对于管理人员来讲,鼓舞员工士气十分重要。一起来看一下下面的对话中,可以学到些什么吧。



Angela: Sara, this is our new sales quota for the month.

Sara: You can't be serious. We can't make that many sales. You know we've been facing incredibly stiff competition recently.

Angela: Sara, true brilliance is finding ways to reach difficult goals.

Sara: How about impossible goals?

Angela: The greater the goal, the greater the reward - not to mention your bonus.

Sara: Surely I know this, but how can we increase our sales by that much?

Angela: Well, let's think outside the box. What can we offer that on one could refuse?

Sara: well, it's back-to-school time. We could...we could undercut our competition, start selling in other regions, hire another sales rep firm...

Angela: Now you're on to something. Now get out there and make it happen.

Sara: (Determined) Perhaps I can find a way. Yes, I am going to move mountains.



Notes:

sales quota:销售指标

stiff competition:激烈的竞争

true brilliance:真正的聪明人

think outside the box:跳出固有思维模式

on to something:进入状况

move mountains:字面意思看起来,似乎让我们想起了"愚公移山"的故事。其实它的引申意思就是,竭尽全力,创造奇迹。
