题目解答
答案

解析
步骤 1:理解经理的管理风格
经理是一个勤奋、诚实、整洁、聪明的人,但他缺乏礼貌。他不考虑员工的感受,总是直接下命令,而不是礼貌地请求。这导致员工们一个接一个地离开,寻找其他工作。
步骤 2:分析员工离开的原因
员工们离开的原因是经理的不礼貌。他们不愿意直接告诉经理,因为这很难开口,而且经理可能不会听。经理没有意识到员工离开的原因,也没有意识到自己有多不礼貌。
步骤 3:理解经理与首席职员Hollis的对话
Hollis在周五晚上完成了经理要求的困难文件,但经理没有表示感谢。当Hollis离开办公室时,他问经理是否说了“谢谢”,经理否认了。这表明经理仍然没有意识到自己的不礼貌。
步骤 4:分析问题1
经理的管理风格导致员工离开,因此他不适合这个职位。选项C(他对待员工粗鲁)是正确的。
