How to be a leader
如何做一个成功的领导者 （PART 2）


[6] Take informed risks. "The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise," says management consultant Marilyn Machlowitz. "Sky divers don't go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes 『降落伞』 beforehand."

[6]冒预料中的风险。“最好的领导者都知道冒风险并不是一种鲁莽的行为。”管理顾问玛里琳·马克洛维茨这样说，“跳伞者在没有检查降落伞是否好用之前是不会上飞机的。”

[7] Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us tend to wait for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail-and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.

[7] 由于冒风险也包含了失败的可能性，我们中很多人就倾向于让人们带头去冒险。但是，如果你想成为一个领导者，你就必须学会失败--但不是一受挫折就躺倒不干，而是跌倒了再爬起来，一切从零开始。

[8] Show the way. In 1965, Lee Ducat was a Philadelphia homemaker with a child who had just been found to have diabetes 『糖尿病』 . Ducat tried to reach out to other mothers of diabetic kids, but at first no one wanted to talk.

[8] 以身作则。李·杜坎特是费城的一个家庭妇女，1965年，她的一个孩子被确诊为得了糖尿病。杜坎特想和其他有糖尿病孩子的母亲交往。但一开始没有人愿意和她深入交谈。

[9] Finally Ducat managed to find three other mothers willing to share their experience, and from that beginning she went on to found and lead the Juvenile Diabetes foundation, which currently has 150 chapters worldwide. Ducat also formed and now heads the National disease Research Interchange, which procures human tissues for vital research. Lee Ducat's secret? Being a role model.

[9] 后来，杜坎特终于设法找到了三个愿意彼此分享经历的母亲，自此以后，她再接再励，建立并领导了“青少年糖尿病基金会。”现在该基金会在全世界已有150个分会。杜坎特还建立并领导了“全国疾病研究交流中心”，核中心设法获得供生命研究用的人体组织。杜坎特成功的秘密是什么？身体力行。

[10] "Have you ever noticed that if you smile at people, they smile back?" she asks. "Well, if you're giving, people want to give right back. If you're sure-footed, they want to follow in your footsteps. If you're confident about reaching a goal, others echo that confidence and try to achieve it for you."

[10] 她这样问道：“你是否注意到，如果你向人们微笑，他们也会向你报以微笑吗？”是的。如果你给予别人，别人也会给予你。如果你的步伐坚定，人们就会跟从你。如果你对达到一个目标充满信心，其他人就会同样具有信心并会试着和你一起去实现它。

[11] "The best thing you can do is to get followers to mirror your actions by being what you wish them to be."

[11]“你能做的最好的事情是得到这样一些跟随者，他们仿效你的行为，成为你所希望的那种人。”
