Write a response in which you discuss theextent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on whichthat claim is based. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The speaker asserts that the key to beingsuccessful for any enterprise is to let those in power step down after fiveyears. I strongly agree that changing the leader of an enterprise can energizeits morale and working atmosphere for making a difference to its success. Yet peoplehave to take into account that this won’t pose a threaten to its currentcircumstances. I am inclined to support the idea that revitalizingthrough changed leadership may establishing a disparate working space leadingto success from two aspects. Firstly, Occupying in one position will not bebeneficial to tackle the problem of corruption and abusing their powers, whichwill do damage to its former brilliance. Due to the seduction of searching for powerand leaders cheaper salaries, comparing with businessman, especially in politicfield, some leaders will destroy the base of the nation’s development. Ifsomeone taking the place of them, these problems will be solved and the newpresident must plan some privilege policies for continuous selection. Inaddition, an innovative leader will also bring about altered working styles,incurring a new trend of this company, even the whole industry. ConsideringSteve Jobs, a brilliant CEO blessed with infinite creativity, saved the companyAPPLE he founded from bankrupt through his unique aesthetic perspective and themind full of humanity. The products he invented, IPHONE, IPAD and so forth, ledus to a different IT world, brought the subscribers to a more enjoyable dailylife and eventually took APPLE to the top of the industry it belongs to. With onlyold notions and limited thoughts of a leader, the enterprise and its employeeswill lose their impassion to create and work. Coupled with eradicating theproblems and bringing about altered working atmosphere is the progress of a field’sfuture development which will take place repeatedly by supervising flaws ofthose in power and end with a prosperous field.
Although enormous treasures arising fromthe revitalization, I have to add an exception, contrary to the author’snotion, that sometimes a continuous leader in power will contribute to bringinga long-term policy in some fields into force. If the leader, inventing thepolicy, left his position, the alternative one may change his developing planof this organization, resulting in a waste of a great policy and loss ofindividuals’ privileges. For example, Deng Xiaoping, the former president of P.R.C,the designer of the policy of reformation of openness, held the politic powerfor quite a long time actually. Without his persistence on taking measures toimplement this policy and some regulations relevant, PRC would have been a poorand closed country like the Soviet Union now, let alone these amazing developingspeed of economy and the rise of international status. Ignoring the detailedcircumstances in progress, solely transforming the presidents is not a wiseaction for stockholders and citizens. To sum up, admittedlysometimes due to the executing time of a policy, it is not necessary to converta leader immediately. Yet an alternative of leadership is a usual and essentialaction for an enterprise healthy and energetic growth. |
