In the popular point of view, a leader should stay stoic and hold to his principles and objectives, and therefore, any concession to shifts in popular opinions would waste his accomplishments. I think the author has been too extreme in what he alleges. We need a rational understanding of balancing a leader's principles and reacting to the shifts in popular opinions.
             First of all, the leader's role is determinant to the way in which he should react to different kind of situations. A typical leader allocates resources, distribute work to group members, and encourages all members and guide them through their common goals. Earnest commitment to their principles and objectives, as is often found in traditional notions relating groups and leaders, will certainly bring cohesion to the group. We find followers of a religion with the belief in their gods, the group of pirates who fights their enemies relentlessly for treasures, and revolutionists who sacrifice themselves bravely for the great causes. The leaders planted the commitment into their members, which continues to stimulate their royalty towards the group. As we can see, the commitment at first gives us the belief that it can bring cohesion to a group, which will undoubtedly turn into a leader's success.
             Although commitment results into some expectible good factors to the group, it could sometimes deflect the group's efforts from its supposed goals. It is like a huge ship which has enormous impetus but turns clumsily. This is especially true in those rapidly changing sectors, such as IT. A telecommunications company which is renowned in its cable network business will be forced to shift their priority to the wireless, as the wireless is destinedly the future trend. A country that is closed will also consider opening up to the world and struggle for more opportunities in global competition. Commitment to their original principles and objectives contradict to the trend of the times, and has to be dropped.
           Second, the changing of objective of commitment will be bitter and troublesome and sometimes cause the leader to be lost, they actually demand the wit of observing the situation and working out an optimal solution. Suppose a group of computer genius who developed numerous viruses and destroyed masses of data. The leader of the group, if he has realized the people's anger with the viruses, will certainly turn his group into security experts who work against viruses - before the police investigate their crimes, and regain reputation. Politicians are another example of who always "sails with the winds" of the shifts of popular opinions to distribute their political opinions. To keep his position, the leader of a country is also carefully observing and reacting to the popular opinions. As we see, the wit of treating others' opinions is also another factor that contributes the success of some other kinds of leaders.
             Third, instead of being mutually exclusive, commitment to particular principles and objectives are more often combined with being influenced by popular opinion shifts. In today's hyper-competitive world, different companies maintain their profit by keeping to their own edges and unique points, while reacting quickly to the demands of their customers. In addition, reacting to changes may also be a kind of principle for businesses like fashion and city infrastructure construction, which is highly dependent on public opinions. Any leader in charge of these will be required to strike a balance between commiting to their own principles and reacting quickly to popular opinions.
              In sum, being quickly influenced by shifts in popular opinion is not to be simply equalled to the failure of a leader. It is also unsuitable to contrast such influence against the insist on certain principles and objectives. A leader does not shut communication to the outside by commiting to his principles, but rather needs to find ways to success using all means. Therefore, a balance is required between them if a leader is to be effective.



写完之后整理一下：
（1） 初看起来，坚持某个目标总是能为一个leader带来忠诚的员工的。而坚持也是一种最不需要技巧的方式。可见，在很多简单的组织中，坚持是有好的结果的。
（2）但是，在很多时候，由于情况变复杂，以及领导所处的领域的多变性，坚持或是一成不变是对这个leader造成长期不利的。比如IT业。所以需要通过外界的声音来转变。
（3）转变有时很痛苦，但是却是有很好的效果的，比如黑客们听到民愤转行投身正义，成为安全专家
（4）一个有效的领导者需要将两者结合

搜索前辈的习作感觉我这篇有一点乱 希望大家给个意见，比如是不是写简单一些就好了？
用词是不是还有点太少了不符合gre的“水平”？
thanks in advance
