选项
答案A: You see, some colleagues aren’t as active and efficient in their job as usual and few made progress in their business in the passing months. B: Yes, this is a situation that has to be improved. First of all, we should find out reasons behind this, especially work-related stress. A: That’s important. As far as I know, personality clashes among co-workers seem to be responsible. We’d better organize social activities, such as a basketball match, then colleagues can learn to help and cooperate with one another. B: That would be a good idea. Work setting can create physical and mental stress too. You see, the office is a bit over-crowded and workers here just cannot enjoy privacy. We should think of moving to offices big and cozy enough. A: Exactly. So many colleagues became passive in their work. Leadership style cannot be ignored. The manager should communicate with his or her staff about the leadership style through questionnaire to find out the problems and adjust the policies related in time. B: Yes, that is very crucial. In addition, the company management should be conceded about the employees’ health and life, such as providing well-balanced free lunch. A: Good suggestion. Besides, fierce competition and work overburden is undoubtedly responsible too. You just cannot sidestep it. B: Definitely. One way out is to offer them training opportunities to improve their KSAs, such as time management training to help them deal with heavy workload. Besides, we can organize sports to help them get relaxed after work. A: Talking about overburden reminds me of a popular saying " in a well-managed company, no one should feel that he has to burn himself out. " So you see, management knowledge and skills are really essential and crucial. B: You are to the point. Effective managers understand that stress control is a leadership responsibility and give me just as much attention as any other management function. Follow-on questions Yes. A reasonable amount of stress will push me forward a bit faster. Yes. Arranging leisure activities such as sports will help the staff better manage stress, make them healthy and strong, enhance team spent and boost morale. Absolutely no. Stress and relaxation are like twins and are hard fact of life. In one’s life, one will encounter this or that kind of stress due to the fierce competition of modern society. What’s important for people is to learn to cope with stress. When I am stressful under heavy workload or study load, I will divert my attention for a moment to something I enjoy, such as going to the cinema or a concert, having sports, or just go shopping, etc. Yes. Managing time skillfully can help you out of your disordered and chaotic life. Every part of your business including play, work and study should have its time. And life will be fabulous.
