商務(wù)英語播客 第72課:處理危機(jī)之策劃篇
In this Business English Pod lesson, we’ll see how important it is to strategize and plan when you’re handling a crisis.
在這節(jié)商務(wù)英語播客中，我們來看下當(dāng)你處理危機(jī)時策劃和計劃時多么的重要。
Any crisis is a test of business strength. To be more specific, it’s a test of people in business. There’s nothing like a crisis to show us who can handle the pressure and who will crack. Can your business come through a crisis well? Do you have people with the right leadership skills anddecision-making abilities to handle the crisis successfully? Let’s see how our team handles things.
什么樣的危機(jī)都是對商業(yè)實力的測試。具體來說，是對處理商業(yè)的人的測試。再沒有像危機(jī)那樣能夠顯示誰能處理好壓力，誰會崩潰。你的商業(yè)能度過危機(jī)嗎?你有擁有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)技巧并能成功處理危機(jī)的決策能力的人嗎?我們來看下如何處理危機(jī)。
Our last episode was about taking control in a crisis. We heard Sandy and Mike report a factory accident to their boss Frank. Frank handled that early part of the crisis well. He calmed his employees down, gave them clear orders, and reassured them.
