Back in business school, macho(自以为是的) kids like me studied finance. In the competition of life, money    21   winning, so those who managed the money would become the   22   . Didn't matter that I was a woman - I was as         23     as any guy you'd ever met.

It's taken me a lot of years, a lot of living, to   24   that my view of the world was upside down. The reality is: finance is for wimps(呆子). Finance is the easy part. However, It's much    25   to deal with people. The winners in society are the people who understand how to    26   other people.

In my 20s, I worked really hard. I  27  name-brand schools and piled on the degrees. I was   28  on my climb to the top as a successful real-estate developer. I worked full-time as I was studying, because I was    29   .

Then when I was 31, I got to the top in a way that I   30   imagined possible. I was   31   Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles. In that     32  , I collaborated with leaders from all sectors of society.

When our four-year term came to a    33  , I moved to another world of power and money, as a headhunter for CEOs and other   34   talent for the world's biggest companies.

As a result of all these   35  , I've had the chance to meet, befriend, and work with leaders from all sectors in countries throughout the world.

And here's what I've learned: the leaders are not the   36   IQ people in any organization. They didn't get the highest grades, they didn't   37   the highest exam scores. They got to the top   38   they have the ability to attract the best people to work for them. And at the root of that power of attraction is empathy(同感能力). Empathy is the ability to truly connect with other human beings. It's life's hardest but most    39   skill. And it's the skill   40  for leadership in a changing world.
