論領導

What is leadership?

什么是領導？

Its qualities are difficult to define. But they are not so difficult to identity.

領導應具備什么樣的素質，這很難精確的解說，但辨認直陳卻也不難。

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.

領導者不強制別人與自己協調一致，而是幫助他們跟上。領導者讓別人承擔義務，首先自己承擔義務，造成一種能鼓勵創造的環境，待人誠懇，處事公正。

Leaders demand much of others, but also much of themselves. They are ambitions- not only for themselves, but also for those who work with them. They seek to attract, retain and develop other people to their full abilities.

領導者對人要求很多，同時也給人很多。他們有雄心壯志，不僅為自己，也為和他們一道工作的人。他們設法吸引人才，留住他們，使他們充分發揮才能。

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 result.

好的領導者不是獨行俠。 他們認識到一個組織要獲得成功，其方針在于吧許多人的才能和力量集中起來。領導藝術是一種催化劑， 把眾人的才智轉化成業績。

Leaders know that when there are two opinions on an issue, one is not bound to be wrong. They recognize that hustle and rush are the allies of superficiality. They are open to new ideas, but they explore their ramifications thoroughly.

領導者明白，這爭論的問題上出現兩種意見時，并非必然有一種是錯的。他們認識到匆忙草率就會促成膚淺片面。他們愿意接受新的設想或建議，但對他們的細節和后果要做認真的探討。

Successful leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future-not wedded to the past. They have a hunger to take responsibility, to innovate, and to initiate. They are not content with merely taking care of what’s already there. They want to move forward to create something new.

成功的領導者無論是在感情上還是在理智上都著眼于未來而不是眷戀過去。他們渴望負責改革，開拓。他們不滿足于僅僅守成，他們要前進要創新。

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 people they work with.

領導者不驚給予方向性的指導，也對問題和要求給予具體的解答，不僅示以現身精神而且給予力量。他們說話既根據經驗，也根據問題認識和對同事的了解

Leaders are flexible rather than dogmatic. They believe in unity rather than conformity. And they strive to achieve consensus out of conflict.

領導者處事靈活而不武斷。他們認為與其循規蹈矩不如協調一致。他們力圖在矛盾沖突中秋的意見統一！

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. Leader make the right things happen when they’re supposed to.

領導藝術全在于使下級工作人員不斷的發揮所長，幫助他們最大限度地發掘潛力，推動他們為共同事業而奮斗。領導者務使該辦的事情按時完成。

A good leader, an effective leader, is one who has respect. Respect is something you 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, aspirations and needs, will find that respect is return. And all concerned will be motivated to work together.

好的領導者，卓有成效的領導者，善于對人關懷尊重。要的到人尊重必須尊重別人。領導者對本組織各級人員都表示尊重，對他們的工作，能力，愿望與要求表示關懷，他就會發現人家也尊重他關懷他。這樣，所有有關人員都會激勵起來共同努力。
