听写训练营Day29

1. I’ve been looking at why individualism, I mean individual differences are such an important area of management studies, when you think about any organization, be it a family business or a multinational company, there are all fundamentally a group of people working together, but it's what these individuals contribute to their places of work that makes you realize how important they are. 

2. A: Diversity is important in these areas too. 

B: So why do people behave so differently from one another at work? 

A: There are lots of reasons. But research has shown that a lot of it comes down to personality and the other fact is gender. It’s a well known fact that men and women do lots of things in different ways, and the workplace is no different. 

3. A: Unfortunately, many managers think that the entire notion of encouraging individuality amongst their staff, is far too hard. 

B: Yes, that maybe true. But I think one of the most important tasks of managers is to consider the needs of individual on one hand, and group co-operation and conformity on the other. It requires creative thinking on the part of management to avoid tension. 

4.  It has to start from the very beginning when companies are looking for new employees, when the personnel department is choosing between applicants, they need to look for someone who's broken the mould and can think for themselves. Instead, people making these decisions often use a rang of psychological tests to see if a person is a problem solver or will do as they’re told. 

5. A: OK, well, hold on a second. First I want to go over some key concepts. Let’s say there was a species that had access to plenty of food and ideal conditions. Under those circumstances, its population would increase exponentially, meaning it would increase at an ever-accelerating pace.

B: Wow! That sounds a little scary.

A: Well, it doesn’t usually happen. Like you said, a rapid population growth is often followed by a sudden decline.
