奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

"FORWARD THEN," said the Little Corporal, without heeding their account of apparently insurmountable difficulties. England and Austria laughed in scorn at the idea of transporting across the Alps, where "no wheel had ever rolled, or by any possibility could roll," an army of sixty thousand men, with ponderous artillery, tons of cannon balls and baggage, and all the bulky munitions of war. But the besieged Massena was starving in Genoa, and the victorious Austrians thundered at the gates of Nice, and Napoleon was not the man to fail his former comrades in their hour of peril.

白话

拿破仑面对翻越阿尔卑斯山的巨大困难,只说“那就前进吧”。英奥两国嘲笑说,那里从未有车轮滚过,也不可能滚过,六万大军带着沉重火炮和弹药根本过不去。但热那亚被围的马塞纳正在挨饿,奥军已逼近尼斯城门,拿破仑不会在战友危难时退缩。核心是:真正的领导者不被“不可能”吓倒,而是看到必须行动的理由。做法是:当别人说不可能时,先问“如果必须做到,我该怎么做?”然后立即行动,而不是争论可行性。
