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.
近日我偶然看见一篇由波士顿咨询集团(BCG)首席执行官里奇•莱塞(Rich Lesser)写的文章,讲的是20多岁的年轻人该如何“促进”自身事业的发展。莱塞的建议是基于他自身辉煌(也四平八稳)的职业经历提出的——在宝洁(Procter & Gamble)工作了几年后,他从哈佛取得了MBA学位,随后在BCG工作了28年。一路走来,他对无数年轻人讲过话,并发自内心地觉得应该告诉他们哪里做得不对——以及怎样他们才能变得更像他。
