jobs." "他们说,头脑中存有一幅奶酪的景像——看见自己在新的工作中干得很好——会使他们的感觉好一些。尤其是使他们在面试的时候表现得更为出色。有些人还因此得到了比原来更好的工作。" Laura asked, "What about the people who remained in your company?" 劳拉问:"那些留在公司里的人又怎样呢?
" "Well," Michael said, "instead of complaining about the changes that were happening, people now said, 'They just moved our Cheese. Let's look for the New Cheese'. It saved a lot of time and reduced stress. "噢,"迈克尔说:"人们不再抱怨市场环境正在发生的种种变化。
他们说'既然我们的旧奶酪已经不见了,那么让我们去找新的奶酪吧。这省去公司许多的协调时间,也减少了公司内部的紧张感和压力。" "Before long, the people who had been resisting saw the advantage of changing. They even helped bring about change." "不久前还完全拒绝变化的人,如今也透过这个小故事看一了变化的好处。
他们越来越喜欢变化,并且积极创造有利于公司发展的变化。" Cory said, "Why do you think they changed?" 柯瑞说:"是什么使得他们改变了呢?" "They changed after the peer pressure in our company changed." "我认为这和公司里存在的同事之间的相互影响力有关系,"迈克尔答道:"如果这种影响力改变了,人们就会跟着发生改变。
" He asked, "What happens in most organizations you've been in when a change is announced by top management? Do most people say the change is a great idea or a bad idea?" "大家可以回想一下,在你呆过的机构里面,当上级宣布一项改变时,大多数人会有什么反应呢?
大多数人会说这改变是一个好主意还是一个坏主意?" "A bad idea," Frank answered. "一个坏主意。"弗兰克答道。"Yes," Michael agreed. ''Why?'' "没错。
"迈克尔表示同意,又接着问道:"为什么会这样呢?" Carlos said, "Because people want things to stay the same and they think change will be bad for them. When one person says the change is a bad idea, others say the same." 卡洛斯说:"我想是因为大多数人都喜欢稳定和安全感,他们觉得改变会带给自己麻烦甚至有可能性对自己不利。
当有一个人说这种改变是一个坏主意时,其他人通常会随声附和。" "Yes, they may not really feel that way," Michael said, "but they agree in order to fit in. That's the sort of peer pressure that fights change in any organization." "的确如此,但这些随声附和的人在心里也许并不真的这样认为。
"迈克尔说:"只是他们为了看起来和最先提议反对的那个人一样聪明以及显得全群,就会随声附和。这就是我所说的同事之间的相互影响力。这种影响力通常会阻碍机构中发生的变化。" Becky asked, "So how were things different after people heard the Cheese story?" 贝基问道:"那么当人们听到奶酪的故事以后,情况又怎么样了?
" Michael said simply, "The peer pressure changed because no one wanted to look like Hem!" 迈克尔耸了耸肩膀,轻松地说:"情况是同事之间的相互影响力改变了,因为大家都不希望自己被别人叫作哼哼!
