   Hi, this is A.G. Lafley. And I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the Peter F. Drucker Academy in Hong Kong and Beijing for being chosen among the first Honoary Drucker Fellows. I am honored and I am humbled 1 to be among such distinguished 2 list of fellow honor ace 3.


  各位好,我是阿兰·乔治·雷夫利。在此十分感激香港和北京的彼得·德鲁克管理学院。我非常高兴能成为首批彼得·德鲁克管理学院的荣誉院士。能路身这么非凡的荣誉院士名单内,我感到很荣幸也很惭愧。
  Peter Drucker continues to be a great influence on me. I did not realize it at the time but I grow up with Peter. My father spent 25 years in management at GE and another decade in Chase Manhattan. He met Peter at GE’s Crotonvile management and training facility in the 1950s and always had Drucker’s books and he studied at home. Though I had no interest in business as a high school or undergraduate student I would read through Drucker classic such as The Effective Executive and The Practice of Management. Later, when I was in the United States navy I grew more interested in business, well running service and retail 4 operations at US air base in Japan. And I returned to Drucker.
  彼得·德鲁克先生一直对我有莫大的影响,当时我并没有意识到,但是我却是在彼得·德鲁克先生的影响下成长起来的。我的父亲在通用电气做了 25年的管理工作,又在美国大通曼哈顿公司工作了10年。他是在20世纪50年代在通用电气的克劳顿管理及培训资源中心认识彼得的。此后我父亲在家经常学习德鲁克先生的著作。尽管我在高中及大学时期对商业并不感兴趣,但我已经拜读过德鲁克先生的经典著作,如《卓有成效的管理 者》及《管理的实践》。之后当我在美国海军工作时开始对商业感兴趣了。因为我当时负责美国海军航空驻日基地的服务与零售营运。我重读了德鲁克的著作。
  I finally meet Peter in person at 1999. We talked for several hours for every question I posed Peter had one or two more things to think about. Persistently 5 he urged me to choose to focus on a few wide strategies and decisions that would make a great difference for P&G. He challenged me to understand the unique leadership challenges of managing and organization of knowledge workers in the 21st century.
  我最终在1999年有幸亲自拜会了德鲁克先生。我们交谈了数个小时,我所提出的每一个问题,德鲁克先生都有一个或更多的想法和思考。他不断地激励我选择关注一些宏观的策略和商业决定以使得宝洁(P&G )卓尔不凡。他也让我明白管理21世纪的知识工作者们是当今领袖所面对的独特挑战。

  背景资料
  阿兰·乔治·雷夫利,1969年毕业于汉密尔顿学院历史专业,随后开始在弗吉尼亚攻读文艺复兴历史方向的博士学位。不过,他只念了一个学期就退学了,1977年从哈佛商学院获得MBA学位。同年加入宝洁公司,从碗碟清洗剂的品牌助理做起,之后23年中不断升迁,先后负责宝洁公司香皂和洗涤分部、亚洲分部、北美分部的领导工作。2000年6月出任宝洁公司CEO,2002年成为宝洁集团董事长。经过这个以生产洗涤用品闻名的企业中23年的浸泡,他从一个品牌助理升到了常务副总裁。在提倡内部人提拔而绝少用“空降兵”的宝洁,他的升迁显得顺理成章。
  雷夫利在23岁时加入了海军,海军军需官的生涯教会了雷夫利一点,那就是再复杂的生意也有核心业务,核心业务就是那些能带来大部分现金、大部分利润的业务。秘诀就在于找到那些畅销商品,并把它们尽可能多地卖掉。这与他成为首席执行官以后执行的经营策略异曲同工。
