Leadership has become a spectator sport in Arizona. Every flourishing region needs people who act as its stewards. Such leaders see the big picture. They seek visionary solutions that transcend boundaries. They care deeply about the long-term well being of their places. Arizonians have only to admire the advocacy of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in the days after the New York terrorist attacks to appreciate the powerful role of such leaders, whose passion for their locales leads them to constantly innovate in service of the long-term economic and social success of their regions.
Unfortunately, most Arizonians do not see the state having that kind of leadership today. In fact, less than a quarter of the respondents to a recent statewide survey believe the state’s business and elect leaders care deeply about Arizona’s future. Instead, they deemed them pre occupied with narrow interests and single-issue agendas.
What Arizonians describe is a traditional style of leadership, says Doug Henton, author of the book Grassroots Leaders for a New Economy. Henton believes that Arizona, like many places, has begun to see the limitations of traditional forms of leadership. He argues that the CEOs of major corporations, ballot initiative promoters, neighborhood activists and ethnic community leaders who work on single issues--whether tax cuts, a football stadium or desert preservation--remain essential to states and communities. However, he notices that frequently many of those conventional leaders lack the big picture or have a hard time linking their efforts with those of others.
This is where stewards come in. In contrast with single-issue leaders, stewards have 360 degree vision, recognizing the interdependencies between the economy, environment and social equity. They are in it for the long haul. They build coalitions. But again: stewards of place seem harder to find in Arizona than elsewhere, and that is a problem. Fewer people in Arizona than in many other states have deep roots here. Meanwhile, Arizona’s shortage of major corporate headquarters, combined with the quickening pace of corporate relocations, mergers and acquisitions, reduces the number of long term civic leaders with long-standing networks in diverse communities.
And so Arizona would do well to seek out and nurture a new brand of regional leader: the stewards. They are out there. Despite executive churn, Arizona boasts plenty of potential leaders, no matter how you count them. Many of that next generation of leaders, moreover, may simply be undiscovered. These potential stewards, prominent among emerging networks of Latinos. Entrepreneurs or Gen Xers, may simply be unknown as yet to the establishment.
In the meantime, though, one thing is sure: without a new job description for leadership and energetic stewards to answer it, Arizona may not master the complex economic, education al and environmental challenges it faces.
The author concludes that, for Arizona to meet the current challenges effectively,______.
选项
A、the right environment should be created for regional leaders to work in
B、long-standing networks in diverse communities should be created
C、relationship between economy, education and the environment should be established
D、the issue of leadership should be addressed first
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。在文章最后一段讲到,有一件事是肯定的:如果领导对息已的任务不清楚,如果没有精力充沛的领导去做这些任务,亚利桑那州可能就无法解决它在经济、教育和环境问题上面临的复杂挑战。因此推断选项D是正确答案。
