I find that too often leaders can act like fast-driving bus drivers. They will run over anyone―even their own employees―to reach their goal. I know this well because early in my business career I was that kind of leader and I had to work hard to change my way.

I realized that any leader like this can create success in the short term, but not in the long term. As John Maxwell said, "If you are all alone at the top, you are not a leader. You are a hiker. ,, No one creates success alone. To win in business? you must win with people. To create true and lasting suc?cess, you must invest(投资)in your people. Here are three ways to do this.

Care about them. If you do, they will be more likely to stay on the bus and work with you. Employees are more engaged in work and will work at their highest potential(潜能)when their manager cares about them.

Develop a relationship with them. Author Andy Stanley once said, "Rules without relationships lead to rebellion(叛逆)."If managers focus less on rules and invest more in their work relationships, the result will be an increase in team performance.

For example, Doug Conant, the CEO of Campbell Soup, has written more than 16,000 thank-you notes to employees in the past seven years for their work and created a very positive business. It's as easy as saying "Thank you".

   Remember, leadership is not just about what you do, but about what you can encourage others to do. Instead of running over the people in your team, in?vite them to get on the bus to help you create a successful ride.

Perhaps you think you could easily add to your hap?piness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue (问题)is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires―not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.

Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty ca?pacities (育 g 力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没)with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut(茅屋).

Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅),a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm (热情)adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.

Art should be a desire for you to develop simply be?cause the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.

Literature* classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go to?wards making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.

Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be ab?sent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.

Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more hu?man* and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.

Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
