1、,Unit 2,新职业英语,Contents,Warm-1,Task,Meeting Management Tasks,Work in pairs.Read the following list of the tasks at different stages of a business meeting.Discuss with your partner and match each task with its corresponding stage.,Warm-1,3，5，6，8，9，10,2，4，7,1，11，12,Reading A,Reading A,Text,Task 1,Task
2、2,Business Know-how,Text A-1,Meetings Are a Matter of Precious Time 1 The meeting spills over into its second hour.We are discussing a productivity initiative.At this moment,our most talkative member chimes in with the idea that we need some kind of system to reward employees.This is the same soluti
3、on he offers for every problem at every meeting.Then,another member cuts in with a long storyjust to make the point that we are not the proper entity to recommend the kinds of changes we are proposing.I,meanwhile,contribute nothing useful.Finally,the woman who set the meeting calls it quits and tell
4、s us well continue next week.We drift back to our offices,wondering how to make up for the wasted time.This meeting occurred many years ago,but similar ones happen at companies everywhere every day.,Reading A,Text A-2,Reading A,2 Part of the problem at such meetings is that the leader has not set cl
5、ear objectives or an agenda,and didnt assign pre-meeting preparation tasks.Instead,the leader seems to hope that magic will occur,producing solutions to the problems.Of course,that doesnt happen.,Text A-3,Reading A,3 The main reason we dont make meetings more productive is that we dont value our tim
6、e properly.The people who call meetings and those who attend them are not thinking about time as their most valuable resource.But time is the most perishable good in the world.You cant earn an extra hour to use on a busy day.Nonetheless,we usually have a vague feeling that there is plenty of timesom
7、ewhere in the futureso we waste it now and carelessly steal time from our families,friends or ourselves.,Text A-4,Reading A,4 I used to be the disengaged participantone who had good ideas about how to solve a problem,but didnt contribute.I now take a more active role,aiming to make meetings more eff
8、ective.Here are three simple principles I use.First,whoever calls a meeting should be explicit about its objectives.This means specifying tangible goals and assigning responsibilities.Second,everyone should think carefully about the costs of a meeting:How many participants are really needed?How long
9、 should the meeting last?Finally,after meetings,assign credit or blame to the person in charge.If people have records of leading ineffective meetings,they are not allowed to lead future sessions.,Text A-5,Reading A,5 I know that meetings may serve other functions.Sometimes,they can communicate a sol
10、ution,make sure that there are no fatal flaws in it and give those who are unhappy with it a chance to voice their dissatisfaction.Other meetings serve a cultural function,allowing participants to renew social connections,establish relationships,and deepen a sense of belonging.So,its possible to jus
11、tify a few of those too-long and apparently unproductive meetings by finding hidden payoffs.,Text A-6,Reading A,6 But,please,dont just call a meeting and hope the magic happens.Take charge and take personal responsibility for meeting its objectives,whatever they are.,A-Trans-1,Reading A,会议关乎宝贵的时间1 会
12、议已经拖拖拉拉开了一个多小时，我们正在讨论如何提高生产效率的提案。这时，最能言善道的同事插话说需要某种制度来激励员工。每次会上，不管讨论什么问题，他都会提出同一个方案。紧接着，另一位同事长篇累牍地说明我们都不是提出这些建议的合适人选。我也没说啥有用的。最后，召集会议的女同事宣布散会，并告知下周继续开会。我们游荡回各自的办公室，盘算着怎样才能把浪费的时间补回来。这是多年前的一次会议，但类似的情景仍然随时随地在不同公司上演。,A-Trans-2,Reading A,2 这种会议的问题部分在于会议召集人没有明确的目标或议程，也没有布置好会前的准备工作，而是寄希望于奇迹发生，带来解决问题的方法。当然，
13、奇迹从未发生。,A-Trans-3,Reading A,3 会议之所以效率不高，主要是因为没有很好地珍惜时间。召开和参加会议的人都没有将时间当做最宝贵的资源。但时间是世上最易逝的东西。忙碌的一天中你无法得到额外的一个小时来做事。尽管如此，我们还总是依稀觉得未来有大把时间，故而不珍惜当下，漫不经心地把家庭、朋友和自己的时间浪费掉。,A-Trans-4,4 过去，我开会时参与度不高，对要解决的问题有好想法却不说。现在，我采取更积极的态度，希望会议能更有效。我遵循以下三个简单的原则。第一，无论谁召集会议，都必须明确目的。这意味着说明会议的切实目标并将任务布置下去。第二，每个人都要仔细考虑会议成本：到
14、底需要几人参加？要开多久？最后，会议结束后，要给会议负责人评评分。如果谁有开会效率低的记录，那么下次他就不能再担任召集人。,Reading A,A-Trans-5,Reading A,5 我知道会议还有其他作用。有时，在会上大家可以讨论预定方案，确保其没有致命错误并给那些有异议的人一个表达心声的机会。有些会议则有人文功能，创造机会让与会者叙叙旧、交交新朋友，并增强归属感。这些倒是能为那些冗长而明显无效的会议找到些许召集的理由。,A-Trans-6,Reading A,6 但是，千万不要随随便便就召集会议，然后心存幻想，期待奇迹出现。不管会议目标是什么，都要负起责任去达成目标。,to join
