Some of the things extraordinary people do every day:

非凡的人每天都会做的事。

They are open to criticism

他们乐于接受批评

Just because you’re the boss, doesn’t mean you are right every time. It doesn’t mean you have the best ideas. Learn to back up your ideas or decisions with reason. Use logic to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.

你是老板，但这不表示你每次都对，不表示你的想法最好。学着用理性来支持你的想法或决定。运用逻辑来解释事情，而不是运用权威。这样的话你的决策可能会引发批评，但是你却得到了提高的机会。

They admit their mistakes

他们都承认错误

My friend’s boss made a huge mistake by tying up with an event management company. The whole purpose of the tie-up was to promote his company but it failed miserably. Instead of defending his idea and carrying on as if nothing happened, he apologized to the team for not including them in the decision making. It’s OK to admit you were wrong. You will not only gain the respect of your teammates, but you will also gain credibility.

我朋友的老板犯了个大错，他把公司和一个活动管理公司合并了，本来合并是为了提升他的公司，谁知道最后竟是悲惨的结局。他没有为自己的想法辩护，没装作什么也没有发生，而是因自己在做决策时没有考虑到团队的意见而向他们道歉。承认自己做错了没什么大不了。你不仅会获得团队成员的尊敬，而且也会赢得信誉。
