问题     Intelligence makes for better leaders—from undergraduates to executives to presidents—according to multiple studies. It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or legislative logjam (僵局)【C1】________ cognitive oomph (活力). But new research on leadership suggests that, at a certain【C2】________ , having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.
    Although【C3】________ research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by objective measures, some studies have hinted that followers might【C4】________ view leaders with supreme intellect as less effective.

The managers took IQ tests and each was rated on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several other【C6】________ —up to a point. The ratings peaked at an IQ of around 120, which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings【C7】________ .
    The researchers suggest that the right interpretation of the finding would be that it【C8】________ a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower perceptions by followers.

The only way a smart person can signal their intelligence【C10】________ and still connect with the people is to speak in charismatic (有超凡魅力的) ways.
