【学习如同练瑜伽，贵在坚持。一天十分钟，每周一小时，积沙成山。从今天开始王家骢老师与你一起阅读《德鲁克日志》。为了帮助读者正确理解彼得德鲁克的管理思想，特将原文附录在后，以便大家参考。文章最后，我们将提出自己的问题，并于次日分享读书心得。】

组织的精神是自上而下树立起来的。

当考察管理者是否诚信时，人们必定会非常重视他人品是否正直。这一点必定首先会在管理者的“人事任用”上体现出来。因为领导者正是通过其正直的人品，才能够实现其领导。领导者也正是通过其正直的人品，才树立了别人效仿的榜样。在人品这一点上，人们无法弄虚作假。一个领导者的同事尤其是他的下属们只要和领导者共事几周，就会知道他是否正直。他们可以原谅别人的无能、疏忽、缺乏安全感甚至粗鲁无礼。但是他们却无法宽恕别人不正直，他们也无法宽恕领导者选用不够正直的人。

这一点对企业最高领导层的重要性是勿庸置疑的，因为一个组织的精神是自上而下树立起来的。如果一个组织富有精神，那是因为它的最高领导者精神崇高。如果一个组织腐败，其根源在它的最高领导者。正所谓“上梁不正下梁歪”，如果一个员工的人品不能成为其下属效仿的榜样，最高领导者就绝不应该将他提拔到重要的工作岗位上。

行动指南

当得到工作机会时要仔细考量公司的首席执行官和其他高层管理者的人品修养。使自己能和正直的人在一起共事。

讨论：如果你是一名员工，你学到了什么？？如果你是一位领导者，你有哪些感悟？为什么正直如此重要？领导力源自哪里？

Integrityin leadership

Thespirit of an organization is created from the top.

Theproof of the sincerity and seriousness of a management is uncompromisingemphasize on integrity of character. This, above all, has to be symbolized inmanagement‘s “people” decisions. For it is character through which leadershipis exercised; it is character that sets the example and is imitated. Characteris not something one can fool people about. The people with whom a personworks, and especially subordinates, know in a few weeks whether he or she hasintegrity or not. They may forgive a person for a great deal: incompetence,ignorance, insecurity, or bad manners. But they will not forgive a person lackof integrity in that person. Nor will they forgive a higher management forchoosing him.

Thisis particularly true of the people at the head of an enterprise. For the spiritof an organization is created from the top. If an organization is great inspirit，it is becausethe spirit of its top people is great. If it decays, it does so because the toprots. As the proverb has it “trees die from the top”. No one should ever beappointed to a senior position unless top management is willing to have his orher character serve as the model for subordinates.

Action point: evaluate the character of the CEO andtop management when considering a job offer. Align yourself with people whohave integrity.
