世界頂尖領導力專家的行動計畫

在21世紀動盪不安的經濟局勢下，企業領導力將是決定成敗的關鍵因素。
In the volatile economic environment of the twenty-first century, business leadership will be the key differentiator between success and failure.

近年來，許多企業與組織都在想方設法推動轉型，包括流程再造、企業併購、精簡人力、全面品質管理等等。然而，除了少數例外，這些計畫大多未能達到預期的成果。究其原因，主要是組織內缺乏能夠激勵及推動改變的企業領導者。

因此，任何組織若要朝向更好的方向轉型，最關鍵的一個挑戰便是發掘及培養強而有力的領導者。優秀的領導者能促成變革；他們也會透過鼓勵員工持續學習、拓展潛能，鞏固變革帶來的長期效益。如此一來，領導者便能不斷強化和累積企業的競爭優勢，同時也使企業能在未來更從容地因應全球經濟日新月異的需求。

In recent years, a number of businesses and other organizations have attempted to transform themselves through a variety of initiatives – reengineering, acquisitions, downsizing, total quality management, and others. With relatively few exceptions, these programs generally fail to deliver the anticipated results. Why is that? Predominantly because of a lack of business leaders who can inspire and motivate the people within the organization to act differently.

Thus, the single most important challenge in transforming any organization for the better is to find and develop strong leaders. Good business leaders make change happen. Leaders also lock-in the long-term benefits of those changes by encouraging people to continue learning new skills and develop new abilities. By so doing, business leaders continue to strengthen and build the competitive capacity of the business. This process also positions the firm strongly to be able to respond more effectively in the future to the ever changing demands of the global economy.
