Cameron thought of himself as merely organized.He certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything ,he did just enough to get it right.Exactly right, of course as he was fond of telling his staff, “if it’s not exactly right, it’s wrong”.Occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which Cameron had patiently pointed out.And doing the corrections exactly right of course.
Strangely enough ,his department had the reputation for performing the highest quality work in the company ,and it was seen, and not only by those who worked in the department ,as a sort of elite(出类拔萃)unit.Those programs that had to work first time, straight out of the box, Cameron’s men got those.“It’s mission(任务)critical—give it to Cameron” was almost a catch—phrase with his team.
It helped that Cameron was not merely particular about things.He wanted things done just so ,not because of a personal taste ,but because he had discovered through patient experimentation that this was the best way for it to be done.
