關於積極心態

由於我的想法塑造了我的命運，保持積極的心態至關重要。狹窄的觀點可能會限制我們的視野。我可以努力成為一個出色的公眾演講者和作者，甚至通過考試成為合格的專業人士。達到我的目標的唯一障礙就是我自己。

如果我採取成長心態，我可以實現任何事情。我相信自己，並知道努力工作將幫助我實現我的目標。然而，固定的心態可能會妨礙進步，使目標看似無法達成。回顧過去，真正的尷尬不是未能達到我們的目標，而是從未嘗試去實現它們。

我追求個人成功，不僅為了我自己的利益，也為了給其他人做出示例。我的失敗和我學到的教訓可以幫助未來的世代避免犯相同的錯誤。有些挑戰似乎是我個人獨有的，但無數的人都曾面對過類似的障礙，並且從未記錄他們的經歷，因而錯過了幫助他人從他們的錯誤中學習的機會。

我想保留我的想法，因為它們是真正屬於這個時刻的。我的話語具有改變我的生活並激勵他人採取更樂觀態度的潛力。積極的心態對於任何事業都是基礎；否則，障礙將看似無法克服。

擁有積極的心態意味著樂觀地解釋世界。雖然有許多觀點存在，我們可以專注於消極的解讀，或者尋找積極的方面。這並不是要忽視世界的問題，而是要在其中找到機會。

我們如何感知我們的現實可以大大影響我們的幸福和成功。每一個中立的事件都提供了成長和學習的機會。擁抱這些機會不僅可以豐富我們的生活，也能對我們周圍的人產生積極的影響。

培養積極的觀點可以使你變得更加平易近人，並激勵他人。通過看到他人的優點，我們可以建立更強大的社區並鼓勵積極的行為。

人們通常可以分為兩類：那些尋求積極的人和那些不這樣做的人。不去尋找世界上的好事會限制你的機會，並對你的社交互動產生負面影響。分享積極的能量可以提振一個對自我形象感到消沉的人。

慶祝更樂觀心態的逐步進步可以加強積極的思考。我們的大腦有形成習慣的能力，並且經常的慶祝可以幫助建立積極思考的模式。這反過來又可以幫助我們善待自己並尊重自己。

有時，讓我們的思維遠離消極可能會很困難。然而，每日積極思考、運動和專注的努力可以大大改善我們的生活。無論在工作還是在個人生活中，持續改進都是成功的關鍵。

走向積極心態的旅程是一種選擇。隨著時間的推移，逐步的改進可以帶來顯著的成長。建設性的反饋和對個人發展的堅定信念可以使你無堅不摧。

消極思考不僅會使我們分心，還會消耗寶貴的時間。用有建設性的活動來代替這些想法可以帶來和平和專注。雖然消極的想法可以作為警告，但如果它們無法激發行動，它們就會變得毫無成效。

打破舊的習慣並建立新的、積極的習慣是一個持續的過程。設定可達成的目標可以提供成功的路線圖，促進自信心和心理健康。

堅持消極心態有許多缺點，影響個人和專業生活。壞心情影響我們的決策，阻礙長期的成功。儘管痛苦可以是有效的教師，但如果我們能夠明智地利用它，技術可以是寶貴的工具。

動機不僅僅是感覺良好。將積極性連接到我們的核心價值觀和信念將驅使我們克服挑戰並實現我們的目標。

總的來說，積極可能並不能解決所有的問題，但可以讓我們有能力有效地應對生活的挑戰。從固定的心態轉變為通過經驗和挑戰發展出來的成長心態，可以幫助創造一個充實的生活。

What Money Cannot Buy

"Money isn't everything, but everything needs money," my mother would often say when I was a child. How true is this adage? This principle served as the bedrock of my financial education, imparted to me by my mother. As a youngster, I didn't fully understand its depth, but as I grew older, the wisdom in her words became clear.

I graduated from university about a decade ago and landed my first job. Receiving my first paycheck was exhilarating, particularly because I had worked diligently to earn it. At that moment, I felt as though I had enough money, even if it wasn't a large sum. This was the first and last time I ever felt that way; my expenses soon escalated, and the feeling of financial sufficiency evaporated. I came to realize that receiving a paycheck was more gratifying than the daily grind of work.

Every job change brought a pay increase and naturally, I adjusted my lifestyle to match my growing income. I used to share a small, cramped room with my parents in Hong Kong. Eager for independence, I moved into a rented condo. This new lifestyle came at a cost, diminishing my ability to save money. Additionally, I splurged on a fine car—a blue Mini Cooper. Though small, it was mighty, and I loved it dearly. I cherished it as a companion in my life.

I met my partner approximately five years ago, and I was instantly smitten. She was not flawless, but she was stunning in my eyes. I couldn't stop thinking about her from the moment we met. I still remember the first time I drove to her house to pick her up. "Wow, your car is really lovely," she exclaimed. Those words made all my expenditures seem worth it.

As a reasonably successful software developer, I supported my parents with a monthly stipend and lived comfortably. However, having a girlfriend doubled my expenses. Fine dining and extravagant gifts, especially designer handbags, became the norm. These luxurious items ate into several months of my salary, confirming my mother's saying: "Money isn't everything, but everything needs money."

Two years into our relationship, talk of marriage began to surface. My girlfriend's expectations began to change; she became more focused and resolute. I didn't have significant savings, but she reassured me, saying, "It doesn't matter, we can start saving for our future today." Despite her gentle demeanor, she became increasingly controlling, pressuring me to save.

Faced with the high costs of car ownership, I had to make a choice: my car or my future wife. I chose the latter and sold my beloved car to save money. It was a heart-wrenching decision, but it revealed the extent of my love for her.

Now, without my car, I've been saving by cutting down on non-essential expenses. Sadly, this also meant discontinuing the monthly financial support to my parents, a decision that weighed heavily on my conscience. Once again, my mother's words echoed in my mind: "Money isn't everything, but it's necessary for everything." Money can buy a car, designer handbags, and even an engagement ring, but it cannot buy love.

What Money Cannot Buy

Hello everyone, and welcome to Continuous Improvement, the podcast dedicated to personal growth, financial well-being, and living a fulfilled life. I'm your host, Victor, and today we're diving into the age-old saying, "Money isn't everything, but everything needs money." It's a phrase my mother used to tell me when I was younger, and it holds so much truth.

As a young adult, receiving my first paycheck was an exciting moment. I felt like I had enough money, even if it wasn't a huge sum. But, as I soon realized, expenses tend to creep up on you. With each job change and pay increase, my lifestyle adjusted accordingly. I upgraded from a cramped room to a rented condo and splurged on a beautiful car, a blue Mini Cooper. Those expenses seemed worth it, especially when I met my partner.

Meeting my partner changed everything. Her compliments about my car made me feel on top of the world. But relationships come with their own costs. Fine dining and lavish gifts became the norm, draining my savings even further. It hit me hard that my mother was right; everything needs money, even love.

Two years into our relationship, talk of marriage crept in. It was then that my girlfriend's expectations shifted, and she became more focused on our future together. I didn't have significant savings, but she reassured me that we could start saving right away. Her determination and gentle encouragement made me realize that sacrifices were necessary.

The cost of owning my car became a deciding factor. I had to make a difficult choice: my car or my future wife. In the end, love triumphed, and I sold my beloved car to save for our future. It wasn't an easy decision, but it showed the depth of my love for her.

Living without my car meant making sacrifices and cutting down on non-essential expenses. Sadly, it also meant discontinuing the monthly financial support to my parents, a decision that weighed heavily on my conscience. Once again, my mother's words echoed in my mind: "Money isn't everything, but it's necessary for everything." Money can buy us material things, but it can't buy love.

As I reflect on my journey so far, I've come to realize that continuous improvement isn't just about financial growth. It's about finding balance, making choices aligned with your values, and understanding that money is a tool to help us achieve our goals, but it shouldn't define our happiness.

And that's it for today's episode of Continuous Improvement. I hope you enjoyed our discussion on the saying, "Money isn't everything, but everything needs money." Remember, strive for financial well-being, but also prioritize what truly matters in life. Join me next time for another thought-provoking topic that will inspire you on your journey towards personal growth and fulfillment.

If you have any questions or want to share your own experiences, feel free to reach out to me on social media. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram @VictorCI. Until next time, keep improving and live a life that truly matters.

錢不能買到的東西

"錢不是萬能的，但沒錢萬萬不能，"我母親在我小時候經常這麼說。這句格言有多麼正確呢？這個原則是我母親傳授給我的財務教育的基石。作為一個年輕人，我並未全然理解其深度，但隨著我年紀的增長，她話語中的智慧變得清晰。

大約十年前，我從大學畢業，並找到了我的第一份工作。收到我的第一份薪水絕對是令人興奮的，特別是因為我一直努力工作以賺取它。那一刻，我覺得我有足夠的錢，即使它不是一大筆錢。這是我有史以來唯一一次有這種感覺；我的花費很快就上升了，並且有足夠的財務感覺消失了。我意識到，收到薪水比每天的工作更令人滿足。

每次工作變動都會帶來薪資的提高，自然地，我根據我不斷增長的收入調整我的生活方式。我曾和我的父母在香港共享一個狹小的，擁擠的房間。渴望獨立，我搬進了租來的公寓。這種新的生活方式帶來了成本，削弱了我儲蓄金錢的能力。此外，我還揮霍了一輛好車 - 一輛藍色的Mini Cooper。雖然它小，但它強大，我非常喜歡。我視它為生活中的侶伴。

大約五年前，我遇到了我的伴侶，我立即被她迷住了。她並不完美，但在我眼中她非常迷人。從我們見面的那一刻起，我就無法停止想念她。我仍然記得第一次我開車去她家接她的時候。「哇，你的車真好看啊，」她驚嘆道。這句話使我所有的支出都變得值得。

作為一個相當成功的軟件開發人員，我每月為我的父母提供津貼，並且舒適地生活。然而，有女朋友讓我的開銷翻了一番。精緻的晚餐和奢華的禮物, 尤其是名牌手袋, 已經成了常態。這些奢侈品消耗了我幾個月的薪水，證實了我母親的話：「錢不是所有，但所有需要錢。」

在我們的關係進行了兩年後，結婚的話題開始浮出水面。我女朋友的期望開始變化；她變得更加專注和堅決。我沒有太多的儲蓄，但她安慰我說：「沒關係，我們今天可以開始為我們的未來存錢。」儘管她的態度溫和，但她越來越控制，給我施加了壓力去存錢。

面對車主的高昂成本，我必須做出選擇：我的車還是我的未來妻子。我選擇了後者，賣掉了我心愛的車子以節約錢。這是一個令人心碎的決定，但它揭示了我對她的愛情的深度。

現在，沒有了我的車，我通過削減非必需的開銷而節省了錢。可悲的是，這也意味著我不再每月給我父母提供財務支援，這個決定讓我良心十分不安。再次，我母親的話在我腦海中迴響：「錢不是萬能的，但是萬萬不能沒有它。」錢可以買車子，名牌手袋，甚至是訂婚戒指，但它不能買愛情。

Stay Curious

Curiosity awakens our minds. Being inquisitive, I always seek to learn and understand more. The world is enormous and constantly evolving. To keep up with these changes, staying curious is essential; otherwise, I risk becoming obsolete.

It's crucial to cultivate an interest in the realm of possibilities rather than merely believing what I see in the news. Often, my intuition is incorrect, and I need to be aware of that.

A closed attitude can lead to unhappiness. We should examine our behavior objectively, much like a scientist observing a petri dish from a distance. This mindset allows us to treat life as a laboratory—a place where we feel safe to experiment and believe that anything is possible.

Following curiosity enriches my love for creativity and innovation. New experiences invigorate me, and I am eager to explore fresh ideas. As a leader, my strengths lie in leading through vision and concepts. I am determined yet open to considering better solutions.

I believe in being brave and daring but not reckless. Taking risks and making mistakes are part of the process. Over time, this approach refines our decision-making skills and helps us learn from our errors.

Curiosity not only alters our self-perception but also influences how others view us. It encourages an open-minded, innovative, and adventurous spirit. It fosters a team and family atmosphere where everyone feels empowered to contribute.

Being curious has a broader social benefit—it opens us up to various viewpoints and reduces conflict. Experimentation is essential. Without it, we'll never understand what truly works.

Innovation and failure are closely related. Curiosity does come at a cost, but the benefits in personal and professional growth make it worthwhile.

Barriers to staying curious can range from excessive insecurity to a bloated ego. Both of these hinder our growth and can be mitigated by self-awareness and an open mindset.

Lifelong curiosity is essential. One way to foster this is by continuously applying what we've learned to real-world scenarios. Negative experiences are powerful teachers but should be used sparingly.

In conclusion, to adapt and grow, we need to think like both a computer and a learning organism—actively engaging with our environment and evolving based on feedback and experimentation. Teaching is one of the most effective ways to learn. It requires not only subject matter expertise but also the skill to convey it effectively to others. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know, fueling my curiosity even further.

Stay Curious

Welcome to Continuous Improvement, the podcast where we explore the power of curiosity, growth, and innovation. I'm your host, Victor, and I'm excited to embark on this journey of lifelong learning with you.

Today, we're diving into the captivating world of curiosity. As Albert Einstein once said, "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." And that curiosity is what propels us forward, enabling us to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.

In our blog post, we discovered that curiosity awakens our minds. It keeps us from becoming stagnant and obsolete. It encourages us to question, to seek knowledge beyond what we see in the news. Our intuition may be faulty at times, and being open to learning helps us overcome those biases.

Imagine life as a laboratory, where we experiment, transparently examining our behaviors just as a scientist observes a petri dish. This mindset creates a safe space for growth and allows us to tap into our creativity and embrace innovation.

Through curiosity, we develop a love for new experiences and ideas. It enriches our ability to envision different possibilities and fuels our passion for leadership and conceptual thinking. We're not afraid of taking risks or making mistakes; we see them as necessary stepping stones towards growth.

But it's not just about personal growth; curiosity also fosters an atmosphere of collaboration and empowerment. It invites diverse perspectives, reduces conflicts, and inspires others to embrace a spirit of open-mindedness and adventure.

However, staying curious can sometimes be challenging. Insecurities and bloated egos can act as barriers, hindering our growth. That's where self-awareness and an open mindset become invaluable tools to break down those barriers and embrace lifelong curiosity.

And as our blog post discussed, curiosity has broader social implications. It encourages experimentation, helping us understand what truly works. It pushes us to innovate, all while teaching us valuable lessons from failures along the way.

Lifelong curiosity requires continuous learning and application. It's not just about acquiring knowledge but also about using it in real-world scenarios. Negative experiences can be powerful teachers, but they must be balanced with positive experiences that motivate and inspire us to keep exploring.

As we explore the depths of curiosity in this podcast, we'll invite experts to share their insights, personal stories, and practical tips for staying curious. After all, teaching is one of the most effective ways to learn, and we're here to learn together.

So, whether you're an aspiring innovator, a lifelong learner, or simply someone who craves growth and improvement, join me on this journey as we embrace curiosity, challenge our assumptions, and unlock the limitless potential within ourselves.

Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Continuous Improvement. Stay curious, my friends, and remember, the more we learn, the more we realize how much there is to discover.

保持好奇

好奇能喚醒我們的思考。作為一個好奇的人，我總是努力學習和理解更多。世界是如此巨大且不斷變化，我們要跟上這些變化，就必須保持好奇，否則我們就有可能被淘汰。

提升對可能性範疇的興趣至關重要，而不僅僅是相信新聞中看到的內容。往往，我的直覺是錯誤的，我需要清楚這一點。

封閉的態度可能導致不快樂。我們應該像科學家從一定距離觀察培養皿一樣，客觀地審視自己的行為。這種思維方式讓我們把生活視為一間實驗室 —— 一個我們覺得可以進行實驗、相信一切皆有可能的地方。

我的好奇心使我對創新和創意更加熱愛。新的體驗使我充滿活力，我熱衷於探索新的想法。作為一個領導者，我優秀之處在於通過願景和概念引導團隊。我既有決心，也願意尋找更佳的解決方案。

我相信我們應該要勇敢且大膽，但不能魯莽。冒險和犯錯是過程的一部分。隨著時間的推移，這種方法能磨煉我們的決策能力並幫助我們從錯誤中學習。

好奇心不僅改變我們自身的認知，也影響他人對我們的看法。它鼓勵我們有開放，創新和冒險的精神。這種精神也能夠培養出一種團隊和家庭的氣氛，讓每個人都感覺有能力做出貢獻。

保持好奇還有更廣泛的社會效益——我們更能接受不同的觀點，從而減少衝突。實驗是必不可少的。如果沒有實驗，我們就無法理解真正有效的方法。

創新和失敗密切相關。好奇心確實需要付出代價，但個人和專業成長中所帶來的收益使之變得物有所值。

阻礙保持好奇的障礙可能包括過度的不安全感和自大的自我。兩者都會阻礙我們的成長，但可以通過自我覺察和開放的態度來緩解。

終身的好奇心是必需的。培養這種好奇心的一種方式是不斷將我們學到的知識應用到現實生活中。壞的經驗可以成為強大的老師，但應該少用。

結論是，要適應和成長，我們需要如同電腦和學習生物一樣思考，主動與環境互動，並根據反饋和實驗進化。教學是學習的有效方法之一。這需要不僅是主題專業知識，而且還需要有效地將其傳達給他人的技巧。我學到的越多，我就越知道我所不知道的東西，這使我的好奇心更加旺盛。

Becoming a Better Leader

Becoming a better leader is critical for success. Leadership isn't just about money, strategy, or technology; teamwork remains the ultimate competitive advantage. With effective leadership, we can align our organization and outperform any industry, market, or competitor.

We all know this, but achieving it can seem daunting. Team dysfunction is common because teams are composed of fallible human beings. As leaders, it's our job to cultivate teamwork, making our team members feel valued, respected, and important. Leadership development includes rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty. We need to:

  • Face challenges courageously
  • Foster an innovative spirit
  • Understand how our values contribute to society
  • Strive for self-sufficiency

From an evolutionary standpoint, we all want to feel like a vital part of the group.

In leadership, recognizing the bigger picture and structuring solutions effectively are key. We excel when leading through vision and ideas. We're always open to better solutions and need time to weigh alternatives. New experiences energize us, and we love exploring fresh ideas. By seeking out various leaders for coaching and comparing different leadership styles, we can adapt lessons from diverse fields.

Instead of thinking of ourselves as bosses, we should aspire to be leaders. The differences are stark:

  • Boss: Motivates through authority, instills fear, uses "I," takes credit, and commands.
  • Leader: Trains others, relies on goodwill, uses "we," shares credit, and requests.

Great leadership enriches lives and helps us achieve collective goals. It involves earning credibility through transparency, inclusiveness, and a willingness to ask for help. A good leader not only thrives within a team but also positively impacts the broader community. By adapting our leadership style to different individuals and challenges, we can effectively harness internal and external resources.

Teams require different skills at different times to address diverse problems. Therefore, we must continually develop our leadership capabilities. Society urgently needs bolder and more devoted leaders, not managers who instill fear.

Here are specific techniques to further our leadership goals:

  • Prioritize fairness over reciprocity
  • Acknowledge both achievements and failures
  • Empathize with those in need
  • Be open to change
  • Commit to lifelong learning and development

As team leaders, it’s crucial to select individuals with complementary skills and perspectives. To influence those outside our immediate team, we must rely on persuasion rather than authority. Building a strong external reputation will increase our chances for future opportunities.

A common obstacle is prioritizing personal interests over the team's. Overcoming this means thinking long-term and putting the team's needs above our own. Another barrier is the fear of public speaking, which we can address by practicing and focusing on the positive impact we can make.

The key performance indicators are the best metrics to track our progress. Understanding what motivates team members, either intrinsically or extrinsically, is vital. We should regularly reflect on our actions, set clear goals for our team, and offer consistent feedback. It's also important to manage upward by cultivating a genuine relationship with our superiors.

To be exceptional leaders, we must deepen our self-awareness, recognizing both our strengths and weaknesses, and understand how to collaborate effectively with others.

Becoming a Better Leader

Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of "Continuous Improvement." I'm your host, Victor, and today we're diving into the topic of leadership. Becoming a better leader is essential for success in any role, industry, or organization. It's not just about money, strategy, or technology. The ultimate competitive advantage lies in effective teamwork. So, let's explore how we can cultivate leadership skills and create high-performing teams.

Team dysfunction is common because teams are comprised of fallible human beings. As leaders, it's our responsibility to foster an environment where team members feel valued, respected, and important. This means facing challenges courageously, fostering an innovative spirit, and understanding how our values contribute to society. It's about striving for self-sufficiency and recognizing the bigger picture.

Great leadership goes beyond being a boss. It involves earning credibility through transparency, inclusiveness, and a willingness to ask for help. By adapting our leadership style to different individuals and challenges, we can effectively harness both internal and external resources. But how do we go from being a boss to being a leader?

It starts by prioritizing fairness over reciprocity and acknowledging both achievements and failures. Empathy plays a crucial role in leadership, as we need to understand and support those in need. Being open to change and committing to lifelong learning are also essential. As leaders, we must always strive to develop and improve ourselves.

Building a strong external reputation is another key aspect of leadership. To influence those outside our immediate team, we need to rely on persuasion rather than authority. By immersing ourselves in diverse leadership experiences and learning from leaders in various fields, we can broaden our perspectives and adapt their valuable lessons.

Overcoming obstacles in leadership requires a long-term mindset. It means prioritizing the team's needs above our own personal interests. Additionally, addressing the fear of public speaking is crucial. By practicing and focusing on the positive impact we can make, we can overcome this fear and become more effective communicators.

So, how do we track our progress as leaders? Key performance indicators are the best metrics to measure our growth. Understanding what motivates our team members, whether intrinsically or extrinsically, is vital. Regular reflection, setting clear goals for our team, and providing consistent feedback are essential practices for continuous improvement.

To be exceptional leaders, we need self-awareness. We must recognize both our strengths and weaknesses and understand how to collaborate effectively with others. It's not just about leading within our team; it's about positively impacting the broader community. Society needs bold and devoted leaders who inspire and create positive change.

That's it for today's episode of "Continuous Improvement." I hope you found some valuable insights and actionable strategies to become a better leader. Remember, leadership is a journey of continuous growth and development. Join me for the next episode where we'll explore another exciting topic related to personal and professional growth. Until then, keep striving for improvement. This is Victor signing off.

成為一個更好的領導者

變得更好的領導者對成功來說是至關重要的。領導力不只是關於金錢、策略或技術；團隊合作仍是至高無上的競爭優勢。有了有效的領導力，我們可以組織我們的組織並超越任何產業、市場或競爭對手。

我們都知道這點，但實現它似乎令人生畏。團隊功能失調是常見的，因為團隊是由有缺點的人類組成的。作為領導者，我們的工作就是培養團隊合作，讓我們的團隊成員感到有價值、受到尊重和重要。領導力的發展包括卷起袖子，親自下手。我們需要：

  • 勇敢面對挑戰
  • 培養創新精神
  • 了解我們的價值觀如何促進社會進步
  • 追求自給自足

從進化的角度來看，我們都希望感覺自己是群體中不可或缺的一部分。

在領導層面上，認識到更大的圖像並有效地結構解決方案是關鍵。當我們透過願景與理念引領時，我們表現優異。我們始終對更好的解決方案持開放態度，需要時間來衡量各種替代方案。新的經驗使我們充滿活力，我們熱愛探索新鮮的想法。通過尋求不同的領導者進行指導並比較不同的領導風格，我們可以從多元的領域中學習經驗。

我們應該把自己視為領導者，而不是老闆。兩者的區別很大：

  • 老闆：通過權威激勵，創造恐懼，使用“我”，搶功，和命令。
  • 領導者：訓練他人，依賴善意，使用“我們”，分享成就，和提出請求。

偉大的領導力會豐富生活並幫助我們實現集體目標。這牽涉到通過透明度、包容性和樂於尋求幫助而贏得公信力。一個好的領導者不僅能在團隊內茁壯成長，還能對更廣大的社區產生積極的影響。通過將我們的領導風格適應於不同的個體和挑戰，我們可以有效地利用內外部資源。

團隊在不同的時候需要不同的技能來解決多樣化的問題。因此，我們必須不斷地發展我們的領導能力。社會迫切需要更加果敢和更加投入的領導者，而不是創造恐懼的經理人。

以下是一些具體的技巧，以進一步實現我們的領導目標：

  • 優先考慮公平而非回報
  • 承認成就和失敗
  • 對需要幫助的人表示同情
  • 採取開放的態度接受變化
  • 承諾進行終身學習與發展

作為團隊領導者，挑選具有互補技能和觀點的個人至關重要。要影響我們的直接團隊以外的人，我們必須依賴說服而非權威。打造強大的外部聲譽會提高我們未來獲得機會的機會。

一個常見的障礙是將個人興趣置於團隊的利益之上。克服這種狀況意味著要長遠地思考，並將團隊的需要置於我們自身利益之上。另一個障礙是公開演講的恐懼，我們可以通過操練並專注於我們可以產生的積極影響來解決這個問題。

主要績效指標是追蹤我們進步的最佳指標。了解激勵團隊成員的因素，無論是內在的還是外在的，都是至關重要的。我們應該定期反思我們的行為，為我們的團隊設定明確的目標，並提供一致的反饋。同時，積極向上管理，與我們的上級建立真誠的關係也很重要。

要成為卓越的領導者，我們必須加深我們的自我意識，認識到我們的優點和弱點，並了解如何有效地與他人合作。
