布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 278

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

In order that I may keep in constant touch with the life of the institution, I have a system of reports so arranged that a record of the school’s work reaches me every day of the year, no matter in what part of the country I am. I know by these reports even what students are excused from school, and why they are excused—whether for reasons of ill health or otherwise. Through the medium of these reports I know each day what the income of the school in money is; I know how many gallons of milk and how many pounds of butter come from the dairy; what the bill of fare for the teachers and students is; whether a certain kind of meat was boiled or baked, and whether certain vegetables served in the dining room were bought from a store or procured from our own farm. Human nature I find to be very much the same the world over, and it is sometimes not hard to yield to the temptation to go to a barrel of rice that has come from the store—with the grain all prepared to go in the pot—rather than to take the time and trouble to go to the field and dig and wash one’s own sweet potatoes, which might be prepared in a manner to take the place of the rice.

白话

为了随时掌握学校动态,华盛顿设计了一套报告系统,无论他在全国何处,每天都能收到学校工作的记录。他甚至知道哪些学生被请假、原因是什么;每天知道学校收入多少、奶牛产多少奶、黄油多少磅、师生菜单是什么、某种肉是煮的还是烤的、蔬菜是买的还是自产的。他坦言人性相通,有时会想偷懒用现成的米而不是去地里挖红薯。这说明,精细的数据报告能帮助管理者远程掌控细节,但也要警惕过度控制,避免陷入琐碎。今天,利用数字化工具可以实时了解组织运行,但关键是要平衡细节与信任。
