机器人不会拯救美国梦

Jack Ma, Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group, was once quoted in a CNN story saying: "In 30 years, a robot will likely be on the cover of 《推荐全球最大网赌正规平台欢迎您》杂志 作为最好的首席执行官,机器人更快,更多 rational than humans, and they don't get bogged down in emotions -- like 对竞争对手生气.” 

他们不会陷入情绪的泥潭? 更快更理性? It’s interesting that every major industrial innovation takes us further and further away from emotion, and in turn, human to human interaction. And it’s not a matter of resisting industrialization or advancement, it’s about realizing what happens when we begin removing people from the equation in business – bit by bit, little at a time. 这样做的时候, we deny them the opportunity for one of the most basic needs: 实现. 

A Gallup statistic I’ve quoted for a long time says that the number one determinant of happiness worldwide is a good job. 这是另一个 Gallup quote with resonance, this time from a recent column: 

   …the great American 梦想 is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that 梦想 more than it has at any 最近记忆中的时间. 一份好工作是一个人的基本身份, their very self-worth, their dignity — it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. 当推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜失败时 deliver a good job that fits a citizen’s talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American 梦想. 

 

怎么 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜得到了这个点? 更好的是,也许推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜应该问问自己如何 when our leadership in business began to fail “the great American 梦想.” 

If you look at the Industrial Revolution, when Henry Ford started making Model T Fords, mass production was about mass production. 这是 不是关于人的尊严或人的成长. 

有很多经济效益. 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜给予极大的信任 Industrial Revolution for raising the standard of living in our country, 这不是坏事吗. 汽车、制鞋和电器工厂纷纷落户 小社区. 

Henry Ford paid people fairly well, compared to what they could 在农场制作. But we took a farmer who had a craft and a pride in his craft, (though also an unpredictable income stream) and we gave him a 在工厂工作. And he went from being a craftsman in his trade or working on a farm and we put him on an assembly line where he put on a Hubcap每15秒一次. 

Then we measured how fast he put on those hubcaps and we thought, 也许推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜能让他在12秒内搞定. 为什么? 不去创造更多 meaningful role for this man or woman, but because we wanted to make 更多的钱. We wanted to get our cost down so people would buy more 汽车. We were enamored with mass production and the wealth it created. 

And, because we were focused on wealth creation and not people, Unions were formed to protect the people we employed because we were more interested in our product and our customers than our people. 

At some point, companies started making so much money, we could afford to be nice to people because we needed them to meet our market 需求. We gave them vacation time and benefits because we had to 争夺技术人才. 但是,就像以前一样,推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜不是为了 improve the lifestyle of the person, we did it because we needed them to 创造产品和财富. 

All of a sudden, in the 1950s and early 1960s, America started 面对更多的国际竞争. 他们的价格比推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的低 价格. Once this happened, we decided we couldn’t afford to give that skilled assembly worker in Evansville, Indiana or Toledo, Ohio $15 an 小时了. 

To maintain our profits and compete, we started moving good paying 工作机会转移到墨西哥等地,然后转移到巴西. 在埃文斯维尔和 托莱多被遗弃了. 现在推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜把这些工作转移到了中国,因为 we’re constantly in the search of the person who would work for 比上一个人少多了. 

Eventually, those more price competitive imports were of good or 更好的质量. So we went overseas to study innovations in industrial 流程改进,比如丰田的精益. 但是,再一次,它从来没有 enrich the person’s experience, it was to eliminate waste. 从来没有 about allowing people to express their gifts fully. 

That’s the piece business has lost and that’s the piece we’ve found 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜在Barry-Wehmiller的旅程. 人们有能力做出惊人的事情 things if we just give them the environment in which they can discover, develop, share, and be appreciated for their gifts. 创建 opportunities through which they can realize their potential and be appreciated for it is how we, in business, can fix the broken American 梦想. 

A quote from a recent CBS News article that references a New York Times poll says: 

   … The number of Americans who still believe in the American 梦想 正在下滑. 这是 72 percent in early 2009, at the worst of the financial crisis, and 64 percent this past December, in spite of the improved economy… The flip side of the news that faith in the American 梦想 has slipped to 64 percent, is that 64 percent — nearly two-thirds of Americans — still DO believe in an idea that is often about much more 而不是赚钱.

 

人们想要相信. 这是推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜作为领导者的责任 美国梦成为现实. 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜可以通过远离 singular focus on shareholder value and working toward leadership practices that create environments where people are given the 充分表达自己天赋的机会. 一个让人们 feel valued for who they are and what they do as we collectively aspire to a vision that creates value for all stakeholders.

Business could be the most powerful force for good if it simply 关心让这一切成为可能的生命. 这不是什么 这将发生在机器人ceo身上.
