今天，小沃继续为大家介绍一下优秀的领导者经常用的几句话，上次的那三句话，大家是不是掌握了呢？
4.“What was learned?”
4. “学到了什么？”
We’ve all been there. And hindsight is indeed 20/20. So why not use this as a learning lesson by asking your entire team what this incident had to offer in the way of teachable moments?
我们都经历过这样的事情，人人都是事后诸葛亮。为什么不通过询问团队该事件的教育意义，从而将其作为一个学习的好机会呢？
Why it matters
为什么重要
True leaders know that failure’s just an opportunity to learn and do better. And if you aren’t failing, you aren’t trying. Progress over perfection is key to growth and to success, both for individuals as well as corporations. And as leaders, it’s really our responsibility to mentor and teach our staff how to learn from mistakes, rather than to fear them.
真正的领导者知道，失败是学习和提高的好机会。如果不失败，你就不会去尝试。对公司和个人都一样，过程比结果对公司发展和成功更关键。作为领导者，教导和引导员工从错误中学习是我们的责任，而不是恐吓他们。
5. “Just say no”
5. 说“不”即可
How many of us have hundreds of to-dos in the queue? How many of us fantasize of saying “no” the next time we’re asked to take on a new project? Well, guess what? Your team’s wondering the same of you. So the question is why don’t we “just say no?”
我们何曾想过，有多少人有几百件事还没完成？我们何曾想过，在下次接到新任务的时候敢于说“不”？你的队伍和你想法是一样的。那么问题是，我们为什么不说“不”呢？
Because it takes confidence to do so. But for inspiration, we need not look far: Apple’s former CEO Steve Jobs famously said: “…I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”
因为那需要勇气。但关于激情，我们不需要看得太远：苹果前CEO斯提芬乔布斯的名言：“我对没有做的事和做过的事感到一样自豪。创新就是对1000件事说不。”
“No” is a very powerful word and a tool to use to make sure we’re staying the course and not getting side-tracked by every shiny new opportunity that comes our way.
“不”是一个有力的词汇，并且是一个确保我们不偏离轨道的词汇，是不被路边的每一个新机会所干扰的工具。
Why it matters
为什么重要
A good boss has to have the confidence to believe in her ability to make the right decisions for what will be priority for all to follow. That same person has to be comfortable with letting go of thousands of other opportunities, even if later on one of those not chosen turns out to be one that should’ve been. We can’t do it all. And smart people know that when we try to do it all, we most often only succeed in diffusing our power to do anything well. And that is when we become mediocre and less than successful.
一个优秀的老板，对自己做正确决策的能力充满自信，知道什么是首要的任务。同样，优秀的领导者也不会拘泥于错失机会这件事情上，即使后来发现其中某一个是不值得放弃的。不是我们所有的人都有这个境界。睿智的人知道，当我们试图面面俱到时，我们最成功的就是把我们的能力稀释了。这就是为什么我们变得平庸且很少成功。
6. “I don’t know”
6. “我不知道”
Of all the three little words that I have put to use throughout my own career, “I don’t know” seems to be the phrase that surprises and delights everyone. I’ve been told by my own CEO that one of the reasons she chose to hire me was because during my interview I actually confessed that I didn’t know the answer to a question—but that I would do the necessary research to find out.
在我职业生涯用到的包含3个单词的语句中，“我不知道”可能是最使每个人吃惊和高兴的句子了。我的CEO告诉我，她录用我的一个原因就是在面试中，我承认了我不知道一个问题的答案，但说将做些必要的研究来找到答案。
Why it matters
为什么重要
Some might think that admitting lack of knowledge would spell doom. But that’s the difference between a brave leader and a coward. Abraham Lincoln surrounded himself with people in his cabinet who knew more than he did on various subjects. Henry Ford chose to do the same. After all, transparency, vulnerability, truth, being real and trustworthy are the characteristics that make a boss a real leader.
一些人可能觉得承认无知会带来厄运。但这是一名勇敢的领导者与一名胆小的领导者的区别。围绕着林肯总统身边的内阁成员在不少事情上都比他知道的多。福特总统也是这样选的内阁成员。毕竟，透明、脆弱、真相、真实与值得信赖是使一名老板成为一名真正领导者的特质。
These are just a few examples of the three little words some of the leaders with whom I’ve worked have been brave enough to say. And not only have I benefited putting them to use throughout my own career—but maybe even more importantly, so, too, have my teams.
和我在一起工作的领导者只有很少的人有足够的勇气说出这三个字。不止是我在职业生涯中因使用这三个字而受益，可能更重要的是，我的团队也因此而受益。
上面的几句话是不是很简单呢？大家可以用起来哦。
