选项
答案 [Interlocutor places the card in front of the candidates.] Interlocutor: ? I’m just going to listen and then ask you to stop after 3 minutes. Please speak so that we can hear you. [Candidates have about 3 minutes to complete the task.] A: Managers are responsible for seeing that others (their subordinates) perform the work. To do this effectively, managers need to develop certain skills to be successful in a particular position. B: Yes, the technical skills are necessary. While it is not necessary for managers to know all the technical aspects of the work they are managing, they must have enough technical knowledge to communicate effectively with their subordinates and superiors. And they must have enough technical knowledge to gain some credibility with their subordinates. Technical skills are most needed by first- line managers and least critical to top-level managers. A: In addition, the conceptual skills are also important for managers. Conceptual skills involve the ability to think in abstract terms, the ability to see how parts fit together to form the whole. Creative thinking is behind the development of many innovative products and ideas. Rather than concentrating solely on a short-term solution to an immediate crisis, good managers put all of their smaller decisions in a broader, long-term perspective that benefits the total organization. Managers at all levels and in all areas need conceptual skills, but none more so than top-level managers. [Materials are collected.] [The interlocutor asks one or more questions as appropriate, to extend the discussion.] Is it a must that a manager should have a good education? A: Well, that depends. I think it’s wise to pay more attention on his or her competence than education. A man who has a good education does not always means he is competent.
