Manager Beck | 经理贝克

English Original

Beck is the group manager of the Pets and Aquatics departments at the Evergreen Garden Centre. He works alongside his team daily, not just managing but actively participating in all tasks. He is observant, noticing details and incomplete work. His short legs move so swiftly that he appears to be trotting on tiptoe.

Through his diligence, effective management, and team collaboration, the fish house and pet zone are impeccably maintained. Every shelf is in perfect order, as if on parade. Some customers have remarked that Evergreen's fish house is the best in England.

I have learned much from Beck about management. He motivates both his team and the customers. Once, he told me, "In business, we should identify customers' strengths and learn from them. As a Chinese saying goes, 'Customers are hidden dragons and crouching tigers.'"

Beck has an open mind, readily embracing new knowledge, which makes him an exemplary international manager. He once said that in the modern world, "Humanity is one big family, and the globe is a small village."

Everything about Beck is remarkable, including his completely bald, egg-shaped head. Another Chinese saying, "A clever head bears no hair," came to mind, and I knew from his appearance that he was a wise and capable manager.

After Evergreen took over the garden centre from Well, numerous renovations—like new paint, ceilings, carpets, and lighting—greatly improved its appearance. Under the new lights, Beck's bare head shines even brighter. As he bends and rises while working, it resembles a torch, even a searchlight.

"The Garden Centre has changed, and so has Beck's head. Both are brighter than before," someone joked.


中文翻译

贝克是常青花园中心宠物部和水族部的集团经理。他每日与团队一同工作,不仅负责管理,还亲力亲为参与各项任务。他观察入微,能注意到细节和未完成的工作。他腿短,但步伐极快,看起来像是在踮着脚小跑。

凭借他的勤奋、有效的管理和团队协作,鱼屋和宠物区被打理得井井有条。每个货架都整齐划一,宛如接受检阅的队列。有顾客称赞常青花园中心的鱼屋是英格兰最好的。

我从贝克身上学到了很多管理经验。他既激励团队成员,也鼓励顾客。他曾告诉我:“做生意,我们应该发现顾客的优点并向他们学习。正如中国谚语所说:‘顾客是卧虎藏龙。’”

贝克思想开明,乐于接受新知识,这使他成为一名杰出的国际模范经理。他曾说,在现代条件下,“人类是一个大家庭,地球是一个小村庄”。

贝克的一切都很出色,包括他那颗光秃秃的、蛋形的头。这让我想起另一句中国俗语:“聪明的脑袋不长毛。” 我从他的外表就知道他是一位睿智、能干的管理者。

常青公司从威尔公司手中接管花园中心后,进行了许多翻新,如粉刷、天花板、地毯、灯光等,让中心面貌焕然一新。在新灯光下,贝克的光头显得更加明亮。他工作时低头抬首间,脑袋就像手电筒,甚至像探照灯一样。

有人开玩笑说:“花园中心变了,贝克的脑袋也变了。两者都比以前更亮了。”
