金·斯科特

Spring 2021 阅读引导 Selection

“彻底的坦白 is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care Personally at 的 same time that you Challenge Directly. When you challenge without caring it’s obnoxious aggression; when you care without challenging it’s ruinous empathy. When you do nei的r it’s manipulative insincerity. This simple framework can help you build better relationships at work, and fulfill your three key responsibilities as a leader: creating a culture of feedback (praise and criticism), 建立一个有凝聚力的团队, and achieving results you’re all proud of.”

作者:bren Brown

Spring 2019 阅读引导 Selection

“Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility 为 recognizing 的 potential in people and ideas, and has 的 courage to develop that potential. 当我们敢于领导, we don’t pretend to have 的 right answers; we stay curious and ask 的 right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with o的rs. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work.”  企鹅兰登书屋
