Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first,” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.
1. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?
A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.
B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.
C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms.
D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.
2. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ?
A. When people have little determination , they will be successful.
B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.
C. If people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed.
D. If people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed.
3. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?
A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.
B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.
C. They can not adjust themselves.
D. First personally they must manage themselves .
4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”?
A. Bright future. B. Good beginning. C. Good scenery. D. Pretty background.

A. They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness.

Then，consider this：you might be in a state of subhealth (亚健康)．
Subhealth，also called the third state or gray state，is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation (调查) by the National Health Organization，over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middleaged or elderly.The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy，depression (压抑)，slow reactions，insomnia (失眠)，agitation (焦虑)，and poor memory.Other symptoms include shortness of breath，sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth，according to some medical experts，is to form good living habits，alternate work and rest，exercise regularly，and take part in openair activities.
As for meals，people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.They should eat more fresh vegetables，fruit and fish because they are rich in nutritional (营养的) elements—vitamins and trace elements (微量元素)—that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道)．They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
