Leaders connect with the people they manage or mentor and develop a nurturing bond.
严师如父!
Leaders delegate responsibility because they explicitly trust in the people they manage or mentor to do the best they can do. Similarly, people respect leaders who they know grew to become a leader and were not merely placed in some position of management.
leader敢于委派责任给下属,是源于对下属的信任;下属对leader的尊重,是源于leader的行为而不是其所在的岗位.
Leaders understand the challenges in the industry and they unleash the potential of the people they manage or mentor to take on and tackle those challenges. If the team fails the leaders accept the responsibility and support their people for giving it their best effort. Then, they rethink the problem, and try again.
严于律己,宽以待人. 宁愿自己承担风险,也会放手让下属发挥其潜力.就算失败了,调整思路,下次再来!
Leaders don't say that something can't be done, or you can't do such and such; they continuously search for alternative solutions to problems.
"行不通"绝对不会出现在leader的字典中.再困难的问题, 他都回坚持寻找更好的解决方法.
Leaders identify hard problems and point the people they manage or mentor in the right direction and say, let's figure out how to solve this together as a team!
遇上难题,leader会给下属指明方向,然后说,让我们看看怎么来一起来解决这个难题!
Leaders don't whine about changes in the industry. We work in one of the most dynamic industries in the world, and leaders can successfully lead their teams to face new challenges head on.

做正人君子!
Leaders challenge the ideas and statements of others, but they do so in a professional manner.

Leaders present compelling points of view based on rational logic and empirical analysis. Not everyone may agree with a point of view, but they comprehend the results, and may sometimes present conflicting data which is repeatable in unbiased studies.
能基于客观事实的分析和富足的经验做出准确的判断. 即便有人不同意, 但是无情的事实会一边一边地证明leader的决断.
Leaders must also occasionally make hard decisions that may be unpopular with the people they manage or mentor or even their own managers.
敢于作出一些果敢的决定, 即便自己的老板可能都不太赞同.
Leaders don't attempt to segregate the discipline or mislead neophytes with reckless statements based on emotional or philosophical ideals.
明辨而淡定, 不会为别人情绪化的行为或者言论而做出轻率的举动.
Leaders have a strong personal constitution and are not swayed by emotional opinions or baseless peer-pressure.

Leaders not only strive to improve the people around them, but they also continually strive to be the best they can be.

Leaders know the difference between 'big-bang' one-time dog-and-pony shows, and achievements that provide lasting results, and they reward accordingly.

Leaders figure out how to permanently fix small problems so they can tackle larger and larger issues.
解决大问题, 是通过把一个一个的小问题从根本上彻底解决来做到的.
Leaders drive themselves and others around them to be the best they can be because they know that being good enough is simply not good enough in the long run.
对自己和别人都严格要求, 追求卓越. 当老好人,其实牺牲的长远将来.
Most importantly, leaders provide strategic direction and help guide and grow the people they manage or mentor to face new and exciting challenges.
