Are You a Successful Leader?
你是个成功的领导者吗?
1 Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation. At work or at play, you will find yourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with colleagues, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a day out walking in the mountains, a group of neighbors wanting to make changes. It is now recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys to success, partly because we need to do it so often.
这个世界上几乎没有什么东西是单独一个人完成的。不管是在工作还是玩耍,你会发现都是成群结队的,和其他人一起共事:工作中的团队,和同事开会,你的家人,和朋友度假,一组学生一起学习研究,去山上玩一天,一群需要换零钱的邻居。人们已经认识到能够和他人成功共事是取得成功的关键要素,部分原因是因为我们常常需要和他人共事。
2 In almost every situation where you’re in a group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated. Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.
