Passage1 Reading leadership literature, you ’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader. 读领导文学，你有时会认为每个人都有可能成为 一个有效的领导者。 I don ’t believe that to be true. In fact, I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who arc sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities. 我不相信这是真的。事实上，我认为 真正有效的领导者的方式比我看到的人都陷在领导的职位上， 遗憾的是他们自己的能力不称 职，严重误导了他们。 Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to （追求） leadership in the first place. 对产生这种现象的原因一部分是 由那些渴望缺乏诚实的自我评估（追求）放在首位的领导 Weve all met the type of individual who simply must take charge.
