謙遜是偉大領導力的本質 Humility is the Essence of Great Leadership
People often mistake a humble person for a weak person, and that is a big mistake!
人們常常把謙虛的人誤認為是軟弱的人，這是一個很大的錯誤!
The strongest people are not those that show strength in front of us. But those who win battles we know nothing about.
最強的人不是那些在我們面前展示出力量的人。然而我們對在戰斗中勝出的人一無所知。
Humility is not typically the first thing that comes to mind when you think about great business leaders. Actually is quite the opposite, it is extremely hard for most successful leaders of top companies or brands to stay humble when they are often interviewed, are on TV, on covers of magazines, and so on and at times these people become hardly accessible.
當你提及偉大的商業領袖時，謙遜常常不是第一個被想到的品質。實際上恰恰相反，對于大多數成功的頂級公司或品牌的領導者來說，當他們經常被采訪、在電視上、在雜志封面上或其他情況的時候都很難保持謙虛，有時這些人會變得不那么平易近人。
But what makes outstanding leaders are not pictures on the cover of magazines, or a God-like status given to many of the successful people. No, it is humility and the ability to stay true to your own core values despite all of your success.
但是，造就杰出領導者的不是雜志封面上的圖片，也不是許多成功人士所享有的神一般的地位。這些都不是，是謙遜，以及不管你取得多大成就還仍然忠于自己的核心價值觀的能力。
Humble leaders understand that they are not the smartest person in every room. Nor do they need to be. They encourage people to speak up, respect differences of opinion, and champion the best ideas, regardless of whether they originate from a top executive or a production-line employee.
謙遜的領導者明白，他們并不是每個房間里最聰明的人。他們也不需要這樣。他們鼓勵人們暢所欲言，尊重不同的意見，支持最好的想法，不管這些想法是來自高管還是生產線上的員工。
Many research studies have concluded that humble leaders listen more effectively, inspire great teamwork, and focus everyone (including themselves) on organizational goals better than leaders who don’t score high on humility.
許多研究得出的結論是，謙遜的領導者比那些不謙遜的領導者更能有效地傾聽，激發優秀的團隊合作，更能讓每個人(包括他們自己)專注于組織目標。
When a leader works to harness input from everyone, it carries through the organization. As other executives and line managers emulate the leader’s approach, a culture of getting the best from every team and every individual takes deep roots.
當一個領導者努力利用每個人的意見時，它會貫穿整個組織。隨著其他高管和直屬經理效仿領導者的做法，從每個團隊和每個人身上獲得最佳效果的文化就會根深蒂固。
In short, leaders know how to get the most from people. When things go wrong, humble leaders admit to their mistakes and take responsibility. When things go right, they shine the spotlight on others. At the heart of humility is a desire to serve and a dedication to helping others become great. That’s the essence of leadership; helping your people reach their full potential, helping your team maximize their gifts, helping people to become the best version of themselves.
簡而言之，領導者知道如何從人們身上獲得最大價值。當事情出錯時，謙遜的領導者承認他們的錯誤并承擔責任。當事情進展順利時，他們會把聚光燈照在別人身上。謙遜的核心是服務他人的愿望和幫助他人變得偉大的奉獻精神。這就是領導力的本質：幫助你的員工發揮他們的全部潛力，幫助你的團隊最大化他們的天賦，幫助人們成為最好的自己。
Never confuse humility with weakness; as a matter of fact, it takes great strength of will and character to put the needs of others before your own. To admit your mistakes, to be vulnerable, transparent, and human in front of your team.
永遠不要把謙遜和軟弱混為一談。事實上，把別人的需要放在自己的需要之前，需要很強大的意志力和性格。承認自己的錯誤，在團隊面前表現得脆弱、透明、人性化。
Humble leaders exhibit behaviors that lift their team’s spirits, self-esteem, and confidence to achieve anything imaginable. How you treat people said a lot about you, and your leadership will be judged on how you inspire, influence, and motivate your people. It has nothing to do with how much money you have or your position or title; it has nothing to do with that. It’s all about inspiring people to believe that they can achieve anything beyond their own limiting belief of themselves.
謙遜的領導者表現出的行為能夠提升團隊的精神、自尊和信心，從而實現任何可以想象的事情。你對待別人的方式說明了很多關于你的事情，而你的領導能力將取決于你如何啟發、影響和激勵你的員工。這不是你有多少錢、你的職位或頭銜，與這些都無關。這一切是關于激勵人們去相信，相信他們可以取得任何超越自己有限信念的成就。
Humble leaders can achieve the unimaginable. Still, it all starts with a focus on the people you are entrusted to serve and your ability to drive people forward with excitement, inspiration, trust, and vision. To become one of the great leaders, it takes the strength of character and a firm commitment to do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason. This means doing what you say when you say it and creating an environment of trust that allows everyone to produce their very best work.
謙遜的領導者可以成就難以想象的事情。不過，這一切都是從關注那些你被委任去服務的人開始的，以及你用激情、鼓舞、信任和遠見推動人們前進的能力。做一個偉大的領導者，需要品格的力量和堅定的決心，為了正確的理由，在正確的時間，做正確的事情。這意味著你要說到做到，創造一個信任的環境，讓每個人都能做出他們最好的工作。
Can you inspire your team's hearts and minds every day?
你能每天激勵你的團隊嗎？
Inspiration creates the highest levels of engagement, it is what separates the best leaders from everyone else, and it is what employees want most in their leaders. The Inspirational Leader, inspire your team to “Believe in The Impossible”！
激勵創造了最高水平的敬業度，這是最好的領導者與其他人的區別，也是員工最想從他們的領導者身上得到的東西。鼓舞人心的領導者，激勵你的團隊去“相信不可能”!
