A leader who does not get the talent no matter where it comes from is not likely to succeed.

没有获得人才的领导人不大可能取得成功 无论这人才来自何处

Talent exists beyond the Ivy schools. Talent exists in “lower” schools.

不只有常春藤联盟的学校才有人才 稍微“差”一些的学校同样有人才

Talent exists in people who have never gone to school.

从未上过学的人也可能是人才

Whether you’re a woman, whether you’re some other ethnicity, it’s the talent we ought to look into.

无论性别 无论种族 我们关注的只有人才

So my first item is to look into raw talent.

所以我的第一条就是寻找天生的人才

So we say there is talent in diverse people.

我们说各种人都可能是人才

Age has nothing to do with it.

这与年龄无关

A 90-year-old can do the algorithmic planning today from India, so no discrimination of age either.

现在一名90岁的老人也可以在印度做算法规划 所以不要歧视年龄

You can be young, you can be very senior. If you have energy, great.

你可以是花季少年 也可以是耄耋老人 如果你还有精力 很好

Now we ask the question: why these are not progressing fast enough?

现在我们问个问题：为什么这些前进的如此之慢？

First I want to tell you about the boards.

首先 我想跟大家说说董事会

If you have a hundred men, not all the hundred are going to be on the boards.

以一百人为例 并不是这一百人都能进董事会

They’re going to be a small percentage. Why?

只有很少一部分人可以 为什么？

Because there are certain characteristics in these people that make them good board members.

因为这些人身上有某些特点 让他们很适合当董事会成员

Now, there could be some mistakes, but the fact is only a few of the hundred are going to be on the boards,

当然 也可能存在一些误解 但事实是 一百人中只有少数几个能够进入董事会

and they develop certain kind of skills, so I want to tell you what those skills are.

他们会培养出某些技能 我想告诉大家这些技能是什么

And if you don’t have those skills you’re not going to get there.

如果你没有这些技能 你就无法成为董事会成员

The first and foremost skill of a board member is to be able to ask the right questions.

董事会成员最重要的技能就是能够问出正确的问题

Most people don’t know how to ask the right questions.

多数人不知道怎么问正确的问题

Number two is to be able to understand the financial side of the business.

第二就是能够理解商业的金融面

Business acumen is mandatory.

商业头脑必不可少

To be able to read in a proper way the balance sheet, the P&L, the competitions, the trends,

能够正确解读资产负债表 损益表 竞争 趋势

it’s a special skill how to diagnose them to the root.

能够彻底分析它们是一项很特殊的技能

If you don’t have it you’re not going to succeed.

如果你没有这个能力 你就无法成功

Women succeed to the board who have these skills, and they become chairpersons of the audit committee.

成功进入董事会的女性 她们拥有这些技能 就能成为审计委员会的主席

They are in high demand. This is the route.

社会对这种人的需求很高 这就是方法

And then obviously you have to have leadership skills and poise doing that.

然后很明显 要做到这些 你得有领导能力和姿态

So we need to create these training programs inside over time, get these people to run a profit and loss statement,

所以我们需要经常在内部进行这种培训项目 让他们可以尽快经营损益表

company product line, country as soon as possible and give them coaching.

公司生产线 国家 并给予他们辅导

Once they get to P&L and succeed they will be eligible to move up very fast.

一旦他们弄懂了损益表并取得成功 他们就有资格快速晋升

We are not doing that. Search for raw talent and train them separately, but on those items.

但现在我们并没有这么做 寻找天生的人才并进行特殊训练 但训练的一定要是这些技能

Because you have to work a little bit more to find this talent that can be molded.

因为你必须得努力一点才能找到可以塑造的天才

In the men’s side it’s been going on for decades, but again, it’s going to be very few out of a lot of people who are going to get there.

就男人而言 几十年来都是这样 但再说一次 很多人中只有极少数人才能成功

The talent is in shortage. Look for the talent.

天才很匮乏 寻找天才

Seek the talent, and develop the talent.

搜寻天才 并培养他们
