每日原则: 最重要的责任人是在最高层负责订立目标、规划成果和组织实施的人

我需要的是能在某一方面独当一面的人——通过善规划、能用人、会调配来达成目标，对此我会很欣慰，事情也能进展顺利。这些就是要好好挑、好好管的最重要的人。高层管理者必须能进行高层次的思考，清楚目标与任务之间的差别，否则你就不得不去做本该由下属完成的事。尽管经验可能有所帮助，但评断目标的能力主要是天生的。它可以测试出来，尽管从来没有完美的测试。

Give me someone who can be responsible for an entire area--someone who can design, hire, and sort to achieve the goal--and I can be comfortable things will go well. These are the most important people to choose and manage well. Senior managers must be capable of higher-level thinking, and understand the difference between goals and tasks-- otherwise you will have to do their jobs for them. The ability to see and value goals is largely innate, though it improves with experience. It can be tested for, though no tests are perfect.
