　　【让大家敢于说出自己内心真实的想法】

　　Many times leaders intimidate their colleagues with their title and power when they walk into a room. Successful leaders deflect attention away from themselvesand encourage others to voice their opinions（发表自己的观点）. They are experts at making others feel safe to speak-up and confidently share their perspectives and points of view. They use their executive presenceto create an approachable environment（营造出一种平易近人的环境）.

　　* approachable = friendly and easy to talk to (比cordial更合适，因为cordial会有些疏离感，属于国家之间的友好)

　　【让人们去思考】

　　The most successful leaders understand their colleagues’ mindsets（深知同僚的心态）, capabilities and areas for improvement. They use this knowledge/insight to challenge their teams to think and stretch them to reach for more. These types of leaders excel in keeping their people on their toes（擅长让团队成员对一切全力以赴）, never allowing them to get comfortable and enabling them with the tools to grow.

　　* keep sb. on their toes = to force someone to continue giving all their attention and energy to what they are doing
