机器视角

Think of yourself as a machine operating within a machine and know that you have the ability to alter your machines to produce better outcomes.

You have your goals. I call the way you will operate to achieve your goals your machine. It consists of a design(the things that have to get done). Those people include you and those who help you. For example, imagine that your goal is a military one: to take a hill from an enemy. Your design for your “machine” might include two scouts, two snipers, four infantrymen, and so on. While the right design is essential, it is only half the battle. It is equally important to put the right people in each of those positions. They need different qualities to do their job well -- the scouts must be fast runners, the snipers must be good marksmen -- so that the machine will produce the outcomes you seek.

这段话的意思是说，实现一个目标的时候可以跳出自己，把自己看成一台实现目标的机器，你可以设计并不断调整这台机器来生产出你想要的结果。

这台机器包括两部分，一部分是实现一个目标需要完成的事情，另一部分是完成事情所需的人力（包括你自己），第一部分有点像逻辑推演和任务分解，第二部分是给合适的任务分配合适的人，确保每一个任务按时按质量完成，只有合适的人去做合适的事，这台机器才能正常运转，最终实现你的目标。

在目标达成之前，你可以根据这台机器产出的结果调整设计和人员，确保机器向着正确的方向运转。

机器视角

可以把我们的开发团队想成一台机器，我们的目标是开发出市场上最好的产品，BA、DEV、QA和PM互相协作，我们要经常观察这台机器的产出，持续调整这台机器的设计，让合适的人做合适的事。在机器视角上，我们能够更客观地看待每个人，包括自己，更能发现自己适合做什么事情，从而为机器的良好运转发挥更大的价值。
