利用團(tuán)隊(duì)內(nèi)部的競爭來鼓舞士氣，提高成效。

It worked for Eddie Rickenbacker, commander of the 94th Aero Squadron in France, during World War I.

Known as the “ace of aces” for shooting down dozens of German enemy planes, Rickenbacker took command of the squadron soon after morale hit its lowest ebb.

第一次世界大戰(zhàn)時(shí)，美軍駐扎在法國的第94飛行中隊(duì)隊(duì)長艾迪·瑞肯波克Eddie Rickenbacke用此技巧，收到了良好的效果。

瑞肯波克在戰(zhàn)斗中擊落了許多的德軍飛機(jī)，被認(rèn)為是“王牌飛行員中的王牌”，他在飛行中隊(duì)士氣最低落的時(shí)候出任隊(duì)長。

The squadron's former commander had been killed in action. Combat losses were mounting and pilots were being killed in noncombat crashes due to poor maintenance of planes.

此時(shí)，中隊(duì)的前任隊(duì)長在執(zhí)行任務(wù)中犧牲。戰(zhàn)斗造成的損失在不斷攀升，而且由于糟糕的飛機(jī)維護(hù)情況，在非戰(zhàn)斗狀態(tài)中，還有飛行員墜機(jī)身亡。

“The squadron was dependent on equipment provided by the French, as American airplanes weren't available,” then Major General William Cohen recalls. “ Pilots felt they weren't getting the best equipment.”

“當(dāng)時(shí)我們沒有美國飛機(jī)，飛行中隊(duì)用的是法國人提供的飛機(jī)，”，少將威廉·科恩后來回憶道?！帮w行員們認(rèn)為他們沒有得到最好的裝備?！?/P>

Upon taking command, Rickenbacker threw down a challenge.“First I called the pilots together. I pointed out that our airplanes were the same as other squadrons at the front, including the French,”

剛一就任，瑞肯波克就使用了激將法?！笆紫?，我召集所有的飛行員，并指出我們用的飛機(jī)與前線其它飛行中隊(duì)的飛機(jī)是一樣，包括法國人自己的中隊(duì)?！?/P>

Rickenbacker said later. “ I asked them whether they felt that the French were pilots. When they indicated they felt the 94th Aero Squadron had the best pilots at the front, I challenged them to prove it through competition with the other squadrons. It was simple to keep score. Whichever squadron shot the most planes down was the winner.”

瑞肯波克后來說?！拔覇査麄兪欠裼X得只有法國人才是飛行員。當(dāng)他們表示，他們認(rèn)為第94中隊(duì)擁有前線最好的飛行員時(shí)，我用激將法，讓他們和其它中隊(duì)的飛行員比賽來證明這一點(diǎn)。記分方法非常簡單：不論哪個中隊(duì)，擊落最多敵軍飛機(jī)的最算贏?！?/P>

He then met with his ground crew and emphasized their importance in battle.　“I said that without them, the pilots might as well stay on the ground,” Richenbacker recalled. He explained that his pilots were competing with Allied squadrons, and challenged his men on the ground to face off against Allied maintenance crews.

隨后，他與地面后勤人員見面，強(qiáng)調(diào)他們在戰(zhàn)斗中的最要性。 “我說，沒有他們，飛行員就只能待在地面，” 瑞肯波克回憶道。他解釋說飛行員們正在與盟軍的其它飛行中隊(duì)比賽，并讓地面支持人員也同盟軍的地面維護(hù)隊(duì)員進(jìn)行比賽，看誰的維護(hù)工作做得更好。

The outcome hinged on the “number of aircraft fit for flight and the number of accidents due to maintenance. I knew from my racing days that competition works,” Rickenbacker said.

The 94th squadron became an airborne juggernaut, one of the most successful fighting units in history.

比賽結(jié)果以“適于作戰(zhàn)的飛機(jī)數(shù)量和由于維修不利造成事故的飛機(jī)的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)量來評判?！拔覐奈易约涸瓉韰⒓颖荣惖慕?jīng)驗(yàn)中知道，這種競爭方法很有效。” 瑞肯波克說。

后來第94飛行中隊(duì)成為了當(dāng)時(shí)讓人傳頌的“空戰(zhàn)精英”,，這是歷史上最成功的戰(zhàn)斗部隊(duì)之一。
