Simon Sinek: Why good leaders make you feel safe

 The closest analogy I can give to what a great leader is, is like being a parent.

关于一个好领袖是什么样的， 我可以给出的最贴切的类比就是家长。

 如果你想想一个好家长是什么样的，你想要什么？什么会塑造一个好家长？ 我们想给我们的孩子机会， 教育，并在必要时训诫他们， 所有这一切都是为了他们可以长大， 并且比我们更有成就。


Great leaders want exactly the same thing. They want to provide their people opportunity, education, discipline when necessary, build their self-confidence, give them the opportunity to try and fail, all so that they could achieve more than we could ever imagine for ourselves.

 伟大的领袖也是这样的。 他们想为团队成员提供机会、教育，以及必要的训诫， 帮助他们建立自信，给他们尝试和犯错的机会， 为了他们可以获得 超出我们想象的成就。



Charlie Kim, who's the CEO of a company called Next Jump in New York City, a tech company, he makes the point that if you had hard times in your family, would you ever consider laying off one of your children? We would never do it. Then why do we consider laying off people inside our organization?Charlie implemented a policy of lifetime employment. If you get a job at Next Jump, you cannot get fired for performance issues. In fact, if you have issues, they will coach you and they will give you support, just like we would with one of our children who happens to come home with a C from school. It's the complete opposite.

查理·金，纽约一家叫做Next Jump的 科技公司的CEO， 他指出， 如果你的家庭遇到困难， 你会考虑牺牲你自己的一个孩子吗？ 我们绝不会这样做。 但为什么我们要考虑 在我们的组织中裁员呢？ 查理采用了 终生雇佣制度。 如果你在Next Jump获得了工作， 你不会因为表现不好被开除。 实际上，如果你有问题， 他们会训练你，并给你支持， 就像我们对待 带着一个等级C回家的孩子一样。 这是完全不同的方式。
