你错在哪?(之四)

Jul 31, 2023

智者的细语胜过官长在愚人中的喊叫。(传道书9:17)

有一天,西底迦王对先知耶利米说:“我要问你一件事,你不可隐瞒。”(耶利米书38:14)西底迦展示了非凡的智慧。有一位作者写道:“我从避免潜在的坏消息变成主动邀请它,多年以来,我让圈内的成员向我提出尖锐的问题,并让他们在不同意时,给我提建议。我不想在做出决定之后,再听到团员说:‘我当时就认为这个决定不好。’我希望他们从起初就告诉我,而不是等到他们的建议用不上再说,那就为时已晚了。在决策之前持反对意见绝非不忠。你要允许他们提出尖锐的问题,并反驳你的观点。这个决定必须是由领袖传递给他人。很多时候,领袖们宁愿随从视而不见,也不喜欢有人直言不讳。然而,如果做决定时都沉默不语,等到执行后就不见得会闭口不言了。”弗兰西斯·培根(Sir Francis Bacon)评述:“如果以肯定开始,必将以怀疑告终;如果愿以怀疑开始,必将以肯定告终。” 约伯说:“人们期待聆听我的话,默然等候我的教导。”(约伯记29:21)你必须时常问自己:“我对错误持什么样的态度?我承认自己的错误吗?我从中学习到东西吗?我能获得最好的建议吗?”
