问题    What is so special about intuitive talent? Extensive research on brain skills indicates that those who score as highly intuitively on such test instruments as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator tend to be the most innovative in strategic planning and decisionmaking. They tend to be more insightful and better at finding new ways of doing things. In business, they are the people who can sense whether a new product idea will "fly" in the marketplace. They are the people who will generate ingenious new solutions to old problems that may have festered for years. These are the executives that all organizations would love to find.
   But, surprisingly, organizations often thwart, block, or drive out this talent--the very talent they require for their future survival! At the very least, most organizations lack well- established human-capital programs designed to search for and consciously use their employees’ intuitive talent in the strategic-planning process. As a result, this talent is either not used, suppressed, or lost altogether.
   Typically, highly intuitive managers work in an organizational climate that is the opposite of that which would enable them to flourish and to readily use their skills for strategic decisionmaking. This climate can be characterized as follows: New ideas are not readily encouraged. Higher managers choose others who think much as they do for support staff. Unconventional approaches to problemsolving encounter enormous resistance. Before long, the intuitive executive begins to emotionally withdraw, slowly but surely reducing his or her input and often leaving the organization altogether.
   To achieve higher productivity in the strategic-planning and decisionmaking process, clearly what is needed is an organizational climate in which intuitive brain skills and styles can flourish and be integrated with more-traditional management techniques. The organization’s leadership must have a special sensitivity to the value of intuitive input in strategic decisionmaking and understand how to create an environment in which the use of intuition will grow, integrating it into the mainstream of the organization’s strategic-planning process.
An organization’s leadership should do all of the following EXCEPT ______.

选项 A、separating intuitive styles from traditional management techniques
B、learning how to use creative thinking
C、learning how to use problemsolving skills
D、none of the above

答案A

解析 一个机构的领导应做以下事情,只是不能把凭直觉的方法同传统的管理方法割裂开来。A表达的意思与第四段第一句的意思正好相反。这句话的意思是:为了利用战略规划和决策的过程提高生产力,显然需要这样一种组织环境:直觉和凭直觉办事的方法能够盛行,而且应该同更传统的管理办法结合起来。
