每家公司都有3种人：领袖、囚徒和过客

    领袖。领袖和过客或者囚徒完全不同。领袖想到这里来，他们总是在寻找改变局面的机会。他们把注意力放在帮助和指导别人上，而不仅仅是自己可以得到什么。他们肩负起所有责任，因为他们乐于看到工作有效地得到开展，而且总是准备去承担更多的责任。他们喜欢创造性地解决问题，而且欢迎别人提出建议。领袖会为了自己的目标，为了公司的目标以及为了支持别人的目标而“向前多迈一步”。他们是乐观主义者，他们看到的杯子是满了一半，而不是空了一半。他们相信自己和自己的价值，因此他们能够轻松地留下空间来听取别人的意见，提供自己的建议，或者伸出援手。他们不会为自己证明什么，相反，他们有远见，他们会问：“我想知道，如果真的把心思花在这上面，我们能取得什么样的成果？”领袖散发出的正能量具有吸引力……因此，许多人都效仿他们，采用和他们一样的积极风格，这也是情理之中的事。

    那么，现在大家可以问问自己：

    • 以前，我在什么时候表现得像个囚徒？

    • 又在什么时候表现得像个过客？

    • 以后，我要怎样做才能成为每天都全力以赴的领袖、改变每一个和我接触的人？

    • 如果有意识地担当领袖成了我生活、思考和行动的自然状态，那会是什么感觉？

    大家甚至可以考虑写一张便签，把它贴在自己工作的地方，让自己每天都和它相对，便签上就这样写：

    • 囚徒？

    • 过客？

    • 领袖？

    现在，琢磨一下这三种生存状态，这就能有力地为你指明生活的方向。如果你发现自己的行为像个过客或者像个囚徒，别担心。只要记住你的立场是当一位领袖、同时以这样的姿态重新开始就行了。我们到这里来不是为了展示完美。我们到这里来是为了取得进步。

    现实很简单：在我们的生活经历中，我们在大多数时间里都带着这三副眼镜中的某一副。试着在30天时间里通过“领袖的眼镜”来看这个世界。我向你保证，你就再也不想以过客者囚徒的身份来审视自己的生活了。用这三种风格中的任何一种都可以引领别人，但只有一种能改变这个世界。你会选择哪一副眼镜呢？（财富中文网）

    Leaders. Leaders are nothing like vacationers or prisoners. Leaders want to be here and they are constantly scanning the radar for opportunities to make a difference. They focus on helping and guiding others instead of merely on what they can get for themselves. They vacuum up responsibility because they enjoy seeing things happen in effective ways and are always ready to take on more. The love the creativity of problem solving and welcome the ideas of others. Leaders “go the extra mile” for their own objectives, for the corporation’s objectives and in support of other’s objectives. They are optimists who see the glass as half-full rather then half-empty. Leaders trust themselves and their own worth, so they can easily make space to listen to others, offer suggestions, lend a helping hand. They have nothing to prove about themselves; rather they are visionaries who ask “I wonder what WE could achieve if we really put our minds to it?” Leaders exude a positive energy that is attractive…and thus it is not surprise that lots of people will copy them and replicate their positive style.

    So you could ask yourself now:

    • In the past, when have I behaved as a Prisoner?

    • And when have I behaved as a Vacationer?

    • And, in future, how can I show up every day as a fully-engaged Leader and make a difference for everyone I contact?

    • And what is it going to feel like when acting as a conscious leader becomes my natural way of being, thinking and acting?

    You may even consider making a sticker like this and putting it at your work space where you can see it every day:

    • Prisoner?

    • Vacationer?

    • Leader?

    Just reflecting on these three basic ways of being, in the moment, can act as a powerful compass in your life. And, if you caught yourself acting as a vacationer or prisoner, don’t worry. Just remember your stand to be a leader and start again from that position. We aren’t here to be perfect. We are here to make progress.

    The reality is simple: most of our life is experienced through one of these three lenses. Try consciously seeing the world through “Leader Glasses” for 30 days and I assure you, you will never want to view life as a Vacationer or Prisoner again. All three are leadership styles, but only one is going to make a difference in the world. Which glasses will you choose?
