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.

Leaders demand much of others, but also give much of themselves. They are ambitious - 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.

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.

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.

參考譯文

什么是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)?

領(lǐng)導(dǎo)應(yīng)具備什么品質(zhì)，這很難精確地解說，但描述指陳卻不難。

領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者不強(qiáng)制別人與自己協(xié)調(diào)一致，而是幫助他們跟上。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者讓別人承擔(dān)義務(wù)，首先自己承擔(dān)義務(wù)，造成一種能鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)造的環(huán)境，待人誠懇，處事公正。

領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者對人要求很多，同時(shí)給人也很多。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(shè)法吸引大家，留住他們，使他們充分發(fā)揮才能。

好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者不是孤獨(dú)的護(hù)林員。他們認(rèn)識到一個(gè)組織要獲得成功，其方針在于把許多人的才能和力量結(jié)合起來。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)藝術(shù)是一種催化劑，把眾人的才智轉(zhuǎn)化成業(yè)績。

領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者明白，在爭論的問題上出現(xiàn)兩種意見時(shí)，并非必然有一種是錯(cuò)的。他們認(rèn)識到匆忙草率就會促成膚淺片面。他們愿意接受新的設(shè)想或建議，但對它們的后果要作認(rèn)真的探討。
