1. Leading a company is like parenting: it’s one long process of puling back and letting it become its own organism. You have to make sure you have created an organization that is able to operate with or without you.
领导一家公司就像教育子女:你的不断后撤,从而让它逐渐成长为自我发展的有机体。你应该确保无论你在与不在,你建立的这家机构时刻都能自行运转。

2. Taking yourself too seriously is the worst thing you can do. That’s especially true with new leaders. They’re in the spotlight and feel as if they always need to have the right answer to protect their image. But, really, you just have to be proud of who you are naturally.
最不应该的就是太把自己当回事儿了。新上任的领导更是如此。他们是公众人物,因此总是觉得为了维护自身形象就必须正确回答问题。但实际上,你只需要对率真的自我感到自豪就可以。
