Leadership is hardly a new area of research, of course. For years, academics have debated whether leaders are born or made, whether a person who lacks charisma can become a leader, and what makes leaders fail. Warren G. Bennis, possibly the world’s foremost expert on leading, has, together with his co-author, written two best-sellers on the topic. Generally, researchers have found that you can’t explain leadership by way of intelligence, birth order, family wealth or stability, level of education, race, or sex. From one leader to the next there’s enormous variance in every one of those factors.
The authors’ research led to a new and telling discovery: that every leader, regardless of age, had undergone at least one intense, transformational experience — what the authors call "crucible". These events can either make you or break you. For emerging leaders, they do more making than breaking, providing key lessons to help a person move ahead confidently.
If a crucible helps a person to become a leader, there are four essential qualities that allow someone to remain one, according to the authors. They are: "an adaptive capacity" that lets people not only survive inevitable setbacks, heartbreaks, and difficulties but also learn from them, an ability to engage others through shared meaning or a common vision; a distinctive and compelling voice that communicates one’s conviction and desire to do the right thing; and a sense of integrity that allows a leader to distinguish between good and evil.
That sounds obvious enough to be commonplace, until you look at some recent failures that show how valid these dictums (formal statements of opinion) are. The authors believe that former Coca-Cola Co. Chairman, M. Douglas Ivester lasted just 28 months because "his grasp of context was sorrowful". Among other things, Ivester degraded Coke’s highest-ranking African-American even as the company was losing a $200 million class action brought by black employees. Procter & Gamble Co. ex-CEO Durk Jager lost his job because he failed to communicate the urgent need for the sweeping changes he was making.
It’s striking, too, that the authors found their geezers (whose formative period, as the authors define them, was 1945 to 1954, and who were shaped by World War II) sharing what they believed to be a critical trait — the sense of possibility and wonder more often associated with childhood. "Unlike those defeated by time and age, our geezers have remained much like our geeks (who came of age between 1991 and 2000, and grew up "virtual, visual and digital") — open, willing to take risks, hungry for knowledge and experience, courageous, and eager to see what the new day brings, " the authors write. [br] A leader can hardly maintain his/her position unless he/she______.
选项
A、fulfills all necessary quality requirements
B、helps people to prevent defeats and sorrows
C、fails to attract people with common concerns
D、lacks appeal and strength of character
答案
A
解析
本题细节定位于第三段第一句话“If a crucible helps a person to become a leader,there are four essential qualities that allow someone to remain one,according to the authors”。根据作者们的研究,如果说严酷的考验能帮助一个人成为一名领导者,那么保持领导地位则需要四种基本素质。由此可知,领导者必须具备一定的素质要求。A项与原文意思相符。B项只是这四种基本素质中的一种。C和D两项与原文意思正好相反。因此选择A。
