????這本書讀起來很有挑戰(zhàn)，因?yàn)橹Z瓦克知道領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力和技巧無關(guān)，它關(guān)乎人內(nèi)心的本質(zhì)，人性的特點(diǎn)，關(guān)乎人與人之間深層次的交流。大多數(shù)商業(yè)書籍都只會(huì)教授如何進(jìn)行商業(yè)分析，而這本書促使人分析人的心理，尤其是自我解剖，它的難度顯然（比商業(yè)分析）大得多。計(jì)算現(xiàn)金流易如反掌。然而，坦誠地解剖自己，拷問自己是否曾經(jīng)披上偽裝、欺騙他人，別人是否認(rèn)為你誠實(shí)可靠，你是否珍視他人做出的貢獻(xiàn)，這種心理分析卻會(huì)讓人精疲力竭。

????“超級(jí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力”并不是完全在探討人的反省，它還涉及到企業(yè)戰(zhàn)略和結(jié)構(gòu)、行動(dòng)計(jì)劃與執(zhí)行力。但是這些內(nèi)容處于次要的位置。這本書所傳遞的基本信息最根本的基礎(chǔ)在于人們對(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的深刻體驗(yàn)。舉個(gè)例子，諾瓦克最雄辯的一個(gè)主題是認(rèn)知的價(jià)值——他非常樂意公開承認(rèn)良好的業(yè)績，而認(rèn)知正是百勝餐飲集團(tuán)的核心企業(yè)文化。這是個(gè)簡單的概念；認(rèn)知沒有任何成本，但是有著驚人的價(jià)值。然而大多數(shù)經(jīng)理人看起來似乎對(duì)這個(gè)人性的基本面一無所知。

????商界領(lǐng)袖中，創(chuàng)下了世人矚目的豐功偉績的人并不多見；其中又只有少數(shù)人會(huì)著書立說，而真正動(dòng)筆寫出杰作的人更是鳳毛麟角。諾瓦克正好就是其中的一員。讀者朋友盡可以放心地扔掉手頭的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力書籍，騰出書架。甚至是iPad 和Kindle里的數(shù)十億字節(jié)的電子書也可以清空，把騰出來的巨大存儲(chǔ)空間留給這本書。

????This book is demanding because Novak understands that leadership isn't about techniques. It's about your own deep nature, your traits as a human being, and how you connect with other people at deep levels. Most business books tell you to do analysis; this one makes you do psychoanalysis, mostly of yourself, and that's a lot harder. Calculating free cash flow is easy. Being honest with yourself about whether you ever pretend to be something you're not, whether others see you as reliable, whether you really value the contributions of others -- that can leave you exhausted.

????Taking People With You isn't entirely about introspection. It's also about strategy and structure, action plans and execution. But those things come later. The foundation of the book's message is the profoundly human experience of leading. For example, one of Novak's most powerful themes is the value of recognition -- he is an absolute fanatic about publicly recognizing good performance, and recognition is at the heart of Yum's culture. It's such a simple concept; recognition costs nothing, and its value is staggering. Yet most managers seem virtually clueless about this basic facet of human nature.

????Not many business leaders have produced long-term performance that merits our attention; of those few, not many write books; and of those who do, hardly any write good books. Novak is in that tiny subset. You can safely declutter much of your business leadership bookshelf, even if it's just taking up gigabytes in your iPad or Kindle, and install this one in the vast empty space.
