《Give respect and get performance 》

新浪 @ 鬼谷一喵 姚洋老师授课丗1312-6505-007电联

It sounds clichéd, but to get the best from your people, you have to show

respect for them. This can result in surprising decisions. There was a time when some people regarded workers in England as lazy and careless, but I recognized that England has a very strong appreciation of craftsmanship and tradition, so we

purchased a high-end footwear company, Church’s shoes. People in Italy thought this was crazy.

Our first challenge was to decide what to do with the factories. Church’s

owned a plant in the middle of Northampton that employed 600 people, and the smart move appeared to be to relocate it out of town, which would give us more space at less cost. But when I visited the factory, I saw that peopl e’s lives were organized

around its location. Most employees lived nearby and would go home for lunch. If we moved them out of town, we’d be robbing them of an hour at home and forcing them to bring sandwiches to work. Their quality of life would be compromised, and they wouldn’t be getting anything in return. So we kept the factory in town.

That decision has paid dividends. We retained nearly all the company’s very

hardworking and talented people, who have rewarded us with increased productivity. And we’ve proved a larger point: English workers are both cheaper and more industrious than Continental workers.

You could say that work is about duties. People have a duty to work hard

for me, but I have a duty to respect them as individuals. Another duty I have is to help them learn. That’s a duty I owe to the company as well as to my employees, because a company whose managers take seriously the obligation to help their people improve will be a lot more competitive. Prada is rather good at developing talented employees. Many of our senior managers joined us as young people, and many of the people who have left us have gone on to launch successful businesses of their own.

2. Translate the following passage into English :

《重用年轻经理》

我特别推崇年轻人。

我们总是花费过多时间去担心他们的滥性和吸食大麻问题，而忽略了他们的精力和理想，这恰恰会产生巨大的生产力。出于这个原因，我不相信在最底层开始年轻的经理。他们无法学到更多的东西，我也不能从他们所懂的东西中受益。

当我雇用年轻人时，那是因为他们能够为我提供一些东西。他们必须明白公司中的其他人都在做什么。我可不希望一个年轻的市场人员去花时间做针线活，因为我需要她清楚的明白年轻顾客最需要什么。你得让年轻的一代去体验这个世界，这并不意味着花时间呆在诸如在纽约，巴黎和洛杉矶这种地方。普拉达需要一些了解非洲的年轻人。

当我展望未来时，我相信我们还会犯更多的错误。但是我坚信，只要我们坚持我们的原则，坚持在公司高层安排一些外向型的年轻人，这些错误都不会是致命的。
