????一年一度的《財(cái)富》雜志頭腦風(fēng)暴技術(shù)大會(huì)(Brainstorm Tech conference)云集了技術(shù)創(chuàng)新行業(yè)最優(yōu)秀、最出色的人才?!敦?cái)富》雜志會(huì)定期地采訪不同的參會(huì)嘉賓,分享他們?cè)跇I(yè)務(wù)、技術(shù)和創(chuàng)業(yè)方面的真知灼見(jiàn)。我們?cè)儐?wèn)了Fanhattan首席執(zhí)行官吉利斯?拜恩羅薩10個(gè)問(wèn)題,內(nèi)容涉及其業(yè)余生活、他所獲得過(guò)的最佳建議和適用于青年創(chuàng)業(yè)家的行業(yè)秘訣。以下是他的回答:
1. 你獲得過(guò)的最佳建議是什么? ????“即使遇到再大的困難,也不要止步不前?!逼鋵?shí)這并不算是我所獲得的建議(溫斯頓?丘吉爾的名言),但他說(shuō)的一點(diǎn)都沒(méi)錯(cuò)。 2. 你最近讀的書叫什么名字? ????布雷克?斯耐德寫的《拯救貓咪》(Save the Cat)講的是好萊塢的劇本創(chuàng)作。可能聽(tīng)起來(lái)有點(diǎn)奇怪,但是我想了解好萊塢的精英們編故事的奧秘。無(wú)論是組建團(tuán)隊(duì)還是打造合作關(guān)系或是籠絡(luò)投資商,身為企業(yè)家,我的很大一部分工作都要求我擁有高超的講故事技巧。 3. 對(duì)于即將進(jìn)入殘酷的就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的年輕人,你有什么忠告? ????即便就業(yè)市場(chǎng)讓你感到不知所措,也應(yīng)該追求自己所熱愛(ài)的工作。即便你目前的工作得不到別人認(rèn)可,也要放手去做。遲早是會(huì)得到認(rèn)可的。 4. 你錯(cuò)過(guò)的最大的機(jī)遇是什么? ????我在職業(yè)生涯的早期,曾經(jīng)因?yàn)槔щy就停止了繼續(xù)前行。因?yàn)楦患腋蟮墓敬蚬偎荆谊P(guān)閉了我的第一家公司。我太早就放棄了。法國(guó)人用另一種眼光看待打官司這件事情……怎么說(shuō)好呢,它更多地被當(dāng)作是人身攻擊。如今,我才知道這實(shí)際上是我步入正軌的信號(hào),而且我本應(yīng)繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持下去的。 5. 你的消遣活動(dòng)有哪些? ????風(fēng)箏沖浪。一到水上,我便會(huì)全身心地投入。這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)讓人沒(méi)有閑暇的精力去想工作上的事情。能做到這一點(diǎn)的運(yùn)動(dòng)不多。這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)非常激烈。 6. 你最欽佩哪位商業(yè)人士或技術(shù)專家?為什么? ????1984年,也就是遠(yuǎn)在Mac電腦流行之前,我購(gòu)買了蘋果的Apple II個(gè)人電腦。從那時(shí)開始,我便迷上了喬布斯。最近,我將杰夫?貝佐斯視為創(chuàng)始人的楷模,因?yàn)樗恢苯y(tǒng)領(lǐng)著公司。創(chuàng)始人會(huì)讓公司不斷地標(biāo)新立異,進(jìn)行大膽地嘗試,而不是僅僅守著自己的專長(zhǎng)一成不變。 7. 哪些企業(yè)是你崇拜的對(duì)象?為什么? ????Sonos是我的崇拜對(duì)象。當(dāng)初 ,這家公司進(jìn)入滿是蘋果iPod和Bose音箱的市場(chǎng)時(shí),人們都說(shuō)它瘋了。要擠進(jìn)這個(gè)市場(chǎng)并獲得成功看起來(lái)似乎是不可能的事,但他們做到了。我十分欽佩它的執(zhí)行策略。 |
????Fortune's annual Brainstorm Tech conference brings together the best and brightest minds in tech innovation. Fortune periodically turns the spotlight on a different conference attendee to offer his or her own personal insight into business, tech, and entrepreneurship. We asked Fanhattan CEO Gilles BianRosa to answer 10 questions about life outside of work, the best advice he ever received, and industry tips for young entrepreneurs. His responses follow. 1. What is the best advice you ever received? ????"When you're going through hell, keep going." Not exactly advice I received (coming from Winston Churchill), but totally true. 2. What was the last book you read? ????Save the Cat by Blake Snyder -- a book about screenwriting in Hollywood. Might seem like an odd choice, but I was trying to figure out how the best minds in Hollywood craft stories. So much of what I do as an entrepreneur requires great storytelling -- from rallying a team to building partnerships to securing investors. 3. What would you say to a group of young people looking to enter the tough job market? ????Follow your passion even if it looks like you're all over the place. Go for it even if it doesn't make sense now. It will later. 4. What was your biggest missed opportunity? ????Earlier in my career, I didn't keep going when I entered a patch of hell. I gave up too early and folded my first company over a lawsuit by a much larger company. In France a lawsuit is perceived in a different way ... not sure how to explain it, but it's seen more as a personal attack. Today I know it was actually a sign that I was on the right track and I should have kept going. 5. What do you do for fun? ????Kite surfing. I get totally absorbed when I'm on the water. It requires so much attention that you can't think about work. It's one of the few sports that does that. It's intense. 6. What business or technology person do you admire most? Why? ????I admired Steve Jobs since 1984 when I bought an Apple II, long before a Mac was cool. More recently, I've looked up to Jeff Bezos as an example of a founder who stayed at the helm of his company. Founders keep the business doing crazy things and making bold pivots rather than just dialing up what they already do well. 7. What other companies do you admire? Why? ????Sonos stands out for me. Here's a company that was told they were crazy to enter a world saturated with Apple iPods (AAPL) and Bose speakers. It seemed impossible to crack into that business and succeed -- yet they did. I'm in admiration of the execution. |
