拉里*:我目前在霍尼韦尔的工作就是要在这个组织中重新建立起一种它已经失去了的执行文化。许多人认为执行是一种过于细节性的工作,企业领导者一般是不屑为之的。而我要在这里明确指出,这种观点是错误的。事实恰恰相反,执行应当是一名领导者最重要的工作。事情开始于1991年,当时,在通用电气工作了34年之后我被任命为联信公司的CEO。由于已经熟悉了通用电气这样一个言出必践的环境,所以我理所当然地认为每个人都能够将自己的计划转化为实际的行动,但事实证明我想错了。到达联信公司之后,我发现人们的计划和他们的行动之间实际上存在着很大的差距,这让我大吃一惊。公司里有很多聪明而勤奋的员工,但他们的工作效率却非常低下,而且他们并不看重实际的执行工作。...

The bullfrogs trumpto usher in the night, and the note of the whip-poor-will is borne...
古希腊(公元前12世纪到公元前9~8世纪)是世界四大文明古国之一,它为人类留下了一笔辉煌灿烂的文化财富。古希腊的神话和传说就是其中最为瑰丽的珍宝。世界有许多民族,每个民族都创作出了它自己的神话和传说,这些神话都有自己民族的特点,但也都有共同的性质。无论是中国神话、希腊神话、印度神话、希伯来神话、北欧神话,甚至是地处偏僻,人数不多的民族或部落,都有自己的天界和它的统治者,都有自己的冥界及其主宰,也都有各式各样,各司其职的神。然而在各民族神话中,希腊神话最为丰富和谱系化了。中国神话虽然多彩多姿,林林总总,形象生动,极富想像力,但散见于经史子集,笔记、类书中,零碎芜杂,从未荟萃成书,更没有谱系化。希腊神话及其英雄传说,起于口传,之后见之于文字,到荷马的两大史诗中,神的世界已经脉络清晰,英雄传说更为完整。荷马之后的古希腊诗人赫西俄德(公元前8~7世纪),在自己的长诗《神...

我迷上了一只鸟 葱油虾皮炒饭 家里的鱼儿昨晚全部死光光。又拿着一点鱼缸里的水去宠物店,请人家化验。店员说,刚刚买的水族箱,需要买坚强的鱼儿来建立一个良好的生态环境,然后,再养娇气的种类。可是一个问题涅,就是,坚强的鱼儿长得可真是不好看呀,让人没有多少买的愿望。 今天按照店员的吩咐,又一次端着一点水去店里化验,这次的水质,合格了。可是,可是,那种坚强的鱼儿卖光了。让明天再去买。猪头晚上一下班,就冲向鱼缸,撅着看,然后,失望地问,为啥米有鱼?这家伙的热情,比我这个当初张罗买鱼的人还要高涨。看来明天我还得再去呀。 鱼米有买到,偶被店里的一只白鸟给迷住了。这个小东西,好乖巧可爱聪明的样子啊,自己在笼子里玩得不亦乐乎―――用爪子撕下一张纸,嘴巴叼着一粒粮食,试图把粮食包进纸里。看见有人来看,更加变着把戏玩得欢,像小孩子在人前显摆自己的本事一样,神情可爱极了。可...
