對于一位強(qiáng)有力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者來說,最關(guān)鍵的能力就是要對一些原則和目標(biāo)堅(jiān)定不移。任何領(lǐng)導(dǎo)如果很頻繁的、很輕易的為大眾意志而轉(zhuǎn)移的話,他將會一事無成。
Ever wondered about the most essential quality of an effective leader? Outstanding intellect? High standard morality and ethos? Or the consistence committed to particular principles and objectives?According to me, since leaders are playing such an important role in every aspect of our society,including politics, academia, business and so forth, they need myriad qualities to gain success,therefore making every mentioned ability indispensable. It is hard to say which one is more important. On the other hand, consistence to certain principles and objectives do have advantages,including help the leaders realize their policies and hang on ideals, but such concerns should be carefully taken or certain risks of democracy, development and awareness will be caused.
Being committed to particular principles and objectives can help a leader make his leadership unique and defined. In many fields, leaders often take a lot time to accomplish their missions of directing the enterprises. If their ideas shift easily from time to time, their followers will feel confused and cannot concentrate their power. For instance, the former head coach of England soccer team, Sven Eriksson, led his team to gain little feats in the World Cup 2006 in Germany,even before the game most people are taking them as the most competitive team according to their super stars. After defeated by Portugal, the academia analyzed reasons, and drew to a conclusion that Eriksson did little independent thinking when leading his team, just following the strategies pointed out by public. It is the unstable strategy that caused England's failure. An opposite example involves the world champion coach, Aim Jacquet, who led France to win 1998 World Cup in their own country. Jacquet excluded many outstanding and popular players before the game started, and was widely condemned by public. But the reality turned out to support his choice, with a champion cup. This comparison can tell us about the importance of being committed to particular principles and objectives, and reason lays in that public are often trapped by ostensible phenomenon, while leaders can gain more information and experience, as well as to take a more comprehensive and effective thinking. Jacquet was believed considering sufficient aspects of those outstanding players and made the choice correctly after striking a balance among these aspects. Sometimes the public are easily cheated by media and a few people, therefore agitated to wrong way.
