(4) The first archons in Athens were chosen for life and only from among the descendants of Codrus; then only for ten years; then only for one year - and already from any noble families. (5) The first archons ruled unanimously; then, to help such an archon, three more began to get out, dividing among themselves the three main royal concerns - the archon-priest, the archon-voivode and the archon-judge; then one archon-judge was not enough, and they began to choose as many as six. 6 Thus was formed the college of nine archons who ruled Athens during the year; and after serving their term, they became members of the council of elders, which sat on the hill of the god Ares - the Areopagus. (7) So in Athens the power of the king was replaced by the power of the nobility - the monarchy was replaced by the aristocracy.

Read the text and complete tasks 21-26.

(1) Nikolai Nikolaevich has not been in the town for more than thirty years. (2) He only recently buried his wife, and after that he himself fell seriously ill.

(Z) Nikolai Nikolayevich was not afraid of death and treated it naturally and simply, but he wanted to get to his home without fail. (4) He dreamed of being surrounded by old walls, where, on long sleepless nights, strings of long-forgotten and ever-memorable faces would flash before him.

(5) For a whole year before his arrival, the house stood boarded up. (6) It was raining, there was snow on the roof, and no one cleaned it off, so the roof, which had not been painted for a long time, was leaky and rusted in many places. (7) And the steps of the main porch are completely rotten.

(8) When Nikolai Nikolaevich saw his street and his house, his heart pounded so hard that he was afraid that he would not reach. (9) He stood for several minutes, caught his breath, crossed the street with a firm military step, decisively tore the cross from the gate, entered the courtyard, found an ax in the shed and began to tear off the boards from the boarded up windows.

(10) Furiously working with an ax, forgetting for the first time about a sick heart, he thought: the main thing is to chop off the boards, open the doors, open the windows so that the house begins to live its permanent life.

(11) From memory, the house always seemed to him large, spacious, smelling of warm air from stoves, hot bread, fresh milk and freshly washed floors. (12) And even when Nikolai Nikolaevich was a little boy, he always thought that not only “living people” live in their house, not only grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, brothers and sisters, countless uncles and aunts coming and leaving , as well as those that were in the paintings hanging on the walls in all five rooms.

(13) And this feeling that the "people from the pictures" actually live in their house never left him, even when he became an adult, although this may be strange.

(14) It is difficult to explain why this happened, but, being in the most difficult alterations, in death agony, on the hard bloody work of the war, he, remembering the house, thought not only about his relatives who inhabited it, but also about “people with pictures" that he never knew.

(15) Nikolai Nikolaevich opened the door with some apprehension.

(16) The house smelled of dampness and mustiness. (17) There were cobwebs on the ceiling and in the corners. (18) Numerous spiders and spiders, not paying attention to him, continued their painstaking skillful work. (19) The field mouse, having found shelter in an abandoned house, like a circus tightrope walker, several times merrily ran along the wire that remained on the window from the curtains.

(20) The furniture was moved from its usual places and covered with old covers. (21) The paintings, carefully wrapped by the sister in burlap, lay on the mezzanine in the driest room.

(22) First of all, Nikolai Nikolaevich flooded the stoves, and when the window glass fogged up, he opened them wide open so that dampness came out of the house. (23) And he himself put everything and put firewood in the stove, enchanted by the flame and the rumble of fire. (24) Then he washed the walls, brought a ladder, got to the ceilings, and, finally, changing the water several times, carefully scraped the floors, floorboard after floorboard.

(25) Gradually, with all his being, Nikolai Nikolaevich felt the warmth of his native stoves and the familiar smell of his home - he joyfully turned his head.

(26) For the first time in recent years, Nikolai Nikolaevich sighed liberated and blissfully. (27) It was then that he removed the covers from the furniture and arranged it. (28) And, finally, he hung out the pictures ... (29) Each in its place.

The generally accepted ways of communicating with subordinates and at the same time forms of organizing the work of a manager are production meetings and meetings.

Meetings and conferences are a way for the collective exchange of business information under the leadership of the boss with the adoption of specific decisions.

According to the goals, the following types of meetings and meetings are distinguished:

Introductory (presentation of new projects, advanced training);

Informational (generalization of information, study of points of view);

Explanatory (convincing employees of something);

Problematic (collective search for a solution to the issue);

Instructive (bringing to the attention of the necessary information and explaining the course of action);

Operational ("RAM") (obtaining current information about the state of affairs and identifying "bottlenecks");

Planning meeting (setting tasks and plans for the next short period of time)

Coordinating (ensuring the interaction of departments);

Final (summarizing the results for a period of time or a production cycle);

Ceremonial (ceremonial summing up of important dates or events for the enterprise, awarding the best employees);

“meeting of the labor collective” (the labor collective is also assembled for all other meetings, but this name emphasizes that some important issues are discussed at the meeting, more for the labor collective than for the management, issues - working conditions, preparation for the holidays, some other informal topics not directly related to production; from the same series - a trade union meeting).

The terms "meeting" and "meeting" are often taken as synonymous. However, strictly speaking, an assembly and a meeting differ both in purpose and in the way it is conducted.

A meeting is a way of collective exchange of business information with the adoption (bringing) of specific decisions. The meeting is usually organized by management to inform the workforce.

A meeting is a way of collective exchange of business information, in which the management invites the necessary specialists and listens to their opinion (organizes a discussion) to make decisions. Usually meetings are held with the participation of the head, heads of departments, leading experts - that is, those whose opinion is significant and can influence the decision.

So, the task of the meeting is to inform the labor collective, the task of the meeting is to develop a joint solution in a narrower circle of specialists involved in the problem. The difference between these formats of business communication is easy to understand by analyzing the etymology (origin) of their names: they gather for a meeting for any purpose, they gather for a meeting to confer. Every meeting is a meeting, but not every meeting is a meeting. A meeting usually involves a narrower format, so we'll look at the basic principles of organizing and holding a meeting below to cover a wider range of aspects.

Meeting preparation begins with setting a goal, defining a topic, agenda and composition of participants. The effectiveness of the meeting is largely determined by the time and place of its holding, as well as the composition of its participants. The minimum number of people should be invited to the meeting - only those without whom it will be ineffective. (Sometimes it makes sense to let go before the meeting is over of those workers whose presence is no longer necessary.)

The basis for the success of the meeting is the right agenda. Usually it is brought to the meeting participants in advance so that they already know what issues will be discussed at the meeting and can prepare. In any case, the agenda must be announced at the very beginning of the meeting.

The agenda is often executed as a separate document. This document is both an announcement of the meeting and an order ordering a meeting on such and such a topic with such and such questions and such and such participants. Therefore, it makes sense to post it on the board of orders.

The meeting agenda must contain:

Title (topic) of the meeting;

Information about the place, time and duration of the meeting;

Information about the participants of the meeting (whom to appear);

List of issues for discussion (if necessary - with the names of speakers);

Rules - allocation of time on agenda items.

If the status of the meeting is insignificant, it is enough to indicate in the agenda the topic, time-place, list of issues, and the list of categories of employees (or personal list) that should participate in the meeting.

Some meetings do not require a detailed agenda. For example, to hold a small meeting, it is sometimes enough to verbally announce the place, time, participants and topic. The list of issues to be discussed will be developed at the meeting itself.

Beginning of the meeting. The meeting is always led by one person - the chairman, most often the leader himself. In the very first, initial phase of the meeting, the chairman, first of all, brings to the attention of the main procedural issues: the topic and purpose of the meeting, the content of the agenda, the regulations.

Leading the meeting for the manager, it is always divided into two parallel lines: maintaining the procedure and maintaining the content.

Management of the meeting procedure

Meeting content management

opening of the meeting

keynote speech

meeting the agenda

comments on other posts

compliance with the regulations

adherence to the theme of the meeting

order of speaking

leading the discussion

keeping order in the room

decision making

control over record keeping, fixing decisions

ensuring adequate understanding in the hall

closing meeting

announcement of conclusions and decisions

The conduct of the meeting, in terms of procedure, basically comes down to giving the floor to the speakers in accordance with the agenda of the meeting. In terms of content, the manager also inserts his comments, makes presentations, organizes an exchange of opinions, sums up the meeting, announces its results and formulates decisions.

It is important not to go to extremes. If you obey too much procedure, then you can miss the lines of interest for discussion, which require deviation from the regulations, but may be useful for business. If you obey the content too much, then you can peddle on all fascinating topics, forgetting about the rules and the need to develop formal solutions. Therefore, the management of the procedure must be harmoniously balanced with the management of the content. And both processes must obey common sense.

To form a businesslike mood at a meeting, a meeting, one should immediately state that during the meeting ideas are discussed and criticized, and not the people who expressed them.

Democracy is good as a social mechanism; in the production process, it can be destructive. Therefore, the limitations associated with the right to make a decision should also be clearly defined. There are issues on which the meeting can decide. But most often, the meeting is a way of making decisions, an advisory body. The decision is made by the leader or specific managers.

At the same time, the initiative of employees cannot be suppressed by the authority of managers. A meeting, and especially a meeting, will not make sense if only a top manager speaks at it, and specialists and employees listen reverently. It is necessary to stimulate their initiative, offer them the floor, encourage them, celebrate good ideas and just dedication.

There are two main ways to organize an exchange of views at a meeting or meeting.

1. Start from downstream. Most often, it is more convenient to first give the floor to specialists and employees lower in the hierarchy. After all, if the boss speaks first, then some employees may be afraid to express a point of view that is different from the boss. And then the meaning of their participation in the meeting will disappear. Therefore, we must first let the experts speak, let them inform and express their opinion on how to solve the problem. However, having thanked and encouraged them, it is necessary to keep in mind that they do not make the decision - so that grass-roots employees do not have the false illusion that they are in control of the process.

Grassroots employees often do not see the general goals of the meeting and therefore, heated up, encouraged by attention, they can get carried away with their theses. One must be able to keep them in check so that, having expressed their opinion, they do not turn the meeting into a “recital” or a squabble. At the same time, it is important to encourage their initiative and interest.

2. Exchange of views in a circle. At the stage of discussion, when the time has not yet come to make a decision, this democratic form is very convenient and productive: it formally grants all participants an equal right to speak. In addition, this form is an additional disciplinary and organizing framework - it is easier for people to adhere to the obvious order, each speaker understands why and when his turn comes, and understands that after him there are also speakers and they also need to be given the floor. Naturally, this form of exchange of views is convenient for small meetings (up to 8-10 people), as it assumes that all participants will speak.

If the exchange of views does not work out in any way, you should specifically ask the question to the most active, most temperamental employee. It doesn't matter if he is an expert on the topic. Each team has the most active and chatty employees. Just ask him - he will easily start a discussion and warm up the others. It is important only then to limit his monologue in time and grow a discussion. This technique helps to avoid awkward silence at the beginning of the discussion, when the leader offers to speak out, but no one decides.

The manager acts both as a leader and as a moderator who gives people the opportunity to speak. Watch how you participate in the discussion, make sure that you do not suppress experts whose opinion is important. Specially give the opportunity to speak indecisive and timid, if their opinion can be valuable. It is important that even timid specialists feel their involvement and the significance of their opinion.

It is convenient to take notes on the board, it is useful to write down suggestions made. This will help not to move too far away from the key issues on the agenda, as well as to use the achievements of the meeting in future activities.

During the meeting in the format of the so-called brainstorming any ideas are accepted and discussed. The methodology of brainstorming is simple: any and all ideas on the topic are thrown without any criticism. "Brainstorming" has received wide recognition, mainly because it allows the participants in the discussion to express any, the most improbable at first glance, proposals, criticism of which is prohibited until the "storming" is completed.

In order for the meeting not to go astray from the topic, it is necessary to sum up the intermediate results in a timely manner, using the agenda and ideas written on the board.

The results of the meeting will be more productive if the chair during the discussion takes a neutral position, does not enter into disputes with other participants in the discussion, and does not prefer any proposal until a decision is made. In disputable situations, use the position not of a disputant, but of an arbiter - it is the most authoritative and expedient. Having announced the decision, it is worth thanking those whose opinion is not reflected in this decision, pointing out the significance of their opinion so that they do not lose the desire to express their opinion in the future.

Two tendencies are most often observed in the course of the meeting. In one case, the opinions of the participants merge with the position of a leader, a “strong personality”. As a result, a strong-willed approach to the implementation of tasks begins to prevail over an analytical one. At the same time, there is a danger that the participants in the meeting, without knowing it, will become dependent on authority and lose their independence of judgment. Therefore, it is wise for the presiding officer to restrain the energy of those who are accustomed to having the initiative because of their ability, leaving the less active participants to speak earlier.

In the second case, the chairman tries to achieve the unity of all participants in the meeting, tries with all his might to ensure their involvement in the process. However, striving for unity at any cost is not an end in itself. What is important is not a compromise, but an effective solution, which is not necessarily the fruit of a compromise. And the purpose of the meeting is not the education of civic activity, but the solution of production issues. And the participation of all, the unity of all employees should be required only insofar as it can be useful for solving production problems and building a team spirit.

Various unpleasant situations may arise at the meeting, which must be extinguished by the leader leading the meeting. For example, the appearance of latecomers. The response depends on the leader's style. The range of reactions is wide: from a brief remark to expulsion from the meeting and issuance of a disciplinary remark. But under no circumstances should you drop it. The meeting is a sacred ritual, and the employee should think a hundred times before the next time he intends to be late for no good reason.

Employees don't always behave well in meetings. There are also buzzers or talkers. There are jokers or wits who make caustic remarks about the case and not the case at the address of colleagues. Any unauthorized speech activity at the meeting must be controlled and stopped. If extraneous conversations and whisperings have exceeded a certain limit, it is worth making a remark, at first in a moderate form, asking them to stop whispering. The leader must control the situation and ensure the attention of all participants in the meeting. One way is to give the gallery critics and commentators the floor. In any case, it is necessary to make comments, otherwise permissiveness will turn into noise and disrupt the meeting. Methods of pacification should be applied progressively - from tapping a pen on the table and a stern look to remarks and reprimands.

At the end of the discussion of each item on the agenda, it is necessary to officially draw a line under the discussion. It should be asked who else has questions on the topic discussed. Participants of the meeting must clearly understand the moment of transition from one agenda item to another. This maintains the rhythm and order of the meeting.

Meetings and meetings are group forms of business communication. And, as in any group, conflicts can arise during the meeting.

Conflict is understood as a clash of different points of view in business and interpersonal relationships.

Conflict can destroy both the assembly and the authority of the leader. In this case, a conflict can occur both between the meeting participants and between the meeting participant and the leader. In any case, managing the conflict, neutralizing it is the task of the leader and no one else. If the boss avoids intervening in the conflict and lets the conflict take its course, he shows his weakness.

Conflicts can be personal or industrial. A production conflict can be productive if the manager promptly turns it into a discussion, extracts sound judgments from conflict positions. It is worse if there is an open conflict that turns into personalities. It must be stopped both by calls for order and ethical behavior, and simply by volitional intervention. In other words, it is necessary to manage the industrial conflict and prevent it from developing into a personal conflict.

There are three main ways to resolve the conflict: suppression, delay, turning the conflict into a business conversation.

suppression is a direct order to stop bickering. This method can be used only if the leader is sure that he has unquestioned authority and is able to extinguish any situation. It is worth remembering that in a conflict people are heated, they can take desperate actions that can become a test of the leader's authority for strength. Sometimes the lion gives way to the boar, wisely postponing the "trial" for another time, when the boar has less courage. But everyone else will be witnesses to a situation in which "the lion gave in." We must soberly assess our authority. On the other hand, the authority of the leader who was able to grind through the hottest situation and extinguish the most ardent troublemaker will become truly indisputable. To extinguish the conflict gently, to divert the topic to the side, or to break the troublemakers "head on", with metal in your voice - it depends on the style and charisma of a particular leader.

Postponement conflict is a good way to avoid a head-on collision and at the same time maintain control of the situation. To do this, you need to tell the initiator of the conflict that his question requires a separate conversation, which will definitely take place later at a special meeting. In the meantime, we must respect the time of the other participants and return to the topic of the meeting. And then it is necessary to switch the attention of those present to another issue on the agenda. Then the problem with the troublemaker can be resolved without witnesses (the very presence of which often inflames the bully), without the risk of a direct public brawl.

Turning Conflict into a Business Conversation comes down to the fact that the leader finds at least some sound ideas in the positions of the conflicting parties, extracts them and focuses on them the attention of the disputants themselves and the entire assembly. For example, quarreling with the heads of adjacent departments can be reduced to finding out exactly what resources they did not have enough to solve their tasks. And then the swearing will turn into constructive.

End of the meeting. The meeting is not champagne to end on its own. It must be closed by the leader or leader. Otherwise, anarchy rules in the organization. It is necessary to briefly sum up the results, recall the decisions on the main issues. If some decisions are made at the meeting, then it is necessary to remind who is responsible for the implementation of these decisions and fix the deadlines.

Be sure to ask if anyone has questions about the topic of the meeting. If the questions are small, then they must be answered quickly in order to satisfy the thirst for attention from employees. If the questions are serious, then there is no need to go into them - people have already tuned in to the end of the meeting and will be inattentive, the meeting will fall apart. If there are serious questions, it is necessary to promise their authors to resolve these issues individually or at the next meeting. And officially draw a line under the discussion.

A rather good solution to end the meeting is to congratulate the birthday man or announce some informal but important events in the life of the company. Employees will appreciate that they share information that is interesting to them. This ending, among other things, creates a positive mood when leaving the meeting. In many cases, this is useful, as it sets people up in a positive way, helps them work in a good mood.

1. Diversity of parts of a complex sentence manifests itself in various forms:

a) a subordinate clause and a member of a simple sentence are used as homogeneous constructions, for example: "At the production meeting, issues of further improving the quality of products were discussed and whether there is an opportunity to reduce the cost"(should: …the issues of further improving the quality of products and the possibility of reducing their cost were discussed); “Practitioners came to the institute who have proven themselves well in the labor process, and the nature of their work corresponds to the chosen specialty”(should: Practitioners came to the institute, the nature of their work corresponds to the chosen specialty. They have proven themselves well in the labor process.). In fiction, such constructions can be used to make an utterance colloquial; compare: What would happen to her in the event of my illness, death, or, simply, if we fell out of love with each other! (Chekhov);

b) with a common subordinating part, a two-part sentence and a one-part impersonal sentence act as homogeneous syntactic elements, for example: “The speaker put forward two propositions: 1) the accelerated privatization of state property is becoming increasingly important; 2) it is necessary to increase the role of labor collectives in this process”;

c) without proper reason, a different word order is used in subordinate subordinate clauses, for example: “The shortcomings of the teaching staff of the school include the fact that educational work is not carried out in it enough, extracurricular work is carried out poorly, student performance is declining”(in the second and third subordinate clauses one should also use reverse word order).

2. Structural displacement can find its own expression in the fact that the main clause is “interrupted” by the subordinate clause inside it, for example: “The main thing that needs to be paid attention to is the genre side of the work” (should: The main thing that needs to be paid attention to is the genre side of the work. ); “The last thing to dwell on is the composition of the book” (should: The last thing to dwell on is the composition of the book. ). The interruption of the construction in these cases lies in the fact that the nominal predicate of the main clause, torn from its subject, is placed in the case that the predicate of the subordinate clause requires. Such sentences are conversational. Wed also: By this time all, who could and wanted to leave from Krasnodon and nearby areas, left or left to the East(Fadeev) (with the subject of the main clause all expected plural predicate - gone or left , but under the influence of the subject clause who and by analogy with the predicates with it could and wanted to leave in the main sentence, the predicates also turned out to be in the singular form - left or left ).

A construction shift can occur if the subordinate clause " is interrupted» main (in the normative sense, the main clause may be in front of the subordinate clause, after it, or include the subordinate clause, but not be included in the latter), for example: “But these quotes are unknown where the author borrowed them from” (instead of: It is not known where the author borrowed these quotes from. ). Such constructions are colloquial in nature. Wed their use in the language of works of art: However, both ladies cannot be said to have in their nature the need to cause trouble(Gogol); But these words make me uncomfortable for you to say (Herzen); She married a non-nobleman and behaved, one cannot say, very benevolently. (Chekhov).

3. Incorrect use of unions and allied words manifests itself in various cases:

a) the choice of a union or allied word that is not suitable for a given context, for example: “It was possible to agree only with those provisions of the report, where there were no internal contradictions."(instead of adverb where with an abstract noun provisions should have used a conjunction in which ); "There was a situation when did little to stabilize(word when with its inherent meaning of time is not suitable for the context; one could say: The situation was created which not conducive to stabilization);

b) pleonastic use of unions (setting a number of unambiguous unions), for example: “Conditions for radical economic reforms were created, however, nevertheless there hasn't been a break yet.";

c) an extra union after the introductory word, which is mistaken for part of the main sentence, for example: “The speaker presented new data that seems to what some have already been partially published.;

d) an extra correlative word (demonstrative pronoun in the main clause), for example: "Indicate then the shortest distance that separates the two points(there can be only one shortest distance),

e) particle repetition would in subordinate clauses in which the predicate is expressed by the verb in the form of a conditional subjunctive mood (combinations are obtained to... would, if... to ), For example: "Wish was expressed to contacts established between Russian and American entrepreneurs have received would its further development"; " If Western proposals were would accepted, the situation could change". Such constructions give the statement a colloquial character. Wed: I need, to every word, every phrase fell would in tune, in place(Korolenko);

f) cluttering up a complex sentence with the same unions or allied words with the sequential subordination of subordinate clauses, for example: “Doctors believe that the disease is so dangerous that one has to fear for the life of the patient” (should: Doctors consider the disease so dangerous that one has to fear for the life of the patient ); “The commission refused to accept a number of facilities, for the construction of which the necessary funds were allocated, which, however, were largely misused”(should: The commission refused to accept a number of objects. The necessary funds allocated for their construction were largely misused).

4. Wrong word order in a complex sentence with an attributive clause generates ambiguity or distorts the meaning of the sentence. For example, in a sentence “Students had an internship in one of the workshops of the plant, which recently refurbished"- allied word which may have a twofold correlation (was one of the workshops or the plant as a whole reconstructed?), although according to the rule of the word which, which, than replace the nearest noun to them in the form of the same gender and number.

Editing in some cases is achieved by replacing the subordinate clause with participial turnover. Compare: 1) in one of the workshops of the plant, recently reconstructed; 2) in one of the workshops of the factory, recently reconstructed .

In other cases, a demonstrative pronoun is introduced into the main clause. that or such , correlative to the allied word which or which , For example: Visitors to the exhibition lingered for a long time at those paintings by young artists, which reflect a direct connection with modernity.
Finally, it is possible to repeat a noun defined by a subordinate clause, for example: many readers of our "thick" magazines in the first place interested theoretical articles by economists and sociologists, articles that highlight current scientific issues.

5. Mixing direct and indirect speech finds its expression in the fact that the subordinate clause forming indirect speech retains elements of direct speech (forms of personal pronouns and verbs), for example: The author rashly remarked to the reviewer that how can you not notice what is new in the book; Not recognizing criticism addressed to him, he always answered that it would be better not to interfere in his affairs. Such sentences are colloquial in nature, and in artistic speech they can be used as a stylistic device. Wed: Now the innkeeper said he won't let you eat until you pay for the old (Gogol); An important gentleman from the capital came and bought a vest from Gross, and now he saw yours and shouts that you must give him exactly the same as yours!(Bunin).
