風險與機遇
公司兩年多前在西藏拉薩承接了一所五星級酒店工程，派出一支團隊到拉薩長駐兩年，願意去高原工作的，多半抱著順道到處遊歷的心態，玩夠了支撐不住便要求調職或干脆辭職。項目後半期從成都來了位年青貌美、活潑開朗的文員，大學時讀的是室內設計，本來不怪，到拉薩玩嘛。後來業主裝飾部向她招手，待遇及工作性質都較現職優勝，就是不去留在不對口的機電公司當文員。當時心想天下有如此怪事？後來恍然大悟，原來美女看中公司年青工程師。此工程師才高八斗，是近年少見的能人。兩情相悅，互相傾慕，本是好事，但情事被上海家中兩老發現，要求青年斷絶交往，項目結束後回上海找對象。青年情急，向女友表白情況，美女當天收拾細軟，第二天立即飛回家。常言道：「婚姻是戀愛的墳墓，沒有婚姻的愛情是死無葬身之地 !」 這對戀人之後各找「墓地」去。青年本可抱得美人歸，很明顯在這危急時機，沒有準備好，幸事成了憾事。 機遇有個孖生兄弟 – 風險。若眼前不是吊着棵紅蘿蔔，那會勇往直前挺而走險。生活中常遇風險，選擇結婚對象、轉往更好的工作、接受新任務新挑戰，都存在對美好未來的憧憬。不知是你判斷力差還是配偶的假身技術好，婚結了後總覺得貨不對辦，但為時已晚，只能長嗟短嘆，黙黙承受。

If you have recently been promoted and are now leading a team, you have the chance to transform yourself from a competent manager into a true leader. But it’s all too easy for leaders to slip unconsciously into poor behaviour without realising it.
