This Business English Pod lesson is the final part in our series on handling a crisis. We’ll see how to start moving forward after the first phase of a crisis has passed.
这是有关处理危机的系列课程的最后一节。来看下在危机的第一阶段过后该如何前行。
A crisis is a stressful situation. People are under pressure and meetings or conversations can be tense. But if everyone maintains the same goal, and a good leader gives direction to a group, a crisis can be overcome. And overcoming a crisis means talking about how to move forward.
危机是令人感到压抑的状况。人们在压力下，在会面和谈话中都会紧绷神经。如果大家目标一致，好的领导会给大家明确的方向，那样危机就会克服。克服危机也意味着该谈论如何继续前行。
In our last episode, we heard a conference call, as the team of Frank, Mike, Sandy, Monika, and Simone re-evaluated the situation and tried to gain some perspective. They talked about how the crisis has been handled, and things became a little tense, especially between Simone and Mike.
