Section 4.
2
You will hear part of a lecture for business students about business values.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
In public discussion of business, we take certain values for granted.
7
Today I'm going to talk about four of them.
8
Collaboration, hard work, creativity and excellence.
9
Most people would say they're all good things.
10
I'm going to suggest that's an over -simple view.
11
The trouble with these values is that they're theoretical concepts, removed from the reality of day -to -day business.
12
Pursue values by all means, but be prepared for what may happen as a result.
13
They can actually cause damage, which is not at all the intention.
14
Business leaders generally try to do the right thing,
15
but all too often the right thing backfires if those leaders adopt values without understanding and managing the side effects that arise.
16
The values can easily get in the way of what's actually intended.
17
OK, so the first value I'm going to discuss is collaboration.
18
Let me give you an example.
19
On a management training course I once attended,
20
we were put into groups and had to construct a bridge across a stream using building blocks that we were given.
21
The rule was that everyone in the team had to move at least one building block during the construction.
22
This was intended to encourage teamwork.
23
But it was really a job best done by one person.
24
The other teams tried to collaborate on building the structure and descended into confusion, with everyone getting in each other's way.
25
Our team leader solved the challenge brilliantly.
26
She simply asked everyone in the team to move a piece a few centimetres to comply with the rule,
27
and then let the person in the team with an aptitude for puzzles like this build it alone.
28
We finished before any other team.
29
My point is that the task wasn't really suited to teamworking, so why make it one?
30
Teamwork can also lead to inconsistency, a common cause of poor sales.
31
In the case of a smartphone that a certain company launched, one director wanted to target the business market,
32
and another demanded it was aimed at consumers.
33
The company wanted both directors to be involved, so gave the product a consumer -friendly name, but marketed it to companies.
34
The result was that it met the needs of neither group.
35
It would have been better to let one director or the other have his way, not both.
36
Now, industriousness or hard work.
37
It's easy to mock people who say they work hard.
38
After all, a hamster running around in a wheel is working hard and getting nowhere.
39
Of course hard work is valuable, but only when properly targeted,
40
otherwise it wastes the resources that companies value most – time and energy, and that's bad for the organisation.
41
There's a management model that groups people according to four criteria.
42
Clever, hard -working, stupid and lazy.
43
Here, lazy means having a rational determination not to carry out unnecessary tasks.
44
It doesn't mean trying to avoid work altogether.
45
Most people display two of these characteristics, and the most valuable people are those who are both clever and lazy.
46
They possess intellectual clarity, and they don't rush into making decisions.
47
They come up with solutions to save the time and energy spent by the stupid and hard -working group.
48
Instead of throwing more man -hours at a problem, the clever and lazy group looks for a more effective solution.
49
Next, we come to creativity.
50
This often works well.
51
Creating an attention -grabbing TV commercial, for example, might lead to increased sales.
52
But it isn't always a good thing.
53
Some advertising campaigns are remembered for their creativity without having any effect on sales.
54
This happened a few years ago with the launch of a chocolate bar.
55
Subsequent research showed that plenty of consumers remembered the adverts, but had no idea what was being advertised.
56
The trouble is that the creator derives pleasure from coming up with the idea, and wrongly assumes the audience for the campaign will share that feeling.
57
A company that brings out thousands of new products may seem more creative than a company that only has a few,
58
but it may be too creative.
59
and make smaller profits creativity needs to be targeted to solve a problem
60
that the company has identified just coming up with more and more novel products isn't necessarily a good thing
61
and finally excellence we all know companies that claim they strive for excellence but it takes a long time to achieve excellence.
62
In business, being first with a product is more profitable than having the best product.
63
A major study of company performance compared pioneers, that is, companies bringing out the first version of a particular product,
64
with followers, the companies that copied and improved on that product.
65
The study found that the pioneers commanded an average market share of 29%,
66
while the followers achieved less than half that, only 13%, even though their product might have been better.
67
Insisting on excellence in everything we do is time -consuming, wastes energy, and leads to losing out on opportunities.
68
Sometimes second -rate work is more worthwhile than excellence.
69
Make sure it's excellent sounds like a good approach to business, but the just -get -started approach is likely to be more successful.
70
That is the end of Section 4.
71
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
72
Thank you.
73
In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

Grammatik in diesem Video

Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:

StrukturIm Video
Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tutwere put · was intended · wasn't really suited
Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sachedamage, which is · people who say · those who are

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 10 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'm, isn't, they're. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

  • Die „th“-Laute: altogether /ɔl.tuˈɡɛð.ɚ/, theoretical /ˌθi.əˈɹɛt.ɪ.kəl/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/
  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, rush /ɹʌʃ/, sheet /ʃit/, organisation /ˈɔː.ɡə.naɪˌzeɪ.ʃən/, intention /ɪnˈtɛnʃn̩/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: creativity /kri.eɪˈtɪv.ᵻ.ti/, collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, organisation /ˈɔː.ɡə.naɪˌzeɪ.ʃən/, intellectual /ˌɪntəˈlɛkt͡ʃʊəl/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

  • /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): nowhere /ˈnoʊ.(h)wɛɹ/, subsequent /ˈsʌbsɪkwənt/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/
  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: solve /sɒlv/, intend /ɪnˈtɛnd/, encourage /ɪnˈkʌɹ.ɪd͡ʒ/, arise /əˈɹaɪz/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, rational /ˈɹæʃ(ə)nəl/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, clarity /ˈklæɹ.ɪ.ti/, advertise /ˈædvɚˌtaɪ̯z/

So übst du mit diesem Video

  1. Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
  2. Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
  3. Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie excellence, lazy, creativity.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
