One of the keys to Apple is Apple's an incredibly collaborative company.
2
And so, you know how many committees we have at Apple?
3
No. Zero.
4
We have no committees.
5
No committees.
6
We are organized like a startup.
7
One person's in charge of iPhone OS software.
8
One person's in charge of Mac hardware.
9
One person's in charge of iPhone hardware engineering.
10
Another person's in charge of worldwide marketing.
11
Another person's in charge of operations.
12
We're organized like a startup.
13
We're the biggest startup on the planet.
14
And we all meet for three hours once a week, and we talk about everything we're doing, the whole business.
15
And there's tremendous teamwork at the top of the company, which filters down to tremendous teamwork throughout the company.
16
And teamwork is dependent on trusting the other folks to come through with their part without watching them all the time,
17
but trusting that they're going to come through with their parts.
18
And that's what we do really well.
19
And we're great at figuring out how to divide things up into these great teams that we have
20
and all work on the same thing, touch bases frequently, and bring it all together into a product.
21
We do that really well.
22
And so what I do all day is meet with teams of people
23
and work on ideas and solve problems to make new products, to make new marketing programs, whatever it is.
24
And are people willing to tell you you're wrong?
25
Yeah.
26
I mean, other than snarky journalists.
27
I mean, people that work for you.
28
Oh, yeah.
29
No, we have wonderful arguments.
30
And do you win them all?
31
Oh, no. I wish I did.
32
No, see, you can't.
33
If you want to hire great people and have them stay working for you, You have to let them make a lot of decisions,
34
and you have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy.
35
The best ideas have to win.
36
Otherwise, good people don't stay.
37
But you must be more than a facilitator who runs meetings.
38
You obviously contribute your own ideas.
39
I contribute ideas, sure.
40
Well, why would I be there if I didn't?

练习技巧

在进行影子跟读时，建议您注意史蒂夫·乔布斯的语调和节奏：他的语速适中，但在表达重要观点时会略有停顿。在刚开始时，您可以采用以下技巧来提高您的英语发音：

  • 逐句模仿：从短句开始，逐句跟读，注意语音的起伏和重音，逐渐提高到整段跟读。
  • 停顿练习：在关键的地方模仿停顿，例如在提到“团队合作”或“信任”时，使您的讲话更具节奏感。
  • 重读重要词汇：在提到关键词汇如“创意”和“决策”时，注重清晰发音，有助于提升听众对您表述的理解。
  • 定时练习：建议每天花一定的时间进行英语影子跟读，利用看YouTube学英语的资源，提升口语流利程度和自信心。

通过不断地练习和反馈，您将在沟通中更加自如，能在团队中发挥更大的作用。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
