Text 1

Jack Welch is among the famous CEOs because his management style is taught at business

schools throughout the country. 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 **panies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he

stepped down as its CEO 20 years later, in 2000.

As Jack Welch wrote in a letter 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-**munication. The 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:

● Business is simple.

● Don"t make it complicated.

● Face reality.

● Don"t be afraid of change.

● Use the brains of your workers.

Text 2

Running your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you don"t want to let them

go elsewhere.

During an employee"s time with a company, there are a number of forces that influence his or her

behavior. I like to refer to them as "push" and "pull." You"re either pushing an employee towards

the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization.

Suppose that you"ve made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to

recognize the individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, in order to

keep pulling them away from the door. Even if you can"t pull them away from the door, at least

don"t do things to push them out the door.

Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their interest.

If you can"t continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other interesting and

rewarding opportunities, then you"ll have some employees leave through no fault of your own.

The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated well.

Communicate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes them

behave in a particular way, and be aware of the concerns they may have about job satisfaction.

1. The author uses the word "push" (Para. 2) to mean the force that ______.

A. makes employees satisfied with their work

B. drives employees to work more efficiently

C. causes employees to leave **pany

D. keep employees to remain in **pany

2. To keep your employees, you are advised to ______.

A. recognize and meet their needs

B. identify and **e their faults

C. offer them a salary as high as possible

D. provide them with a better working condition

3. According to the passage, when is it possible for some employees to lose interest?

A. They have no rewarding opportunities.

B. **pany is located in a remote area.

C. They make mistakes in their work.

D. **pany is not big enough for development.

4. How should you deal with your key employees according to the last paragraph?

A. Make them behave well.

B. Meet with them every day.

C. Pay regular visits to their family.
