In the statement, the speaker claims that as an effective leader, one should remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives and not be quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion. I partly agree with this view. I think whether effective leaders should hold their opinion depends on whether their principles and objectives are correct.

On the one hand, if the principles and objectives which leaders remain consistently committed to is correct and will lead their followers to attain success, then it is very important for leaders to hold their belief and avoid being influenced by shifts in popular opinion. As a case in point, Winston Churchill, who is a household name as a successful political leader, became the prime minister of Great Britain in 1939 when German commenced to invade West Europe. In a very short time, Nazi conquered most countries in the West Europe, and British army reinforcing their allies was completely defeated and had to retreat back to Britain. Under such severe situation, most British fell into despair; some of them lost courage to resist the invaders and even advised that England should surrender to German like their allies in West Europe so as to prevent being assaulted. At the crucial time, holding the belief that British people would win this war at last, Churchill insisted on defending the country by force, and he used his powerful lecture to raise morale of citizens and soldiers. Encouraged by Churchill's great spiritual strength, British people finally defeated the Nazi invaders and made a great contribution to the ultimate victory in 1945. From this example, we can see that it is important for leaders to hold the correct principles and objectives. Consider if at that time Churchill were influenced by those who dared not to fight with enemy and gave up resistance, and then not only the destiny of England but also the result of the second war might be changed.

On the other hand, if what leaders hold is not right and will lead to a failure in the end, then insisting their wrong opinion is harmful. One should look no further than the King of Macedonia, Alexander, a famous militarist who led his army to conquer most of the world he knew and build a large empire. But after seizing the territory of Persia, many of his followers advised him to have a stop for the reason that his soldiers were too tired to take part in battles again. But Alexander did not adopt those good advices and insist on assaulting Hindu, finally, with the lost of so much prominent warriors, he paid out a high expense and failed to conquer the country. This vivid case provides leaders an important caveat that they must judge whether their principles and objectives are correct before they determine to hold them as their belief.

In sum, for effective leaders, if their particular principles and objectives are correct, then they should remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives and not be quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion. But if what they hold are wrong, then they should take advice from others.

文章的思路很清晰，邱吉尔和亚历山大的例子举得很恰当，语言上错误也很少，以这样的水平应付考试应该没什么太大问题。只是文章两个主要的论点都用例子来说明似乎缺乏一些推理的过程。建议在结尾之前再加一段补充，加强以下推理的分量。当然我不是高手，这纯属被人个人意见，希望能对你有所帮助。
