Not long ago, chief executive officers(CEOS)were landed as heroes, leaders of the brave new economy. Bill Gates and Jack Welch were the two most celebrated American CEOs, hailed as geniuses, superstars and revolutionaries.
But since Eaton and other scandals, Americans don’ t need much convincing when it comes to mistrusting business leaders. A recent poll in Investor’ s Business Daily found that only eight percent of Americans have high confidence in the honesty and integrity of corporate CEOs, and only four percent hold CEOs in ’ high esteem’.
In today’ s CEO-bashing environment, executives’ actions ate more scrutinized and regulated than ever before.
In the USA, congress has passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which among other things, requires CEOs to personally certify to the accuracy of the company’ s accounts. In Britain, investment banker Derek Higgs has proposed a new code of corporate governance, spelling out new responsibilities and liabilities for executives and boards of directors.
Fortune has praised the ’ new breed’ of CEO: the latest crop pf CEOs is disciplined, deferential, even a bit dull. Less self-reliant, today’ s CEOs turn to counselors to help ’ rehab behavior’ to become self-aware, ever-improving and ’ the opposite of the Eronesque narcissist’. The opportunity to run a major company used to be an executive’ s highest aspiration. Now more than half of senior executives surveyed said they would turn down the CEO position.
It happens that most CEOs have decided to lie low, hoping that the storm will pass. The Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs, has been relatively quiet of late; as Fortune reported, during key debates the organization ’ chose to work behind the scenes - and mostly to water down reforms ’.
Some might feel little affinity with CEOs—their roles are not, after all, altruistic(利他的)or public-serving ones. But in slamming CEOs, critics often knock values worth defending in everyone —like leadership, individual achievement and ambition. Even the pursuit of self-interest and simply wanting more can be progressive. On the other hand, caution and modesty have their place, but they are not likely to produce innovative technology, build great cities or fight disease.
Geniuses, superstars, revolutionaries—we could do with some.
The new-generation CEOs show the following qualities except______.
选项
A、strong self-control
B、willingness to improve
C、high self-admiration
D、less self-dependent
答案
C
解析
文中未提及C项。第五段第二句提到“Less self-reliant,today’s CEOs…become self-aware,ever—improving and‘the opposite of the Eronesque narcissist’.”。“self—aware”与A项相符,都表示自我控制能力。“ever-improving”与B项相符,都表示自我提升能力。“less self—reliant”与D项相符,都表示更少的自力更生能力。
