继“吉姆12问”第一个关键问题:“你愿意发展五级领导力吗?”,将继续解读“吉姆12问”的第二个问题,这条原则被广泛归结为4个字—— 先人后事 First Who Then What 。
为什么“人”的魅力如此之大?

Well first of all it all begins with people. My wife had a double stacked me a number years ago and we came out of that experience with a life Montreal, life is people. Life is people , life is people. It all begins with people.
首先,一切从人开始。几年前,我的妻子曾给我造成过双重打击。我们也结束了在蒙特利尔的生活。生活的要义在于人。生活的一切内容都始于人。
And when we begin doing our research years ago what became good to great. Of course we expected that you would always have some sort of charismatic visionary force that would lead companies good to great by taking people and motivating to go there and that is of course not what we found. We found that those who took companies from good to great first figured out who should be on the bus and who should be off the bus and who should be in what seats. And then they figured out where to drive the bus. First get the right people, first get them in the right seats then figure out where to drive the bus. This is what we found. It always began with first getting the right people.
并且当我们几年前开始做研究的时候,什么是从优秀到卓越的秘诀。我们当然期待,你们都具有某种魅力,具有远瞻性,具有引导公司从优秀到卓越的力量,带领员工,动员他们去实现目标。而这当然不是我们发现的内容,我们发现那些带领公司从优秀走向卓越的人,首先就想好了谁应该进入公司,而谁应该离开公司,甚至各个员工都能被安置到合适的位置。这一切清楚后,他们就能明白他们的公司要向哪个方向行进。首先就是要选择对的员工,并安排他们到合适的位置,之后便能清楚公司行进的方向。这是我们研究的内容,一切总是始于获得正确的人。
I mentioned the mastectomy experience and the power of this lesson came back to me in a personal way. It was a moment of disruption in our lives and I was nervous and uncertain and not sure what we should do and of course what did I do when I was afraid. The absolute enduring love of my wife. Well I went right to what, what’s the diagnosis, what’s the treatment, what’s the schedule,what what what what.
我曾提及过乳房切除手术的经历,而这节课程的力量又以一种个人形式回归到我身上。那是我生命中的一段混乱时期,我十分忐忑不安,并不确定自己该做些什么。当然,当我感到害怕时,我又能做些什么。我妻子永恒持久的爱。我找到了正确的方向,相应的诊断和治疗方案,相应的目标和规划,以及其他等等事情。
And Joann says to me, why don’t you read your own book. You’re asking the wrong question. The question is not what , it’s who. Who should be the oncologist, who should be the radiologist, who should be the surgeon. If we get the right whose on the bus we will get the best outcomes. So if you want to help me Jim, help me find the right people on this bus. It applies and everything when you are facing a challenge, when you’re facing uncertainty. When you’re facing a question, try to change every “what” question into a “who” question. try to change every “what” question into a “who” question.
然后乔安对我说,你为什么不看你自己的书?你正在问着一个错误的问题。这个问题并不在于此,而在于是谁。谁应该是肿瘤医生,谁应该是放射科医生,而谁又应该是主刀(外科)医生。如果我们有正确的人在车上, 我们将会得到最好的结果。因此,如果你想帮助我,那就帮我找到适合上我这辆车的人。它适用于当你面临一切挑战时所面对的一切事物,当你面对着不确定性。当你在承受问题时,努力去将每一个“什么”问题转变为一个“谁”问题。
And of course as the world goes more out of control and more unpredictable and more chaotic, this becomes increasingly important. We did not find in our research and turbulence and chaos that those who do well are better able to predict what is going to come. They have no better ability than you or I do. What they do is they have the ability to prepare for what they cannot possibly predict.
当然,随着世界变得更加失控,更加不可预测更加疯狂,这一点也愈加重要。在我们对动荡和混乱时期的研究中,并没有发现那些做的好的人能够更好的预测将要发生的事情。他们的能力并不强于你我。他们所做的是他们有能力为不可能预测的事情做准备。
And if you are going to go on a big, dangerous, scary mountain that could have all kinds of storms and things that you don’t predict. What is the single most important decision you make. It’s not strategy for climbing the mountain, it is who you have as your climbing partner. Who you know that no matter what, will always save your life. Note though of course, there is leadership at all of this. And we have to ask the question what distinguishes those exceptional leaders. And it’s not personality. We live in a culture that reveres personality, reveres charismatic forces, reveres the idea that it is a force of personality. Force of personality is not the same as leadership.
如果你要攀登上一个高耸,危险的山峰,你将可能遇到各种风暴和意外,而那些是你无法预料的。那你做出的一个最重要的决定又是什么。并不是制定攀登山峰的策略,而是选择谁作为你的登山伙伴。是那个无论是怎样险境下,都会拯救你生命的人。注意,当然还要领导力在这一切中的地位。那么我们就会发问,是什么让这些卓越的领导者与众不同?那并不是个人品格。我们生活在一个崇尚个性的文化中,崇尚魅力,也崇尚力量,是一种个人力量的想法。人格的力量并不等同于领导力。
