Teamwork Is the Key to Business Success
Today most businesses are looking for people who are good team players. The ability to work with and get on with other people is so important that many large organizations spend millions of dollars on finding the right people for their business.
At the recent Success in Business Conference, some of Europe’s most successful businessmen told us how they found good team players.
“A good team needs people with different skills and talents. It is good to bring new ideas into the organization. The best people can work with other people and develop ideas with a team. It is important that everyone uses their talents in the business. I look for people who have the skills and talents my business needs, but they must be able to work in a team.”(John Brown, Design Works)
“At interviews I like to bring a group together and look for people who work well in a group. A good team player is usually friendly and easy to talk to. They are also good at listening to other people. They are generous and happy to share their ideas. ”(Lee Chung, Computer World.)
“Most teams need a mixture of people. It is great to have people with ideas but you also need people who get things done on time. A team made up of people that all have the same skills would not work. You need to know what you are looking for.”(Jane Lin, Lin Electricals)
“I look for people who can bring out the best in other people. In a group you can see the people that know how to get a team working together. They understand teams and they can make them work. A good team is the key to success.”(Jim Khan, Northern Bank)

一、
1. sadness 2. difficulty 3. decision 4. worried 5. feeling

3 D excited意为“激动的”;bored意为“厌倦的”;moved意为“感动的”;relaxed意为“轻松的”。
