He has been with the General Electric Company (GE) since 1960. Having taken GE with a market value of about $12 billion, Jack Welch turned it into one of the largest and most admired companies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he stepped down as itsCEO 20 years later, in .As Jack Welch wrote in a l etter to shareholders: “In the old culture, managers got their power from secret knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all that... In the new economy, the role of the leader is to express a vision, and put it into practice. That calls for open, caring relations with every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who can’t convincingly (有说服力的) express a vision won’t be successful. But those who can will become even more open——because success builds up self-confidence.”Welch believed that great business leaders have to:· possess large amounts of energy, and· know how to use that energy to motivate others. Welch moves from meeting to meeting, conveying that message—and many more others as well, some of which have become his trademarks:· Busin ess is simple.· Don’t make it complicated.· Face reality.· Don’t be afraid of change.· Use the brains of your workers.36. According to the first paragraph, Jack Welch, as a CEO, is famous for his ______.A. technical knowledgeB. overseas experienceC. family backgroundD. management style37.

Jack Welch’s view of business managementC. development history of GE companyD. courses taught in business schoolsTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.From: Linda SmithTo: Clarice RyanSubject: Report on Employees’ Use of Time Clarice, I agree that waste of work time is aserious issue. The Human Resources Department recently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day. Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the Most important behaviors to stop. For example, look at activity No.1 in the table below. Many people are doing this; however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4, and 5.Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do this much more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break.For No. 4, we should focus on the younger age group. We will tell them that we are going to check their work accounts for personal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch this more carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know eachother and it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is spending too much time talking and not enough time working.Are you available tomorrow? I’d like to meet with you to discuss our next step.Time Spent on Non-work-related Activities Activities MenWomen 1. Going online 85% 83%55% 80%2. Making personalphone calls3.
