我感到同樣興奮的是,雅芳在中國培養(yǎng)下一代女性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者所取得的成果。這里有78%的成員是女性,更令人欽佩的是,女性更在經(jīng)理和主管隊(duì)伍里占75%,咋最高層的管理人員中占30%。
With Avon's reputation for promoting women and my own career success, I am often asked for advice on how people can prepare themselves to be the leaders of tomorrow. In fact, over my career, I have come to believe that there are indeed some very special qualities that distinguish all leaders—and help them stand out in today's competitive arena.
隨著雅芳在為女性服務(wù)方面的聲譽(yù)和對我個(gè)人職業(yè)成功的宣傳,我經(jīng)常被問及如何成為明日的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。其實(shí),回想起我的職業(yè)生涯,我逐漸相信的確有一些非常特殊的品質(zhì)決定了哪些人會成為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,并幫助他們在當(dāng)今競爭激烈的環(huán)境中顯露鋒芒。
First is Passion. You have to love the work you do. You have to be excited to come to work every day. They taught us the four principles of marketing when I went to school: product,price, place, promotion. But they didn't teach us the fifth, most critical principle which as far as I'm concerned is Passion, the key to being truly successful as a leader over the long run.
首先是熱情。你必須熱愛你所做的工作。你為每天去工作感到興奮。我上學(xué)的時(shí)候老師教我們市場營銷的四P原則:產(chǎn)品(product),價(jià)格(price),地點(diǎn)(place)和促銷(promotion)。但他們沒有告訴我第五個(gè),也是我認(rèn)為最重要的原則:熱情(passion)——從長遠(yuǎn)來看,這是成為一個(gè)真正成功的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的關(guān)鍵因素。
No matter what career path you choose, I believe you have to love what you do. My own personal experience proves this point.
不管你選擇哪一條職業(yè)發(fā)展之路,我認(rèn)為你必須熱愛你的選擇。我的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷證明了這一點(diǎn)。
