在所有似是而非的管理歪经中,有一段最让我受不了。
美西战争爆发后,美国需要尽快联系到西班牙反抗军首领加西亚将军,而后者藏身在古巴山区的密林。总统听说有个名叫罗文的人,只有他能找到加西亚。于是他们把罗文找来,交给他一封写给加西亚的信。关于罗文如何拿了信,把它装进一个油布制的袋里封好吊在胸口,划着一艘小船,四天之后的夜里在古巴上岸,消逝于丛林中,接着在三个星期后从古巴岛的那一边出来,如何徒步走过一个危机四伏的国家,把那封信交给了加西亚等等这些细节都不是重点,重点是麦金利总统把一封致加西亚的信交给了罗文,而罗文接过信之后,并没有问:“他在什么地方?”
以上并非摘要,故事就这么长。1899年阿尔伯特哈伯德在自家杂志上发表,随后连载系列文章。一个世纪以来,以《把信送给加西亚》为主要内容的书被翻译成各种文字,由各国政府军队和企业将此书赠送给士兵和职员,作为培养敬业守则的读本,号称世界第六畅销书。
2002年一个三岁就很胖的家伙买了堆廉价书送朋友,现在回想起来,《把信送给加西亚》所提倡的敬业、服从、勤奋,给刚或将工作的小青年无疑是及时的。但看过整本书没提送信过程更多细节,只是左右反复一味地赞赏罗文中尉“什么也不问就去送信”的德行,就让人恼火了。
看我们身边,有多少人终日像罗文一声不吭却疲于奔命?
又有谁凭沉默出了人头地?在这个做秀的时代。
罗文无疑是成功的,对他的成功之道,我做如下理解:
1.罗文没有问“加西亚在什么地方”不代表他不找向导,不查地图,不带纸笔和信号弹。相反,罗文是古巴通,知道找加西亚应该问谁去哪找怎么去,而总统知道这事可以交给罗文,双方都应用了信息时代的生存技能:“我不知道答案,但我知道问谁”。
“信息爆炸”这词在世纪末流行一时,早已经淡出报端,看来老百姓适应爆炸挺快的。到今天这个后爆炸时代已经没什么非记住不可的网址,但你至少得会上goobai,接下来就全靠专业知识去确定答案。假如对古巴一窍不通,罗文的反应也只能是“谁?哪?”,不知道还不问,那叫缺心眼。
2.及时反馈。余世维讲过一次他为总部订会议酒店,来回几个电报,最后搞定。发给总部的几个电报都是陈述情况汇报进展,而总部每次的回电只有俩字“了解”。其实汇报就等于请示,因为中间可能执行有误或需求变化,“了解”即等于“没问题,请继续”。某些情况下,任务的结果不那么重要,执行过程中形成的职业素质,却影响终身。
罗文深知自己要直面一切困难,更要让老板放心。不问,体现他专业的自信,是让老板放心的办法之一,不问,但一定有“yes sir no problem sir”。接下来执行过程中的反馈更重要,百多年前资讯落后,罗文可以消失几周穿越丛林,换成今天48小时没消息就得派人救他。更别说一旦信送到,如何及时报知总统,如何送回信,那又是另一个故事。
麦金利总统也是成功的,值得企业领导人学习:
3.知人善任是真正的钥匙。总统之所以成为总统,罗文永远是他的兵,在众多赤胆忠心中,只有罗文能解决“找到加西亚”的问题,而总统知道这一点。身为老板经常头疼的就是员工一大把,遇事无人可用。没有专业人士辅佐,老板就是一可怜虫,空喊“没有条件创造条件”和“别提过程我只要结果”除了扮酷有屁用?
4.疑人不用用人不疑。中小企业的号召力凝聚力不能跟联邦政府似的,送信的任务倒是都差不多。一件零碎差使会影响员工前程,而老板的人心得失,往往也是因为小事儿。要达到双方信任,培养良好的职业素质是前提,从这个角度说,教会员工沟通,而不是沉默,非常重要。有了前提,还要有一套可操作的办法来确保信息的真实准确及时。美国总统是怎样发现和了解罗文,又凭什么相信罗文所开辟的线索,敢以将士的生命交托其上?
即将结语时想起国粹中的著名悲剧《失空斩》。罗文接活的效率投合了收集愚忠的老板们,但千万别当它是美国精神,总统一句话,罗文一抬腿,事就能成,拉登早逮住了。罗文的爽快是榜样,马谡同样的爽快却成为教训。有时如鱼得水和所托非人只差一寸远。细节既然难考,我们只能说,罗文是执行者的典范,总统是决策者的典范,再将他们形象定格放大,拿来拜几下。

I discovered more interesting things on this weight-loss issue. One issue is a good nutrition is extremely vital any time dieting. An enormous reduction in fast foods, sugary ingredients, fried foods, sweet foods, red meat, and white colored flour products may be necessary. Retaining wastes organisms, and toxins may prevent goals for losing weight. While certain drugs quickly solve the challenge, the bad side effects aren't worth it, and so they never give more than a short-lived solution. It is just a known fact that 95% of fad diets fail. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this web site.
