1.Give direction. Stand in front of the mirror and say, Here is our future five times without stuttering. A leader's most important job at any organization is to lay out a road map to the future.

Have the guts2 to make decisions while there's still risk in them.
确定公司运作的方向。站在镜子前,连续5遍不间断地说:这就是大家企业的将来。身为任何企业的领导,非常重要的工作就是绘制出将来的蓝图。假如你不可以为大伙指明方向,你就只能算是个经理而不可以成为领导人。你所绘制的蓝图需要是现实可行、实质性的,能叫人相信是可以达成的。即使是存在风险,你也需要敢于当机立断。

4.Honor your customer. The Internet lets your customers sound off and tell you exactly what they like or don't like about your business. Listen to them. Get out into the markets you serve, and ask your customers for feedback. Make the necessary changes to improve service or else you may find yourself with fewer customers .
尊重顾客。网络叫你的顾客享有更多畅所欲言的机会,说出他们真实的想法,喜欢你什么,不喜欢你什么。倾听他们的声音,并亲自融进你从事的市场中去征求顾客的反馈。你需要依据状况不断改进企业的服务。不然,你就会发现顾客不断降低。

Do all of that, and you'll have an organization that will make you proud.
假如你能做到所有这类,你就必然会拥有一个引以为豪的企业。
