Temptation #1: Choosing Status over Results\u5173\u6ce8\u8eab\u4efd\u751a\u4e8e\u7ed3\u679c<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The most important principle that an executive must embrace is a desire to produce results. As obvious as this sounds, it is not universally practiced by the highest ranking executives in many companies. Many CEOs put something ahead of results on their list of priorities, and it represents the most dangerous of all the temptations: the desire to protect the status of their career. Temptation #2: Choosing Popularity over Accountability\u9009\u62e9\u53d7\u5458\u5de5\u6b22\u8fce\u800c\u4e0d\u613f\u8ba9\u5458\u5de5\u62c5\u8d23<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Even CEOs who resist the temptation to over focus on protecting their status sometimes fail. Why? Because they do not hold their direct reports accountable for delivering on the commitments that drive results. This happens because they succumb to a different temptation: the desire to be popular.<\/p>\n Temptation #3: Choosing Certainty over Clarity\u8ffd\u6c42\u786e\u5b9a\u6027\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u660e\u786e\u6027<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Even CEOs who resist the temptation to protect their status and to be popular with their direct reports sometimes fail. Why? Because even if they are willing to hold their direct reports accountable, they are often reluctant to do so because they don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair. That\u2019s because they haven\u2019t made it clear what those direct reports are accountable for doing. Why don\u2019t they make these things clear? Because they give in to yet another temptation: the need to make \u201ccorrect\u201d decisions, to achieve certainty.<\/p>\n Temptation #4: Choosing Harmony over Conflict\u8ffd\u6c42\u201c\u548c\u8c10\u201d\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u5efa\u8bbe\u6027\u7684\u51b2\u7a81<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Even CEOs who resist the temptation to protect their status, to be popular with their direct reports, and to make correct decisions sometimes fail because they don\u2019t feel comfortable with the decisions they make. That\u2019s because they haven\u2019t benefited from the best sources of information that are always available to them: their direct reports. Why not? Because they give in to the next temptation: the desire for harmony.<\/p>\n Temptation #5: Choosing Invulnerability over Trust\u9009\u62e9\u201c\u575a\u5f3a\u201d\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u4fe1\u4efb<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Even CEOs who resist the temptation to protect their status, to be popular with their direct reports, to make correct decisions, and to create harmony sometime fail. Why? Because even though they are willing to cultivate productive conflict, their people may not be willing to do so. Why not? Because the CEO gives in to the final temptation: the desire for invulnerability.<\/p>\n Overcoming The 5 Temptations \u89e3\u51b3\u4e4b\u9053<\/strong> Temptation #1: Choosing Status over Results\u5173\u6ce8\u8eab\u4efd\u751a\u4e8e\u7ed3\u679c<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong>Make results the most important measure of personal success, or step down from the job. The future of the company you lead is too important for customers, employees, and stockholders to hold it hostage to your ego.<\/p>\n Temptation #2: Choosing Popularity over Accountability\u9009\u62e9\u8ba9\u5458\u5de5\u559c\u6b22\u800c\u4e0d\u8ba9\u5458\u5de5\u62c5\u8d23<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em>Work for the long-term respect of your direct reports, not for their affection. Don\u2019t view them as a support group, but as key employees who must deliver on their commitments if the company is to produce predictable results. And remember, your people aren\u2019t going to like you anyway if they ultimately fail.<\/p>\n Temptation #3: Choosing Certainty over Clarity\u8ffd\u6c42\u786e\u5b9a\u6027\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u660e\u786e\u6027<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em>Make clarity more important than accuracy. Remember that your people will learn more if you take decisive action than if you always wait for more information. And if the decisions you make in the spirit of creating clarity turn out to be wrong when more information becomes available, change plans and explain why. It is your job to risk being wrong. The only real cost to you of being wrong is loss of pride. The cost to your company of not taking the risk of being wrong is paralysis.<\/p>\n Temptation #4: Choosing Harmony over Conflict\u8ffd\u6c42\u201c\u548c\u8c10\u201d\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u5efa\u8bbe\u6027\u7684\u51b2\u7a81<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em>Tolerate discord. Encourage your direct reports to air their ideological differences, and with passion. Tumultuous meetings are often signs of progress. Tame ones are often signs of leaving important issues of the table. Guard against personal attacks, but not to the point of stifling important interchanges of ideas.<\/p>\n Temptation #5: Choosing Invulnerability over Trust\u9009\u62e9\u201c\u575a\u5f3a\u201d\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u4fe1\u4efb<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em>Actively encourage your people to challenge your ideas. Trust them with your reputation and your ego. As a CEO, this is the greatest level of trust that you can give. They will return it with respect and honesty, and with a desire to be vulnerable among their peers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u672c\u6587\u6765\u81ea\u4e92\u8054\u7f51\uff0c\u7cfb\u300aThe Five Temptations of a CEO\u300b\u4e00\u4e66\u7684\u6838\u5fc3\u4e66\u6458\u3002 The 5 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[16,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-organizational-development-and-change","category-the-leadership-cornerstone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.softpowerworks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
