It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or anything alike require intelligence. But new re

10、search on leadership suggests that, at a certain point, having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.Although previous research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by objective measures, some studies have suggested that followers might subjectively view leaders with extr

11、emely high intellect as less effective. Decades ago, Dean Simonton, a psychologist from the University of California, Davis, proposed that brilliant leaders words may simply go over peoples heads, their solutions could be more complicated to carry out and followers might find it harder to relate to

12、them. Now Simonton and two colleagues have finally tested that idea, publishing their results in the July 2017 issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology.The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries across fields including banking, retail and technology. The manager

13、s took IQ tests and each was rated (定级) on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated(和正相关) with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several other characteristicsup to a point. The ratings peaked at an IQ of around 120,

14、which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings declined. The researchers suggest the ideal IQ could be higher or lower in various fields, to 140 or 100, depending on whether technical or social skills are more valued in a given work culture.Its an interesting and

15、 thoughtful paper, says Paul Sackett, a management professor at University of Minnesota, who was not involved in the research.To me, the right interpretation of the work would be that it highlights a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower understanding by followers, he says.

16、The wrong interpretation would be, Dont hire high-IQ leaders.The studys lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to use creative language that will persuade and inspire othersthe way former U.S. President

17、 Barack Obama did. I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence properly and still connect with the people, Antonakis says, is to speak in charming ways.21According to the first paragraph, we know that _.A. leaders with high IQ do not have effective leadershipB. effective busine

18、ss depends on the intelligence of leadersC. leaders with higher IQ may do harm to group effectivenessD. the higher IQ leaders have, the stronger leadership they possess22According to Simonton, managers with an IQ of about _ are probably the most effective.A. 80B. 100C. 120D. 14023What is Paul Sacket

21、 evenings, the grounds of the estates (房产) would be softly lit with candles and lanterns, food prepared and set in long buffet tables for the guests, and comfortable seating always within reach.People tended to dress up for these types of outdoor events, which made them quite a festive occasion.
