Decisions, Decisions
决策，决心
Don't be so overwhelmed by the number of difficult choices that you make none at all. It's OK as a manager to operate a "selective democracy" in which you take a sampling of views to get input, but don't include everyone in the process.
不要被那些根本不需要你拿主意的困难抉择而打败。你也可以用“民主选择”的方式收集几个人的意见，然后整理给经理，让他来做决策，在整个过程中并不需要每个人都顾及到。
"Overly nice guys are too enamored with trying to get everyone involved."
“滥好人都太执着于试图让每个人都参与进来。”
The Courage to Speak Up
敢于说出来的勇气
Learn to find a comfortable place between speaking up about a problem -- and those responsible for it -- and maintaining respect for others.
学会在说出一个问题以及要承担的相关责任之间找到一个舒服的位置，并且要尊重他人。
"You want to be able to demonstrate you have skills to have the 'courageous discussion' and confront and disarm a situation without it becoming very ugly."
你要能够证明在一个问题变得非常难看之前你有面对困难、有讨论的勇气以及有解决问题的能力。
Risks Lead to Rewards
冒险给你带来回报
Don't be afraid to take a risk by putting your great idea or proposal out there. At the same time, find a way to do so that suits your personal style.
不要害怕把你的好想法和提案说出来会承担风险。同时，也要找到一种符合你性格的方法来这样做。
"Are you someone who's going to walk up to the CEO and say, 'This is what I like and this is what I don't like about the company,' or someone who has to float an idea by 60 people? What if you have a great idea and your manager doesn't want to hear it? Do you go around him?"
“你是否经常走进CEO办公室，跟他说‘这些方面让我喜欢公司，而这些则让我讨厌’？还是说你的一个想法要去询问60个人的意见？如果你有个很棒的主意而你的经理不采纳怎么办？你是否会和他激烈地讨论？”
Win-Win Situation
双赢的情况
If you come up with the goods to qualify for a promotion or land new business for the company, accept your good fortune.
如果你符合了晋升的条件或者为公司谈了一笔新生意，那就坦然接受你的好运吧。
"You have a right to win," Edelman says. "So many overly nice guys will compromise their success and their companies' to avoid hurting someone else's feelings. They would rather lose themselves than see one of their friends or colleagues lose out on the situation."
Edelman说：“你有赢的权利，而有的滥好人会为了怕伤害到其他人的感情而放弃了自己的成功，也给公司带来了伤害。他们宁愿自己失败也不愿意看到一个朋友或同事出局。”
