Information will be the greatest opportunity for business leaders in the coming years—and perhaps our biggest headache. Since the dawn of the Internet, all of us in business have been swept up by the
Niagara of information
that fills our daily life. Real-life updates from the Hang Seng index; photos shared around the world seconds after they’ve been taken; customized maps and directions delivered to you even as you drive. It is all breathtaking.
But for the leaders in business, the information surge has triggered its own unintended consequence, especially for those over 40. Today new employees arrive on their first day with an alarming amount of know-it-all. They have already read about you, and the online critiques of your plans, strategies and management style. The bloggers and the twitters—all receiving steady streams of in-house gossip—analyze, assess and ridicule every business moment. In this environment, traditional management is impossible. The hierarchical, layered structures in which company information is carefully managed and then selectively passed down the line have crumbled. The online era has made command-and-control management as another
dial-up Internet
.
Although decision-making has always been the task of a leader, it has become harder. The online world has guaranteed that every remark about your business and every change you implement will trigger a viral frenzy of second-guessing. Borrowing from the black bag of politics, your competitors will also be spreading their version of "opposition research", feeding the blogosphere with critiques of your leadership.
So the greatest task for leadership in business is the ability to cut through the information clutter and make clear decisions without apology. More than at any time, employees need unequivocal direction. Leaders should not only grow a thicker skin, but also understand how important they can be to their own team by interpreting both the news and the disinformation. When some CEOs spoke to an audience, they were often required to talk about their reaction to some recent press story or the latest legislative debate. These are wonderful opportunities for leadership. Employees, investors, customers and business partners are heartened by
those
who can
sift through
the flood of opinion and clearly communicate what matters—and what doesn’t—to the enterprise.
Of course, communication cannot be a one-way street. The central role of information in business life has made two other much neglected leadership tasks more urgent.
The first is listening. Listening to your employees at every level is one of the best paths to new insights. Precisely because the Internet has made information so plentiful, your own team is likely to be full of ideas that should be tapped into.
The second obligation that information creates for executives is to identify and mentor thought leaders. It is pressing to find those employees who have the ability to digest and interpret information for others.
The flood of information is only going to rise. Leadership will increasingly mean leveraging that information, clarifying it, and using it to advance your strategy, engage customers and motivate employees. Business stakeholders are interested not only in your products and services, but also in your ideas. [br] What does the expression "the Niagara of information" underlined in Paragraph 1 refer to?
选项
A、Rising information
B、The region of Niagara.
C、Information flooding
D、The information about Niagara.
答案
C
解析
the Niagara of information后是that引导的定语从句,根据fills our daily life“充斥我们的日常生活”可知信息量很大,也就是“信息泛滥”,故选C。A“增加的信息”中的Rising没有原文依据,其他两项也是利用原词Niagara作干扰,故排除。
