尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 成长 · 行动 · 领导

We have in Italy, for example, the Duke of Ferrara, who could not have withstood the attacks of the Venetians in ’84, nor those of Pope Julius in ’10, unless he had been long established in his dominions. For the hereditary prince has less cause and less necessity to offend; hence it happens that he will be more loved; and unless extraordinary vices cause him to be hated, it is reasonable to expect that his subjects will be naturally well disposed towards him; and in the antiquity and duration of his rule the memories and motives that make for change are lost, for one change always leaves the toothing for another.

白话

例如意大利的费拉拉公爵,如果不是长期统治他的领地,他就无法抵御1484年威尼斯人的攻击,也无法抵御1510年教皇尤利乌斯的攻击。世袭君主较少有冒犯臣民的理由和必要,因此更受爱戴;除非有非凡的恶行招致憎恨,臣民自然对他有好感;而且统治年代久远,人们淡忘了变革的动机和记忆,因为一次变革总是为下一次变革留下齿槽。

上下文

马基雅维利以费拉拉公爵为例,说明世袭统治的稳定性,强调时间积累的合法性优势。

今日一问

你的团队或组织是否积累了足够的“合法性”来抵御冲击?
