Hint: Dave
To do this he quickly acquired the report on what had been successfully accredited and what had failed. He was surprised to find that his school had only failed on one point, the acoustics of their main music hall. That meant that everything else was fine, that it was a success except for that one thing! At the meeting the next day with all parties involved, Dave presented the report and his plan for hew they could improve the acoustics of the hall and then activate a second round of accreditation meetings. Everyone was happy except for the partners. They had already viewed the school as a failed acquisition and that was hard for them to adjust their thinking. Dave was quick, however, and encouraged them that this was still a successful item in their accumulation of a diversified portfolio. They agreed and the school was licensed three months later.
為了做好這件事，他迅速獲得了一份報(bào)告，上面寫著哪些地方他成功地通過了鑒定，哪些地方是他的敗筆。他驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)整個(gè)學(xué)校只有一個(gè)方面沒有達(dá)標(biāo)——主音樂廳的音響效果。這意味著其他一切都好，除了一個(gè)方面之外他是成功的! 在第二天各方都參加的會(huì)議上，戴夫向大家遞交了這份報(bào)告以及他的如何改進(jìn)音樂廳音響效果，從而促成第二輪資格鑒定會(huì)召開的計(jì)劃。除了那些合伙人，其他人都很高興。那些合伙人已經(jīng)認(rèn)定收購這所學(xué)校是個(gè)失敗，因此很難調(diào)整他們的思維。然而戴夫反應(yīng)很快，他鼓勵(lì)他們說，在他們多樣化的投資組合積累中，這仍是一個(gè)成功的項(xiàng)目。合伙人同意了他的意見，三個(gè)月之后，學(xué)校拿到了辦學(xué)執(zhí)照。
