There are times when muddling through – or, in the Chinese version, crossing the river by feeling the stones – is the right governing strategy, and there are times when a bold resetting of values and direction is required. Successful leaders know what time it is.
有时，得过且过——用中国的话讲，叫摸石头过河——是正确的治国战略；有时，对价值和方向的果断推倒重建才是正确的道路。成功的领导人知道自己处在哪个时候。
