3 under some conditions,we also need to compromise
I fundamentally agree with the speaker that an effective leader should stick to the particular principles and objectives. However., a contrary view could reveal that under some circumstances, the leader should also compromise the belief in response to the shifts in popular opinion.
In general, a mature leader is supposed to possess the fundamental principles and objectives which can never be altered by force from without. These beliefs are mainly about the ultimate political goal of the leader as well as the personal highest moral standard. An example concerns Mahatma Ganhdi-"the political and spiritual leader of India independence movement". In seeking the liberty of the India, he had suffered untold obstacle, depression and even torment . Nevertheless, he never doubted about his "nonviolent resistance principles" which is the essence of his political ideas. It was Ganhdi's unswerving insistent belief that ultimately points out the right direction for the Indian liberty struggles. Especially in times of disturbance, a powerful leader and his or his invariable political principles would serve as the beacon of the desperate civilian and could inspire them to achieve the victory. A fickle leader could never win the public confidence and trust.
In addition, in times of peace, a leader is actually a delegate for the a specific social group sharing the fundamental interest in common. His or her success rests on the amount of people in this group. Therefore the shifts of the political beliefs would result in the loss of the supports in the reason that they would doubt that whether their benefit will be protected by such a leader for a long time . In spite of the fickleness of the popular opinion, the leader are required at least to sustain
the basic interest or principles in order to keep his or her core advocate who are the key to his political life. Such is the most important and valuable merit of a statesman.
Although it is crucial for a leader to grab such principles, it does not necessarily mean an effective leader can ignore and dispel any challenges and contradiction against him, which will probably give rise to another extreme-autarchy. To avoid the eruption of the social conflicts or the potential war, a leader should also have some concession with the dissidents. For instance, after elected to be the president of the United States, though he was eager to abolish the cruel and devil slavery system at once through the whole country, Lincoln went to great length to mollify the intense atmosphere descending on the north and the south in order to impede a impending war between his own compatriots. Such is a statesman's intelligence that the temporary policy could be altered in the light of the circumstance with the ultimate principles remaining contained.
To sum up, on the one hand, in order to be an effective leader, he or she should possess the firm principles and objectives which is tied up with the adherents. And on the other hand, the ability of reconcilement with other political voice is also significant in seeking success. The outstanding leaders in the human history are inevitably such good mixers.

In general, a mature leader is supposed to possess the fundamental principles and objectives which can never be altered by force from without(这个词语好像不是很准确). These beliefs are mainly about the ultimate political goal of the leader as well as the personal highest moral standard.

His or her success rests on the amount of people in this group(这句话不能理解). Therefore the shifts of the political beliefs would result in the loss of the supports in the reason that they would doubt that whether their benefit will be protected by such a leader for a long time (therefor the in shifting political beliefs, which will ultimately lead to a changeable illusion in the supporters' minds, the leader is actually risking losing supports based on which he or she maintain power).

the basic interest or principles in order to keep his or her core advocate who are the key to his political life. Such(This) is the most important and valuable merit of a statesman.

写得挺不错的,但是在论证的论据上,可能还需要再组织一下。
