现代占卜:解读身高与成功的关系

So how do you explain shorter CEOs like Jack Welch and Ross Perot?

如何解释像杰克•韦尔奇(Jack Welch)和罗斯•佩罗(Ross Perot)这样身材相对矮小的CEO？ These are broad statistics, and there are many short people who do succeed. But people of any height who are successful tend to display certain behaviors that correlate with success. Jack Welch's wife actually told me that Jack thinks he's really tall. And there are behaviors that correlate with success. Successful people, whether short or tall, are known and seen. You know when Barry Diller walks into a room, and Jack Welch commands his physical space. So shorter people who are powerful often display many of the same behaviors as tall people.

有大量的数据表明许多身材矮小的人也取得了非凡的成就。但凡是那些获得了成功的人，无论身高几许，都会表现出和成功相关的行为特征。杰克•韦尔奇的夫人告诉我，事实上杰克自认为很高大。成功人士无论高矮，其一举一动都容易引起公众注意。你知道巴瑞•迪勒(Barry Diller)什么时候进屋，而杰克•韦尔奇能控制自己的活动空间。换言之，大权在握的矮个子往往会表现出许多和高个子一样的行为。

There are also a number of short CEOs who have succeeded by avoiding the corporate ladder and starting their own companies. This is definitely the case for Ross Perot, who is a self-made billionaire. Ron Perelman and Barry Diller also started their own companies instead of trying to move up from inside a company.
