达沃斯改变未来的四个半好点子

    于是就引出了我所说的四个半想法中的那“半个”想法。我之所以称之为“半个”想法，是因为它确实是上述提及的每一个想法的“另一半”。而这“另一半”想法就是：认识到稳健领导风格的影响力及重要性。如果没有有效的领导，最强大的想法也会完全消失。达沃斯论坛上辩论激烈的两个问题就是：“谁将成为未来的领袖？”以及“他或她将会如何发挥领导作用？”

    我从今年达沃斯论坛中得出的结论是，未来的领导地位将不再是按照法律或合同授予的一个权利或资格，而是领导者必须每年、每天、每分钟通过实际行动赢得的一项权利。未来的领导者将是那些首先拥有同情心的人，因为要理解那些无法传达自己意愿的弱势群体的需求，这是唯一的途径。

    This brings me to the 'half' of my four-and-a-half ideas. I call it a "half" because it is really the "other half" of every idea mentioned above. And that "other half" is recognizing the power and importance of solid leadership. The most powerful ideas die without effective leadership. Two intensely debated questions at Davos were, "Who will be the leader of tomorrow?" and "How will he or she lead?"

    What I took away from Davos this year was that leadership in the future will no longer be an entitlement but a right that will have to be earned through actions every year, every day, and every minute. The leader of the future will be someone who can first be an empathetic person, as that is the only way he or she will understand the needs of those who lack their reach.
