Leadership is the ability of a person to guide people in a group toward achieving a task at hand. I believe that leaders are made; they are not born, and a person can always be a good leader if they make full use of the following list of leadership strengths. First, task execution is one of the most important leadership strengths. Coming up with a brilliant idea and executing that idea are two completely different things. Bringing an idea to life is a lot easier said than done. An idea really comes to life only when it is executed to perfection. For this, you need to be a team player. There is a fine line between having followers that follow you out of respect and having followers that follow you because they have no choice. Any kind of disagreement in the team will affect the end result and the efficiency of performing the task. Second, before you go on to put any kind of strategy into place, you need to understand and envision what you wish to achieve. This is important because the expectations of the entire group will ride on your shoulders. Thus, one of the important leadership strengths is to have a very clear vision about how to go about a task at hand, keeping the long- and short-term goals and consequences in mind. You need to be practical yet optimistic about the possibilities involved in any task and must take into consideration all the risks involved. Third, being a leader does not mean that you own the people you work with. Many people tend to get carried away and do not listen to their team members. This can go against them as the team members then tend to lose respect for their leader. You need to genuinely listen to your team members because they are the only ones that will tell you if you go wrong at any point in time. Furthermore, listening will make sure that you connect with your team members on a personal level, which will improve the performance of your team greatly.【缺少答案,请补充】
the survey asked kids, "what would that wish be?" Most parents assumed that children would want more time with them, but only 10% did. Instead, the most common wish was that parents would be less stressed and tired by work. A professional in a large firm, who is also a mother of three young children, counsels employees who are overwhelmed by their work and family duties to review their commitments carefully. "It's not about getting up earlier in the morning so you can get more done," she says. "It's about saying no and making choices." Parents can start by leaving work, and thoughts of work, behind as soon as they start the trip home. They can think about how to make the most of the upcoming time with their family. Or, they can do something to get in a good mood, whether listening to music in the car or reading a novel on the underground subway. When they get home, they'd better change out of work clothes and stay away from emails. It's important for parents to remember that the kids are learning about the world of work from them. So when they ask about the day, parents should tell them about something good that happened. In the survey, 69% of moms said they liked their work, but only 42% of kids thought they did. Parents can also destress by cutting back on their children's activities. If keeping up with their kids' schedules is painful, they might insist that the kids choose between tennis and swimming lessons. Parents should also get away from work and kids occasionally to feed their own interests and have fun.【缺少答案,请补充】
percent of a nation's total energy use. But there are surprisingly simple ways to greatly reduce energy use, its cost, and its effect on the environment. A solution to this problem is called passive home (or passive house). An expert says the design of a passive house aims to reduce energy demand to its lowest possible level. Passive houses use no solar, geothermal (地热) or wind energy equipment, but they are really energy-efficient. Building a passive house needs some particular products. They also need to have special air treatment systems. Supporters say they cost about 5-8 percent more than traditional homes, but they use only 10 percent of the energy for heating and cooling. Even greater savings can be reached with additions like solar water heating systems. With continuous efforts and progress, an advanced passive home that can cut heating and cooling costs by about 90 percent now can look just like any other home despite using specialized materials. The expert says, “That is the beauty of the passive house approach. You don't have to build in a particular way or style.” It is said that you can find passive homes all over the world. The first passive design was an apartment building in Darmstadt, Germany. Two physicists helped develop it about 30 years ago. A passive house was built in Arlington, Virginia, seals its windows against leaks so that they are airtight and each window has three layers of glass. On a cold winter day, the temperature inside the unfinished home is a comfortable 12 degrees. While in the area with high temperatures, North Africa, for example, there is a passive house community designed for very hot, dry climates. And that's a whole other area of exploration for passive houses.【缺少答案,请补充】
