……我会推荐……吉姆·柯林斯的《从优秀到卓越》、肯·布兰佳的《一分钟经理人》、马库斯·白金汉和柯特·科夫曼的《首先,打破一切常规》、史蒂芬·柯维的《高效能人士的七个习惯》、汤姆·彼得斯的《追求卓越》
…I'd recommend.... Good to Great by Jim Collins One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard First, Break All The Rules by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey In Search of Excellence by Tom Peters
额。这篇文章原来是写给大公司那类人看的,不是给创业者看的。反正大公司的创新几乎从来就没搞成过。《追求卓越》的作者针对这点做过极佳的研究,发现那些产生重大影响的发明,几乎无一例外都出自几十人以下的小公司。
Hum. This article turned out to be targeted at big company types, not entrepreneurs. Innovation at big companies almost never works anyway. The authors of "In Search of Excellence" did excellent research on just that, and found that inventions which had big impacts almost always came from companies with less than a few dozen people.
托马斯·J·彼得斯与罗伯特·H·沃特曼,2004年。《追求卓越:美国优秀企业的管理秘诀》,哈珀平装本。别管批评者怎么评价这本书,因为我觉得这本书的亮点在于他们对企业文化的研究案例,以及……
Thomas, J.P. & Robert, H.W Jr 2004. "In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies", Harper Paperbacks. Ignore what the critics say about this book because I think this book's strengths is in their case studies on the company cultures and…
……写到这里。斯特朗克和怀特,你们的实证数据在哪?对照组在哪?偏微分方程又在哪?还有一些书带有商业效率类书籍的色彩,满是人尽皆知的常识性点子,比如《追求卓越》(里面的案例全是编造的,合著者居然还说这有什么大不了的?)就连弗雷德·布鲁克斯的《人月神话》——以他在IBM领导那场押上整个公司前途的巨型“360”项目的经历为基础——也同样缺乏数据……
…to writing. Strunk and White, where is your empirical data? What's your control? Where are your PDE's? Some also have aspects of business productivity books, with well-known common-sense ideas, like In Search of Excellence (which made up case studies, and a co-author said what's the problem?) Even Fred Brooks' Mythical Man-Month - informed by his leadership of the massive bet-the-company "360" project at IBM - lacks data.…
……写到的那样,那将彻底推翻《从优秀到卓越》。大家也可以想象,在这两极之间可能存在一些没那么清晰的情况。顺便说一句,你的观点让我想起了人们对《追求卓越》(当年的《从优秀到卓越》)的类似评价,书里那些“卓越”的公司几年之后似乎就没那么卓越了。
…wrote about, that would refute GtG pretty well. One can also imagine scenarios between these two poles where it might not be so clear. By the way, your point reminds me of a similar one people made about In Search of Excellence (the GtG of its day), the "excellent" companies of which didn't seem so excellent a few years later.
这里的核心启示应该是:如果一本书没有系统性地去审视赢家和输家之间的差异,那就赶紧把它扔一边走人。读这种书,真是看一句蠢一句。所以别看《追求卓越》了。去试试《如何成为职场之星》(How To Be a Star at Work)这类书吧,它是基于对员工生产力相当严谨的研究写成的。
The takeaway here should be: if the book doesn't systematically examine the differences between winners and losers, drop it and walk away. Sentence by sentence, it's making you dumber. So forget In Search of Excellence. Try books like How To Be a Star at Work, which is based on a pretty rigorous study of employee productivity.
