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，沒有什么是輕而易舉的，生活遠比任何經典的數學方程式都要復雜。在當下的世界，要想成事——至少是那些非凡的、持久的、能帶來真正改變的事情——我們需要一些額外的東西：協同、魔力、意志、勇氣、遠見或夢想……有些人稱之為運氣，然而運氣與這些并無關聯。

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.

盡管這在數學上并不準確，但在生活中，1+1等于3是可能的，甚至最終可能等于4或5或者更高，這取決于加入方程式中的隱藏變量。這些隱藏變量就像一個乘數，賦予我們某種力量，使我們變得比現在更強大。

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.

我們每個人都會面臨挑戰，常常要用更少的資源做更多的事，而領導力作為隱藏變量就是那個可以讓我們做得更多、成就更多的乘數。在某種程度上，我們都有領導職責要履行，無論是在工作、家庭、生活中，還是與我們的家人、朋友、孩子相處時。我們的領導力對我們的周圍產生著影響，影響著每一個結果，但歸根結底，一切都取決于我們自己，包括領導力本身——領導力需要我們自己去主宰、發展、提升和培養它。我們關于成長、推動變革，甚至有時只是謀生的想法，都是從人生經歷發展而來的。它們大多由我們自己和家人的潛意識，以及我們最熟悉的環境，連同我們生活和所受教育中一些有意識的想法所塑造。它們絕大多數是潛意識，來自我們的底層思維，是我們對周圍發生的每一件事情的一種即時反應。

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

重新審視這些想法，不僅會讓你站得更高，也會讓你成就更多。

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.

通過更有意識地反思并致力于改變，你可以成為一個更高效的個體，定期探索那些能帶來巨大乘數效應的變量。

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.

書中的反思、想法、結論、提醒和經驗教訓，都是我從自己的日常生活以及與同事、朋友和團隊的互動中獲得的，當然主要來自個人的努力和失敗經歷。為了便于你自我反思，這些經驗被分為5個部分。每條經驗都值得被關注。建議為每條都留出5分鐘的時間來思考，并堅持每天學習2～3條。

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”，講述了你想要實現的目標，即愿景（使命）、你的終極夢想。

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

第二部分，“自我篇”，是關于理解你的動機、日常習慣和行為模式的最佳方式。

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

第三部分，“成長篇”，不言而喻，包含讓你變得更大膽的想法。

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

第四部分，“團隊篇”，指的是我們如何與同事合作，建立更好的關系。

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”，更多涉及與你的日常生活相關的全方位內容，包括各種話題。

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.

這并非一本傳統意義上的書，更像是一本日常思想筆記、一本工作日志，用來激發和捕捉你關于領導力的思考和行動。這一領域的大多數出版物都是采用案例研究的方法編寫的，總是提到面臨類似挑戰或情況的人。

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.

這本書則更多地采用亞洲式自我發現和個人反思的方法，因此，它設計的格式允許你在每一頁上寫下你自己的想法、結論、反思或要采取的行動，以促進你的自我發展和進步。

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

除了自身的興趣與成長，你無須遵循任何特定的標準。

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

我還摘錄了一些經典名言，愿它們能為你指點迷津，正如它們曾經照亮我前行的道路。

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.

總之，我希望這些思考能讓你不斷成長，取得更大的成功，最終成就更好的自我！
