Is the most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to remain consistently committed to partical principles and objectives, as the author claims? I concede, in some circumstances, commiting to certain principles and objectives are essential. However, in other circumstances, it could do no good at all.
To begin with, I concede that the ability of consistently committed to certain principles and objectives is essential for an effective leader. Since, in the realm of bussiness or politic, people might easily doubt their primiary principles and objectives due to the complex and ever-changing situations and circumstances, they call for a strong and effective leader, who can give them confidence by consistently committed to primiary principles and objectives. For example, at the first several years of the start of Google, many workers doubted about one of the principles in Google's philosophy, 'you can make money without doing evil', which kept much of potential advertising profit outdoors. However, the co-founder Larry Page remain consistently committed to this primiary principle in spite of the all the doubts and complainments and finally make the fame of Google for both advaced technology and rightful morality. And it is the commitment that makes Google one of the most welcomed and profitable company in the world.
However, to be an effective leader, one should also adopt others' reasonable suggestion to amend or abandon the primiary wrong principles and objectives, since some out-of-date principles and objectives are no longer deserved to be committed. A good example to illustrate my view is about the Bill Gate's choice between remote conference and Internet. Before the booming of Internet, there is a growing call for emphasis on developing Internet based techniques rather than the primiary objective, remote conferecne technique. Though Bill was the proposer of remote conference, he chose to develop the technique based on the Internet after thoroghly thinking about people's suggestion. Thus, Microsoft later develop its famous software product, Internet Expolorer, and remain vivid in contemporary Internet Epoch.
Thus, a leader could never be thought an effective leader unless he knows when should he committed to praticular principles and objectives, and when should he amend or abandon them. Two examples above have shown that neither the stubborn leaders,who remain consistently committed to particual principles and objectives, nor the undetermined leaders, who are easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion, will accomplish much. Therefore, an effective leader should take in as much as advise and suggestions into consideration and then make up the principles and objectives, which should be committed to in a period of time.
In conclusion, it is a complex problem for a leader to choose between commiting and shiftting and any hasty assertion might lead to fails. Thus, the effective leader need to make a propor balance between them. |
