名校勵志英語演講 第188期:一切皆有可能(10)

[00:00.22]There was a time in my Avon career when I was passed over for a promotion to be the CEO. 在雅芳我曾經(jīng)錯過了一次晉升為首席執(zhí)行官的機(jī)會， [00:06.33]I had a job offer to be the head of another company, but a woman I respected gave me some good advice. 那時我可以成為另一家公司的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。但一位令我尊重的女性給我提了一些很好的建議。 [00:14.41]She told me always to follow my heart, not my head. 他讓我聽從內(nèi)心的選擇，而不是頭腦的。 [00:18.44]So I followed my heart and stayed at Avon. 于是我聽從了內(nèi)心留在雅芳。 [00:21.28]In the end, I got the promotion, but most important, I have always loved my work, and that has made all the difference. 最終，我獲得了晉升，但重要的是，我始終熱愛的我的工作，這才是最主要的。 [00:31.23]The next distinguishing quality of leadership is Compassion—caring about people. 領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的第二個特質(zhì)就是有同情心；關(guān)心別人。 [00:36.49]In my four years as CEO at Avon, I've had to make some tough decisions and difficult calls -eliminating jobs and closing factories. 我在雅芳人首席執(zhí)行官的四年里，有時不得不做出一些艱難的決定和通知，例如取消某個職位或關(guān)閉某個工廠。 [00:47.55]Actions that affect good people. The horrible part of the job. 這些都會傷害一些無辜的員工，這也是工作中殘忍的一面。 [00:52.54]But I believe we demonstrate compassion and treat people fairly, with respect and dignity during those tough decisions. 但我相信在做這些決定時我們表現(xiàn)出了同情心和公平性，以及對他人尊嚴(yán)的尊重。 [01:00.52]And it is the responsibility for those of us wanting the privilege of being tomorrow's corporate leaders to honor the commitment 盡管面臨商界的壓力和要求，但那些希望成為明天企業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的人 [01:09.29]to compassion and the protection of the human spirit, in spite of the pressures and demands of business today. 有責(zé)任懷有對人類的同情心，有責(zé)任呵護(hù)他人的心靈。 [01:17.51]Along with compassion comes Humility. Many people are surprised to learn this is one of Avon's core values. 作為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，除了要有同情心，謙卑心也非常重要。許多人在得知這是雅芳的核心價值觀之一時感到很驚訝。 [01:24.40]None of us has all the answers. And all of us must listen to each other, because listening makes us stronger. 我們沒有人能回答所有問題。我們必須相互傾聽，因為傾聽讓我們更強大。
