3、me we elect a President we hope for one,especially in times of doubt andcrisis.In easy times we are ambivalent-the leader,after all,makes demands,challenges the status quo,shakes things up.Leadership is as much a question of timing asanything else.The leader must appear on the scene at a moment when
4、 people arelooking for leadership,as Churchill did in 1940,as Rooseveltdid in 1933,as Lenin in 1917.And when he comes,he must offer a simple,eloquent message.Great leaders are almost always greatsimplifiers,who cut through argument,debate and doubt to offer a solutioneverybody can understand and rem
5、ember.Churchill warned the British to expectblood,toil,tears and sweat,FDR told Americans thattheonly thing we have to fear is fear itself;Lenin promised the war-wearyRussians peace,land and bread.Straightforward but potent messages.It also helps for a leader to be able to dosomething most of us can
6、t:FDR overcame polio;Mao swam the Y angtse Riverat the age of 72.We dont want our leaders to bejust like us.Wewant them to be like us but better,special,more so.Yet if they are toodifferent,we reject them.Adlai Stevenson was too cerebral.Nelson Rockfeller,too rich.A leader must know how to use power
7、(thatswhat leadership is about)but he also has to have way of showing that he does.He has to be able to project firmness-no physical clumsiness(like Ford),norapid eye movement(like Carter).A Chinese philosopher once remarked that aleader must have the grace of a good dancer,and there is a great deal
8、 ofwisdom to this.A leader should know how to appear relaxed and confident.Hiswalk should be firm and purposeful.He should be able,like Lincoln,FDR,Truman,Ike and JFK,to give a good,hearty,belly laugh,instead of sicklygrin that passes for good humor in Nixon or Carter.Ronald Reagans training asan ac
9、tor showed to good effect in the debate with Carter,when by-最新资料推荐-3/15 his easymanner and apparent affability,he managed to convey the impression that infact he was the President and Carter the challenger.If we know what were looking for,why is itso difficult to find?The answer lies in a very simpl
10、e truth about leadership.People can only be led where they want to go.The leader follows,through astep ahead.Americans wanted to climb out of the Depression and needed someoneto tell them they could do it,and FDR did.The British believed that theycould still win the war after the defeats of 1940,and
11、 Churchill told them theywere right.A leader rides the waves,moves with thetides,understands the deepest desires of his people.He cannot make a nationthat wants peace at any price go to war,or stop a nation determined to fightfrom doing so.His purpose must match the national mood.His task is to focu
12、sthe peoples energies and desires,to define them in simple terms,to inspire,to make what people already want seem attainable,important,within theirgrasp.Above all,he must dignify our desires,convince us that we are taking part in the making of great history,give us asense of glory about ourselves.Wi
13、nston Churchill managed,by sheer rhetoric,to turn the British defeat and the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940 into a major victory.FDRswords turned the sinking of the American fleet at Pearl Harbourinto a national rallying cry instead of a humiliating national scandal.Aleader must stir our blood,not ap
14、peal to our reason.For this reason,businessmen generally makepoor leaders.They tend to be pragmatists who think that once youve explainedwhy something makes sense,people will do it.But history shows the fallacy ofthis belief.When times get tough,people dont want to be told what wentwrong,or lectured
15、,or given a lot of complicated statistics and plans(likeCarters energy policy)they dont understand.They want to be moved,excited,inspired,consoled,uplifted-in short,led!A great leader must have a certain irrationalquality,a stubborn refusal to face facts,infectious optimism,the ability toconvince us
16、 that all is not lost even when were afraid it is.Confuciussuggested that,while the adviser of a great leader should be as cold as ice,the leader himself should have fire,a spark of divine madness.He wont come until were ready for him,forthe leader is like a mirror,reflecting back to us our own sens
17、e of purpose,putting into words our own dreams and hopes,transforming our needs and fearsinto coherent policies and programs.Our strength makes him strong;ourdetermination makes him determined;our courage-最新资料推荐-5/15 makes him a hero;he is,inthe final analysis,the symbol of the best in us,shaped by

40、 day care would not sowidespread today if parents,care takers found children had problems with it.Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out,and even ifthey were,the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.Thirdly,in the last decade,there have been a number o
41、f careful Americanstudies of children in day care,and they have uniformly reported that day carehad a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development.But teststhat have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enoughaccepted to settle the issue.But Bowlbys analysis rais
42、es the possibilitythat early day care has delayed effects.The possibility that such care mightlead to,say,more mental-最新资料推荐-11/15 illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only beexplored by the use of statistics.Whatever the long-term effects,parentssometimes find the immediate effects difficult t
