研究：内向的人更可能成为成功的CEO
Introverts are more likely to be successful CEOs, study claims
Getting up early, wearing the same clothes every day, eating eggs for breakfast… there are various thing we're told CEOs do that may hold the keys to their success.
早早起床,每天穿一样的衣服,早餐吃鸡蛋……我们得知首席执行官们做的这些五花八门的事情也许是他们成功的关键.
But what if the one thing the most successful have in common is in fact not something they do but the way they are?
但如果最成功的首席执行官的共同之处其实不是他们做了什么,而是他们做事的方式呢？
The results of a new study certainly suggest this is the case. And the shared attribute? Introversion.
一项新研究的结果告诉我们,的确是这样.而他们共有的特点是什么？那就是内向.
Researchers from ghSmart, a Chicago-based consultancy firm, spent ten years analysing the personalities of 2,000 CEOs and reached the conclusion that the majority of the successful ones were introverts.
总部位于芝加哥的咨询公司ghSmart的研究人员花费了10年时间分析了2000位首席执行官的性格,并得出结论说,大部分成功的首席执行官都是内向的人.
This flies in the face of the image most people have of a typical charismatic, confident, extroverted leader.
在大多数人的眼中,领导都是有魅力、有自信的外向者,而研究结果与此不同.
The study, called the CEO Genome Project, includes a test anyone can do to find out whether they have what it takes to be a CEO.
这项研究名为CEO基因组计划,其中包括一项任何人都可以参与的测试,来发现他们做一名首席执行官是否称职.
"When we flip on the news, or check our social media feeds, we are bombarded with images of well-groomed, Ivy league-educated icons of the Fortune 100," the study authors write. "And we can't help but think, I could never be them.
研究报告的作者写道："当我们浏览新闻,或者查阅社交媒体信息时,我们看到的都是衣冠楚楚、常春藤盟校毕业、上榜财富100的偶像.我们不禁这样想,自己永远也成不了其中一员."
