Howard Wilkinson, former manager of Leeds United, knows about pressure: “No offence to captains of industry but even a FTSE 100 chairman can postpone a board meeting. A manager can’t postpone a football match and every match is a shareholder meeting, [sometimes] in front of 88,000 people.”
利兹联队(Leeds United)前主教练霍华德•威尔金森(Howard Wilkinson)明白什么是压力:“我无意冒犯企业界的领袖们,但即便是富时100指数(FTSE 100)成分股企业的董事长,也能推迟董事会会议。而足球俱乐部的主教练是不能推迟比赛的。每场比赛都是一次股东大会,(有时)要面对8.8万人。”
Mr Wilkinson’s comment also underlines what plenty of corporate executives – dazzled by insights imparted by their sporting idols – tend to forget. Leading a business is not like leading a sports team.
威尔金森的话还着重指出了很多企业高管(这些高管为其体育偶像传授的深刻见解所倾倒)往往会忽视的东西:领导一家企业与领导一支球队是不同的。
In fact, it is much harder.
实际上,前者的难度要大的多。
It is certainly tough at the top of both worlds. Mr Wilkinson was speaking at the launch of The Manager, a book of management insights from top football coaches such as Chelsea’s José Mourinho.
处在这两个领域的最顶端肯定都很艰难。威尔金森是在《主教练》(The Manager)一书的发布会上发表上述言论的。这本书讲述了一些最优秀足球主教练的管理见解,切尔西队(Chelsea)的若泽•穆里尼奥(José Mourinho)就是其中之一。
