Angela Duckworth:我辞去Character Lab首席执行官一职,是因为我不喜欢领导工作。我喜欢研究和写作,这些活动更能让我充满能量。虽然我最初认为兼任教授和非营利组织CEO是不可能的,但这段经历让我成长。Sean Talamas实际上负责Character Lab的日常运营,而我主要担任象征性角色。我更倾向于‘趋近导向’,而非‘回避导向’。我喜欢阅读心理学、谈论心理学,这些活动让我精力充沛;而运营组织、开会、制定计划等活动则让我感到精疲力尽。我离开Character Lab并非因为不喜欢解决问题,而是因为我更喜欢从事不同类型的活动,例如与Danny Kahneman讨论注意力,研究如何提高学生的学习积极性。 Stephen Dubner:Angela辞去CEO职位的原因是她更喜欢专注于机遇而非解决问题。Peter Drucker认为优秀的领导者专注于机遇而非问题,Angela的行为也印证了这一点。现在担任领导职务很困难,因为社会环境复杂,人们容易产生不满情绪。领导职位有很多缺点,许多人因此不愿意担任领导职务。Character Lab没有进行正式的继任计划。
