The CEO needs to be a coach, not a referee. You everyone is cut out to be a leader. K: I think one of the primary skills a leader needs is the ability to listen. David觉得 Vincent 最大的问题之一是喜欢 micro-manage 管得太细。He sticks his nose into everything. 不论什么事他都要插手，to stick one's nose into something 意思是插手某事。Ken 也说，Vincent 在很多问题上优柔寡断，而且不会听取意见。David 还说，not everyone is cut out to be a leader. 不是人人都能当领导的。to be cut out for something 意思是适合做某事。D: Vincent is terrible at that. He frequently seems to completely misunderstand what we're trying to get across.

I'll be writing him a private letter next week and expressing our thoughts on the matter. ---5---.K: , I guess that's the best way. We'll give him a chance to either improve or resign.D: And if he rejects those options, we'll try a vote of no confidence.K: Ok, David....I'm on board. Let's give it a 建议 give him a chance to avoid embarrassment 设法避免让Vincent难堪，David表示赞同，决定先给 Vincent写封私人信件，阐述他们的意见，希望Ken能在上面联署。Ken承认，这可能是最好的方式，说，I'm on board. 算我一个，Let's give it a shot. 咱们试试看。He sticks his nose into everything instead of leaving the day-to-day decisions to the guys who know what they're doingHe also seems rather uncertain and indecisive about many thingsit will serve as a wake-up call and he might change his style he might step down if he realizes he's lost the support of the boardI'd appreciate it if you would sign the letter as well这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>
