PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) How to Be a Leader At a moment when we are waiting to see whether we have elected a President or a leader, it is worth examining the differences between the two. For not every president is a leader, but every time we elect a President we hope for one, especially in times of doubt and crisis. In easy times we are ambivalent----the leader, after all, makes demands, challenges the status quo, shakes things up. Leadership is as much a question of timing as anything else. The leader must appear on the scene at a moment when people are looking for leadership ,as Churchill did in 1940, as Roosevelt did in 1933, as Lenin in 1917. And when he comes, he must offer a simple, eloquent message. Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who cut through argument, debate and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand and remember. Churchill warned the British to expect “blood, toil, tears and sweat”, FDR told Americans that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself “; Lenin promised the war-weary Russians peace, land and bread. Straightforward but potent messages. It also helps for a leader to be able to do something most of us can’t: FDR overcame polio; Mao swam the Yangtse River at the age of 72. We don’t want our leaders to be “just like us.” We want them to be like us but better, special, more so. Yet if they are too different, we reject them. Adlai Stevenson was too cerebral. Nelson Rockfeller, too rich. Above all, he must dignify our desires, convince us that we are taking part in the making of great history, give us a sense of glory about oursel
