很显然,假如你把一只青蛙扔进沸水里,青蛙会立即跳出来。但如果你把它放进常温的水里,给水逐渐加温,青蛙就会待在锅里直到死去。不管对青蛙而言这是否属实,我总会看到在管理者身上出现类似的情况。人们都有强烈的倾向去慢慢习惯于不可接受的事物,而如果他们以新的视角去看这些不可接受的事物,一看就会非常吃惊。 Apparently, if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump out immediately, but if you put it in room-temperature water and gradually bring it to a boil, it will stay in the pot until it dies. Whether or not that’s true of frogs, I see something similar happen to managers all the time. People have a strong tendency to slowly get used to unacceptable things that would shock them if they saw them with fresh eyes.
