Today's advice comes from Autodesk Inc. CEO Carl Bass:
今天MBA小課堂的嘉賓是Autodesk Inc.首席執(zhí)行官Carl Bass:
"I think it’s real easy as a leader to confuse what the results are today with the actions that happened a while ago, because then you just start coasting."
“我認(rèn)為作為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者真的很容易混淆過去的行為與該行為所產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果,那就意味著你已經(jīng)開始走下坡路了?!?/div>
Bass says the problem is that companies use factors like revenue and profit to measure their success, but it's possible that these things are still positive even after a company has lost its original spark.
Bass表示,問題就在于公司總是在用績效和收益來衡量公司的成功與否。但是,計(jì)時(shí)在公司出現(xiàn)問題之后,這些東西可能還是顯示良好。
"I’ve been spending a lot more time trying to quantify or figure out if what we’re doing is right, or whether what we’re really doing is just celebrating the result of things that happened a while ago."
“一直以來,我都花大量的時(shí)間嘗試著確定或指出是否我們在做的事情是正確的,或者是否我們真正在做的只是在享受之前的成果?!?/div>
