Anyone who has taken up the responsibility to lead a team can
be successful only by being sufficiently independent and
powerful in her or his own right. What can one do to
strengthen personal freedom? I would like to share two
techniques I adopt.
The first is to build your education and skills. Knowledge is a
tangible asset, quite often the most important tool in your
work. The more up-to-date the knowledge you possess, the
more free you are. Knowledge cannot be taken away from
anyone. To lead, in a way, is to engage in continuing
education. I understand that many professionals often go to
college several nights every week, so that they do not lose
track of current trends. To be a successful team leader, one has
to stay back after the din and clutter of a working day to review
the work done and emerge better-equipped to face a new day.
The second way is to develop a passion for personal responsibility.
Be active! Take on responsibility! Work for the things you believe in.
b) Read the comprehension passage and answer the below
questions.
Skills for the 21st-century workplace. Have you got the skills you need
for the 21st-century workplace?
We need to develop all kinds of skills to survive in the 21st century.
Some, like ICT skills and knowledge of the digital world, are taught
explicitly in schools in the UK. Here are five less obvious ones for you
to think about. These are the sorts of skills that employers may ask you
questions about in interviews, so it’s a good idea to think about how
good you are in these areas. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Imagination: In the age of technology that we are living in now, it is
no longer enough to keep on making the same products. Employers
need people who can imagine new approaches and new ideas. Think:
Think of an object or gadget you use every day. How could it be
improved? Can you think of three improvements?
Problem solving: Employers will value workers who are able to see
problems before they happen and come up with creative solutions.
Think: Imagine you are organizing an end-of-term social event at
school. Think of some problems that you could face. Can you think of
any solutions?
Communication skills: Workers will have to be good communicators.
They will have to be able to negotiate and discuss key issues and also
write in a clear way without using too many words. Think: How do
people communicate with each other in the 21st century?
Critical analysis: Employers want workers who are able to recognise
the difference between information that can be believed and false
information. Think: Use the internet to find out three facts about a
celebrity or famous figure. Can you verify the information by
checking other websites?
Decision making: Individual workers have a growing amount of
responsibility. It is important to be able to evaluate a situation and be
confident in making a decision. Think: Which three things could you
do to (a) be healthier (b) do better at school and (c) help others? Make
a decision now to do at least one of these things. Then … just do it.
Answer the questions
c) People communicate with each other less in the 21st century.
(True/False)
d) It is important that workers can ___________ between truth &
lies.
e) Workers need to be able to___________ their work with their
team.
