ide the mind of the leaders. Kets de Vries here describes the psychological profile of successful CEOs. He explores top executives' vulnerabilities.

You've studied the psychology of leaders in your whole life. How do you identify the successful ones？

The first thing I look for is emotional intelligence — basically how self-reflective is the person？ Of course, emotional intelligence involves a lot more than just being introspective. It also involves what I call the teddy bear factor. Do people feel comfortable with you？ Do they want to be close to you？ An emotionally intelligent leader also knows how to single people out and say, "Hey; Deborah, you are special. I've looked a long time for you." In general, emotionally intelligent leaders tend to make better team players, and they are more effective at motivating themselves and others. Furthermore, leaders do not always learn skill of emotional intelligence on the job. Of course, over the years, I've met highly successful executives who are not self- reflective at all. They are total doers. You have to be a doer to make it in business.

Nevertheless, in my experience, the most effective leaders are able to both act and reflect, which prepares them to manage for the long term.

Do the background of successful leaders you've studied have anything in common？

There is evidence that many successful male leaders had strong, supportive mothers and rather remote, absent fathers. This is beautifully exemplified by Jack Welch, who in his autobiography, describes his attachment to a powerhouse of a mother and depicts his father, a train conductor, as pleasant enough but not very present. However, when it comes to women, it's harder to explain what makes for success. But it does seem that the model for great women leaders is more complicated than that of great male leaders. As with the men, some strong women leaders had powerful, supportive mothers. But others had powerful fathers.

Would you say that culture plays a role in determining what type of leader you have？

Certainly, different cultures have very different expectations of leaders. In America, for instance, a leader is a big shot. He takes himself very seriously, and other people regard him as a kind of support. In Dutch culture, a leader is someone who suffers. A leadership style. that would be effective in Sweden, for example, may be quite malfunctional in Russia. On the other hand, corporate culture varies enormously as well, and companies differ in how they regard factors such as power, status, and hierarchy. There are also great differences in the way executives from various national cultures look at control and authority.

You often write that executives are irrational. What do you mean by that？

Well, ff you study executives, you quickly see that they don't behave rationally all the time. Indeed, irrational behavior. is common in organizational life. The mental health of senior executives is very subtle. They can't be too crazy or they generally don't make it to senior positions, but they are nonetheless extremely driven people. But executives don't like to hear this, they like to think they are totally in control.

Now to sum up, what is your prescription for healthy leadership？

Self-awareness and a well-rounded personal life, as well as an ability to suffer fools and laugh at yourself.

？ You will hear an interview with Dr. Kets de Vries, a psychologist on leadership.

听力原文：Susan: Good morning, my name is Susan Smith. I'm a personnel manager. You are Tom Swain from England. Is that right？

Tom: Yes, I saw the advertisement about the job in yesterday's paper.

Susan: Well, Mr. Swain, I'd like to talk about your personality. You know, the right personality is essential for the job, and we'll give you some psychological tests later on. Perhaps you would like to tell me a little about yourself.

Tom: Certainly. What would you like to know？

Susan: Well, you know, human relations are going to be particularly important in this job. Tell me do you get on well with people？

Tom: Very well indeed. I'm never short of friends.

Susan: Good. Sometimes, though, you may have to be very tough, for example, you may have to sack someone. Would you say that you are capable of being really hard？

Tom: If something has to be done, I'll do it.

Susan: You studied Management Sciences in the UK, didn't you？ By the way, what type of degree did you get？

Susan: Tell me, how many foreign languages do you speak？

Tom: Three, French, Spanish and some Arabic, oh I've started learning Japanese.

Susan: You'll have to work abroad a lot. And that can be very frustrating sometimes. Would you say that you are a patient person？

Tom: Yes, and I would say that I'm a very patient person. I've never seen the point in losing one's temper.

Susan: It's very good. Can you keep a secret？ A lot of the information you'll be dealing with will be classified.

Tom: It will be quite safe with me.

Susan: And then you'll have a lot of reports to write. Often under pressure. Do you think you can write for a deadline？

Tom: I usually get things finished on time. The pressure often helps.

Susan: Oh, and have you got a good memory？ That's essential.

Read the article about interview below.

Choose the best sentence to fill in each of the gaps.

For each gap 8—12, mark one letter (A—G) on your Answer Sheet.

Do not use any letter more than once.

There is an example at the beginning.

Have a Successful Interview

The aim of a job interview is to C This is not only a matter of having the necessary technical knowledge and skills. You must also have the motivation, the ability to adapt to new ways of working and to a new work environment, and the personality to do the job and fit into a new team. The ability to cope with stress and get on with people is essential. These include getting on with people, oral and written communication, team working, problem solving and good time management.

Most people think that interviewers know what they are looking for and will recognise it when they see it. (8)…This applies to recruiters as much as anyone else. In fact, a former head of selection at one big firm used to say that" some interviewers are so poor that they would do better to rely on chance! '

In companies which recognise this, various methods are used to try to find the right person. (9)…

Research has shown that this approach is more reliable than the ordinary job interview, though not as effective as using personality tests or assessment centres.

In a structured interview the interviewer groups the qualities listed in the job specification under various headings. There are two well-established structures for this: the National Institute of Industrial Psychology's Seven-Point Plan and the Five-Fold Grading System. Both these systems cover factors such as physical appearance, qualifications, general intelligence, motivation and previous experience. (10)…

However, they should not give equal weight to each one. Some factors are more important in one job than another. For example, physical appearance and manner will be more important in a sales position than in a researcher who works behind the scenes. It is also a fact that the impact the candidate makes in the first three or four minutes of an interview is of major importance. (11)…A decision not to hire is often made during those first few minutes.

It is not always possible to tell whether structured interview techniques are being used if interviewers ask questions systematically, using some kind of checklist, and occasionally make a brief note, they probably are. On the other hand, if the interviewer goes through your application form. to confirm what you have already said, or asks irrelevant questions, or jumps from one topic to another, the interview is unlikely to be structured. Before you attend any interview, look again at the job description and the personal specification. (12)…If you already have a mental list of the key points that you need to mention, you are unlikely to waste time giving irrelevant information or to omit important points in your favour.

A Study them closely and assess what your interviewer will be looking for.

B However, people are actually not very good at assessing one another.

C establish whether you are likely to do well in a particular job in a specific organization.

D Although a favourable impression may be reversed later in the interview, a negative impression is rarely changed.

E The most common is the structured interview.

F The effectiveness of the interviewer can be improved by training.

G For each of these areas the interviewers score candidates against how well they fit the job specification.
