很多公司在面临重大调整时，都希望能从名牌企业挖到新的首席执行官。此人临危受命，不仅要担当起领导的职责，还要具备从天而降，扭转乾坤的能力。那么，什么样的经理人才是理想的白衣骑士呢？亟待拯救的公司应该锁定以下特质： Jack-of-all-trades 跨行业的万事通 Clearly, a new hire's track record is important, Useem says, but a singular success within one industry might not be good enough. Consistent performance across industries is a good marker for a white knight, he adds, because it means that an individual is capable of leading in general, not just managing specific industry challenges. 乌西姆表示，经理人的资历固然很重要，但仅在某一个行业内的一次成功可能还不够。他认为，在多个行业内都有稳定的表现是白衣骑士的一个重要特征，这意味着此人具有普遍的领导力，而不只是长于应对某一特定行业的挑战。 Take Laurence Golborne, Chile's minister of mining who facilitated the rescue of 33 trapped Chilean miners earlier this year. He had a retail background and was a relatively unknown politician until the rescue, Useem says. "The main point is, he took a look, decided on the underlying ways to solve a problem, and used his management skill set." 劳伦斯•戈尔本就是一个例子，这位智利矿业部长今年早些时候推动了33被困矿工的救援行动。乌西姆称，戈尔本具有零售业从业背景，但在此次救援行动前只是一位相对不知名的官员。“关键在于他勘查了现场，确定了解决问题的基本方法，并运用了自己的管理技巧。” |
