BEP 138 – Sailing Idioms: Company Performance (1)

在此商務英語Pod中, we’re going to look at how 商業習語 related to ships and sailing can be used to describe company performance.

The image of a ship is a powerful one in business. The ship is like a companya huge entity that must be steered toward success, maintained properly, and carefully guided away from dangers like storms and rocks. Employees are often seen as a crew of sailors, a group that must work together as a team. So sailing idioms frequently appear when we discuss business in English.

Listening Questions
