今日一问

你团队里有没有自认不可替代的人?你打算怎么处理这种心态?
