Three-legged race Will the progressive candidates set aside their egos to team up?
Last week, I found myself sitting next to a woman at dinner who chairs companies. We were talking about boardroom diversity, and she suddenly declared: “I always make sure that there is one shit on each of my boards.”
上週，我在飯局上發現，坐在我旁邊的姐們儿在幾家公司擔任董事長。我們聊到董事會的多樣性，這時她冷不丁地說道：“我一直設法確保我每家公司的董事會裡有一個像坨屎一樣的爛人。”I wanted to kiss her. It was not just the word, so sharp in contrast to the soft drivel that nearly everyone lets rip whenever they discuss diversity. It was also the bracing sentiment that delighted me, even if I had a nagging doubt that she might be wrong. Surely, I protested, the ideal number of egos on a board was zero?
我簡直都想吻她一下了。不光是因為她敢用這麼直白的字眼兒（這種字眼兒與甭管誰說到董事會多樣性時都會扯上兩句的那種空話形成鮮明對比），更是因為她這種觀點令我耳目一新、如沐春風，儘管我還是隱隱感覺她說的可能不完全對。我反駁道，董事會裡自大狂的理想人數顯然是“零”吧？
