美国环境保护基金主席：先做梦，再行动

5.每位领导人都应具备的一项素质是什么？

聘用最优秀的人，听他们怎么说。当一个好的聆听者是成为一个杰出领导人的必要素质。

6.你的一生中希望实现的目标是什么？

我想推动立法，确保减少温室气体排放。我们需要给碳排放定价，确保减少气候污染，激励企业家构建新型低碳经济，因为这才是走向持续繁荣的唯一途径。

7.你最近看的一本书是什么？

丹尼尔•詹姆士•布朗写的《船中少年》(The Boys in the Boat）。这本书讲的是协作的力量。这正是人们在保护环境方面欠缺的东西，尽管我们都在同一条船上。

8.你在学校学到的最重要的东西是什么？

环境经济学和市场的力量。市场可以像磁铁一样将脑力和资本引向绿色解决方案。如果环境保护能带来经济效益，人们就会想出各种方式来实现它。

9.你的第一份工作是什么？

为康涅狄格州纽黑文市评估城市项目的环境影响。我记得写过一份非常精彩的备忘录。我的上司让我了解到为什么一种完全不同的方式(理解其他角度)更有可能产生效果。

10.你有什么爱好？

大多数早晨我都会早起去划船，而且一有机会就跃跃欲试要一比高低。划船是我们全家都喜爱的一项运动，它让我们有更多时间待在一起。（财富中文网）  

5. What is one characteristic that every leader should possess?

Hire the best people, then listen to what they say. Being a good listener is essential to good leadership.

6. What is one goal that you would like to accomplish during your lifetime?

I'd like to help create the law that guarantees reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We need to price carbon in a way that assures we reduce climate pollution and inspires entrepreneurs to build the new low-carbon economy, because that's the only route to lasting prosperity.

7. What was the last book you read?

The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. It speaks to the power of working together. That's something people often lack when it comes to protecting the environment, even though we're all in the same boat.

8. What was the most important thing you learned in school?

Environmental economics and the power of markets. Markets can act like a magnet to pull brainpower and capital toward green solutions. If you make environmental protection pay, people will invent all kinds of ways to make it happen.

9. What was your first job?

I worked for the City of New Haven, Conn., assessing the environmental impacts of city projects. I recall writing a really strong memo. My supervisor helped me see why a completely different approach, one that acknowledged other perspectives, was more likely to be effective.

10. What do you do for fun?

I get up early most mornings to row, and I admit it's a rush to row competitively when I get the chance. Rowing is a sport my whole family enjoys, so it gives us more time together.
