Bridgewater Principles & Culture
桥水资本的原则与文化
Our unique success is the direct result of our unique way of being. We want an ideameritocracyin which meaningful work and meaningful relationships are pursued through radical truth and radical transparency. We require people to be extremely open, air disagreements, test each other’s logic, and view discovering mistakes and weaknesses as a good thing that leads to improvement and innovation. It is by continually striving together for the highest levels of truth and excellence that we create meaningful work and meaningful relationships.
我们的成功来源于我们独特的做事方式。我们想要一种想法精英学院，在其中有意义的工作和人际关系可以通过彻底的真相和通明来诉求得到。我们需要雇员们极度开放、公开表达自己的反对意见、检验彼此的逻辑、将发现错误和弱点看成一件能带来进步和革新的好事。只有通过持续不断地一起努力追求真相和卓越，才能够做出有意义的工作、发展出有意义的人际关系。
We are both idealistic and practical. We believe that creating excellent outcomes requires setting ambitious goals and applying our understanding of how the world works, as reflected in principles, to achieve them. Our Principles are ways of dealing with situations. They are theevolvingrecord of our understanding of what works well. They’re not just read and followed, but stress-tested on an individual and collective level as our shared approach to working together. As Bridgewater is an idea-meritocracy in which we value independent thinking, we urge you to read and assess them for yourself.
我们既有理想也能面对现实。我们认为要想获得卓越的成功，需要首先设定远大的目标，然后运用我们对这个世界的理解去追求这些目标，而我们关于世界的理解反映在我们的做事原则上。我们的原则是关于处理问题的方法，这些原则记录了我们对世界真相的理解，并且还在持续更新。他们不仅仅是被阅读过或者直接遵循就完了，而是要在个人层级与集体层级上来对其进行高强度的检验，以此作为我们一起工作的共同理论基础。桥水资本就是一个想法精英学院，在这里我们重视独立思考的价值，因此我们强烈要求你自己阅读并对他们做出属于你的评判。
