And yet when people got into the role play I watch how quickly people dissolved into win-lose with obvious consequences. People are people wherever you find them and the number of advance degrees someone has... has nothing to do with whether or not they have judgment or maturity or perspective or ethics, which brings me perhaps to the most impactful course I took when I was here. And I talked a lot about this in the book which is called readings in power and responsibility. It was literature. From throughout the ages but it was also a set of compelling stories about who people are and how they behave and that made a big impact on me. One of the most cogent pieces of career advises I ever gave was something I gave to one of my very first subordinates. And she was a young woman wrestling with a set of personal choices. She was an engineer, it was in 80s. She was trying to decide about the age-old work-life balance question and I said to her, "Never sell you soul, because if you do, no one will pay you back". Now that may seem like very touchy-feely advice for a bunch of hardcore scientist engineers.

但是人们一旦进入角色,我发现局面很快变得你死我活,后果不言而喻。 无论在哪里,人就是人。人们是否有判断能力,是否成熟,是否有想法,是否有道德与其拥有多少个高等学位无关,这是我在这里学到的对我的影响最大的课程,我也在书中多次提到这门“权力和责任读本” 课程。这是各个时代的文献,集合了很多扣人心弦的故事,是关于人物及其所作所为的,这对我的影响很大。我对我第一个下属提出过最切合实际的职场忠告。她是一位年轻的工程师,犹疑着个人选择。那是上个世纪80年代,她一直试图决定工作和生活平衡的老问题。我告诉她:“永远不要出卖你的灵魂。灵魂出卖了,没人会付给你钱的。”对一帮精英科学家工程师来说,这可能是过于情感化的忠告。
