【商業智慧】英偉達共同創辦人黃仁勳：領導力令人興奮的地方就在於即使你手握著看似最差勁的牌，但仍舊深信自己能夠獲勝 Cofounder of Nvidia, Jensen Huang: I think that’s what’s thrilling about leadership when you’re holding onto literally the worst possible hand on the planet and you know you’re still going to win
英偉達（NVIDIA）於2023年5月份美元市值破兆，震撼了華爾街，市值已超越特斯拉（Tesla）及Meta，直逼亞馬遜（Amazon）。英偉達共同創辦人黃仁勳曾言道：「領導力令人興奮的地方就在於即使你手握著看似最差勁的牌，但仍舊深信自己能夠獲勝。」英偉達的創建之路充滿了挑戰與不確定性，但黃仁勳從未因此氣餒。
黃仁勳所倡導的「智力上的誠實」，即是在面對困難與錯誤時，坦率地面對現實，不讓情感與偏見左右決策。這種對於任何一位領導者來說是一項挑戰，尤其是在潛在的聲譽損失面前。
黃仁勳的領導之路，充斥著失敗與挑戰。但正如他所言，真正的領導者不會因為一時的挫敗而放棄。他將每一次的失敗視為一次學習的機會，並在這過程中培養出一個能夠承受風險、從失敗中學習的企業文化。這種文化不僅讓英偉達在危機中求生存，更是促使它成為業界的領導者。
當面對看似無法克服的挑戰時，領導者的信念、決心與從錯誤中學習的能力，才是達到成功的關鍵。在追求事業的道路上，面對挑戰與失敗時的態度同樣重要。黃仁勳的故事證明了，即使手握看似最差的牌，擁有堅定的信念與正確的態度，依然可以獲得勝利。
In May 2023, NVIDIA's market value in US dollars surpassed one trillion, shocking Wall Street. Its market value has now exceeded that of Tesla and Meta, closely approaching Amazon. Jensen Huang once said, 'I think that’s what’s thrilling about leadership when you’re holding onto literally the worst possible hand on the planet and you know you’re still going to win.' The journey of establishing NVIDIA was full of challenges and uncertainties, but Jensen Huang never lost heart because of this.
The 'intellectual honesty' advocated by Huang is about facing reality candidly in the face of difficulties and errors, without letting emotions and biases influence decisions. This is a challenge for any leader, especially in the face of potential reputation damage.
Jensen Huang's leadership journey is filled with failures and challenges. But as he says, a true leader doesn't give up because of temporary setbacks. He views each failure as a learning opportunity and has cultivated a corporate culture that can withstand risks and learn from failures. This culture not only helped NVIDIA survive in crises but also made it a leader in the industry.
When facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, a leader's belief, determination, and ability to learn from mistakes are key to success. On the path to pursuing a career, the attitude towards challenges and failures is equally important. Huang's story proves that even with the seemingly worst cards, having firm belief and the right attitude can still lead to victory.
