  • Bartleby
  • 巴托比专栏
  • A question of judgment
  • 判断力问题
  • A quality that is hard to define but important to possess
  • 一种很难定义但是很重要的品质。
  • The pandemic has required many people to make difficult judgments.
  • 疫情需要许多人做出艰难的判断。
  • Politicians have had to decide which restrictions to impose on citizens' behaviour and individuals were forced to assess how much personal risk to take.
  • 政治家们必须决定对公民的行为施加哪些限制,而个人则被迫估计要承担多少个人风险。
  • Managers, faced with tough calls like which parts of their operations to close, have not been spared.
  • 管理者们也未能幸免,他们面临着诸如关闭哪些业务部门这样的艰难抉择。
  • Good judgment is a quality everyone would like to have.
  • 每个人都希望拥有良好的判断力这样的品质。
  • But it is remarkably difficult to define precisely, and many people are not sure whether they personally possess it.
  • 但是很难对良好的判断力进行准确定义,很多人也不确定自己是否拥有这种能力。
  • Sir Andrew Likierman of the London Business School has spent a long time talking to leaders in a wide range of fields, from business and the army to the law and medicine,
  • 伦敦商学院的安德鲁·利基尔曼爵士花了很长时间与商业、军队、法律和医学等多个领域的领袖交谈,
  • in an effort to create a framework for understanding judgment.
  • 试图建立一个理解判断力的框架。
  • First he had to define the word.
  • 首先他必须给这个词下个定义。
  • He suggests that judgment is "the combination of personal qualities with relevant knowledge and experience to form opinions and take decisions".
  • 他认为,判断力是“个人素质与相关知识以及经验融合而成的观点和决策。”
  • And he argues that, thus defined, judgment involves a process—
  • 他认为这样下定义,判断力包含了一个过程——
  • taking in information, deciding whom and what to trust, summarising one's personal knowledge, checking any prior beliefs or feelings, summarising the available choices and then making the decision.
  • 获取信息,决定信任的人和物,总结个人知识,确定优先的信念或感受,总结可用的选择,然后做出决定。
  • At each stage, decisionmakers must ask themselves questions, such as whether they have the relevant experience and expertise to make their choice, and whether the option they favour is practical.
  • 在每一个阶段,决策者都必须扪心自问,比如自己是否具备做出选择所需的相关经验和专业知识,以及自己青睐的选择是否切实可行。
  • Expertise can be useful in making judgments.
  • 专业知识有助于做出判断。
  • But it is not the same thing.
  • 但这并不是一回事。
  • "Academics have expertise," Sir Andrew observes. "They don't necessarily have judgment."
  • 安德鲁爵士评论道,“学者们拥有专业知识,但不一定拥有判断力。”
  • People with judgment know when they are out of their depth in making a decision and typically then seek the advice of someone who has the right background and knowledge.
  • 有判断力的人知道自己在做决定时力不从心,然后通常会向有合适背景和知识的人征求建议。
  • It is, of course, possible to follow all these steps and still make the wrong choice.
  • 当然,即使你遵循了所有的步骤,仍然可能做出错误的选择。
  • But Sir Andrew argues that a sensible process improves the chance of getting it right.
  • 但安德鲁爵士认为,一个合理的步骤能够提高做出正确选择的概率。
  • The temptation is to look at people's track records when assessing when they have good judgment, but luck may have played a huge part.
  • 当评估人们是否有良好的判断力时,人们会倾向于看他们过往的表现,但运气可能也起了很大作用。
  • "While good judgment is important to success," Sir Andrew cautions, "success is not a signal that there has been good judgment."
  • 安德鲁爵士提醒到:“虽然良好的判断力对成功至关重要,但成功并不标志着那个人拥有良好的判断力”。
