有些人认为，政府、工业或其他领域的成功领导者一定是具有极强的竞争精神的。也有人认为，为了成功，领导者必须情愿并且有能力和他人合作。

Agree
1. The chief reason why we should stress cooperation in nurturing young people today is that, as tomorrow's leaders, they will face pressing societal problems that simply cannot be solved apart from cooperative international efforts.
2. The second compelling reason for instilling in young people a sense of cooperation over competition is that effective leadership depends less on the latter than the former.
3. A third reason why instilling a sense of cooperation is to be preferred over instilling a sense of competition is that the latter serves to narrow a leader's focus on thwarting the efforts of competitors.
Begin：承认竞争和合作各有各得优点，竞争可以充分激发人的积极性，合作可以发挥集体的优势，所以最好的培养年轻人的方式是让他们同时具备这两种素质。
1． 很多成功的取得离不开竞争。有竞争意识，才能从竞争中可以发现自己的不足，获得激励，从而有更多的积极性去进步。而不思竞争，不思进取，只会倒退。一个运动员，没有竞争意识，没有超越他人的勇气与信心，很快就会被对手赶上，而失败。同样，一个企业，如果安于现状，不开辟新的市场，不研发新的产品，很快就会被淘汰。一个国家也是如此，近代中国……
2． 同时当今世界的复杂多变，人们越来越发现合作的重要性。因为一个人的力量，越来越微不足道。小到一只球队，达到整个国家。比如再出色的个人球员，如果没有学会与其他队友合作，球队永远不会取得胜利，正像NBA广告说的那样"It takes five". 再如一个大型的公司，里面划分若干部分，销售，人力，生产，财务之类，如果部门之间不合作，那么这家公司就很难运行下去。随着全球化的发展，国与国之间的合作日益增多，欧盟的逐渐壮大就是最好的说明。可见学会合作对一个人来说也是很重要的。（培养学生合作精神能够让他们更容易接受不同的观点，而且乐于了解不同的文化和知识，有利于学生们在全球化趋势的今天成长城为未来的领导；此外，未来的领导人需要领导一个团队，而不是个人，因此合作精神能够让学生们更容易成长成为一个团队的领导；队员的互相帮助是使工作更有效率; 随着社会越来越复杂，不仅革新的细节需要来自于团队，实质的革新也不能单单依靠个人努力，比如：航空事业、生物研究等等。）
3． 但是我们也应该看到，很多情况下，竞争和合作是可以相互融合的。竞争可以充分发挥个人的主观能动性，合作充分利用各部分的优势。在合作中的竞争是良性竞争，可以让这个团队的每个人都得到提高。更常见的是两个竞争对手之间的合作，比如 Microsoft 和 IBM他们联合推出WS –INSPECTION ,但是在操作系统，软件开发上还是竞争关系。因为竞争永远不会结束，只有学会与对手合作，才会给自己提供更好的发展前景。
End：所以我们要重视这两者。
范文：
Which is a better way to prepare young people for leadership: developing in them a spirit of competitiveness or one of cooperation? The speaker favors the latter approach, even though some leaders attribute their success to their keenly developed competitive spirit. I tend to agree with the speaker, for reasons having to do with our increasingly global society, and with the true keys to effective leadership.
The chief reason why we should stress cooperation in nurturing young people today is that, as tomorrow's leaders, they will face pressing societal problems that simply cannot be solved apart from cooperative international efforts. For example, all nations will need to cooperate in an effort to disarm themselves of weapons of mass destruction; to reduce harmful emissions which destroy ozone and warm the Earth to dangerous levels; to reduce consumption of the Earth's finite natural resources; and to cure and prevent diseases before they become global epidemics. Otherwise, we all risk self-destruction. In short, global peace, economic stability, and survival of the species provide powerful reasons for developing educational paradigms that stress cooperation over competition.
A second compelling reason for instilling in young people a sense of cooperation over competition is that effective leadership depends less on the latter than the former. A leader should show that he or she values the input of subordinates--for example, by involving them in decisions about matters in which they have a direct stake. Otherwise, subordinates might grow to resent their leader, and become unwilling to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the leader's mission. In extreme cases they might even sabotage that mission, or even take their useful ideas to competitors. And after all, without other people worth leading a person cannot be a leader let alone an effective one.
A third reason why instilling a sense of cooperation is to be preferred over instilling a sense of competition is that the latter serves to narrow a leader's focus on thwarting the efforts of competitors. With such tunnel vision it is difficult to develop other, more creative means of attaining organizational objectives. Moreover, such means often involve synergistic solutions that call for alliances, partnerships, and other cooperative efforts with would-be competitors.
Those who would oppose the speaker might point out that a thriving economy depends on a freely competitive business environment, which ensures that consumers obtain high-quality goods and services at low prices. Thus key leadership positions, especially in business, inherently call for a certain tenacity and competitive spirit. And, a competitive spirit seems especially critical in today's hyper-competitive technology-driven economy, where any leader f~iling to keep pace with ever-changing business and technological paradigms soon fails by the wayside. However, a leader's effectiveness as a competitor is not necessarily inconsistent with his or her ability to cooperate with subordinates or with competitors, as noted above.
In sum, ifwe were to take the speaker's advice too far we would risk becoming a world without leaders, who are bred of a competitive spirit. We would also risk the key benefits of a free-market economy. Nevertheless, on balance I agree that it is more important to instill in young people a sense of cooperation than one of competition. The speaker's preference properly reflects the growing role of cooperative alliances and efforts in solving the world's most pressing problems. After all, in a world in which our very survival as a species depends on cooperation, the spirit of even healthy competition, no matter how healthy, is of little value to any of us.
Orignal From: Some people argue that successful leaders in government, industry, or other fields must be highly competitive. Other people claim that in order to be successful, a leader must be willing and able to cooperate with others
