领导类的话题考的不多，但是一旦考到了我们也需要有内容写，平时没有积累的话当然不行。以下就是06年开始的到现在关于leader话题的考题：

　　难度系数四颗星

　　Do you agree or disagree: The most important characteristic for a

politician or leader is good communication ability.

　　Do you agree or disagree: Talented people’s leadership is born by natural

and can’t be learned by people.

　　Do you agree or disagree: The quality that an effective leader must have is

that they need to make decisions quickly. When leaders take too much time to

make decisions they will be seen as ineffective by the people they lead.

　　Agree or disagree: The effective leader tries to make others feel they have

been part of a decision.

　　Agree or disagree: A leader should admit if they made a bad decision.

　　Agree or disagree： It is the most important character of a policies or

business leader to accept the responsibility of mistake.

　　第一步： 我们先来来看一个好的开头

　　Leadership is “one of the most observed and least understood phenomena on

earth”, wrote one man in a position to know. There is a visceral fascination

with leaders and their character, and with the great issue that surrounds them:

can they be made or are they only ever born?

　　许多同学常常会纠结于如何写一个吸引眼球的开头，这篇文章就是个非常典型的“格言

+提问开头”，类似于托福文章开头中的background的部分，然后我们只需要再在后面加上一句表达自己观点的句子，这就可以作为一个比较好的开头放在写作中了。

　　第二步：看一下对主体段展开有用的素材：

　　There is no general agreement about the qualities of a leader ：

　　Field Marshal Montgomery thought that a leader “must have infectious

optimism, and the determination to persevere in the face of difficulties. He

must also radiate confidence, even when he himself is not too certain of the

outcome”.

　　David Ogilvy, founder of an advertising agency, and himself a leader of

some quality, said: Great leaders almost always exude self-confidence. They are

never petty. They are never buck-passers. They pick themselves up after defeat …

The great leaders I have known have been curiously complicated men.

　　第三步：我们来写点东西：

　　Whatever the fields of working, one thing is certain: excellent

communication skill solely can hardly be the exclusive criterion to evaluate

one’s performance in leadership. Without infectious optimism and the

determination to persevere in the face of difficulties, one may fail to steer

his team out of troubles. Without radiating confidence in front of uncertainties

and challenges, one may only end up witnessing a destabilizing effect on a

workforce and projected efficiencies undelivered.

　　第四步：关于写好上面的问题我们仍然需要知道的素材：

　　The leadership of people like Alfred P. Sloan, the legendary boss of

General Motors, however, owed more to the structure and systems that they put in

place in their organizations than it did on the individual's personality.

　　Henry Ford II 's success in revitalizing his family's firm after the Second

World War depended largely on his reorganization of the company. The man himself

was a jet-setting playboy who rarely met the David Ogilvy standards of a great

leader.

　　第五步：我们仍然需要一个总结：

　　Leadership 其实不一定来自于先天的 Personality，后天的 Management 也是绝对一个领导成功与否的重要因素。

　　So anyway, a talented people’ leadership is not so much a quality born by

nature as a skill acquired by training. Because leaders and managers are

basically different, the conditions favorable to one may be inimical to the

growth of the other.
