It has also been argued that it was none of the above. Nokia lost the smartphone battle because of divergent shared fears among the companys middle and top managers which led to company-wide inertia that left it powerless to respond to Apples game. Based on the findings of an in-depth investigation and 76 interviews with top and middle managers, engineers and external experts, 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 company came from two places. First, the companys top managers had a terrifying reputation. Some members of Nokias board and top management were described as extremely temperamental and they regularly shouted at people at the top of their lungs. It was very difficult to tell them things they didnt want to hear. Secondly, top managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targets, which also impacted how they treated middle managers. Top managers thus made middle managers afraid of disappointing them. Middle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet top managers goals. Fearing the reactions of top managers, middle managers remained silent or provided optimistic, filtered information. Thus, middle managers directly lied to top 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 challenging assignments. Beyond verbal pressure, top managers also applied 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, which risks generating harmful side effects. To reduce this risk, leaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staff. Nokias top 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 Apple. 答案F 2. Nokias middle managers were frank to tell the truth, but the top ones didnt listen to them. 答案F 3. Nokias top 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 top 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 题目依次是随机的，运用查找功能(CtrlF)进行搜寻 题目 If you cant say what youve come to say at the meeting, whats the point？ _,but I think you might need to change your approach somewhat. 答案I can see that 题目 Will you go on a picnic with us tomorrow？ _. 答案Im afraid I have no idea 题目_identify the problems that have been occurring？ Well, as you know, the problems we had with Gary caused a lot of friction among the team. 答案Are you able to 题目How can you explain the latest situation？ _,I know it is all my fault. 答案Sorry 题目How did your meeting go yesterday？ _actually, it was really frustrating. 答案Not so good 题目Effective leaders distill complex thoughts and strategies into simple, memorable terms _ colleagues and customers can grasp and act upon. 答案that 题目Every time I tried to say something, he would _ to something else. 答案move on 题目Hes left now, but productivity hasnt _that much. 答案picked up 题目I think the primary _factor is theres been so much absence lately. 答案contributing 题目If demand is rising but the firm _ from communication failure, then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing. 答案is suffering 题目In todays environment, _ people are often burned out, its important for employees to have a personal connection with you and the work you believe in. 答案where 题目What you need to do is to keep things short and sweet, just the _. 答案highlights 题目When the message finally reached the Command Center, it _ mutated to become Send three and four-pence, were going to a dance. 答案had 题目Who was _ the meeting？ 答案chairing 二、完型填空(共50分) 操作提示：通过下拉选项框选择正确的词汇。WHAT WE HAVE HERE： A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE It is the 答案weirdest thing.

Indeed, communication and leadership are inextricably tied. How can you galvanize, inspire or guide others if you dont communicate in a clear, credible and authentic way？ Here are 5 essential communication practices of effective leaders： 1. Mind the say-do gap. Trust is the bedrock of effective leadership your behavior is your single greatest mode of communication, 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 complex simple. Effective leaders distill complex thoughts and strategies 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 technical jargon and avoid business speak, which add complexity. Say what you mean in as few words as possible. 3. Find your own voice. Use language thats distinctly your own；let your values come through in your communication. Correct use of language and grammar are important, of course, but dont become overly fixated 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 computer and only interact with people electronically see them face to face and voice to voice, 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 communication 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 express 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. Communication and leadership dont always go hand in hand. 答案F 2. The say-do gap happens when people misunderstand their leaders intention. 答案F 3. Using technical jargon makes a leader convincing. 答案F 4. Communicating sincerely is always the best. 答案T 5. Observation is as important as communication when you want to know what people really think. 答案T 二、阅读理解：依据文章内容，完成选择题(共50分)。COMMUNICATION FAILURE The meaning of communication goes a lot deeper than people often think. Communication 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 communication. Ineffective communication can be disastrous. There is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message Send reinforcements, were going to advance. back to his Command Center, through a long chain of subordinates. When the message finally reached the Command Center, it had mutated to become - Send three and four-pence, were going to a dance. The reinforcements never arrived. You can demonstrate this same principle, albeit on a less dramatic 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 communication failure. Each has its own indicative 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 communication failure, then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing. If the inverse happens, there will be a surplus of stocks and overstaffing. ？The second type is executive failure, where communication to trigger specific events/actions is either late, lacking or in error. The symptoms of this are a general loss of direction in the company or departments, a loss of co-ordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all. ？The final type is human failure. This occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communication. This leads to alienated staff, an increase in staff turnover, an increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staff. Creativity, especially that which 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.
