I’m Michael Bush, Managing Director of Hoogle Engineering. I am pleased to welcome you here to our website and I’d like to tell you a little about the company and its organization. Hoogle Engineering was set up in 1960. It was divided into several departments at that time, such as the sales department, marketing department, and production department. Lots of managers were employed to manage it all.

Fortunately things are different now. Sixty people are employed by Hoogle and communication between departments is considered to be one of the most important aspects of the business. The market is global so we need to make contact with customers worldwide, not just locally. But in the old days we were all in different departments and never spoke to each other. We had a tall structure. Traditionally we had people at the first level on the shop floor, manufacturing products according to the instructions which they were given. Then you had a supervisory level of people who supervised them every day. Then you moved up to the middle management, who were doing the tasks of getting new business, and then you had the senior management team, and then you had the board, who decided the business strategy. So there were a lot of levels in the company in the old days actually.

The structure today is that we form teams within teams to place people who can manufacture a product. Each team has members that can manufacture different products. The actual teams now are self-managing, so we don’t even have team leaders. You’ve got the teams, and then you’ve got two people, only two people, who are what you think of as management. This is generally called flat structure. 题目16

We live in an age full of opportunities: If you are smart enough, and have got ambition and keep pushing forward, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, no matter where you started out.

But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren’t managing their employees’ careers. Professional workers must be their own chief executive officers (CEO). It’s up to you to strive for your place, to keep yourself engaged and productive during a working life that may last around 50 years. To do those things well, you’ll need to have a deep understanding of yourself – not only what your strengths and weaknesses are, but also how you learn, how you work with others, what your values are, and where you can make the greatest

contribution. Because only when you operate from strength can you achieve true excellence.

History’s great achievers – Napoléon, da Vinci, and Mozart – have always managed themselves. But they are so unusual both in their talents and their accomplishments as to be considered rare exceptions. Now, most of us, even those of us with modest talents, will have to learn to manage ourselves. We will have to learn to develop ourselves. We will have to place ourselves where we can make the greatest contribution. And we will have to stay mentally alert and engaged during a 50-year working life, which means knowing how and when to change the work we do. 题目21
