5. The Art of Leadership
5. 領導的藝術
I've been asked a lot since if there are any lessons I've learned about character and leadership. There are three lessons, I think that I have learned, that continue to instruct me to this day, that continue to guide me in both business and in life.
很多人問我，在性格和領導力方面我有哪些經驗教訓。我覺得我有三個經驗，它們一直在商界和生活中指引著我。
The first lesson is that values matter and character counts, and that no matter how much things change, fundamental values shouldn't. For those of you who are just starting out your career, you will find that in leadership-as perhaps in life-the most important decisions you make, and the toughest decisions you make are often the decisions you make alone.
第一個經驗就是價值觀很重要、性格很重要，不管發生什么變化，基本的價值觀不能變。如果你才剛剛開始職業生涯，那么你將發現不管是在領導工作中還是在生活中，那些最重要的決定、最艱難的決定，往往是自己一個人做出的。
The second lesson I've learned about character and leadership is that leadership, just like success, is not a journey, it is a destination. It is perhaps a cliche to say that leadership is a journey not a destination but it is a cliche because it is true, leadership is journey. The only constant in any of our lives, whether you're running a company or running a family, or perhaps running a country is change.
第二個經驗就是領導力和成功一樣，它不是一個歷程而是一個目的地。也許這句話說得太陳詞濫調，但它是正確的。我們不管是辦公司還是經營家庭或者是經營一個國家，都是不斷變化的。
And the third lesson I've learned about leadership and success is that real power comes in the connections between all kinds of things, but most importantly real power comes from the connections between people. Power comes not from those who stand alone, but from those who can work best with others, and reach out to others to achieve a desired outcome. And finding those connections and recognizing those connections is part of what leadership is all about.
第三個經驗是真正的力量來自于所有事物的聯系，最重要的人與人之間的聯系。力量不是來自于孤立的個人，而是來自能夠同別人合作現理想結果的人。找到這些聯系，認識這些聯系，是領導力的真實體現。
As leaders, you can never forget that people want to do a good job. They want to be treated with consideration and respect. They want to feel a real sense of accomplishment in . their work, to have their ideas considered, and their achievements recognized. People want to feel like they're part of something larger than themselves---to be a party of the larger vision, direction, to be part of worthy goals.
作為領導者，你要知道員工們都想把工作做好，都想得到關心和尊重。他們希望在工作中獲得成就感，希望自己的意見被采納，成果被表彰。他們是希望處于一個更大的環境來支撐實現自己更大的目標。
