組織智囊團

Forming a Mastermind Alliance

讓我們先來看一下“火車列車員”的智囊團模式：列車長之所以能夠使火車開往目的地的惟一原因，就是其他列車 員認同并且尊重列車長的職權。如果，列車長未能適時地告訴司機火車出發的時間，乘客們會下車尋求其他可到目的的 方法，如果司機不遵守交通規則，很可能會發生致命的車禍……

For a model of mastermind alliance at work,consider a train crew.The conductor(you) can take the train to its destination only because all the other members of the train crew recognize and respect his(your) authority.What would happen if the conductor failed to signal the engineer that it was time to start? Passengers would abandon the train and find some other way to get where they wanted to go.If the engineer didn't bother to heed the signals along the track,the resulting crash could cost lives.

為了使你的智囊團發揮正常功能，你必須給團員清晰而且正確的指示，而團員也必須愿意充分與你合作，以下四個簡單的步驟，可確保智囊團的正常運作。
