Kindliness is the basis of the most pleasing humour. There you have the secret of a good conversationist’s success. He thinks about his hearer. He has a warm heart, as well as a clear head. Instead of parading himself, he tries to build a bridge of friendliness between himself and others.

Questions

1. How do we know that the art of conversation was important long ago?

Four thousand years ago, schoolboys in Egypt were copying maxims on conversation from a book called “The instructions of Ptah – Hotep”. It is spoken of as “ The oldest book in the world”. So we know that long ago people realized the importance of conversation, and that studying the technique of conversation is nothing new.

2. Is it important now? Why?

Talking has been one of man’s chief occupations and one of his most significant activities. Conversations is the means by which we draw near to one another with sympathy and pleasure. A person’s character and tastes are revealed by his conversation.

3.In what way is information helpful?

 The best talkers of all ages appear to have had a lively affection for, and a warm interest in their fellow creatures; a curiosity about the world in general ( not a petty curiosity about people’s affairs); some powers of observation and reflection; respect for their own opinions and tolerance for those of others; and tact, which comes from ready sympathy and quick thinking. And they talked for the fun of it, not to show their knowledge. A fund of information the talker needs, of course. But you can get interesting topics to talk about by watching ants, as well as by reading newspapers and books. Finding out a great deal about one thing is helpful, because a person usually talks well about the subject he knows. That is why having a hobby may make one a better talker.

4.What role does humour play in conversation?

To be an interesting talker, you also need the ability to see the humour in everyday incidents and to tell about them in a way that will amuse others. Amusing things take place around you constantly – in the street, the bus, the yard, the schoolroom; you have only to observe them to have amusing stories to tell. But remember that the champion joke teller is a pest. Jokes help to season conversation, but like any seasoning, they are not good for a steady diet.

Единственная  творческая ошибка, которую может допустить менеджер.

  1 Вы не должны  быть деспотом, заставляя  американцев работать  вместе. Вы только должны дать им шанс. Полагают, что это именно то, что менеджеры могут обеспечить. Нет необходимости говорить что делать. Нет правил.2 Американцы ненавидят правила.

   В течение  трёх лет Пэт Фэллон, который вёл  дела в рекламном агентстве, открыл свой магазин. У него были те же проблемы, что и у любого другого в  делах бизнеса: выпуск продукции  высшего качества.3 Он осуществляет это при наличии максимальной личной свободы и также повышенного чувства личной ответственности.

   Фэллон  понимает, что и в его и в  вашем бизнесе, больше, чем вы осознаёте, 4что люди надеются не только на деньги, их признание, высокую оценку(уважение) и творческую свободу. Он даёт им то, в чём они нуждаются. Они дают ему то, в чём он нуждается: продукт высшего качества в производстве. Неважно, каким бизнесом вы занимаетесь, чтобы достичь успеха менеджеры должны создавать среду, которая делает людей более результативными. Недостаточно заставить их осознать детали, если вы ломаете их чувство свободы и спонтанности  в процессе. Вы должны достаточно хорошо их понимать, чтобы давать им не то, что вы хотите, но также то, в чём они нуждаются, чтобы внести максимальный вклад.

Взгляните на людей, которые вышли из ваших дверей и оставили вас, чтобы достичь успеха в своём собственном бизнесе. Возможности, которые они используют,  не только ради денег. Им необходимо помещение, чтобы выразить свой собственный стиль. Дайте им это помещение, а также признание и уважение, и в девяти из десяти случаев они останутся. Примите талантливых мужчин или женщин, один  шаг(поступок), исключая полного товарищества(партнёрства), сделают служащего президентом своей собственной компании скорее, чем потеряют его. . Примите талантливых мужчин или женщины один мера почти до полного партнерства, делает служащего президентом его собственной компании а не освобождающим он. 

Поэтому помните, вы можете заставить ваших служащих обратить внимание на детали, если вы развиваете руководящий стиль, когда точно доводите до них ваши поручения, и если вы демонстрируете ваше доверие к своим людям, давая им свободу в выполнении работы, вы нанимаете их на работу.  

Будьте как  джокер Вилли Шумахер. Он самый лучший в своём бизнесе, т. к. он легко управляет поводьями. Говорят, что лошадь никогда не знает, что он верхом на ней, до тех пор, пока ему это не понадобится.  
 

4. You don’t have to be a tyrant to get Americans to work together.
5. Americans hate rules.
6. Pat Fallon achieved his aim by maximizing personal freedom and thus personal responsibility to an almost unheard of extent.

 

4.Besides the money people need recognition, appreciation and creative freedom. 

The Single Greatest Mistake a Manager Can Make.

   1You don’t have to be a tyrant to get Americans to work together. You just have to give them a reason. That’s what managers are supposed to be able to provide. Motivation. Goal. Resources. Leadership. But not restrictions. Not being told what to do. Not rules.2 Americans hate rules.

   Within three years of the time Pat Fallon, who runs an advertising agency, opened his shop. He has the same problem everyone in the business has: getting out a superior product. He does it 3by maximizing personal freedom and thus personal responsibility to an almost unheard-of extent.
