Creativity Can Lessen Leader Image

創(chuàng)造力有損領(lǐng)袖形象

Think of a quality that defines a strong leader. Do I hear: dynamic, driven, decisive, original? Well, I probably didn’t hear “original.” Because people who are considered “creative” are generally not viewed as leaders. That’s according to a study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

想想我們是如何定義一名強有力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的，是否包括這些形容詞？——精力充沛、積極努力、堅定果斷、具有獨創(chuàng)性？哦，好吧，或許并不包括“具有獨創(chuàng)性”。原因在于人們一般不認為領(lǐng)袖會“具有創(chuàng)造性”。這可是根據(jù)《實驗社會心理學(xué)雜志》上刊登的一項研究得出的結(jié)果哦。

People who show imagination can be seen as dreamers because their ideas have not been proven. Those seen as leaders, on the other hand, are expected to maintain order and to keep things moving forward. Yet in today’s business world, companies say they’re looking for creative CEOs who can promote change and lead their businesses in profitable new directions.

大秀想象力的人會被認為是夢想家，因為他們的想法未經(jīng)事實證明。而另一方面，人們期望領(lǐng)袖人物能夠維持秩序，保持事務(wù)正常向前發(fā)展。不過，在現(xiàn)今的商業(yè)界，公司們都聲稱他們在尋找具有創(chuàng)見性的CEO，認為這樣的CEO能夠推動改革并領(lǐng)導(dǎo)企業(yè)在新領(lǐng)域盈利。

To examine what we really think about creativity, scientists asked students to present ideas for how airlines can get more revenue from their passengers. Half the students were told to come up with novel solutions, and the rest were asked to stick with something more tried-and-true. Other students who then listened to these pitches rated those who were innovative as having less leadership potential.

為了調(diào)查清楚我們對創(chuàng)造力究竟抱有何種心態(tài)，科學(xué)家們要求學(xué)生就航空公司怎樣才能從乘客身上獲得更多收入這個問題獻計獻策。他們要求一半學(xué)生拿出新的解決方案，而要求另一半學(xué)生一點要用行之有效的辦法。然后找來另外一些學(xué)生來對這些辦法評測，結(jié)果表明那些想出具有創(chuàng)造性主意的人被評為更不具領(lǐng)導(dǎo)潛力。

So go ahead, think outside the box. But if you want to scale the corporate ladder, you might consider keeping your most interesting ideas under wraps. At least until you’ve nailed that corner office.

如此說來，你若想跳出固有思維模式來做事，那就放手一搏吧?？扇粝胍诠纠锊讲礁呱?，你可得讓你那些最有意思的想法保持低調(diào)。至少留到你一個人呆在角落里那間（不起眼）的辦公室時再說吧。
