BEP 126 – 英語会議: 問題について議論する (1)

会議を開催する最も一般的な理由の1つは、問題を解決することです. A meeting can be a great place to do this, because it is possible for a variety of people with different experiences and perspectives to work together to identify the problem and come up with possible solutions.

だが, 会議に適切な人がいるかもしれませんが, 1つの質問が明確に尋ねられ、回答されていないため、プロセスに欠陥があることがよくあります: "何が問題ですか?” So, in today’s episode we’re going to focus on how to define the problem through discussion and then restate the problem as a challenge. In the second part of this series, we’ll look at how to evaluate and eliminate suggestions and then agree on a plan of action.

We’ll be listening to Kathryn, the head of Human Resources at a medium-sized company, who is meeting with department heads to discuss a problem they’re having with low staff morale across all departments of the company. Morale is a word used to describe a general feeling or mood.

Kathryn wants everyone to consider possible hidden reasons for low morale at the company. We’ll see how she helps participants focus on breaking down the morale problem. ダイアログが始まると, Kathryn calls everyone to attention and begins the meeting.

リスニングの質問:

1) What is the surface problem that Kathryn and the others can see?
2) What does the group decide is the true cause of this problem?
3) What is the challenge that the group faces at the end of the dialog?
