Seth Godin-层次
猫:本文翻得悬悬乎乎的。差不多就是个“行动为先,不断改进”的意思。不断有“更好的自己”覆盖“以前的自己”,仿佛形成了层次。(这句写得像恐怖片啊~~)

以前我们是这么干的:
创建->编辑->发布
现在的情形是这样:
创建->发布->编辑->发布->再来一次
有人问我,我的博客上的哪篇文章代表了本博的转捩点。那篇“具有突破性的”文章。事实上,我没有这种文章。我写了2500个文章,一篇接一篇,每篇都对博客的发展有所贡献(我在写每一篇文章时也都有收获)。
Wikipedia建立的基础是这个大胆的想法:发布几百篇普普通通的文章。挑战人们,让他们加上一些文章。然后一天天的,在现有的基础上改进每一篇文章,改进十万个文章,改进一百万个文章。一篇又一篇,一层又一层。
Squidoo有点不同。它让每个人都在自己的主页上建立层次,而不是让一群人。随着时间流逝,群体不断扩大,新来的用户会更得心应手(建立的主页也更好),因为他们看到了别人一层层改进的结果。
那些不断重复着以前的错误的公司(死板的公司,教条主义的公司,航空公司)很少建立起自己的层次。它们不成长,不改进,因为它们的组织本来就不具有这样的功能。
挑战就在这里。现在我们生活在一个逐层而上的世界里了。与不断发布和改进(的公司和人)相比,那些一直计划计划再计划然后终于发布(的公司和人)注定要失败的。

Here’s what we used to do:
Create —> Edit —> Launch
Here’s what happens now:
Create —> Launch —> Edit —> Launch —> repeat
Someone asked me which post on this blog represented the turning point of its growth. The ‘breakthrough’ post. It turns out that there wasn’t one. Instead, there were 2,500 posts, one after the other, each building (and I was learning from each) as we went.
Wikipedia is built on a bold idea: launch with a few hundred mediocre articles. Challenge people to add a few more. And then, day after day, layer on top of that, improving each one, improving a hundred thousand of them, improving a million of them. One after another, layer after layer.
Squidoo is a bit different. Let each person layer their own page, instead of a crowd. And then, as time goes by and the crowd gets bigger, the new folks are smarter (and building better pages) because they’ve watched the results that others have layered up.
Organizations that make the same mistakes every day (hidebound ones, rulebook based ones, airlines) rarely get to layer. They don’t grow and improve, because they’re not organized to do so.
And thus the challenge. We live in a layered world now. Those that plan and plan and then launch are always going to be at a disadvantage to the layerers.
