The best way for a society to prepare its young people for leadership in different fields is by instilling in them a sense of cooperation, not competition, because cooperation can teach young people how to communicate with others and how to work together with others, which are of great significance for leadership.
First of all, cooperation can teach young people how to communicate with others.合作促进交流,竞争阻碍交流,交流能力对于领导能力很重要。举例:对交流方式的选择:email, telephone, message.
What is more, young people can practice how to work with others in cooperation while only rely on themselves in competition.合作能够锻炼年轻人对不同人和不同资源coordination的能力,coordination的能力对于领导力很重要,能够让合适的人在合适的位置,效率最大化。
People may argue that a sense of competition will make students more hardworking and industrious. I, however, insist cooperation is more important than competition because young people have already learned competition during their growth.生活中已经有太多竞争,竞争意识不需要灌输。
TS: I agree with the statement that future leaders need to appreciate the importance of cooperation for the success of governments and corporations. In fact, cooperation is essential within an organization and among different organizations. While competition is also important for leaders, most young people learn enough about it as they grow up.
ts1: Future leaders have to understand the importance of cooperation within an organization in which people with different expertise can work together productively.
- the idea of comparative advantage
- leaders need to understand how team members with different skills and exeprtise can work together to create more value together
- leaders also need to design a work flow that can facilitate the cooperation
- to do that young people have to develop a sense of cooperation through extracurricular activities
ts2: It is also important for young people to learn how an organization need to cooperate with other stakeholders in the society.
- the importance of negotiation among different stakeholders
- the example of Google who failed to cooperate with Chinese government
- not only Google is not accessible in China; now gmail is also blocked
- cooperating with other organizations is also important
- young people need to learn that
ts3: While there is no doubt that competition is also essential for any organization, most young people learn how to compete through formal schooling.
- competition is important for creating incentives to make progress
- but most students learn that in schools when they work hard to compete for places in college
- they will also learn that when they compete for jobs and leadership positions
