【商業智慧】「股神」巴菲特：習慣的枷鎖一開始輕得幾乎感覺不到，等到覺得沉重時已難以打破 Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett: The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken

「股神」巴菲特曾言道：「習慣的枷鎖一開始輕得幾乎感覺不到，等到覺得沉重時已難以打破。」這不僅提醒我們習慣的力量，更是一次關於成為更好領導者的啟示。

巴菲特認為，人們往往在不自知的情況下培養了一些自毀的習慣，這些習慣會在不經意間影響我們的決策和行為。當我們年輕時，可能尚未深感其影響，但隨著時間推移，這些習慣將變得根深蒂固，難以改變。

要解開這些枷鎖，首先要認識到自己的壞習慣，並真正地承認它們。無論是不善於聆聽、過度干預下屬的工作、還是不足夠的溝通技巧，這些都是影響領導效果的要素。特別是溝通能力，它不僅是表達自己，更重要的是連接與他人，這也是巴菲特特別強調的。

巴菲特自己也曾因害怕公開演講而努力增值自己。他通過學習和不斷磨練，將這一弱點轉化為自己的優勢。

每個人都有自己的「習慣之鎖」，但只有真正認識到並勇於挑戰，才能夠突破自我，成為更好的領導者。

Oracle of Omaha, Buffett once said, "The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken." This not only reminds us of the power of habits but also provides insights into becoming a better leader.

Buffett believes that people often unknowingly cultivate some self-destructive habits. These habits inadvertently influence our decisions and actions. When we are young, we might not deeply feel their impact, but as time goes on, these habits become deeply ingrained and difficult to change.

To break these chains, one must first recognize their bad habits and genuinely acknowledge them. Whether it's not being good at listening, excessively interfering with subordinates' work, or insufficient communication skills, these are all factors that affect leadership efficacy. Communication skills, in particular, are not just about expressing oneself but more importantly, connecting with others, something that Buffett emphasizes.

Buffett himself once struggled with a fear of public speaking but worked hard to add value to himself. Through learning and constant practice, he turned this weakness into a strength.

Everyone has their "chains of habit," but only by truly recognizing and daring to challenge them can one break through and become a better leader.
