1、Unit 2 Career and Success1、 ListeningThere are many reasons why people leave their jobs.Maybe a higher salary offered in the new job, possibly its just a career advancement, or it could be because they cant stand their management, and they believe their supervisors are doing a bad job about it.My ne

2、xt guest says that bad management is the main reason why people leave their jobs.Hes Stephen Taylor, hes a lecturer in management at Manchester Metropolitan University.Its good morning to you!Interviewer: This is an extraordinary finding that basically you are saying poor management and supervision,

3、 finally people said, Thats enough, Im off.Interviewee: Thats right; I think thats very right.Weve interviewed about 200 people in depth about their last job-move.Weve asked them to tell us in detail why they left their last jobs.And thats the main finding of our research, and its sort of a hidden r

4、eason.I think a lot of organizations dont understand, dont realize how important this is.But certainly most people, the majority of people, that was the primary reason they left. Interviewer: Now when we talk about s-poor supervision or bad management, were obviously talking about more than, say, se

5、xual harassment, abuse, bullying and that sort of thing. You are really talking about they are not doing their job, absolutely, not supervising. Interviewee: Absolutely, There are examples of bullying, and just unpleasant treatment, abuse of power and so on, but theyre a minority.Its much more commo

6、n to find examples of ineffective management of sweeping problems under the carpet, not listening to grievances, not listening to people, just not managing in effect actually. Interviewer: And that, of course, those managers would say that they are suffering the same problem from their own managers.

7、 Interviewee: Thats very tricky, we have also interviewed supervisors themselves and we get the same thing from them. They will complain about the area manager and so on and it goes up the hierarchy.Interviewer: Is that endemic in the system of bureaucracy in the corporation? If its so common and in

8、 so many countries, what can be done?Interviewee: Well, a lot can be done?I think its a hidden reason, I dont think its so much endemic in the bureaucracy.I think they just dont realize because when people leave a job, thats not the reason they give. They are not honest. They say they are leaving fo

9、r more pay or they are leaving for personal reasons, or something of that kind. So I just think they dont actually realize how important this factor is. Because a great deal can be done about it, well, you can select supervisors on their supervisory skills, rather than for their technical skills; yo

10、u can give them training in basic people management skills. Interviewer: But., you see, the problem with that, Steven, is every time when anybody sits on a course in People Management, Human Resource Relations, Managing Your Staff, everybody says What a load of rubbish. You know, bunny rabbits gone

11、mad. Interviewee: Well, maybe thats the problem, its not rubbish. Its very very serious.Its costing industry millions and millions of pounds a year because people are leaving. They have trained them up, they selected them, theyve spent huge amount of money getting them in there, then they walk out t

12、he door.Its really about time people took the issue a bit more seriously. Interviewer: And a final thought, when are you next going to look at this again to determine if thereve been any changes?Before you resign?Interviewee: Well, thats right.I think it will be an on-going study and Ive certainly g

13、ot a long way to get to it.I want to look at various different professional groups and see how they vary. Thats what I would like to do next.Interviewer: Well, Steven, assuming you havent resigned to go elsewhere, please do come back and talk more about it, absolutely fascinating, thank you very muc

14、h indeed.离开工作的原因有很多。可能在新工作中提供更高的薪水，可能只是职业提升，或者可能是因为他们无法忍受管理，他们认为他们的主管做得不好我的下一位客人说，糟糕的管理是人们离开工作的主要原因。他的斯蒂芬泰勒，他是曼彻斯特城市大学的管理讲师。对你来说早上好！采访者：这是一个非同寻常的发现，基本上你说的是管理不善和监督，最后人们说：“够了，我走了。”被访者：没错，我认为这是非常正确的。我们已经深入访谈了大约200人关于他们上一次工作的举动。我们要求他们详细告诉我们为什么他们离开了最后的工作。这是我们研究的主要发现，而且它是有点隐晦的原因。我想很多组织都不明白，没有意识到这是多么重要。但是绝

15、大多数人，大多数人，这是他们离开的主要原因。采访者：现在当我们谈到监督不力或管理不善时，我们显然不仅仅是在谈论性骚扰，虐待，欺凌等等。你真的在谈论他们没有完成他们的工作，绝对不是监督。被访者：绝对有欺凌的例子，只是不愉快的对待，滥用权力等等，但它们是少数。在地毯下找到无效管理清扫问题的例子更为常见，而不是倾听不满，而不是倾听人们的意见，只是不实际管理。采访者：那当然，那些经理会说他们正在遭受来自他们自己经理的同样的问题。被访者：这非常棘手，我们也自己采访了主管，我们也从他们那里得到了同样的结果。他们会抱怨区域经理等等，并且会升级到层次结构。采访者：在公司的官僚体系中流行吗？如果它在如此多的国家

16、很常见，那么可以做些什么？被访者：那么可以做很多事情呢？我认为这是一个隐藏的原因，我不认为它在官僚体系中流行很多。我认为他们没有意识到，因为当人们离开工作时，这不是他们的原因。给。他们不诚实。他们说他们要离开去寻求更多报酬，或者他们因个人原因离开，或者是那种类似的事情。所以我只是觉得他们并没有意识到这个因素有多重要。因为可以做很多事情，所以你可以选择主管的监督技能，而不是技术技能;你可以给他们培训基本的人员管理技能。采访者：但是，你看，这个问题，史蒂文，每当有人坐在“人事管理”，“人力资源关系”，“管理你的员工”的课程中，每个人都会说“多大的垃圾“。你知道，兔子兔子疯了。被访者：好吧，也许这就

17、是问题所在，它不是垃圾。这是非常非常严重的。每年因为人们离开而花费数百万英镑和数百万英镑。他们训练了他们，他们选择了他们，他们花费了大量的资金将他们送到那里，然后他们走出了大门。真正的时间让人们认真对待问题。采访者：最后一个想法是，你什么时候再来看看这个以确定是否有任何改变？在你辞职之前？被访者：那是对的。我认为这将是一项持续的研究，我当然还有很长的路要走。我想看看各种不同的专业团体，看看他们是如何变化的。这就是我想接下来要做的。采访者：好的，史蒂文，假设你没有辞职去其他地方，请回来谈谈更多，绝对引人入胜，非常感谢你。2、 ReadingIn our human nature is a des

26、头上时，一艘只有一个渔夫的小船停靠了。在小船里面有几条大黄鳍金枪鱼。这位商人赞扬墨西哥人关于他的鱼的质量，并问道需要多长时间抓住他们。墨西哥只回答了一会儿。然后，这位商人问他为什么不再呆更长时间并钓到更多的鱼。墨西哥人说他有足够的钱来支持他家人的迫切需要。然后这位商人问道，但你在剩下的时间里做了什么？墨西哥渔民说：“我睡得很晚，有点鱼儿，和我的孩子一起玩，和我的妻子玛丽亚一起睡午觉，每天晚上我都会在那里喝酒，和我的朋友一起弹吉他;我有一个完整的繁忙的生活，传感器。“这位商人嘲笑道：“我是哈佛大学的MBA，我可以帮你，你应该花更多的时间去钓鱼，并用收益购买一艘更大的船。利用大船的收益，你可以买几

27、艘船;最终你会有一个船队的渔船而不是把你的渔获卖给中间商，你会直接卖给加工商，最终打开你自己的罐头厂。你将控制产品，加工和分销。你需要离开这个小的沿海渔村，然后前往墨西哥城市，然后是洛杉矶，最终纽约市，你将在那里经营你的企业。“这位墨西哥渔民问道：“但是，传感器，这一切需要多长时间？”商人回答说，“15 - 20年。”“但那么，传感器呢？”商人笑了起来，说：“这是最棒的部分！当时机成熟时，你会宣布上市并将公司股票出售给公众，并且变得非常富有，你会赚到数百万美元。“”数百万，先生？然后呢？“商人说，”然后你会退休。一个小型的沿海渔村，你可以睡一会儿，钓一点点，和你的孩子一起玩，和你的妻子一起睡午
