Mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet, for the answer you choose.
General Managers (GMs) are a part of middle management and play a key role in organisation. Depending on the size of the organisation a GM can be, for example, a senior manager responsible for a division or a subsidiary company or a less senior manager in charge of a department or section. They are a link between top management, who make policy decisions, and junior managers, who carry out these policies. Top management work through GMs and they can make the difference between good and bad policy and a motivated or demotivated workforce. The relationships GMs have with their bosses, subordinates and each other are very important for the success or failure of an organisation. GMs within the same organisation need to have good working relationships with each other in order to apply policies in the same way throughout the organisation. At the same time, GMs are also required to make broad policies into plans that suit their particular divisions or departments.
In a company conflicts between the activities of various departments will inevitably arise, and it is the job of the GM to act as a link between the departments. Research has shown that the personality of a GM is very important in helping to resolve these departmental problems. The research has also shown that (as far as the personalities of GMs are concerned) GMs are ambitious people who have balanced temperaments and are good with people. In addition, good GMs combine these personality traits with a detailed knowledge of their business. They work hard to fit into and be accepted by the culture of their particular organisation. It has also been demonstrated that high performing GMs have three sets of skills.
First, they need agenda-setting skills, so that they can identify and convince others of the most important objectives of a project. Second, GMs need to develop networking skills. Good GMs deliberately attempt to develop contacts within and outside the organisation. Such a network of contacts means that the GM is aware of issues and can act on them quickly. To develop agenda-setting and networking skills it is essential for a GM to be skilful in dealing with people. This is particularly important as they spend such a large amount of time working with employees at all levels of a company.
In terms of work, tasks and attitude, the research has shown that managerial work is done in short bursts, with managers working on many simultaneous projects which can sometimes have conflicting aims. GMs discuss a wide range of subjects in an unconnected way and tend to ask questions rather than give orders. They require large amounts of information which they pass on to top management to help them to make decisions. In order to collect this information, they must learn to work in uncertain and changing environments. Consequently, both the approach and style of a GM change to adapt to the setting in which they are operating. They must be flexible to be successful.
We are told that agenda-setting skills______.
选项
A、depend on having skills in dealing with people
B、help a manager develop networking skills
C、are more important than networking skills
D、are the basis for interpersonal skills
答案
A
解析
原文信息:they need agenda-settingskills,so that they can identify and convinceothers of the most important objectives of aproject.作者谈到一位出色的总经理应各具有三项技能,第一个就是agenda—setting(议程设置),这个词语来自于传播中著名的“议程设置理论”:媒介影响。控制大众生活的最主要形式表现为,它通过一个又一个各种性质议题的设立,提供一个场所来引导甚至于“强迫”大众参与某个议题的讨论,从而达到影响公众的目的。也就是说,总经理能够引导并说服别人服从公司所作出的重要决议。故A是正确答案。
