The Leadership Lesson They Don't Teach In Business School But Should

商学院没有教给你的领导力课程

I’ve always believed leadership exists to disrupt mediocrity, but I’m afraid in recent times many leaders are losing that battle. Somewhere along the way, they threw in the towel and settled for a weak-kneed, watered-down version of leadership –they have rationalized and justified themselves into an acceptance of mediocrity.

我一直相信，领导力的存在是为了打破平庸，但是我担心，当今的许多领导者正在输掉这场战斗。在前进途中的某个地方，他们缴枪投降，满足于软弱的态度，削弱了领导力——他们寻找借口，自圆其说，让自己接受平庸。

The sad reality is that in many cases, the education, training and development leaders receive today is woefully inadequate. We are producing analysts and risk managers and labeling them leaders. We’ve taught them to be practical, analytical, and risk adverse, but have failed to equip them to lead.

在许多情况下，这就是可悲的现实，现在领导者所接受的教育、培训和培养严重不足。我们在打造分析师和风险管理者，为他们贴上领导者的标签。我们告诉他们要讲求实际、善于分析和规避风险，但是没有教会他们如何做领袖。

Too many leaders look alike, think alike and act alike. It’s almost as if courageous leadership has been bled out of many of those holding positions of leadership. Great numbers of leaders seem to have wandered off course and are badly in need of a road map to help them regain their bearing. I have recently authored a new book, Hacking Leadership (Wiley), which is being released next Monday (12/16). It’s my hope this book will serve as just that road map.

有如此多的领导者无论从外形、思想还是从行动上看，都像是从一个模子出来的。现在看来，似乎许多占据领导岗位的人已经丧失了勇敢果断的领导力。为数众多的领导者好像已经偏离了轨道，急需路线图来帮助他们重新找到自己的方向。我最近撰写了一本新书《黑客领导力》（Hacking Leadership）。我希望此书可以成为领导者的路线图。

Today’s column will not only provide you with a brief overview of my book, but I’m hopeful it may rekindle a spark still flickering somewhere deep down inside you –that it will cause you to reexamine your definition of truly remarkable leadership. Whether you read the book or not is up to you, but if we don’t start viewing leadership through an altogether different lens I can guarantee you won’t like the outcome.

本文不仅向你简要介绍我的这本书，而且我希望这可以在你内心深处的某个地方重新燃起闪烁的火花——这会让你重新审视自己对真正非凡的领导力的定义。你读不读这本书由你自己决定，但是如果我们没有从完全不同的角度看待领导力，我可以保证你不会喜欢最终的结果。

So, what is hacking leadership? It’s a framework for thinking, acting, and leading differently. It challenges conventional leadership constructs, and offers insights on why what we’ve been duped into referring to as leadership is actually very far from the real thing. The thought is to use adaptive, applied, and creative thinking combined with enhanced problem solving skills to become a more skilled leader. To become more self aware as a leader, to more rapidly identify blind spots, and to close critical gaps keeping you, your team, and your organization from reaching your leadership potential.

那么，什么是黑客领导力？这是一个不同于以往的思维、行动和领导力框架。这挑战了传统领导力的结构，提供了独特的见解，说明为什么我们对领导力的错误概念实际上远远偏离现实。其指导思想在于，使用自适应、实用和创新的思维，结合强大的解决问题能力，让你成为更熟练的领导者。增强作为领导者的自我意
