Recently, we’ve seen examples of women leaders facing tremendous challenges and developing even greater leadership skills as a result—think GM CEO Mary Barra, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, IMF head Christine Lagarde, etc. These women lead companies, countries, and global financial markets through unprecedented historical events. While impressively composed and decisive on the outside, I imagine there were many points at which they felt outside their comfort zone — beyond their learning zone; and on terror’s edge, leading into unchartered territories.
最近,我们看到许多女性领导者面临严峻的挑战,最终锤炼出更卓越的领导能力。比如,通用汽车(GM)CEO玛丽•巴拉、美联储(U.S. Federal Reserve)主席珍妮特•耶伦、德国总理安吉拉•默克尔和国际货币基金组织(IMF)总裁克里斯蒂娜•拉加德等。这些女性领导的公司、国家和全球金融机构,经历了前所未见的历史性事件。虽然她们看上去沉着而果断,但我猜想,在很多时刻,她们可能感到身处自己的舒适区之外——超越了她们的学习区;处在恐惧的边缘,进入了完全未知的领域。
There’s a lot of truth, however, when they say, ‘what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.’ Adversity can make us stronger people and better leaders. In fact, the Center for Creative Leadership reports that over 66% of leadership capabilities are forged through challenges. While you and I may never face multi-billion global challenges like the leaders of GMGM 3.62% Chrysler or the Fed, we do face our own personal and professional challenges from which we can learn and forge new leadership skills.
