Are You a Successful Leader?
(1) Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation. At work or at play, you&39;ll find yourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with colleagues, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a day out walking in the mountains, a group of neighbors wanting to make changes. It is now recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys to success, partly because we need to do it so often.<br>
(2) In almost every situation where you&39;re in a group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated. Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmonies.<br>
(3) Some people are natural leaders. The celebrity chef, Antonio Carluccio says, "true leaders are born and you can spot them in kitchens." They&39;re people who combine toughness,fairness and humor. Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders,most people now recognize that leadership can also be taught. Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader. Good leaders don&39;t make people do things in a bossy, controlling way. You can learn how to involve everyone,encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.<br>
(4) Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader. Self-confidence is vital for you to overcome your own fears about being a leader. Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent. They need to be able to work out good strategies and make sound judgments under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive, sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people. Good leadership is essentially the ability to influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute.

听力原文:Man: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for attending this homecoming lecture. Let me say that it is not really a lecture but an informal discussion of my insights into the qualities of leadership.
Although a good leader needs to have many qualities, in my opinion there are 10 qualities, which are the most important.
The most important quality of a leader is to lead. This may sound simple but in reality many people in leadership positions fail to lead.
The world is constantly changing and any business needs to move with the times or risk losing ground. To lead means to make difficult decisions. These decisions include setting your own agenda for the organisation such as determining its core values and setting its strategic direction. Other decisions also include making tough decisions on professional, business and personnel matters.
No leader makes the right decision every time but a good leader is not afraid to make decisions because he is not afraid to reverse his decision and take remedial action where necessary. A bad leader is one who shies away from making decisions and simply wait for things to happen.
Secondly, a leader is expected to set the strategy for the organisation. How does a good leader choose the right strategy for his organisation? A good leader must develop a thorough analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the organisation. He must evaluate carefully the pros and cons of each alternative strategy. He should also consider the short-term as well as the long-term impact of each option. What I cannot over-emphasise is that a leader must adopt a strategy for his organisation He cannot simply copy others.
Thirdly, a key attribute of a good leader is to be able to communicate internally and externally. He must maintain a high level of visibility. Internally, the leader must communicate his strategy and vision to every member of the firm. Externally, the leader is the face of the organisation and must project a positive image for the organisation. He should act as the spokesman on important issues for the organisation.

Being a good leader in business is very much similar to being a good leader in public life or even in the army. Many of the qualities required are the same though, of course, a few qualities are quite special to leaders in business. First of all, however, a good leader in public life or in business mustn’t be frightened to make firm decisions. You must be able to arrive at quick decisions and act on them. It’s no good thinking too long about what to do nor is it much use, seeking else’s opinion. And it’s not very good to be cautious and careful about, everything. No good leader appears hesitant to his or her subordinates. Good leaders know exactly what to do they always give the impression of being absolutely convinced about the correctness of their decisions and their subsequent actions. There’s no doubt in their mind about what they should do and, as a result, people find it easy to believe in them and to follow them They know they are right.
So far what I have said will seem obvious. But what may not be so obvious is that some business leaders actually, create their own crises to give them an excuse or an opportunity, shall we say to control things. As a result they are able to act in a more authoritarian way and have direct control over a situation. Surprising as this may sound, it’s true. A crisis may not always be deliberately caused by any conscious decision or action, of course. Often good leaders are intuitively able to create such crises. Or possibly the crises arise since a good leader is invariably someone with strong opinions and firmly held beliefs.
Good leaders are not necessarily bad people in any way. Above all, they are reliable. And they are consistent in their actions. They don’t change their minds easily and they keep their promises and agreements.
As I’ve just implied, good leaders know precisely what they want to achieve. They have clear goals policies which they are determined to pursue at all costs. And also their messages are usually quite simple and clear, which everyone under them can understand and try to follow.
Above all, good leaders are always good communicators whether in business or in public life. As I’ve just said their message is generally simple. But even when it’s rather complex and hard for some people to understand, a good leader knows instinctively how to communicate it with great ease and clarity. He or she will appeal to people’s emotions just as much as to their intellects. Good leaders can persuade others to do what they want by winning people’s hearts and minds. Ambitious leaders in particular play on people’s emotions. Sometimes a sense of humor will help in communicating a message.
A lot of leaders lead by example. They are persuasive but they also provide examples and, in many cases, role models for colleagues and subordinates to follow.
Almost all leaders know how to delegate their authority. They are able to identify the kind of people to act for them and carry out their policies. If they are in business, these subordinates are trusted to deal with all the small, but important policy details and the day-to-day running of offices and factories. Letting subordinates deal with everyday matters enables the leader to be free to concentrate on issues that are important.
There’s also the question of luck. Great leaders are invariably very lucky or perhaps they make their own luck. For example, a good leader seems to be in the right place at the right time. Whenever there is a crisis, the leader is there, ready to act just when needed.
I’ll stop at this point but I’ll set you a good exercise to do. Think carefully about the qualities
A.hesitant
B.decisive
C.cautious

Do You Have a Sense of Humor?
Humor and laughter are good for us. There is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In fact, every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive, healing way. So how can we get more laughter into our lives? __________(46) Psychologist and author, Steve Wilson, has some answers.<br>
Many people believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think, "Either you&39;ve got it,or you don&39;t." Dr. Wilson points out that this is false.__________ (47)<br>
The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth. __________(48) (After all, when a baby laughs, we don&39;t rush over and say, "That kid has a great sense of humor!") A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.<br>
Sometimes people think that they don&39;t have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. Dr. Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to express humor.<br>
__________ (49) Then we will make others laugh, too.<br>
A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life.<br>
One of the best definitions of a sense of humor is "the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation." Consider this sign from a store window. "Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replaced with merchandise of equal quality." The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store&39;s excellent service. __________(50) As Dr. Wilson says,"A good sense of humor means that you don&39;t have to be funny, you just have to see what&39;s funny."
