Jim Collins:领导力不是教出来的,而是学来的。它始于认识到需要做的事情,并通过艺术手段让其他人也愿意参与其中。他以学校校长为例,说明领导者需要承担责任,并激励他人共同努力。他还提到,领导者应该关注团队成员,而不是自己的职业生涯。 Jennifer Garvey Berger:伟大的领导者能够提升他人,使他们变得更好,这与传统的魅力型领导者不同。她认为,在复杂的世界中,我们需要的是能够创造条件让每个人都变得更好的领导者,而不是依赖于单一领导者的英雄式领导。 Randall Stutman:优秀的领导者给予反馈的方式非常重要。他们能够在积极和消极反馈之间取得平衡,并使积极反馈与消极反馈在数量和细节上都相匹配。他强调,要将反馈变成一种习惯,而不是技巧,这样才能更好地帮助他人提升。 Kat Cole:在领导中,做正确的事比坚持自己是正确的更重要,即使这意味着要挑战公司的既定标准。她以在阿根廷开设餐厅的经历为例,说明了如何根据当地文化调整策略,即使这与公司的标准相冲突。 Alan Mullally:他提出的“一起工作”管理系统强调原则、实践、治理流程、领导团队、创造价值路线图和业务计划审查之间的相互作用,并通过领导力榜样和问责制来促进团队合作。他还将这种管理系统应用于家庭生活中,取得了良好的效果。 Diana Chapman:她强调坦诚沟通的重要性,并建议团队成员之间互相分享彼此的故事,以便更好地了解彼此,并促进团队合作和决策。她还介绍了一种名为“事实与故事”的实践方法,帮助团队成员更坦诚地交流。 Jim Collins: Leadership is not something that can be taught, but rather learned. It begins with recognizing what needs to be done and using skillful means to get others to want to participate. He uses the example of school principals to illustrate how leaders need to take responsibility and inspire others to work together. He also mentions that leaders should focus on team members, not their own careers. Jennifer Garvey Berger: Great leaders elevate others, making them better, which is different from traditional charismatic leaders. She argues that in a complex world, we need leaders who can create conditions that make everyone better, rather than relying on the heroic leadership of a single leader. Randall Stutman: The way excellent leaders give feedback is very important. They are able to strike a balance between positive and negative feedback, and make the positive feedback match the negative feedback in quantity and detail. He emphasizes that feedback should become a habit, not a technique, so that it can better help others improve. Kat Cole: In leadership, doing the right thing is more important than insisting that you are right, even if it means challenging the company's established standards. She uses the experience of opening a restaurant in Argentina as an example to illustrate how to adjust strategies based on local culture, even if it conflicts with company standards. Alan Mullally: His proposed "Working Together" management system emphasizes the interaction between principles, practices, governance processes, leadership teams, creating value roadmaps, and business plan reviews, and promotes teamwork through leadership examples and accountability. He also applies this management system to family life, with good results. Diana Chapman: She emphasizes the importance of candid communication and suggests that team members share each other's stories to better understand each other and promote teamwork and decision-making. She also introduces a practice called "fact and story" to help team members communicate more candidly.
