The cost of a closed mind
封闭性心理的代价
When Gaddis was a marketing executive, her chief executive was overbearing, assumed he was always right, and failed to listen to others. During an economic downturn, Gaddis developed an idea on how to change the company’s direction to recover from the slump. She wrote a business plan and, full of excitement, presented it to her boss and mentor.
加迪斯担任市场营销总监时,她所在公司的首席执行官专横傲慢,认为自己始终都是正确的,从来不听从其他人的意见。在经济低迷时期,对于如何改变公司的方向,从衰退中恢复过来,加迪斯产生了一个想法。她写了一份商业计划,怀着万分激动的心情,将计划书提交给自己的老板兼导师。
“He said, ‘I don’t support your plan and I’m not going to be a part of it.’ I was so shot down by that,” she recalls, that she quit to pursue her idea. “I learned that is a very important quality: you’ve got to listen to the people around you.”
她回忆道:“他说:‘我不支持你的计划,我不会参与其中。’这让我深受打击。”于是,她放弃了继续推行自己的创意。“我学到了一种非常重要的品质:你必须听取周围的人的意见。”
Gaddis never would’ve thought to go out on her own if the door hadn’t been slammed so firmly in her face by the CEO. Indeed, his refusal to listen was part of her motivation to hit the ground running.
