1
Mullally, when he left Boeing and took over Ford, he did many things right.
2
And he's the brand new CEO and he drives up on his first day of work in a Lexus.
3
And everybody's incensed.
4
And he says, it's a better car.
5
He's not trying to put Lexus out of business.
6
He's trying to make Ford better.
7
And he said to them, have you never driven one?
8
They're like, no, we only drive Fords.
9
He's like, so you don't even know what you're missing.
10
Like, how can you make a better car if you don't even know what the others are doing?
11
Because I guarantee you, they've driven ours.
12
Right?
13
And so he then required all of his executives to go drive all of the competitors' cars every single day to work.
14
He just bought tons of foreign cars so that they would drive them.
15
Otherwise, how do you know?
16
And it's all because of ego, right?
17
Which is, we're Ford, we only drive Fords.
18
And so you're completely oblivious to the world that's changing around you.
19
And you only find out, it's a lagging indicator, you only find out years later when your numbers are in the toilet, your market share is in the toilet, and you're years behind trying to make a better product.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
