論領導- On Leadership

        On Leadership     What is leadership?Its qualities are difficult to define. But they are not so difficult to identify.      Leaders don ＇ t force other people to go along with them. They bring them along. Leaders get commitment from others by giving it themselves, by building an environment that encourages creativity, and by operating with honesty and fairness.     Good leaders aren＇ t"lone rangers. "They recognize that an organization＇ s strategies for success require the combined talents and efforts of many people. Leadership is the catalyst for transforming those talents into results.     Successful leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future--not wedded to the past. They have a hunger to take responsibility, to innovate, andto initiate. They are not content with merely taking care of what＇ s already there. They want to move forward to create something new.     Leaders provide answers as well as direction, offer strength as well as dedication, and speak from experience as well as understanding of the problems they face and the peopie they work with.     Leaders are flexible rather than dogmatic. They believe in unity rather than yielding. And they strive to achieve agreements out of conflict.     Leadership is all about getting people consistently to give their best, helping them to grow to their fullest potential, and motivating them to work toward a common good. Leaders make the right things happen when they＇re supposed to.     A good leader, an effective leader, is one who has respect. Respect is something you have to have in order to get.A leader who has respect for other people at all levels of an organization, for the work they do, and for their abilities, desires and needs, will find that respect is returned. And all concerned will be motivated to work together.  論領導    什么是領導?領導應具備什么品質(zhì)很難下定義，但這些品質(zhì)卻不難辨認。    領導不強迫他人追隨自己，而是帶領他們前進。領導通過自己承擔義務從而要求他人承擔義務。此外，他還營造一個鼓勵創(chuàng)新的環(huán)境，并誠實公正地對待他人。    好的領導不是“孤膽騎警”。他們認識到一個組織的策略的成功是許多人的智慧和努力的結(jié)晶。領導才能是把智慧轉(zhuǎn)化成成果的催化劑。    成功的領導者，從情感和理智上都著眼于未來而不是過去。他們渴望承擔責任、創(chuàng)新和開拓，他們不滿足于僅僅保持現(xiàn)狀，他們要前進，要創(chuàng)新。    領導人給予指導和解答，擁有力量和獻身精神，他們從經(jīng)驗及對所面對的問題的理解和對合作者的了解來說話。    領導處事靈活，不因循守舊。他們相信統(tǒng)一而不是順從。他們力圖在沖突中達成共識。    領導藝術是推動人們盡顯其能，幫助他們充分發(fā)揮他們的潛能，使他們朝著一個共同的目標而奮斗。領導者在需要的時候能做出正確的決斷。    一個好領導，一個奉有成效的領導是尊重他人的人。要得到他人的尊重必須先尊重他人。一個尊重各級員工，尊重他們的工作、能力、愿望與需要的領導會得到他人的尊重。所有這些都會激勵大家共同努力。
