It takes a certain amount of narcissism to claw your way up the ranks of a company. But it takes as much humility to be successful once you’re there.

要爬上公司的领导层当然需要一点自恋的精神，但是当你已经置身领导级，要想在这里取得成功，还得具有与自恋同样多的谦逊态度。

Executives who curb their confidence in their vision by admitting mistakes and limitations and acknowledging the contributions of others tend to command the most respect and loyalty from their teams, who thereby deliver results, according to a new study from Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Management. However, humility, likemeditation or golf, may take some practice.

根据美国杨百翰大学麦里特商学院新近的一项研究表明，如果一位管理人员能够节制自己的主观观念，承认自己的错误和能力的局限性，能够首肯他人的贡献，他将更能够得到团队成员的尊敬和忠诚心。不过，这种谦逊精神就像冥想术或高尔夫球一样，也需要勤加练习才能得心应手。

And even so, narcissism is often a necessary tool for success -- as it was for the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, whose obsessive commitment to his vision for the iPhone maker helped shape it into the world's most valuable company.

不过即便如此，自恋往往仍是成功的必备要素——比如说已故的苹果公司联合创始人，史蒂夫·乔布斯就是一个颇为迷恋、执著于自己的观点的人，正是他这种固执己见将苹果公司塑造成为了世界上身价最高的公司。
