Band of Brothers
一部由葛萊哥雷˙畢克飾演的麥克阿瑟將軍傳電影全劇,就是以這篇演講詞開頭,這篇演講詞結束的,經歷過兩次世界大戰的將軍,沉穩莊嚴的語調,刻劃在每一位在座的軍校學生以及觀眾的心中。這篇演講詞,也被編入美國陸軍軍官操典手冊中,足見內容的影響深遠。這確實是很感人的演講詞。
西點軍校,是國際知名的軍事指揮官養成學校,它不但培養出許多美國著名的將領,也培養出許多國家的優秀軍官;它更傑出的成就,是為各行各業培養出傑出的總經理,首席執行長,董事長的人數,遠遠超過全球任何商學院校。經由一本暢銷非文學小說『沒有任何藉口』的說明,讓更多企業從業人員認識到忠誠與紀律的重要,不亞於品質與社會責任。
最近我正在讀Stephen E. Ambrose所寫的『Band of Brothers』。這部小說,曾被HBO電視台改編成電視連續劇。國內的劇名:『兄弟連』。書中有段描述,可以與這講詞的內容相應証:
……………
So this was the test. Back in ’42 the question was, Can a citizen army be trained and prepared well enough to fight Germans in a protracted campaign in Northwest Europe? Hitler was not the only one who had answered no. But the answer that counted would come on the snow-filled fields of Belgium in January 1945, for Easy Company the test was now being given.
The sergeants had it ready to be tested. The Toccoa core of the company was ready to be led, and to lead. At this moment, Speirs arrived, breathless. He managed to blurt out to Dike, “I’m taking over.”
Sergeant Lipton and the others filled him in. He barked out orders, 2d platoon this way, 3d platoon that way, get those mortars humping, all-out with those machine-guns, let’s go. And he took off, not looking back, depending on the men to follow. They did.
………………
摘自Band of Brothers P.283
這段描述是多少企業家、總經理乃至於生產線上的課長、班組長夢想的情景────在長期的辛苦的工作環境中,一聲令下,仍舊全員動員,仍舊沒有疑慮,仍舊沒有異議。領導者不懷疑部屬的忠誠與能力,部屬不懷疑領導者的正直與決策。試問有多少主管敢回答:我帶的團隊絕對可以做到!
『團隊』絕不是口號下的精神產物,而是團體內部各個成員不自滿的學習,寬容的胸襟,自由的環境,無私無忌妒的參與,日積月累的成果。
團體內所有成員沒有經歷─責任,榮譽,國家〔或是企業〕這種觀念以及行動的薰陶,不能成就─Band of Brothers
我是這麼認為的。
