7、e themselves to be the leaders of tomorrow. In fact, over my career, I have come to believe that there are indeed some very special qualities that distinguish all leaders and help them stand out in todayscompetitive arena. First is Passion. You have to love the work you do. You have to be excited to

8、 come to work every day. They taught us the fourp rinciples of marketing when I went to school: Product, Price, Place, Promotion. But they didn t teach us the fifth, most收集于網(wǎng)絡(luò)，如有侵權(quán)請(qǐng)聯(lián)系管理員刪除精品文檔critical principle which as far as I m concerned is Passion, the key to being trulysuccessful as a leader ov

9、er the long run. No matter what career path you choose, I believe you have to love what you do. My own personal experience proves this point. There was a time in my Avon career when I was passed over for a promotion to be the CEO. I had a job offer to be the head of another company, but a woman I re

10、spected gave me some good advice. She told me always to follow my heart, not my head. So I followed my heart and stayed at Avon. In the end, I got the promotion, but most important, I have always loved my work, and that has made all the difference. The next distinguishing quality of leadership is Co

11、mpassion caring about people. In my four years as CEO at Avon, I ve had to make some tough decisions anddifficult calls eliminating jobs and closing factories. Actions that affect good people. The horrible part of the job. But I believe we demonstrate compassion and treat people fairly, with respect

12、 andd ignity during those tough decisions. And it is the responsibility for those of us wanting the privilege of being tomorrow s corporate leaders to honor the commitment to compassion and the protection of the human spirit, in spite of the pressures and demands of business today. Along with compas

13、sion comes Humility. Many people are surprised to learn this is one of Avon cores values. None of us has all the answers. And all of us must listen to each other, because listening makes us stronger. One of the things I ve learneabout myself is that I tend to be impatient in solving problems. Instea

14、d of listening to the opinions of others, I try right away to find solutions. I have had to learn that other people can give me valuable input and that listening makes me a better leader. To be a better listener, I now bring employees from all over the world including Chinato New York City four time

15、s a year to hear their suggestions for how to improve our business. I meet with them for a full day and spend most of my time listening. This is one of the most important things I do. Balance is another essential leadershiqp uality in today s complex world, and itquality that is especially critical

16、for women who are juggling many and sometimes competing roles. As a working mother with two childrenmy daughter Lauren is 14 and my son Jamie is 6I constantly struggle with the issue of balance. People always ask me how I do it, and my answer isit s never easy to balance work and family. I ll give y

17、ou an example. I belong to eaxne cutive committee of CEOs from the business world. Recently we were invited to Washington for a meeting with the President of the United States. This was very exciting to me. What ain credible opportunity. The only problem was, the meeting occurred at the same time as

18、 my收集于網(wǎng)絡(luò)，如有侵權(quán)請(qǐng)聯(lián)系管理員刪除精品文檔daughter s first big trip away from home. It was a big moment for her and her friendsto go on a multiple day trip and my daughter needed me to be there. What should I do? There was never a doubt in my mind. The president wouldn know if I was there or not. But my daughter wou

19、ld. So I went to the bus with her and I never looked back. It didn t affect Avon that I didn t go to the White House. But Ialso tell women that it is even all right if your job does sometimes come second to your personal priorities . Sometimes the job is more important. But sometimes your family has

20、 to be more important. There are two final qualities of distinguished leadership that I want to share with you today. These may be the most important qualities of all and how lucky we are that both are a fundamental part of our Chinese culture something we all learn from our parents virtually from t

21、he day we are born.First is Perseverance. I m talking about simple hard work ancdo mam itment to unexpected challenges come at you from all directions, with no end in sight.stay the course even when times are toug. hIn todayp facseet business environment,Sometimes I read articles about myself and my

22、 career path and it makes it sound so easy. But believe me, it hasn t been easy for a single day. I work far harder now than Iever have in my life. Ievme bhraadc eto constant change, and every time I think I vefinally mastered the situation a new challenge comes along I hadnanticipated . t ? There w

23、ill be many days when the challenges each of youc onfront will seem overwhelming . We all have those days; they go with thet erritory when you are trying to achieve something great.? Perseverance and hard work will see you through the tough times. My parents instilled these qualities in me and it ha

24、s made all the difference. Sometimes I watch young Americans quit when things are difficult, and I always advise them to try again and again and again. Never give up until you achieve your goal. That swhat distinguishest hose who make it to the top from those who didn t.? Hard work is essential but

25、all the hard work in the world wont take you anywhere unless you know where it is you want to go.? Thats why its so important to have a dream. This is the final important quality of leadership. Everything great that has ever happened in this world began with a dream. (1056 words)NEW WORDS收集于網(wǎng)絡(luò)，如有侵權(quán)請(qǐng)
