For each question 23-28, choose the correct answer. Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. Kitchen Software Anyone wants to

15、know what someone is tike, have a look at their office. Tidy desk, efficient mind. Untidy desk, busy mind. But this doesnt fit Gordon Jackman, who started business software producer Quillatic. He works at home, in untidiest kitchen Ive ever seen, yet he strangely hates untidiness in business more th

16、an anything else. At the same time lie admits that he has little interest in detail. Jackman describes Iris colleagues as sweepers. He explains: I can only get as far as the first 80% of an idea, but I know this weakness, so I leave it to everyone else to finish my ideas, to make sure details arent

17、forgotten. People who dont know their weaknesses run untidy companies and have unhappy companies. Jackman is a strong believer in testing peoples personal qualifies as part of the recruitment process, and he and his 60 employees were all tested. He admits that such a strong belief in this is unusual

18、 in business, but adds, Have you ever noticed how teachers seem to be the same type of person? People do seem to select the job thats right for their type. Most of his ideas, he says, are not new but come from reading just about every management book thats published. You wouldnt expect a doctor not

19、to have read anything about medicine since qualifying, yet with management it seems to be allowed , he says. You have to read whatevers out there. Even if a book gives you only one idea, its something you didnt have before. Jackman believes in developing his staff, but business deals come first, I b

20、elieve in appointing people to do what they can and not more. So, for example, at the moment I have a very good salesman who has almost completed a sale but wont close the deal himself as he doesnt have enough experience yet. At the same time, he has strong ideas about rewards. Sales staff can earn

21、as much as managers because I recognise that if one persons doing a great job at managing, and another at selling, theres no reason for a difference in pay. And although experience may make a difference, in the end its actions that count. Operating a company from a kitchen may not be recommended by
