本日佳句 - Jason Calacanis
Posted in Investment, Quote on Nov 5th, 2008
It’s emotional, it’s personal, and it sucks. I’m not one to get depressed, but I would be lying if I told you that I haven’t been depressed about having to do these layoffs. While emotion is great when you’re in the heat of competition, it really doesn’t help that much when you’re doing strategy work. As such, you need to get the members of your management team to agree that you’re going to pursue your very difficult job with as little emotion as possible. If it helps, pretend you’re an outside consultant and you’ve been given the task to “save the company” with these cuts–because that’s not far off from the truth.
In other words, try and detach yourself from the emotion of the situation so you can make the right decisions. You’re going to have to tap into that emotional stuff later anyway–conserve it during your analysis and strategy. (source)
把”layoffs”替換成「砍掉手中虧損的投資部位」似乎也是相當合適。想像自己就是自己顧來的個人顧問，用第三人稱觀點來分析目前面對的問題，以及下一步該怎麼做。不帶有任何情感。
