Why Leaders Exist

领导者知道将重点放在哪里。

"I've learned that leadership is taking other people where they can't take themselves. I've learned that it's not about you, it's about the person you are leading."
- 密歇根州立大学足球队四分卫柯克·考辛斯(Kirk Cousins)在底特律自由出版社引用

托马斯·尼尔森(Thomas Nelson Publishing)首席执行官迈克尔·凯悦(Michael Hyatt)撰写了一个有关领导力的博客。在这一中,MichaelHyatt.com/why-leaders-exist.html,他相信领导者为什么存在。

"Leaders exist to create a shift in reality," he concludes. Following up with how leaders can shift reality, he offers these ideas:
Identify what needs to change.This is commonly called the situation analysis. What is unacceptable about your current environment? What frustrates you? What disappoints you? What needs to change?
确定您追求的结果。这就是通常的视觉。弄清楚这比了解如何到达那里更重要。您想在现状中创建什么?
决定如何实现结果。This is what is commonly called strategy. There are numerous ways to get to the same destination. Good leaders pick the one that will produce the results they are after in the most economical way.
创建一个行动计划。It is not enough to determine your vision and decide on a strategy, you must carefully craft an action plan with specific milestones and due dates. You have to be able to chart your progress.

In another blog post post (Michaelhyatt.com/a-tale-of-Two-Leaders-wher-are-you.html),凯悦(Hyatt)描述了在他的职业生涯中与两名领导人见面。当他遇到他们时,两者都很出名。只有一个有持久的遗产。凯悦(Hyatt)从事他的职业生涯的出版业务。当他试图签下出版合同时,他会见了第一任领导者。他们在晚餐。领导者在大部分时间里谈到了自己。然后他屏住呼吸,说:“对我足够。让我们谈谈我的书。”

凯悦(Hyatt)28岁时,他在出版比利·格雷厄姆(Billy Graham)的书籍的出版社工作。是的,举世闻名的传教士。凯悦(Hyatt)由他的老板派遣与格雷厄姆(Graham)见面,以建立恋爱关系。老板认为建立关系是建立良好业务的关键。举行会议时,凯悦(Hyatt)走进房间,并提出了一些问题。他从未问过他们。格雷厄姆(Graham)在他进入房间的时候向他打招呼:“嗨,迈克尔。我叫比利。”然后,他开始向凯悦提出许多问题,并在他们讲话时给予他坚定不移的注意。凯悦从来没有机会问他的问题。

Graham is still famous. The other man is not. Hyatt asks, "Which leader are you?"
