鮑威爾的經典領導學課件英文(ppt 20頁)

"Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off."
Good leadership involves responsibility to the welfare of the group, which
means that some people will get angry at your actions and decisions. It's
inevitable, if you're honorable. Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign
of mediocrity: you'll avoid the tough decisions, you'll avoid confronting the
people who need to be confronted, and you'll avoid offering differential
rewards based on differential performance because some people might
get upset. Ironically, by procrastinating on the difficult choices, by trying
not to get anyone mad, and by treating everyone equally "nicely" regardless
of their contributions, you'll simply ensure that the only people you'll wind
up angering are the most creative and productive people in the organization.
"The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the
day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost
confidence that you can help them or concluded that you
do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."
