eecutives attempted to eplain its fall from the of the smartphone pyramid with three factors：1) that Nokia was technally inferior to le, 2) that the pany was placent and 3) that its leaders didnt see the disruptive iPhone ing.It has also been argued that it was none of the above.Nokia lost the smartphone battle because of divergent shared fears among the panys middle and managers whh led to pany-wide inertia that left it powerless to respond to les game.Based on the findings of an in-depth investigation and 76 interviews with and middle managers, enneers and eternal eperts, the researchers discovered a culture of fear due to temperamental leaders and that frightened middle managers were scared of telling the truth.The fear that froze the pany came from two places.First, the panys managers had a terrifying reputation.Some members of Nokias board and management were described as etremely temperamental and they regularly shouted at people at the of their lungs.It was very diffult to tell them things they didnt want to hear.Secondly, managers were afraid of the eternal environment and not meeting their quarterly targets, whh also impacted how they treated middle managers. managers thus made middle managers afraid of disointing them.Middle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet managers goals.Fearing the reactions of managers, middle managers remained silent or provided optimist, filtered information.Thus, middle managers directly lied to management.Worse, a culture of status inside Nokia made everyone want to hold onto vested power for fear of resources being allocated elsewhere if they delivered bad news or showed that they were not bold or ambitious enough to undertake challenng assignments.Beyond verbal pressure, managers also lied pressure for faster performance in personnel selection.This led middle managers to over promise and under deliver.One middle manager told us that you can get resources by promising something earlier, or promising a lot.Its sales work.While modest fear might be healthy for motivation, abusing it can be like overusing a drug, whh risks generating harmful side effects.To reduce this risk, leaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staff.Nokias managers should have encouraged safe dialogue, internal coordination and feedback to understand the true emotion in the organization.操作提示：正确选T，错误选F。1.Nokia lost the smartphone battle because its technology is not as good as that of le. 答案F 2.Nokias middle managers were frank to tell the truth, but the ones didnt listen to them.答案F 3.Nokias managers were too moody to hear anything good but harsh.答案T 4.Middle managers in Nokia delivered results more than they promised earlier.答案F 5.Nokias managers should have had better conversation techniques to encourage internal coordination and truth.答案T 单元自测2试题及答案 题目顺序是随机的，使用查找功能（CtrlF）进行搜索 题目 If you cant say what youve e to say at the meeting, whats the point？ ,but I

FAILURE TO MUNATE It is the 答案weirdest thing.There are more ways than ever to munate with people, yet it sometimes seems like it is more diffult to connect and stay 答案connected with anyone.Should you 答案shoot off an email？ Tap out a tet？ Post a private message on ？ Write on their wall？ Skype, poke, ping or conjure them up on a dital tin can phone？ And once you reach someone, you wonder：Is he paying attention？ How do you know？ Even with the techno-ease of 答案countless munation deves, conversations can still be troublesome.Questions are asked and answered 答案out of order.Instructions and directions go half-read.Meetings are botched.Feelings are hurt.二、阅读理解：根据文章内容，判断正误（共50分）。HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MUNATORS Its no secret that good leaders are also good munators.Indeed, munation and leadership are irably tied.How can you galvanize, inspire or guide others if you dont munate in a clear, credible and authent way？ Here are 5 essential munation practes of effective leaders：1.Mind the say-do gap.Trust is the bedrock of effective leadership your behavior is your single greatest mode of munation, and it must be congruent with what you say.If your actions dont align with your words, you are storing up trouble for the future.2.Make the ple simple.Effective leaders distill ple thoughts and stratees into simple, memorable terms that colleagues and customers can grasp and act upon.The most important thing is to clarify what you want to say, look out for technal jargon and avoid business speak, whh add pleity.Say what you mean in as few words as possible.3.Find your own voe.Use language thats distinctly your own；let your values e through in your munation.Correct use of language and grammar are important, of course, but dont bee overly fiated on eloquence for eloquences sake；concentrate on being distinct and real.People want real, people respect real, people follow real.4.Be visible Visibility is about letting your key stakeholders get a feel for who you are and what you care about.Dont hide behind a puter and only interact with people electronally see them face to face and voe to voe, and interact with them in a real, substantial way.In todays environment, where people are often burned out, its important for employees to have a personal connection with you and the work you believe in.Show the people that work for you that youre engaged and that you care about them and their work.5.Listen with your eyes as well as your ears.Effective munation is a two-way process, and good leaders know how to ask good questions, and then listen with both their eyes and their ears.Because you are in a position of authority, others may be reluctant to epress their real opinions to you directly.You wont always get direct feedback, so you need to also be able to read between the lines and look for the non-verbal cues.操作提示：正确选T，错误选F。1.munation and leadership dont always go hand in hand.答案F 2.The say-do gap hens when people misunderstand their leaders intention.答案F 3.Using technal jargon makes a leader convincing.答案F 4.munating sincerely is always the best.答案T 5.Observation is as important as munation when you want to know what people really think.答案T 二、阅读理解：根据文章内容，完成选择题（共50分）。MUNATION FAILURE The meaning of munation goes a lot deeper than people often think.munation is about conceiving, sending, receiving, and interpreting messages as well as confirming reception of these messages.A failure at any point in this chain can result in ineffective munation.Ineffective munation can be disastrous.There is a famous story of a British Army mander who sent the message Send reinforcements, were going to advance.back to his mand Center, through a long chain of subordinates.When the message finally reached the mand Center, it had mutated to bee - Send three and four-pence, were going to a dance.The reinforcements never arrived.You can demonstrate this same principle, albeit on a less dramat scale, by trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 people.It is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with.In a business, there are three main types of munation failure.Each has its own indative signs.？The first type is known as allocative failure.This occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or (most often), the information is not reaching the right points.The firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demand.If demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative munation failure, then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing.If the inverse hens, there will be a surplus of stocks and overstaffing.？The second type is eecutive failure, where munation to trigger specif events/actions is either late, lacking or in error.The symptoms of this are a general loss of direction in the pany or departments, a loss of co-ordination and an increase in plaints from customers as things hen late or not at all.？The final type is human failure.This occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between partular individuals or departments do not foster effective munation.This leads to alienated staff, an increase in staff turnover, an increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staff.Creativity, especially that whh takes place across departmental boundaries, is likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips.操作提示：通过题目后的下拉选项框选择正确答案。1.Confirming reception of the sent messages meansC.A.the messages are sent to right receivers B.the messages are correctly understood 答案C.the messages are correctly understood by right receivers 2.In the famous British Army mander story, whh step probably did NOT go wrong in the munation chain？A 答案A.Conceiving.B.Sending.C.Receiving.3.What is Chinese whispers？B A.Who whispers in Chinese.答案B.A game to pass message around in a whisper.C.Chinese people who dont normally talk very loudly.4.Allocative failure does NOT hen whenA.答案A.the right information goes to the right place B.a pany gathers false information C.the correct information is not received by the right department or person 5.According to the passage, whh of the follog cases does NOT belong to human failure？C A.Decreasing creativity across departments.B.Inadequate munation between departments.答案C.Increasing customer plaints.单元自测3试题及答案 题目顺序是随机的，使用查找功能（CtrlF）进行搜索 题目 How do you get your

the fact that they wouldnt share information or solutions with each other, and the team leader thought they were too focused on themselves and not on the team.As a result, she brought them all into the cafeteria.All of the tables and chairs had been stored away, and fun decorations and hundreds of different colored balloons had been placed around the room.In the center of the room was a big bo of balloons that hadnt been blown up yet.The team leader instructed everybody to pk a balloon, blow it up, and write their name on it, but they had to be careful not to burst the balloon.Although they were ven a second chance if their first balloon popped, they were out of the game the second time round.In the end, about 30 team members wrote their names without their balloons popping.They were then asked to leave the room and, after five minutes, the team leader brought them back in and asked them to find the balloon with their name on it amongst the hundreds of other balloons in the room.After 15 minutes of searching, no one had found their balloon, and the team were told that they were then going to move on to the third round of the activity.In this round, each team member was instructed to find any balloon with a name on it and then ve that balloon to the person whose name was on it.Within two minutes, everybody had their own balloon.The team leader summarized the activity thus：We are much more effient when we are willing to share with each other and much better at problem solving when we are working together, not individually.Sometimes, members of teams create obstacles by focusing solely on their own pursuits and goals.Every member of the team should ask themselves on a regular basis what they are doing and what they can do for the team.操作提示：通过题目后的下拉选项框选择正确答案。1.This team building event was aimed at B.A.helping these young, bright and enthusiast employees bee more concentrated on their work 答案B.making the team members know how to

building, do you immediately pture your group off at a resort playing games or hanng from ropes？ Traditionally, many organizations roach team building in this way but, then, they wonder why that wonderful sense of teamwork that had been displayed at the retreat or the seminar fails to impact long term beliefs and actions back at work.Im not averse to retreats, planning sessions, seminars and team building activities in fact I lead them but they have to form part of a much larger teamwork effort.You will not build teamwork by retreating as a group for a couple of days each year, instead you need to think of team building as something you do every single day.？ Form teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processes.Provide training in systemat methods so the team epends its energy on the project, not on trying to work out how to work together as a team to roach the problem.？ Hold department meetings to review projects and progress, to obtain broad input, and to coordinate shared work processes.If there is frtion between team members, eamine the work processes they mutually own the problem is not usually their personalities；instead, it is often the fact that the team members havent agreed on how they will deliver a product or serve, or the steps required to get something done.？ Build fun and shared occasions into the organizations agenda hold pot luck lunches, take the team to a sporting event, sponsor dinners at a local restaurant, go hiking or go to an amusement park.Hold a monthly pany meeting, sponsor sports teams and encourage cheering team fans.？ Use e breakers and teamwork eercises at meetin
