TOPIC: ISSUE70 - "In any profession-business, politics, education, government-those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership."
WORDS: 505 TIME: 0:45:00 DATE: 2007-7-26
With the development of the society, the competition among enterprises, countries are becoming more and more drastic. How can an enterprise or a state keep successful in the competition? I strongly agree with the speaker's statement that the groups, no matter in business, politics, education or government, should change their leader in an interval of five years, because by doing this the enterprise can have the possibility to succeed in long run. Otherwise, the long-term leadership will lead to dictatorship and the abuse of power.
There's no flawless person in this world, thus no one can make justifiable judgment for all time. Success, fame and money, awe and respect from subordinate may seduce the wise and calm-minded leader to corruption and decadence. Long-term leadership will breed Absolutism, Autocracy and Dictatorship. These make things worse by provide the leader enough time and power to abuse his authority. History is replete with examples to illustrate this point. Francisco Frinco, who monopolized Spain from 1939 to 1975, made Spain a hardship on its development. Because of his dictatorship, Benito Mussolini was killed by people in Italy and his body was hung upside down on meat hooks on Pizzale Loreto in Milan. Joseph Stalin's dictatorship in Soviet Union was generally accepted as the destruction of victory after the victory. In short, long-term leadership will cause many undesirable results and is extremely harmful to a group.
Things are quite different when periodic change in leadership is introduced in a group. By appointing a new leader who brings new competition mechanism, the group will be replete with fresh blood and new leading ideology. In addition, the new leader will take new ways of leading and managing, which makes the group keep in touch with the changing time. Consider George Washington, the president of USA for example. Washington refused to run for a third presidential term when he was at the height of his power and splendor, establishing the precedent of a maximum of two terms for a president. His behavior initiated this precedent thus made USA gain a lot of treasures such as Democracy, Republic and Liberty. Consequently, periodic change in leadership will give the group success doubtlessly.
Five years is a proper tenure for a group to change its leader. Longer terms will ossify the group and shorter term will create instability. Hence absolutely stable and rash alternation never makes success in any group. In order to maintain relatively stable and at the same time prevent rigidity. A group should have a proper period to change their leader to keep success. Five year is just a proper period.(你是在完全同意吗? 一般大家都说不要观点绝对是因为issue题目通常都是有两方面的,都照顾到了才证明思维严谨; 这里同意五年风险太大了,因为要证明5年在哪都好,这个问题需要大量的数据和调查)
In sum, I believe the a group, whether in business, politics, education or government have to renew their leadership in a proper period of time, because to much time in an position will lead to dictatorship and the abuse of power, and the new leadership can change this situation by bringing new managing and leading method to the group. Only by doing can this group keep its success in the competition.
