Carol, shes my line manager, seemed to know me better than I knew myself, and she really helped me to ide
36、ntify strengths and weaknesses that I didnt know I had. Id thought we were just going to talk about practical things, like what my prospects are for promotion, rather than my psychology! W: Do you want a promotion? I thought youd chosen to go down a grade when you took this job. M: Thats right. I us
37、ed to manage a sales team. It meant working long hours, and it could be pretty difficult at times, though on the whole I enjoyed the challenge. But it kept me at a distance from customers and I wanted to go back to that. So here I am, a sales rep again. Id be interested in promotion if it didnt stop
38、 me doing the funny parts of the job. W: How have people reacted to your taking a step down?

45、manager. What do you think of her skills? M: Shell always make time to listen to anyone in the team who wants to talk to her, and thats a plus.
