Reading and Language Market Leader Advanced – Unit 2: Training – HocHay
A. Read the anecdote below about the Chinese fridge-maker Haier and answer these questions.

1. What lesson did the new boss want his employees to learn?

2. How would you react if a manager at your organisation did something similar?

Đáp án:
1. The lesson the boss at Haier wanted the employees to learn was one of ‘creative destruction’: to do things well, or to be more creative, it is sometimes better to destroy what you have done and start all over again

B. Read the article below about Haier and discuss these questions.

1. What is Haier’s approach to executive education?

2. What are the benefits of this approach?

Đáp án:
1. Haier’s approach to executive education is very practical and involves executives working in teams, discussing problems across the company, learning about other departments, trying out ideas for possible solutions and then reporting back to colleagues in class.

2. The possible benefits to this approach are that managers learn about the company as a whole as they learn how to ‘connect the dots’ and stop seeing things only from their position in the organisation, which makes them more versatile as managers. They also learn to improve their general management skills in a very practical way, putting ideas into practice at work. Haier therefore gets an immediate ‘return on investment’ from the training.
