Every team has a lead and members. People who interact with each other. Personally, on a regular basis. The topic leadership is about that interaction. How do Americans lead and want to be led?
每个团队都有一个领导和成员。彼此之间有互动的人。就个人而言，在定期的基础上。领导力这个话题就是关于这种互动。美国人是如何领导和希望被领导的？
Strategy and Tactics
Americans﹣those leading as well as those being led﹣prefer specifically formulated, command oriented tasks. The command addresses both the what, and to some degree the how. Overall responsibilitiy for results lie on the strategic level with the team lead, but is shared to some degree with the implementer.
战略和战术
美国人–那些领导和被领导的人–更喜欢具体制定的、以命令为导向的任务。指挥部既要解决什么问题，也要在一定程度上解决怎么做。在战略层面上，团队领导对结果负总责，但在一定程度上与执行者分担。
Strategy Formulation
Americans believe that important decisions should be made by the leader. Ideally with input from key members of the management team. Once made, those decisions are best implemented when communicated and understood by the entire team.
战略制定
美国人认为，重要的决定应该由领导者来做。理想的情况是，由管理团队的主要成员提供意见。一旦做出决定，这些决定在被整个团队沟通和理解的情况下才能得到最好的执行。
Strategy Modification
The line between those who make decisions and are responsible for their outcomes, and those who carry out those decisions, is drawn very distinctly in the American context. Decisions which cannot work or would damage overall efforts are communicated carefully and diplomatically up through the chain of command by those working on the tactical level. There is very low tolerance﹣among both team leads and members﹣for independent questioning of decisions.
战略修改
在美国，做出决定并对其结果负责的人与执行这些决定的人之间的界限是非常明显的。那些不可行的决定或者会破坏整体工作的决定，会被那些在战术层面上工作的人小心翼翼地通过指挥系统进行外交沟通。团队领导和成员对独立质疑决策的容忍度非常低。
Lines of Communication
Because Americans﹣those leading as well as those being led﹣prefer specific, command oriented tasks (both what and how), it follows that they will maintain shorter lines of communication with their team members: more interaction, more frequent status meetings, more iterations on tactical issues.
沟通渠道
由于美国人–领导和被领导的人–更喜欢具体的、以指挥为导向的任务（包括内容和方式），因此他们会与团队成员保持较短的沟通线路：更多的互动，更频繁的状态会议，更多的战术问题的反复。
