每一轮MBA的申请,都会有不少同学在挑领导力故事素材的时候卡住,抓耳挠腮,怎么也想不起自己有啥高光时刻。

其实,对于有工作经验的申请人来说,最能体现领导力的地方一定是在工作中。但有时发生在办公室的情况是这样的:因为和同事观点不同,争执不休,不知道应该怎么说服对方,最后变成打嘴仗。之所以会吵架可能只是单纯为了把事情做好而着急,但实际心底也很想搞明白,怎么把这样的情况变成有领导力的解决问题呢?

这里教你一招,参考Amazon的14LeadershipPrinciples和相关问题,不光提升领导力认知,还可以帮我们brainstorm工作中的领导力时刻。有时候即使自己拼命想也很难有收获,但是看到相关的启发提问时,你也许会灵光一现,想到自己也有类似的故事。同时,在准备Leadershipessay的过程中,你也会对领导力更有研究,甚至恍然大悟哎,上次和Mr.She因为工作而吵架,其实我应该这样来处理更好呢。

那么,什么是Amazon14LeadershipPrinciples呢?都有哪些Principles可以参考呢?下面我们为大家一一解答。

1、什么是14LeadershipPrinciples?

Amazon这套14LeadershipPrinciples是它的FounderCEOJeffBezos创立,也是Amazon员工被鼓励的工作价值观,被誉为是驱使Amazon成功的因素之一。Amazon鼓励员工展现passion(激情)和有必要的confrontation(对峙)。他们非常重视创新,员工有时会彼此激烈竞争,来带动项目,展示对公司持续成功的贡献。所以在这种环境中成功,员工真的要展示不同一般的强大领导力。

Amazon会通过面试求职者这14个LeadershipPrinciples的相关问题,来看他们是不是fitAmazon的culture和value。很多北美在读及已毕业MBA,在准备Amazon或美国其他Corporate面试的时候,也会参考这14个LeadershipPrinciples的问题。早点熟悉了解,不光对MBA申请,对MBA求职也非常有帮助。
