gtjohnUID: 2813321

TOPIC: ISSUE70 - "In any profession-business,politics, education, government-those in power should step down after fiveyears. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization throughnew leadership."

New leader could bring new ideas and offer expertise, yetit does not mean he will bring the enterprise with revitalization. That is whysome companies pursue after another new CEO to replace current one who has justworked for a shortly time years. An effective leader has reasons to maintain hisposition and make contributions to the enterprise while strict supervision andelection system are also needed.

To begin with, an excellent leader who are smart,insightful and passionate, plays a vital role and more crucial than technology,organization and regulation in the path to success for any enterprise. Personaland interpersonal competence makes him to organize an efficient team with hiseffective communication skills and management ability. Leaders, with theirdesire enterprise, could bring in innovation and energy and affect others. Forexample, when Apple Inc. suffered profits and market decrease, it was SteveJobs who returned back to the company with his unique and advanced philosophy ofproducts, saved it and made it one of the most successful companies in theworld during the past 10 years. So, why can not a great leader to stay in hisposition and why should he step down after five years? If Jobs left Apple afterhis second participation 5 years later again, how can we imagine the great successApple achieves today?

However, there are several reasons why we have to replaceleaders or make an election again. First, a long stay in the saddle may leadthe leader to corruption or abuse of power. This situation is especially commonto the political area. Take Bill Clinton as example, who had provided theAmerican people a period of booming development and was one of the most popularpresidents in history, was also connected with scandals and negative events.Leaders may lose their possessiveness and sound judgment because of complexcondition and desires for power. Another reason often refers to the healthcondition of leaders. They tend to be less healthy and exhaust of mind undercomplicated issues and high pressures for many years. Franklin D. Roosevelt, whoassumed the presidency at depth of Great Depression and helped the Americanpeople regain the faith, died during his forth term. From this point of view,leaders need to stop and have a rest.

Leaders, who do well during his term, would benefit theenterprise if he stays in the position. What we need is the tight supervisionand election system. An outstanding leader often has rich expertise andextensive experience in his domain. In these fields, a quick rotation may harmthe enterprise. long terms are necessary for leaders to gain experience andmake contributions. For example, a lasting prosperity and stability are vitalin a financial system, the leader in an important role needs a long period oftraining and superior perspective. That is why Greenspan, the chairman ofFederal Reserve Board of US, stays in the position for more than 18 years. Hemade a big contribution for the development and stability of American economywith his sensitiveness of economy and rigid analytical ability.

In sum, it is too absolute to restrict the period of termfor leaders. We could provide excellent ones with more time and stage toprosper the enterprise if a well-sound supervision and election system arefounded.


1. 一个好的leader很重要
2. 好的为啥不能一直做呢，有这么几个理由 [感觉不是很充分]
3. 通过加强监督和建立选举制度，让一些好的leader一直干下去，尤其一些需要经验的领域。

New leader could bring new ideas and offer expertise, yet it does not mean he will bring the enterprise with revitalization. That is why (前一句否定了新领导会带来活力，但是你下一句又说这是有些公司寻找新CEO的原因，这个因果关系明显不成立) some companies pursue after another new CEO to replace current one who has just worked for a shortly time years. An effective leader has reasons to maintain his position and make contributions to the enterprise while strict supervision and election system are also needed.
To begin with, an excellent leader who are smart, insightful and passionate, plays a vital role and more crucial than technology, organization and regulation of a company in the path to success for any enterprise. Personal and interpersonal competence makes him to organize an efficient team with his effective communication skills and management ability. Leaders, with their desire enterprise, could bring in innovation and energy and affect others. For example, when Apple Inc. suffered profits and market decrease, it was Steve Jobs who returned back to the company with his unique and advanced philosophy of selling products, saved it and made it one of the most successful companies in the world during the past 10 years. So, why can not a great leader to stay in hi sposition and why should he step down after five years? If Jobs left Apple after his second participation 5 years later again, how can we imagine the great success Apple achieves today?这一段是想说领导的个人能力对一个公司很重要。

However, there are several reasons why we have to replace leaders or make an election again. First, a long stay in the saddle（用的很好！） may lead the leader to corruption or abuse of power. This situation is especially common to in the political area. Take Bill Clinton as example, who had provided the American people a period of booming development and was one of the most popular presidents in history, was also connected with scandals and negative events. （这个例子不合适啊。美国好多总统都连任啊，罗斯福还当了3届呢。再说与他所做的贡献相比，丑闻不是那么显眼了是吧。谁没有缺点呢？呵呵）Leaders may lose their possessiveness and sound judgment because of complex condition and desires for power. Another reason often refers to the health condition of leaders. They tend to be less healthy and exhaust of mind under complicated issues and high pressures for many years. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who assumed the presidency at depth of Great Depression and helped the American people regain the faith, died during his forth term. From this point of view, leaders need to stop and have a rest.我觉得开头说的领导会因为长期掌权而导致腐败是很好的原因。但是你没有深入讨论。举得例子是克林顿的丑闻。你可以说长期掌权会形成很大的势力，会破坏民主，难以吸取别的政党的意见，导致独裁。后面说领导的压力和健康也不是很合适，可以说领导受到压力和健康威胁，不能做出正确的决断，影响组织的前途

为什么我觉得你这一段的观点和上一段完全背离呢？格林斯潘的例子是不是可以看做罗斯福的反例呢？我想可能是因为你没有展开说健全的选举和监督是怎么又用的，转而又说经验问题了，这不是又承认了领导应该长期任职了吗？是不是可以和第二段合并？

In sum, it is too absolute to restrict the period of term for leaders. We could provide excellent ones with more time and stage to prosper the enterprise if a well-sound supervision and election system are founded.

感觉你的观点不是很明确。论证没有充分体现你的观点~
我想，题目里面强调了 any profession
any enterprise, 是不是可以分情况讨论呢？
我的思路是 在一些领域，如商业、政治，领导更换很重要；但有些领域，如教育、体育、公益组织并不需要经常更换领导。
（1）
讨论为什么有些领域领导更换很重要，因为这些领域需要民主、需要不断纠正错误。长期领导会滥用职权，形成独裁；这些领域发展迅速，需要经常的人员更迭去调整政策。如总统选举，要实行新政。
（2）
讨论为什么有的领域需要长期领导。因为这些组织的发展和领导的名望有很大的关系。比如名人成立的慈善组织。这些领域需要长期贯彻同样的思想，如教育、体育等

2# 追梦小木耳 想了一下，自己的思考确实没有太深入，我最初想写的内容是，一个leader要是很好那为啥不让他一直做呢，只要有严格的监管和合理的选举制度就好了哈。如果政治方面限制任期是为了防止腐败，那如果总统没腐败，深得人心那为啥又不让继续做呢。。。罗斯福是连任四届，死在第四任上，之后美国宪法加了修正案，限制了连任，在这之前都没有法律上的规定。所以我没想到好原因。。大概是总统太累所以要限制吧。。。普京也是大家都支持他修改法律让自己连任，但是他自己不干，当了总理但是可能下回还来竞选。所以肯定还有深层次的原因我没有考虑到。。。分领域不知道怎么分，因为没有理由说服我其他领域不会存在同样的问题只是可能没有政治那么尖锐。一般都是有任期，只不过做的好一直连任了。

今天我也写了这篇，谈到压力、健康的时候也查了罗斯福的例子~~
呵呵，也没找到合适的例子~
你什么时候要是改了，就发上来再讨论吧
