读某杂志,知林肯用人有“三不”。一是不计个人恩怨,他想提拔一位一直反对自己的大律师担任首席法官,有人提醒说:“他经常在背后说您的坏话。”林肯听后却幽默地说:“他经常说我的坏话,我也经常说他的坏话,这不收支相抵了吗?”二是不为谣言所惑,南北战争期间,由于格兰特年轻气盛,得罪了许多军官,林肯要提拔他为陆军司令,因此说格兰特坏话的不少,林肯说:“我宁可要位不拘小节的‘常胜将军’,也不要一名循规蹈矩的败将。”于是,毫不迟疑地宣布了任命。三是不袒护亲朋至友。陆军部长斯坦顿上任不久,就下令逮捕了不负贵任打了败仗的斯迪将军。斯迪是林肯的至交,斯坦顿为此而心中不安。当他硬着头皮把这消息告诉林肯时,林肯回答:“我想你有充分的理由才会这样做。” Read a magazine, know Lincoln employers “three no ”. First, regardless of personal grudges, he wanted to promote a barrister who had been opposed to himself as Chief Justice. Someone cautioned: “He often says bad things about you behind him.” “Lincoln actually said humorously:” He often My bad words, I often say his ill-fated, does this not match? “Second, not for the rumors of confusion, during the Civil War, because Grant was young and fit, offended many officers, Lincoln to promote him For Commander-in-Chief, so to speak Grant a lot of bad things, Lincoln said: ”I would rather hold an informal Reggae generals, nor a belligerent defeat. “ So he did not hesitate to announce the appointment. Third, do not protect friends and relatives. Shortly after taking office, Army Secretary Stanton ordered the arrest of General Sidi, who had fought valiantly for the defeat. Sidi was Lincoln’s best friend, and Stanton felt uneasy about it. When he barked at Lincoln with the news, Lincoln replied: ”I think you have a good reason to do that.“ ”
