■ビジネス英語 interview 3-5
Shibata:
So, what factors are important to you when joining a new company or project?
Cline:
I think the answer for me is quite easy. The single most important for me is absolutely people that I work with.
I believe in the strength of a team, and I believe great teams are made up of people that treat the team first. And a great team isn't necessary made up of the smart people or the hardest-working people or maybe even the most clever people.
It's a team of people trust each other, and they are willing to work hard for the team.
And this means ...if you get this group together you can accomplish great things. We see it ins sports all the time: that some team may have the absolute super star, but there is another team that has maybe not many superstars, but they are able to win a championship because they work as the best tea. And I really like that.
accomplish 成し遂げる
work as ～として機能する
So this means peers that I work with: the people that maybe on my team or, of course, the CEO of the company.
And I believe you have to work for a leader that others can believe in, and you also have to be a leader that others can believe in. And these things are tricky。But of course , the technology is important, and I try to stick to this areas where I have some interests. And even if that I don't have specific experience with technologies, I like to make this something that I'm passionate to wake up and work on.
peer 同僚 仲間
these things are tricky, 一筋縄でいかないですが、
stick to ～にこだわる ～から外れない
And you know, one of the benefits of working with companies around the world and customers around the world is that quite often, I'll hear about new technology areas before I might see them otherwise.
build ～into... ～を…に取り入れる 組み込む
otherwise 他の方法で そうでなければ さもないと
So if I meet some customer in Akihabara, he might tell me about some interesting technology that I had never heard of before as they're building it into theirs. And for instance, one of... the previous startup company that I was at maybe four years ago...I have heard about these RISC-V computer processors, and I actually heard about this company called Codasip that I didn't know anything about.
And from there , I was able to some research on he internet and talk to some of the people in my network and the ultimately understand how customers might benefit from this technology. And so that made it pretty exciting for me.
