Last week I stumbled upon an article by the chief executive of Boston Consulting Group telling twentysomethings how to “accelerate” their careers. Rich Lesser has based his advice on his own splendid, if safe, one — a few years at Procter & Gamble followed by an MBA from Harvard and then 28 years at BCG. Along the way he has spoken to thousands of young people and felt moved to tell them where they were going wrong — and how they could become more like him.
近日我偶然看見一篇由波士頓諮詢集團(BCG)執行長里奇•萊塞(Rich Lesser)寫的文章,講的是20多歲的年輕人該如何「促進」自身事業的發展。萊塞的建議是基於他自身輝煌(也四平八穩)的職業經歷提出的——在寶僑(Procter & Gamble)工作了幾年後,他從哈佛取得了MBA學位,隨後在BCG工作了28年。一路走來,他對無數年輕人講過話,併發自內心地覺得應該告訴他們哪裏做得不對——以及怎樣他們才能變得更像他。
