The Apprentice boxset is a game well-known American business reality show
The Apprentice boxset is a game well-known American business reality show, has recently started under the point of view, this television show from the United States felt a real business culture, there are many interesting places each episode; also fully appreciate that you want to store a foothold in the United States , originally aggresive to the point where Khan. . .
First episode of the first quarter of selling lemonade
First of all different backgrounds, the future of business elite gathered in New York, the rule is to participate in a simulation of another round of business scenarios, each of PK out one person, until finally produce winners.
The first round of very interesting, as the boss Danald said that any great business people are starting from the basic work of dry, so he chose to sell soft drinks from the start. This time last year I induction in the company of selling the game are similar to throat sugar essence.
All members by gender into male Versacorp (V) and women Meet Protege (MP) groups, such as the process of grouping cleverly reflected in the program of work and leadership styles between men and women differences.
In fact, the set of the teamwork demonstrated by V team is the most prominent, and soon adopt a common strategy, there is no objection to the division of labor, we decentralized implementation. However, this did not object to the unanimous opinion seems to have followed the wrong strategy for the failure to make timely amendments foreshadowed. On the contrary, MP team in the implementation process to a considerable length of time spent on debate strategy, or even personal attacks, the team slack, although the women's team finally won this round, but if it is not cohesive enough, I think they will sell more.
I remember when our group of sugar sold throat when it was elected to a there is a demand, but not any other groups were found in the market - long-distance station, so even if the lack of a strong hard sell, sales and profits are still ranked No. 1 echelon, we can see the importance of location. We all know this truth, but the V team is still not the right place for a fairly popular place to sell, which is the key to their defeat.
A very interesting point, MP team sell the course and did not use too much business on the analysis, but they make full use of the natural advantages - beauty, beauty is always more likely to cause customers, especially male clients a good impression, result in many people use a lot of money to buy the normal price. When we train, while others use this tactic, with the sort of social practice students tricks to win support, though not routine practice, but business has always been results-oriented, as long as you are willing to fight, someone is willing to endure such a tactic is a success.
V team to become the ultimate losers, PK in V out of a team player, first select the three individuals, three individuals further debate and PK. This is a very interesting game, at this time can not have the slightest humility, each person is to shift the responsibility to another person, the team failed to prove the fault is not I, but also the need for unity in a two rivals together PK to another opponent.
Sam said the truth was indeed an unpopular figure, too hard-edged too aggresive, other two are willing to put him kicked away, but were eventually phased out was not his, but a background, MD, MBA, and David, this Sam began to laugh at David with the program to be a businessman to why such a high academic background echoes.
Accurate reflection of the choice out of the business employing the standard of great help for us for jobs. I think that, as a leader of the Troy failure is the wrong strategy, but his courage to take responsibility, and has received the support of teammates to prove that there is potential to be discovered; Sam though very gregarious, but the real leaer are usually distinct , and most importantly, he was not gregarious is not the true reason for the failure of the team; David though educated, logical reasoning ability, but his skill at selling on the performance of immaturity, as well as not positive enough and self-confidence, or even admit that they are not good led directly to the Leader that he be eliminated.
From this set the most important thing learned is not to have a good mind and analytical ability will be able to become successful business leaders, and all should be put into practice, while the sales is a business leader's most important capability, which is why many the company's executives have came from sales of reasons.
Episode II is a collective creative advertising. MP team winning again, the key is boldly selected the taboo subject of sexy advertising is the key to creating new ideas, the more deviant ideas, the more gives a freshness, and has left a deep impression, such advertising on the a scenario is not well-known in the design do not need to consolidate the rapid expansion of well-known brand is the most effective.
V team failed to recall the process:
1. The most fatal step, as an advertiser's leader Jason actually did not lead the team in charge of meeting with clients, while the MP team did. The ads do not understand the customer needs, but self-wai-oriented, it was doomed to failure, even if the advertising creative flawed, but by communicating with customers, at least allow customers to understand their own thoughts will naturally have from the very beginning a good impression.
2. Jason while doing a clear division of labor, but he is not a person who can dominate the brain storm. Everyone in the advertising industry are strong-minded creative people, how to give time line, decisive decision-making, select one of the ideas to be implemented, than the endless discussions aimed at finding a perfect idea is more important. Therefore, V teams waste time on the discussions. Although the final has also been work, but made a lackluster advertising taboo.
3. There Sam the black sheep, a severe blow to morale, but a negative attitude to understand the reason why Sam is Jason really headed in the wrong direction, we can understand his reasons for the failure is not the team. The key is that Jason and the failure to make timely motivate Sam let him return to the team and made positive comments, but ready to see him a fool, this is not big picture view the decision he was not a great leader
4. The failure of the team is almost all Jason's fault, so the defense is also without self-confidence, actually faint to Nick pulled into the water to support his point with the PK, which is more into a morally inferior, was fired off inevitable.
Episode III is a new role, from the sales into a buyer, looking to take the same value of money, who buys something big.
This seems to be a link to President designs, how can haggling men and women, how can technology counterparts? Sure enough, MP team, while not as clear as the V team buying strategy, find out the reserve price, then weigh the cost of these professional negotiation negotiation skills, they simply select the owner for the men's mouths, and even beauty, once again in the male grabbed a huge price difference. You can see, even in the extreme commercialization of the United States, professional public relations skills are often lost the ability to become an outstanding business leaders often had to aside your traditional moves, or even "no sense of shame," but do you disdain a very effective without professional "engage in relations" trick.
Sam in front of two sets incurred everyone's wrath, the team's primary goal is not victory, but he should first rid, so that the team has been distracted by internal politics, how to focus on implementation of the task? Sam brought to the role of leader, if he succeeds, of course happy, if they fail, most likely to be eliminated naturally is his. Sam's idea proved to be very clear and professional, but as I said before the one hand, the professional does not necessarily effective, on the other hand his teammates for his resistance to the implementation of them are also not active, such an atmosphere will inevitably lead to the team fails.
Sam in the first two entering the final round of PK's case, by virtue of his speech is very infectious escaped the fate of being eliminated, but this is no longer lucky, because he was leader, a leader with a minimum of respect for teammates can not get it, how could be a good leader do? Sam is undoubtedly the excellent self-confidence, but he too did not gregarious, they are not adept at internal communication, to re-establish mutual trust between members, the ability to translate into his credibility and therefore doomed to fail.
See this collection that Nick is a rather sinister fellow, he is not no reason responsibilities teammates, but accurately determine who is most likely to be fired, and then not hesitate to praise his words, so that either have been eliminated to avoid the fate of Also establish a broad-minded in the face of Danald impression, showing his extraordinary political skills.
Episode IV is running a bar.
MP team winning again, which of course can not rule out a third of their customers and the temptation to use beauty to attract more customers buying liquor in the role of the store, but more crucial is for them to find the hotel's biggest source of profits - wine, and they are in customer came to the hotel put the focus on the store's customers are no longer struggling to attract more customers. 10 birds in the forest not as good as the hands of a bird, so that an old customer to buy something more than the development of a new customer is much easier, these commonplace sales maxim is that in the most simple actions reflected.
On the contrary, V team and in the evening most people are still outdoors to attract customers, but only left a teammate in the restaurant greeting customers, so customers easily drain of resources. The middle of them to change their strategy, the profit-making points set at the sale of T-shirts, in fact nothing wrong, black or white, it can make money is a good cat, so he is captain Kwame option gives the NBA star's hypothetical, and thereby mislead people to buy his signature The T shirt is also would be a helpless alternative decision-making, and sometimes the team did not develop according to the desired direction, can understand the times to make changes in time that he still has potential.
Nick once again, he insisted on the moral image of the defrauded Danald trust, although, like him because they do not support this decision-making performance does not, but one hand, he stressed that the moral grounds rather than strategic reasons why he did not support the decision-making other hand, he did not aggressively attack the opponent, so he and Sam did not suffer the same fate.
On the contrary, Bowie is rife, and people without their own minds and direction did not take any active, positive role to play in the team, although because there was no over without success is not to offend everyone, without being targeted, but this coin nothing to show for the mediocre will follow suit is a business leader of the most taboo, so the choice out of Bowie is very accurate.
Di Wuji
Di Wuji task is buy low and sell high 1000 U.S. dollars, at flea markets to make money, which is prior to the combination of procurement and sales activities, but also the test of comprehensive ability. Think of it also and my high school time in the flower market selling small gift is quite similar.
In fact, the two teams in the process do not vary greatly, there is no particularly prominent, or the ranks of big mistakes, but Bill let me start from the program to see the first real leadership qualities of the leader, with grace, good at encouraging teammates, and others with hardships were happy, and everyone liked him; while Kristi has seemed a bit weak, weak-minded, even after losing the point of self-blame to cry, but this is not necessarily the failure of MP team. One reason for the failure is that they actually put more money lost in part. This fact, we have encountered in the flower market, of course not what the complaints were in charge of money, but will no doubt want to bear the loss of our great responsibility, how money is not enough if you are concerned about the results of the work is not right treasure, how can you have drive and ambition to achieve ambitious career goals? This is an attitude problem.
The real fun after the results were announced, MP team for the first time lost, Omarosa beginning to show her political skills learned in the White House, unity, Kristi has the same right to complain about Heidi, which means, Kristi did not like them both if you want to join to the final round of PK, certainly will require a joint deal with Kristi. In this benefit analysis, I think Kriti it would be better to select only one among them, and then pull into Jessie and her best, although this may be suspected of betraying the Jessi, but as long as the two sides can take the hint, Kristi did not would be eliminated.
The key is that Kristi did not defend himself, but no clear analysis of their own responsibility for where we get such an outcome actually have a responsibility, shifting the blame onto someone else's people themselves will be a guilty conscience, but Kristi did not Danald surprise because the defense of the she was fired, for the other two were rather ironic, they are also for their own survival based on Kristi the "good" self-sacrifice on the rather embarrassing and unexpected.
It made me reflect on the company or the traditional concepts learned, whether right or wrong you are superior, and customer condemn it or not, you do not have any excuses. However, if the question of principle involved, or related to the organization if you can survive, if we are still weak to not defend, is not it will become taken for a ride, was to shirk all the responsibility? The key is to clear-headed and clear understanding of their responsibilities where the responsibility of someone else where the recognition of its responsibility under the premise of trumped-up charges to prevent others to safety on their own heads. As if it is the responsibility of superiors how to do? Many scales need to grasp from a long-term learning.
task is to find some celebrities each team to enable them to participate in charitable fund-raising activities, then the opportunity to get in contact with their activities for auction over the amount of money.
Sponsorship key is set for what the other side, often a person is invited to charity events not without request, and in bringing to his charity's reputation, or any other additional requirements will be of interest, which people who design activities require sponsorship to maximize the benefits to the other side, of course, these benefits are to spend the least money, because the wool comes from wool body, you have to meet each other's interests as part of the money is also a fund-raising, the cost is too high people challenge your fund-raising purpose.
two more flat, V team leader even more dismal at all, but with some luck, or by a narrow margin of victory. MP team leader Omarosa shows that she was extremely agressive side, and even slower because of Jessie's speech and in her speech, often interrupted with the customer, in the PK Shiyou irony of protecting themselves allies Heidy. But the other two are because there is hope in the face of Danald leave the "good" impression of the duplicity that like her.
Ironically, the result has emerged, Jessie because she's "good old" character fired. In fact, at work, we will, and many others who do not like, of course, we should control their emotions with career people who have completed do not like the responsibility, but it does not mean to force yourself to like it or not people who frankly admitted that Instead, make your own likes and dislikes working relationship easier.
Sevens
Sevens task is from the real estate agents in the hands of two groups of two rooms each pick one to the highest possible price of rent, get spread over the largest group is the winner.
In fact, the biggest test of the real estate knowledge and experience is that in the election room this step, sometimes picked the right room than you have another high-selling skills is more important. Kartrina is the expert in this field than the election room certainly Mo Fabi Troy high school diploma, so he's played a little less ethical means that the advantage gained Kartrina room, which is a key step in PC victory. As Trump has said, shopping is very cruel, deceived inevitable, so V team after this lesson to be learned, but Trump did not like the last warning the women's strengths as a warning not to rely on gender-Troy, which is questionable, and so is tantamount to indirectly encourage the players use unethical means to win.
This set of two major no team player, Tammy and Omarosa. "The Monkey King is a good employee," the workplace is divided into 4 kinds of human, like the Monkey King action who are the same as perfectionists Tang Seng Chu Pa-chieh the same lively socialite, and the Shahe Shang spectator as peacemaker.
Tammy are "Shahe Shang" type, too much himself out of its way to think and too rational, the lack of passion, often act as a time bomb so that deflated the team, other people's ambition and self-defeating, or even do not think his team will win, such conduct will should be cast aside by the team.
Omarosa is tentatively classified as "Tang Seng", too opinionated, but in the eyes can not tolerate sand, even to the point got a little older, a little hit called, has been a headache, as a woman squeamish to the point of people dislike, but I think there are underlying causes of It is she who overestimate themselves, self-assuredness, "the White House elite" rather than with the passionate "working people" associating, for self-view that can not demonstrate their talent for hard labor, selling live for various reasons to shirk, such critical The attitude is not strange if a nuisance.
This sets the essence of the Trump said "God is in the details", even the best idea, there is no sound and practicable action plan, without meticulous preparation to the customer or the boss sell, just as do not give the house to look for decorating the tenants, do not may be leased at good prices, always a loser. The two groups for the room to see the added value of well-made and they have no small gains, once again proved, Preparation may quicken the work, an ambitious target, his talents as a little person, only coupled with attention to detail habits can become a real doer.
Section 8 sets
Article 8 sets the task of selling water, but with a different episode, this is not sold to consumer, but to sell to customer, so agents and sold to the next level of the water distributor.
This is set and closest to my work with for the FMCG, the same face of Key Accounts. In the Field Sales, when I have been to open up the market because the Wrigley's brand effect, because the impulse to buy Wrigley product characteristics, determine the current maturity of the channel in addition to the sale, you can also find other types of retailers, so I have been involved in pioneering pharmacies, bakeries had to open up, open up too fresh stores, but no matter for what type of store, the most basic work to collect information on potential customers to find each other's benefit point, respect for the customer; while respecting their own of their products have self-confidence, rather than hard sell or even "beg sell", as Trump said, beggers cant be choosers. The latter two have done it, while the former is the failure of V team.
The PC team is not all that have performed well, the biggest contributor is the Troy, he is a natural seller, and negotiator, good in each other's hesitation, when finalized, inducing the other party to make impulsive decision-making, it is obviously to build products that are marketable in their own on the basis, or such a partnership will not last long; while Omarosa apparently did not come into contact with Wrigley's sell one more stick of business ideas, and she thinks that he can open up many customers, there is no effort to make every customer into the as much as possible of the goods, so customers are numerous, but few sales; Fortunately, two other players, pulling the 80/20 principle where the big KA - two wholesalers, or responsibility for the failure of certain non-PC is none other than her.
This set is the best PK, ever the most intense debate. Before Ereka actually quite wisely, huh political, and she hoped to bring together Bill, the Joint kicked away Nick. But she was too emotional, emotion in her only because of the subjective and do not like Nick to attack him, and emotion in her sales results as evidence only in attacks on Nick's lack of emotion she did not realize, Nick, and Kartrina is a group, if poor sales, they both have the responsibility, but because she was a friend of Kartrina she did not choose her PK. But these are not important and the most emotional is her choice with Bill Alliance. Bill is more treacherous, when he understood that he was sure to be Ereka pulled into the final round, when he first meet in the first round a little, attack Nick, so are most opposed to Ereka motivation, rather than Ereka friend Nick went into Kartrina the final round, so that he can show from the sidelines of the Plaza pending labor; and then switching sides in the second round with Nick accused Ereka. Bill is not trusted me, but not enough blame Ereka reason. Always remember to trust in terms of feelings of a friend in the same front, but do not trust or interests logically consistent, because for such people, there is no eternal friends nor eternal enemies, only permanent interests of the .
12th set
12th assembly mission is to create a selling point casino using event marketing to attract visitors to a nearby casino Trump Hotels to live.
Game development to the present, left the two strongest Team and six of the best players, coupled with their lessons prior to the game experience and understanding of the performance of the two teams have no obvious loopholes can find, only Which team will rely on the best, as well as the performance of each decision before the fate of each. A result of this round, V team won more customers, but the PC team has earned more money, because they are attracted to the high-end tourists.
Results of the competition have a certain chance, because it is difficult to grasp the consumption level to attract customers, PC team's victory may benefit more from the location of their activities closer to the high-end tourists; but for results-oriented shopping malls, the profits for themselves. On the other hand, PC team's course of activities to give visitors the experience of more value to more easily mobilize the enthusiasm; while V team to focus only on lottery prizes and results, in the process of rendering is too weak, and is also attractive because it is not enough
PK process Kartrina is obvious weak that she was very round, the team's failure to Amy and Nick are attributed to a number of ambiguous relationships, but still do not reflect on the team operational and organizational errors, the result for granted, Trump because she was in action before Team, the lack of enthusiasm and confidence in the team, not in time to express their views, leaving college in the wrong direction of development is not responsible for the performance of people who have no team out her fire, but comparing the two previous results, this is Amy's failure for the first time, of course, she deserves to stay. Workplace need long-term accumulation of credit, and when a second major event on both the performance of similar, of course, those who usually get better credit better results.
This set of two bright spots in fact there is no there is no great fault, but rely on a bit of luck Amy and Nick at the last minute to win the big orders. PK after the Troy chosen friend Kwame.
In the whole drama intrigues intrigues of the environment, can produce Troy and Kwame close friendship between the sincere it is not easy, this friendship based on both character and background complement each other, as well as the advantages of mutual respect for each other, sympathetic, understanding co-operation the basis, so that they have been together for a team reached the final, which proved in the workplace, and shopping malls do not have to compete with each other in another calculation, and sometimes co-efficient is a win-win for both partners.
In comparison, Kwame is I think the last of the five individuals of the most common, although he is most proud of background, the Harvard degrees and work experience at Goldman Sachs, but from beginning to end does not appear that the leader's charisma, not aggressive, a bit too low-key, in the process of organizing and leading a little lack of courage and strong, too book-oriented is not enough practice, but in the end Trump has been appreciated, PK out of Troy. Although I do not appreciate him, but his style and I just like to study his victory to me is more valuable than to look at anyone.
I have a similar disadvantage with him, but equally strong on analysis, low-key implementation, slow heat, a good listener and learn from other people's views, can win the confidence of others, there is affinity (Kwame in the failure of several teams have not been brought to PK War large part due to get along with other teammates, so that team-mate does not see itself as a threat), good in accordance with the advantages of each distribution of the most appropriate work, and as a backup to support them in good position to play the biggest role. Kwame is a structured and sound management, rather than charismatic leader, I think this is the biggest reason to leave his Trump, for a mature enterprises, prudent risk-taking, using scientific decision-making to achieve development is the most important.
Also coincides with Kwame is that we also appreciate Troy, being reckless, candid, good, "rivers and lakes sale" experts in accident, interesting, appealing, he is no doubt all of the best seller, he's selling outstanding skills and negotiation skills, be good at grasping the marketing opportunity to convince customers to buy, these are but I am not very admirable. However, if Trump said the same, with his group of similar sales on the outstanding individual, adept at dealing with the relationship between people, and even good at, "thick black", but rarely lead a team to achieve great results with his own the same height, but also very difficult to achieve a qualitative leap in command of the entire company, it is because they are too often with the nature of the decision-making, there is no solid foundation, relying on instincts and rarely through the standard procedure in the making, so that there is too much decision-making risk, it is easy to mature businesses disaster. In addition, too much focus on core work and ignore the Finance, HR, and even the nature of IT, and so support the same function as their peak obstacles.
The final two sets, the first round of the Trump sent out a group of senior managers candidates for gang fights, the pressure removed under the two interviews.
This is the most common screening method, let me realize once again the true face of original interview. In fact, the interview already no scientific standards, are often the interviewer personal feelings and preferences, of course, also depends on the interviewer I read the qualifications of the person. The performance of various tasks has been eye-catching is not the reason why Nick and Amy get the attention of the interviewer, be attributed due to the lack of Kwame and Bill's interview performance: steady and reliable; write with substance, sentence meaning there is a clear point and refining and effective; self-confident, able to speak decisively; full of vitality, vision, long-term planning; indeed, there is meaning. These are communication skills, interviewing the key word.
Remaining, Bill and Kwame finally have time to do Manager in real life, the chance of project completion, Trump made an ingenious re-arrangements for the final rounds of the candidates came back to be eliminated in the selection of the two men to become their assistants worked together to accomplish project. At this time the accumulation of the two long-term performance of RP and the contacts out, because Kwame has always been the good old little step on someone else to play the role of shoulder, compared with a handful of people have had unpleasant experiences is more easy access to team-mate Bill support.
Kwame has proved unexpectedly broke out in the final round, his performance in this round to never have before. Compared to Bill, he was more calm when anything crops up, but also know how to "inaction", a rational allocation of work, so that subordinates have sufficient autonomy, sharing of work for him. The Bill While the ability to complete the project is also a first-rate, but it relies too much on their own strength, will not be leveraging on others, so that managers can easily "karoshi."
However, the final Bill finally won, it is also among the clean-up. Because Kwame committed two fatal errors:
First, too soft-hearted, had knowledge of the details of the operation if the errors do not give too much under the intervention and condemnation, so that subordinates consciously bear the consequences of this will not fault, but he connived at Omerosa a matter of principle of deception and self-righteousness, do not listen to the leadership of behavior, which ultimately led to a big mistake
Second, the project has been operating smoothly, the key to the boss when Trump visited blunder. The boss when you do not have to show, no matter how, the boss to see when you do not have to meet the usual criteria, the boss did not think you have been less than satisfactory performance, the usual efforts to put the East Water. Usually perform well, the boss at the time to perform better, this is the basis for success.
Bill finally got Aprrentice qualifications to become a construction project, general manager of Trump, sitting next to Trump, accept the blessing and admiration of all participants in the winner loser Kou Wang shopping centers and workplace, which is the highest reward and glory. To get an exciting moment, we must endure such a brutal competition.
