年末,工作人請問問自己──是雞還是豬?

有一天,一隻雞和一頭豬去逛街,在路上遇到有人賣美式早餐(基本形款是兩個蛋 + 培根+ 麵包+ 咖啡),每份售價是一美元。雞看了,覺得很便宜啊!轉頭問豬,豬卻說很貴很貴!

為什么?

分別在於,雞一天下一個蛋,兩天生產兩個蛋,就足夠應付一份美式早餐的需求,毫髮無損。
豬可不一樣了,一片片的培根,卻是豬賠了老命換來的,跟下蛋的雞比起來,豬當然覺得美式早餐很貴啊!

其實,故事要表達的,是企業里兩種員工的心態,雞提供勞務換取所需,但是不賣命,這樣的員工是屬於 "Contribution "(貢獻)類的打工型(通是中下階層員工)。豬則是屬於"Commitment "(承諾)一類,就是為了公司好,命賣掉也在所不惜的死忠型(多半是高階主管)。

公司里,如果員工都是雞,就會有流動性高、無法長期經營、應付激烈競爭的問題;假如豬太多,很容易造成內鬥嚴重、沒有活力,到頭來變成一灘死水,無法創造新局。

所以,每家企業必須找出正確、適當的豬和雞的比例,才能應付生存的挑戰。

The Financier QUOTES

There is nothing so comfortable as money, - but nothing so defiling if it be come by unworthily; nothing so comfortable, but nothing so noxious if the mind be allowed to dwell upon it constantly. If a man have enough, let him spend it freely. If he wants it, let him earn it honestly.

With money and wine, you will have many friends, but when you are in trouble, will you see even one?

When it comes to money, it's better to do nothing than to do something you don't understand.

The easier way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.
