Today's advice comes from Don Rainey:
今天MBA小課堂的嘉賓是Don Rainey：

"Despite all the cultural emphasis on ‘making it to the top,’ fewer than 1 percent of employees actually manage to attain an executive level position. For entrepreneurs, of course, the situation is dramatically different: By virtue of being the founder of a company, many become instant CEOs — well before they gain the experience needed to succeed."
“盡管所有的文化都強調(diào)要“走向巔峰”，但是只有不到1%的雇員可以成功進入管理層。當(dāng)然對于創(chuàng)業(yè)者來講，情況就完全不同了：他們是公司的創(chuàng)立人，很多直接成為了首席執(zhí)行官——可能在他們還不具備成功所需的經(jīng)驗之前。”

One of the most important traits to becoming a successful CEO, says Rainey — General Partner with Grotech Ventures, a private equity investment firm — is to become an effective "issue spotter." ?Issue spotting is an exercise that focuses on pulling out the critical issues in a conflict.
私募股權(quán)投資公司Grotech Ventures的合伙人Rainey表示，一個成功的首席執(zhí)行官必須具備的重要素質(zhì)之一就是他必須是一個有效的“事件觀察員”。事件觀察是指在一次沖突中抓住主要事件的一種訓(xùn)練。

Once an issue is identified, the most effective CEOs then work quickly to squash the potential problem before it has time to grow into a crisis.
一旦一個事件被標(biāo)記，最有效率的首席執(zhí)行官就會快速把潛在問題消滅在萌芽狀態(tài)。

"Framing these root causes, then determining the best way to resolve them, are also requisite skills for leaders. Usually, you can’t fix things yourself."
“找出問題的根源，然后采取最好的方式解決這些問題，這些也是一個領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者所必備的技能。 通常情況下，解決問題也不能單靠自己。”
