曾任職知名《財星》雜誌,負責調查世界排名的500大企業、提供超過200名CEO管理建議的Roselinde Torres發現,近年來管理職位的人才落差日益趨大,商業模式已經無法比照過去的傳統,她決定辭去工作,專心調查此趨勢的原因,並為21世紀的領導者,統整出三個必須問自己的問題。
當代領導者的成功三大因素
問題1:你認為你的人生和下一套運行的商業模式,會在什麼時候有轉變?
沒有人能夠預測這樣的轉變何時發生,但是否有機會轉變則有跡可循。你可以從你近期的代辦事項、平常相處的朋友、和他人談論的話題、正在讀的書或是去旅行的國家裡找到蛛絲馬跡,這些看似毫無關聯的事情,會形成一種影響,讓你做出一個為了迎向未來而下的決定。當代領導者會對身處的環境維持高敏感度,他們不單只是對未來做出反應,還能夠自己塑造自己的未來。
問題2:你的人際網路是否具有多元性?
我們通常只和與自己類似的人相處,而成功領導者的關鍵就在於──你是否能和與你完全不同的人相處融洽?這可能是生理、心理、政治、文化或經濟上的差異,若你能夠擁抱這些差異,讓他們願意和你保持聯繫、拓展交友圈,將能提高解決問題的層次、擁有更廣泛的資源,並綜觀每件事的各個面向。
問題3:你是否夠勇敢,可以拋棄過去讓你成功的習慣?
“隨遇而安,逆來順受”確實能讓你擁有一個安穩的人生,但成功的領導者不會紙上談兵,而會實際去闖一闖。當你有足夠的情緒智商,去忍受他人批判你的想法“太天真”、“太愚笨”的時候,就會出現一群你意想不到的人,他們不屬於你原本的圈子,但因為彼此存在許多不同想法,雙方都會更願意去嘗試那些被認定“愚蠢”的新靈感。
Roselinde Torres, a former well-known Fortune Star magazine investigating 500 top companies in the world and providing management advice to more than 200 CEOs, found that in recent years, the gap between managerial positions has become wider and wider. Business models are no longer comparable to past traditions. She decided to quit her job and focus on investigating the causes of this trend, and put together three questions for leaders in the 21st century. My own problems.
Three main factors for the success of contemporary leaders
Question 1: When do you think your life and the next business model will change?
No one can predict when such a change will occur, but there are signs of whether there is an opportunity for such a change. You can find clues from your recent agency, regular friends, topics you talk to others, books you're reading, or countries you're traveling to. These seemingly unrelated events can have an impact on your decision to move forward in the future. Contemporary leaders are highly sensitive to the environment in which they live. They are not only responsive to the future, but also able to shape their own future.
Question 2: Does your Internet have diversity?
We usually only get along with people like ourselves, and the key to a successful leader is - can you get along well with people who are completely different from you? This may be physical, psychological, political, cultural or economic differences. If you can embrace these differences and make them willing to keep in touch with you and expand their circle of friends, it will improve the level of problem solving, have a wider range of resources, and look at every aspect of everything.
Question 3: Are you brave enough to abandon the habits that made you successful in the past?
"Be at ease with circumstances, and accept adversities" can really make you have a stable life, but successful leaders will not talk on paper, but will actually make a break. When you have enough emotional intelligence to tolerate criticism of your ideas as "naive" and "dumb", there will be a group of unexpected people who are not part of your original circle, but because there are many different ideas, both sides will be more willing to try new inspirations that are considered "dumb".
