在推崇数据和理性分析的商业世界里，“事实胜于雄辩”似乎是一个颠扑不破的真理。但你是否遇到过类似的职场修罗场：为什么你拿着无懈可击的数据报表，却在提案会上输给了拿着几张PPT侃侃而谈的同事？其中隐藏着一个略显反常识甚至残酷的职场真相—— 很多情况下，事实不仅胜不了雄辩，反而会被“雄辩”降维打击。 究竟是什么让“雄辩”拥有了重塑结果的神奇魔力？作为职场人，我们又该如何正确驾驭这种能力，为职业生涯注入核心竞争力？中欧国际工商学院金融与会计系教授苏锡嘉，剖析了“事实胜不了雄辩”背后的原因，并带我们重新审视职场表达力的重要性和必要性。 在加拿大读书时，我曾被叫去改会计执业资格考试的考卷。参加评卷的都是高校的老师，地点设在一家酒店，租了几个客房，搬走室内的床和其他家具，再放上简单的桌椅，就权当临时办公场地了。 一个房间里男男女女七八个人，坐得满满当当。其中一个爱开玩笑的教授告诉我，有次被问起是否认识某女教授，而那位女教授恰和他一起改过考卷，于是他就说：“当然认识，她和我在一个酒店房间了共同度过了好几天！”(She and I shared a hotel room for quite a few days.) 你不能不说这是事实，但听起来暧昧得让人想入非非。试想一下，如果他告诉别人：“认识，我们俩在一起改过考卷”，听起来就平淡无比，大概没人会记得住。 一个事实，两种表述，结果大不相同。 五感认知的事实可信吗？ 我们通常爱说“事实胜于雄辩”，意思是，在铁的事实面前雄辩滔滔只能是徒劳的挣扎。然而，但凡有点职场经验的人都知道，事实未必那么清晰可见。 只要事实有可辩之处，雄辩大概率会胜于事实。 雄辩之所以会胜于事实， 首先是因为“何为事实”并不那么显而易见。 但凡事实显得模棱两可，强有力的说辞很可能就决定了众人对事实的认定。 人依靠感觉器官来认知世界，来体认事实。我们的感觉无非就是 视、听、嗅、触 和 尝 ，其中，视觉和听觉是远程感官（distal senses），不需要通过身体的接触来感知；因此，你感知的同时别人也可以感知，从而使验证成为可能。而味觉、嗅觉和触觉是近距离感官（proximal senses），差不多天生就是独享的，很难被他人验证；即便验证，每个人的结论可能都不同，典型的例子就是“盲人摸象”：每个人都认为自己是基于实际触觉而得出了正确的结论，而每个人又毫无例外地偏离了完...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Meta Platforms ( META ) is granting stock options to its top executives for the first time since its 2012 IPO, aiming to retain and reward leadership as it continues heavy spending to stay competitive in the intensifying AI race. The new options, outlined in company filings on Tuesday, will be released if Meta hits ambitious stock-price milestones over the coming years. CFO Susan Li, CTO Andrew Bosworth, Chief product officer Chris Cox, COO Javier Olivan, president Dina Powell McCormick, and chief legal officer Curtis Mahoney are eligible for the stock options, regulatory filings showed. CEO Mark Zuckerberg , with a net worth of over $200 billion, is not part of the plan. All executives except McCormick and Mahoney, who joined Meta ( META ) in January, will also receive an increase in restricted stock awards, worth a total of $170 million at last close, which vest quarterly. Chief Accounting Officer Aaron Anderson will only receive restricted stock. For the first tranche of options to be paid out, Meta’s stock has to hit $1,116.08, an 88% increase from Tuesday’s closing price and equal to a market cap of about $2.82 trillion, based on current shares outstanding. The next tranche requires a stock price of $1,393.87. The price goes up significantly for each additional tranche, with the highest being $3,727.12, which would make the company worth over $9 trillion. The most valuable company in the world today is Nvidia ( NVDA ). The Facebook parent's stock price is down about 4% in the past year, trailing all of its megacap tech peers apart from Microsoft ( MSFT ) , which has dropped 5%. Alphabet ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), meanwhile, has jumped 73%, boosted by the success of its Gemini AI portfolio. The company has also offered huge pay packages, some worth hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, to court top AI researchers to a new superintelligence team.

Investors seeking to buy or sell Asian stocks following any spike in oil prices should aim to execute orders in the first few minutes of the trading day and then steer clear, according to UBS AG. That’s the finding of a study into how six regional equity markets performed in the first week of March as the outbreak of the Iran war reverberated across financial assets. Turnover was concentrated at the start of trading, after which execution quality deteriorated, based on the analysis by the bank’s electronic trading desk. “Volatility was overwhelmingly front‑loaded at the market open, and intraday volume curves reverted toward historical averages after the open in general,” the note said. “No market exhibited sustained intraday volume expansion beyond the open.” The study gives an insight into how equity trading in Asia has been transformed since the start of the Middle-East conflict on Feb. 28. Not only is market direction increasingly dependent on headlines, but moves are becoming outsized, and the direction of stocks has seen an increasing number of intraday reversals. UBS found the most pronounced case of front-loaded trading in South Korea, where the Kospi 200 Index saw trading volumes at the open jump to as much as 2.2 times the six-month average. Trading then dropped off significantly, though there was some intermittent volatility around lunchtime. “The Kospi shows an extremely concentrated response,” the note said. “Almost all meaningful trading related to the Brent shock occurs at the very start.” Investors should try to restrict their trading to the first five minutes, and avoid any re-entry or midday positioning, according to the note. Similarly, investors should seek to trade stocks in Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Average during the first 10 to 15 minutes of the session, and Australia’s benchmark in the first 15 to 25 minutes. For Chinese equities, there is a key window around the open from 9:25 a.m. to 9:40 a.m., the note said. Read more: ‘Stopped Out’: Asia ...
