初级公司英语会话Lession5:团队合作
Listen to the dialogue between Head of Marketing (HM) and Marketing Manager (MM).
HM: how do you think that the new team members are setting in? MM: very well on the whole, I think the team is starting to get quite nicely. HM: so how have you been organizing things? MM: well I’ve been stressing that everybody – even the new assistants- can have a real influence on our marketing strategy. HM: And what does that mean practically speaking? MM: we’re having a weekly team meeting at which everyone ha the chance to have their say. HM: that’s good, if everyone gets a proper chance to voice their opinions. MM: absolutely. And the junior guys know that it’s OK for them to say what they really think. HM: you’re happy then, that the team is working well together. MM: yes. The new marketing assistants are all getting along and helping each other out with problems. HM: And are the Project Managers linking up OK? MM: they seem to be, yes. There’s been a good atmosphere at the first management meetings away. HM: Good, we don’t want them getting over-competitive. MM: There’s healthy competition between them obviously, but nothing that seems over the top. HM: So they’re all sharing information contacts and so on? MM: Yes, there’s really nothing to worry about. HM:OK, I wanted to talk to you about possible team-building exercises as well. MM: so you’re still keen on doing some proper training for that? HM: Definitely, I think it could be very important for teamwork. MM: well, if we’ve got the budget to do that, then sure. It sounds like a great idea.
