important piece of risk tolerance is a candidate’s degree of comfort with failure . 失败很重要，因为这表示你不怕冒险。Failure is important because it shows that you were not afraid to take chances .所以各家公司总会寻找有可能犯错误并敢于承认错误的求职者。大家都知道如何谈论成功——或者当他们在寻找工作的时候应该知道。但很少有人乐意谈论失败，更少有人知道如何从失败的边缘吸取教训和获得经验。So companies consistently look for candidates who can be wrong and admit it .

12然而，如果认为只有像李奇那样的生意人才需要熟练的人际沟通技巧，那就错了。It would be a mistake ,however ,to assume that strong people skills are required only for business people like Leach .事实上，我所遇见的在企业工作的核心员工们之所以取得成功，很大程度上是因为他们能够与公司上下各种各样的人共事。 Indeed ,the key players I’ve met who work at the bench in industry have succeed in great measure because they’ve been able to work with a broad variety of personalities ,up and down the organization .
