在最高“海拔点”，你会关心一些比较宏观的问题：公司的使命和战略是什么？人们是否理解和信任这些目标？在最低海拔点，人们会关心一些比较实际的问题：我们能否完成销售额？我们的产量如何？在二者之间，你会问一些类似下面的问题：我们是否应该投资那家小型生物技术公司，他们推出的新药是否有市场前景？我们这个月应该请多少化学家

我们能从霍华徳・舒尔茨、迪克·科瓦塞维奇、爱伦布雷和里萨・克拉克・金的故事当中学到些什么呢？他们同我们采访立的其他领导者一样，都是从自己的人生经历当中汲取力量，进而成长为一名领导者。在理解了早年生活中的那些经历之后，他们学会了用一种新的方式重新审视自己的生活，并在***和真北的指引下开始自己的领导工作。

读到这里，你可能会问，谁没有自己的人生经历呢？既然每个人都有自己的经历，那么是什么导致领导者的经历对他们产生的影响与其他人不同呢？

很多有过痛苦经历的人都把自己看成是牺牲品，感觉整个世界都在和自己作对。他们没有去思考自己的人生经历与自己正在追求的目标之间有什么联系。而有些人则只顾追求世人的羡慕，结果永远都有机会成为真诚的领导者。

真诚领导者与这些人之间的区别在于他们看待自己人生经历的方式。真诚领导者会通过这些经历找到自己的***和梦想，希望能够尽自己最大的力量改这个世界。小说家约輸・巴斯（ John Barth）曾经说过，“你的人生经历并不是你的人生。它只是你的故事而已。”换句话说，真正重要的是你如何描述人生，而不是你的生活中到底发生了什么。这些故事就像一盘在我们大脑当中反复播放的录像带。我们总是一遍又一遍地重播以往生活中那些比较重要的人和事，总是希望能够从中读出它们的意义，并通过解读这些人和事来确定我们在这个世界上的位置。

只要学会用一种新的方式重新描述这些故事，我们就会意识到，自己其实并不是这些经历的牺牲品；恰恰相反，这些经历可以为我们提供足够的动力，帮助我们成长为真诚的领导者。当我们开始学会重新解释自己的过去、现在和未来时，我们的人生故事将会更加精彩。沃伦・本尼斯曾经说过，“你是自己人生的创作者。”他鼓励人们用自己的人生故事激励自己创造更加美好的未来。

作为自己人生故事的创作者，你该怎样把自己的过去和未来连接起来，在你的人生中，到底有哪些人...

千万不要害怕挑战。要学会迎接它们。即便会受到伤害也要学会去克服这些挑战。告诉自己，你可以从这些经历中学到些什么。或许你现在并没有完全理解自已会学到什么，但迟早会的。这些都只是生活的一部分，而生活是一个不断学习的过程。每一次挑战都会让你的内心变得更加强大。生命中没有件有价值的事情是很容易就可以实现的

只有在经历过这些早期的磨难之后，你才能更好地应对未来的挑战。而那些少年得，在事业的阶上爬得太快的人往往更易陷入境。他们会误以为自己是英雄，可当真正的挑战或失败的现实来到面前的时候，他们就会变得不知所措。

这也是领导者所面临的最大挑战。要想激发队友们的动力，让自己的组织取得成功，真诚领导者就必须对自己的目标表现出一种强烈的热情，让人们感受到这种热情，并由此产生强大的动力

当形势在不断上升的时侯，只有一点是可以确定的：它一定会下降。当处在下坡路的时楼，也只有一点是可以确定的: 一定会上升。但你可能并没有注意到，你下一次下降的最低点可能会比你上次上升的最高点还要高。生活就是这样，是一个不断学习、不断成长的过種。你的人生就像是一部电影，而不是一部沿途拍摄的摄影集
