Alfresco掌门人：努力成就人生

    《财富》杂志举办的科技头脑风暴大会（7月22日至24日在美国科罗拉多州阿斯彭召开）定期召集科技创新领域最优秀和最聪明的思想家相聚一堂。每周，《财富》杂志都会重点推介一位大会嘉宾，分享他/她对于商业、科技和创业的真知灼见。本周，我们代表年轻企业家向Alfresco公司CEO道格•邓纳莱恩就工作之余的生活、获得过的最好建议以及行业观点提出了10个问题。他的回答如下。

你获得过的最好建议是什么？

    要比别人工作更努力，像老板一样地思考和行事。

当前就业市场非常严峻，对于即将进入职场的年轻人，你想说些什么？

    要坚持不懈,主动要求引荐。挖掘人脉资源，找到目标公司的员工，请求引荐给管理层。

如果你没有从事现在的工作，会做什么？

    与我长大成人的女儿们开一家高档三明治餐厅。我做厨师，她们来经营。

您怎么获取新闻和信息？

    完全通过网络，《财富》杂志App应用、AllThingsD、Tech Crunch、《纽约时报》（NYT）、《今日美国》（USA Today）。

如果你可以立即去世界上任何地方，你希望去哪里？

    家。我成年后60%的时间都花在路上了。我珍惜在家的每时每刻。

你最大的成就是什么？

    在思科（Cisco）管理美国企业销售的两年半里，我们经历了思科从1998年的1.4万名员工扩张至4.8万名员工的历程。那时，每90天就新招5,000名员工，但我们仍然保持了思科文化的生命力。

什么技术领域最让你兴奋？

    当然是软件即时服务（SaaS）。目前企业软件网络版的开发速度是每年发布4-5次，远快于本地部署软件（on-premise）每几年一次的速度。单单本地部署软件根本没有竞争力。

你如何维持生活的平衡？

    不是平衡，而是工作与生活的融合。平衡是个老说法。科技让我们能随时随地继续工作，也能随时随地陪伴在家人身边。

每位领导人都应具备的一项品质是什么？

    激情。

企业家必须要上商学院吗？

    很多成功人士从来没有上过商学院，包括我本人在内。但如果重头再来，必须要上MBA，我会在本科毕业后不久就去。（财富中文网）

    Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference (July 22-24 in Aspen, Colo.) regularly brings together the best and brightest minds in tech innovation. Each week, Fortune turns the spotlight on a different conference attendee to offer his or her own personal insight into business, tech, and entrepreneurship. This week, we asked Alfresco CEO Doug Dennerline to answer 10 questions about life outside of work, the best advice he ever received, and industry tips for young entrepreneurs. His responses follow.

 What is the best advice you ever received?

    Work harder than the next guy and think and behave as an owner of the company you work for.

What would you say to a group of young people looking to enter the tough job market?

    Be persistent and don't be afraid to ask to be introduced to people. Work your network, find people at the companies you want to work at and ask for introductions to leadership.

What would you do if you weren't working at your current job?

    Open a restaurant with my grown daughters that served high-end sandwiches. I'll cook and they can run the business.

 How do you get your news?

    Entirely the web, Fortune App, AllThingsD, Tech Crunch, NYT, USA Today.

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?

    Home, I have spent 60% of my adult life on the road. I cherish the moments at home.

What is your greatest achievement?

    Being at Cisco running U.S. Enterprise Sales when the company went from 14,000 employees in 1998 to 48,000 employees in 2 ½ years and keeping the Cisco culture alive as we brought in 5000 new employees every 90 days.

What technology sector excites you most?

    SaaS, of course! Enterprise software is being developed at the pace of the web with 4 to 5 releases a year compared to 1 every few years for on-prem. On-prem alone just can't compete.

What do you do to live a balanced life?

    It's not balance, it's work life integration. Balance is old school. Technology allows you to work wherever and whenever you need to and to be with the family whenever you need to.

What is one characteristic that every leader should possess?

    Passion.

Is business school necessary for entrepreneurs?

    Many successful people never went to business school including me. If I had to do it all over again I would have gone shortly after undergrad school.
