They know when and how to apply pressure and to take risks, when they need to display a more hands-off approach. I have a pretty clear view of my ideal business leader, and of course that’s where I ‘m trying to head: he or she should start up and grow a cash-rich, multi-interest international organization of tremendous strength and depth. 　　B 　　Sue Tucker 　　The pace of technological change, and the rate at which businesses are changing , requires leaders to have a particular aptitude for technology and an understanding of the inter. A lot of people are aware of the opportunities here ,but awareness alone isn’t enough: in a true leader this needs to be coupled with clever marketing, product design and technological innovation, and keeping abreast of everything going on in the pany. In fact the acid test , I think , is being ablle to use all of these skills to turn around a failing pany. 　　C 　　Carol Godfrey 　　Effective leaders stand out from the herd. They’re often idiosyncratic, even eentric.They have the confidence to be themselves, and not to adopt the language and attributes of the run-of-the-mill professional managers and aountants. What’s crucial is having the charisma or whatever it is that gives their staff confidence in them, so they can keep everyone on board when they want to make innovations. So often these don’t get off the ground because of lack of leadership, because after all, our response to change is significantly affected by how it’s introduced. 　　E Ana Costa 　　Outstanding leaders understand both tactics and strategy, and are prepared to play a very long game to achieve their objectives. They understand that in negotiations they need the “ win-win” concept, because losers risk losing their dignity, which is no good for your long-term business relationship with them. Leaders must stay optimistic, whatever the odds, and keep up morale of their pany, even when the going’s tough. It’s important to be very much hands-on, too. A good leader will champion ideas that keep the pany in the forefront. 　　Read the text taken from an article about the development of international managers 　　Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps . 　　For each gap 9– 14, mark one letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet . 　　Do not use any letter more than once . 　　There is an example at the beginning .(0) 　　Search for the “ worldly –wise” pany executives 　　The quest for international managers is underway in virtually every industrialized economy , the search has been made urgent by the globalization of world markets and the growth in crossborder mergers and acquisitions. (0) Many firms report being so stretched that they simply do not have enough of the high-quality people they require to lead their their global expansion. 　　Other panies are having difficulties releasing experienced people from existing operations in order to lead new international ventures. There are indications that a shorftage of internationally skilled people may be an important constraint on firms’ international ambitions. (9) However, identifying the need for international managers is easier than developing them. 　　So what makes an international manager? Paul Evans, a professor at INSEAD, the European business school, does not believe that any particular nationality produces a more international manager. Neither does he believe that it’s a matter of having the ability to cope with a lifestyle that involves working in Madrid one day, London the next and Berlin the day after. (10) Rather, he believes that the secret of being a good international manger is being fortable with managing diversity. 　　Ford of Europe, which has encouraged the development of international managers for more than 20 years, says that its managers are globally-minded before they bee global opera。
