In this Business English Pod lesson, we’ll see how important it is to strategize and plan when you’re handling a crisis 1.
在这节商务英语播客中，我们来看下当你处理危机时策划和计划时多么的重要。
Any crisis is a test of business strength. To be more specific, it’s a test of people in business. There’s nothing like a crisis to show us who can handle the pressure and who will crack. Can your business come through a crisis well? Do you have people with the right leadership skills and decision-making abilities to handle the crisis successfully? Let’s see how our team handles things.
什么样的危机都是对商业实力的测试。具体来说，是对处理商业的人的测试。再没有像危机那样能够显示谁能处理好压力，谁会崩溃。你的商业能度过危机吗？你有拥有领导技巧并能成功处理危机的决策能力的人吗？我们来看下如何处理危机。
Our last episode 2 was about taking control in a crisis. We heard Sandy and Mike report a factory accident to their boss Frank. Frank handled that early part of the crisis well. He calmed his employees down, gave them clear orders, and reassured 3 them.
