Контрольная по английскому Business leaders
Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст письменно.
Business Leaders.
In large organizations, leaders should spend no more than four hours a day in their offices. The rest of the time, they should be out with their people, talking the lower-level employees. They should be travelling widely throughout their organizations.
The best leaders are those whose minds are never closed and who are eager to deal with new issues. Leaders should not change their minds too frequently after a major decision has been made. Executives must take a disciplined approach to their schedules, their post, their telephone calls, their travel schedules and their meetings. Staying busy and working long hours are not necessarily a measurement of leadership effectiveness.
Leaders may run efficient organizations, but they do not really serve the long-term interests of the institution unless they plan, set goals and provide strategic perception. The leader must work very closely with people to help them be creative.
Reliability is something that leaders must have in order to provide stability and strength to organizations. Leaders must not only understand the major elements of their businesses but must also keep up with any changes.
Leaders should be able to look at themselves objectively and analyze where they have made mistakes and where they have disappointed people.
