【答案解析】A: Hi, Ms B, you know, our company is sort of out of control these days. Don't you think so? B: Yeah. Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company. And that obviously has a lot to do with poor time management. A: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems. Why? B: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite idea of when they should complete a certain task. And... A: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task. B: That's the point. So time should be planned according to the roes of the tasks we need to deal with. A: So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our company? B: You mean what procedures we can adopt? A: Sure. That's what our boss is asking us to do. Right? B: Right. I think we've got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staff members realize how important effective time management is to our company. A: Yes, I think we can give them instruction in time management, especially those in supervisory positions. B: Right, perhaps we can nm a few training programs for them. If needed, we may invite some experts from outside to help us. A: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member, come up with a job description of their own, In this way, they can be pretty sure about what they are responsible for and what they are not. B: Yes, that's a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to. In this way, we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first. A: Good idea. So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own. B: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.
