INTRODUCTION
前言

Nothing is easy anymore. Life is far too complicated for any of the classical mathematical equations. In today's world for things to work out, at least for those extraordinary ones that last and bring real change, we need something extra, an extra synergy, magic, will, grit, vision or dream… what some call luck, yet luck has nothing to do with it.

如今，没有什么是轻而易举的，生活远比任何经典的数学方程式都要复杂。在当下的世界，要想成事——至少是那些非凡的、持久的、能带来真正改变的事情——我们需要一些额外的东西：协同、魔力、意志、勇气、远见或梦想……有些人称之为运气，然而运气与这些并无关联。

Although mathematically incorrect, in life 1+1 equaling 3 is possible and could eventually be 4 or 5 or higher, depending on hidden variables added to the equation. Those hidden variables act as a multiplier and give us something that makes us greater than what we are.

尽管这在数学上并不准确，但在生活中，1+1等于3是可能的，甚至最终可能等于4或5或者更高，这取决于加入方程式中的隐藏变量。这些隐藏变量就像一个乘数，赋予我们某种力量，使我们变得比现在更强大。

We all have challenges, often to do more with less, the hidden variables of leadership are the multiplier that allows us to do more and be more. Also we all have, to some extent, leadership roles to accomplish, whether at work, at home, in our life, with our family, friends, kids. Our leadership impacts us all around, influencing every single outcome, yet in the end it is all on us, to individually own it, grow it, develop it and nurture it. Our ideas on growing and driving changes, or even sometimes just surviving them, have been developed from a lifetime of experience, made mostly by subconscious minds, those of ourselves and our families, as well as those of our communities together with a few conscious ideas from our own living and education. The vast majority, though, is subconscious, the base of our default system, as a sort of immediate reaction to everything that happens around us.

我们每个人都会面临挑战，常常要用更少的资源做更多的事，而领导力作为隐藏变量就是那个可以让我们做得更多、成就更多的乘数。在某种程度上，我们都有领导职责要履行，无论是在工作、家庭、生活中，还是与我们的家人、朋友、孩子相处时。我们的领导力对我们的周围产生着影响，影响着每一个结果，但归根结底，一切都取决于我们自己，包括领导力本身——领导力需要我们自己去主宰、发展、提升和培养它。我们关于成长、推动变革，甚至有时只是谋生的想法，都是从人生经历发展而来的。它们大多由我们自己和家人的潜意识，以及我们最熟悉的环境，连同我们生活和所受教育中一些有意识的想法所塑造。它们绝大多数是潜意识，来自我们的底层思维，是我们对周围发生的每一件事情的一种即时反应。

Working on revisiting them, will not only allow you to grow taller but also to contribute more.

重新审视这些想法，不仅会让你站得更高，也会让你成就更多。

By being more intentional in your reflecting and committing to change, you can become a far more effective individual at exploring regularly those multiplying variables that make all the difference.

通过更有意识地反思并致力于改变，你可以成为一个更高效的个体，定期探索那些能带来巨大乘数效应的变量。

Enclosed are some reflections, thoughts, conclusions, reminders and lessons learned along the way. They are all developed from my day-to-day activities, colleagues, friends and teams but mainly from trying and failing. These thoughts have been divided into 5 sections as a way to start your own self-reflection. Each thought needs its own space. Dedicate 5 minutes to each one, probably two or three per day.

书中的反思、想法、结论、提醒和经验教训，都是我从自己的日常生活以及与同事、朋友和团队的互动中获得的，当然主要来自个人的努力和失败经历。为了便于你自我反思，这些经验被分为5个部分。每条经验都值得被关注。建议为每条都留出5分钟的时间来思考，并坚持每天学习2～3条。

The first section, Direction, speaks about what are you trying to accomplish, the vision/mission, your ultimate dream.

第一部分，“方向篇”，讲述了你想要实现的目标，即愿景（使命）、你的终极梦想。

The second section, You, is about understanding your motivations, routines and best patterns of behavior.

第二部分，“自我篇”，是关于理解你的动机、日常习惯和行为模式的最佳方式。

The third section, Better You, is something self–explanatory and includes thoughts on making you bolder.

第三部分，“成长篇”，不言而喻，包含让你变得更大胆的想法。

The fourth section, Teams, refers to how we interact with our colleagues and develop better relationships.

第四部分，“团队篇”，指的是我们如何与同事合作，建立更好的关系。

The fifth section, Life, is more of a 360 related to your day-to day possibilities on a variety of topics.

第五部分，“生活篇”，更多涉及与你的日常生活相关的全方位内容，包括各种话题。

This is not intended to be a book, but rather a daily notebook of thoughts, a work journal to stimulate and capture your thinking and actions about leadership. Most of the publications in this field are written using a case study approach, referring always to someone who faced a similar challenge or situation.

这并非一本传统意义上的书，更像是一本日常思想笔记、一本工作日志，用来激发和捕捉你关于领导力的思考和行动。这一领域的大多数出版物都是采用案例研究的方法编写的，总是提到面临类似挑战或情况的人。

In contrast, this one is done with a more Asian approach of self discovery and personal reflection, hence the format allows you to write on each page your own thoughts, conclusions, reflections or actions to be taken for your own development and progress.

这本书则更多地采用亚洲式自我发现和个人反思的方法，因此，它设计的格式允许你在每一页上写下你自己的想法、结论、反思或要采取的行动，以促进你的自我发展和进步。

No particular order has to be followed other than your own personal interests and growth.

除了自身的兴趣与成长，你无须遵循任何特定的标准。

I have also included some classic quotes. I hope they are all as useful to you as they have been to me.

我还摘录了一些经典名言，愿它们能为你指点迷津，正如它们曾经照亮我前行的道路。

All in all, I hope some of these reflections will allow you to keep on growing and becoming even more successful to finally contribute to make a better WE.

总之，我希望这些思考能让你不断成长，取得更大的成功，最终成就更好的自我！
