1
You can't incentivize performance.
2
You can only incentivize behavior, right?
3
And so if something goes wrong, do you go off the handle?
4
Do you lose your cool?
5
Do you start screaming and yelling?
6
That's creating an environment where nobody wants to tell you anything because nobody wants even if you're not yelling at them
7
You're just banging the table and you're frustrated, right?
8
We've all done it or even if they feel the energy
9
And if you start and I unfortunately I'm a reactor, right?
10
So I react badly and then in 30 seconds later.
11
I'm fine.
12
Yeah, right?
13
And so I'm like, oh, you know that's nobody wants to tell me anything
14
No, if that's my reaction, right, you know,
15
but like I like I said about the one where we accidentally sent out 17 ,000 emails and I started giggling.
16
Yeah, like people will tell me stuff.
17
Yeah, you know if they know that's my reactor
18
I'll tell you one of the ways I learned this lessons
19
and I got this from the from the US military from the Air Force
20
So in the business world if somebody like spends two weeks doing their PowerPoint they have the meeting, they give the big presentation,
21
and at the end of the presentation, they go, eh, pretty good, right?
22
Like, that's what we want in the business world.
23
We want people to tell us we did well.
24
Sure.
25
Right?
26
I saw this happen multiple times in the Air Force, where somebody worked two weeks on their PowerPoint, they came and gave their big presentation,
27
and at the end of the presentation, they look at the audience, they said, Spears?
28
spears they literally say throw spears at my work so
29
that you can help me make my work better they literally ask for it yeah
30
so we just adopted spears yeah and
31
so now in my in at work anybody who presents anything an idea uh whatever
32
it is they will say spears um
33
or you know somebody to say I got a spear for you you know
34
and so we now have this culture where we're we are criticizing
35
but we're not criticizing you we want to make
36
this better right us versus the problem not us versus each other right
37
and this magical culture where people do not mind sharing things imperfectly
38
because they know that we have this culture of spears are good

需要注意的發音
說話人用了 11 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 I'm, you're, we're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, incentivize /ɪnˈsɛntɪvaɪz/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: versus /ˈvɝsəs/, incentivize /ɪnˈsɛntɪvaɪz/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: versus /ˈvɝsəs/, criticize /ˈkɹɪtɪsaɪz/, adopt /əˈdɑpt/, react /ɹiːˈækt/, incentivize /ɪnˈsɛntɪvaɪz/
- /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: reactor /ɹiˈæktɚ/, badly /ˈbæd.li/, bang /ˈbæŋ/, accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, magical /ˈmæd͡ʒ.ɪ.kəl/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟讀，熟練之後再回到正常速度。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 spear, versus, yell 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
