And we all meet for three hours once a week and we talk about everything we're doing, the whole business.

我們每週都要開三個小時的會，討論我們正在做的所有事情。

And there is tremendous teamwork at the top of the company which filters down to tremendous teamwork throughout the company.

公司高層存在著巨大的團隊合作精神，而這種合作精神又會滲透到整個公司的巨大團隊合作精神。

And teamwork is dependent on trusting the other folks to come through with their part without watching them all the time, but trusting that they're going to come through with their parts.

團隊合作取決於相信其他​​人能夠完成他們的任務，而不需要一直監視他們，而是相信他們會完成他們的任務。

And are people willing to tell you you're wrong?

Yeah.

是啊。

I mean, other than snarky journalists, I mean, people who work.

我是說，除了尖酸刻薄的記者，我是說，員工。

No, we have wonderful arguments.

不，我們有精彩的辯論。

And do you win them all or?

你能贏下所有辯論嗎？

Oh, no, I wish I did.

哦，不，我倒希望是這樣。

See, you can't. If you want to hire great people and have them stay working for you, you have to let them make a lot of decisions and you have to, you have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy.

你看，如果你想僱用優秀的員工並讓他們繼續為你工作，你就必須讓他們做出很多決定，你必須用想法而不是等級制度來管理。

The best ideas have to win.

最好的創意必須勝出。

Otherwise good people don't stay.

否則優秀的人不會留下來。

But you must be more than a facilitator who runs meetings.

但你必須不僅僅是一個主持會議的主持人。

You obviously contribute your own ideas.

顯然會貢獻自己的想法。

I contribute ideas. Sure.

我獻計獻策。當然。

Why would I be there if I didn't?

如果不是這樣，我為什麼會在那裡？
