But what are these really,
17、 and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the
18、 long-term, They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear. They will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in
19、the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the
20、work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性).

26、 handwriting. I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for
27、 at least a year, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point. It was a very important event in the computerization of lifea sign that the informal, friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. T
28、here was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one anothers handwriting the way we knew voices or faces. As a child visiting my fathers office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desks of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the
