BEP 138 – Idiomas de vela: Desempenho da Empresa (1)
Neste episódio do pod de inglês para negócios, we’re going to look at how expressões idiomáticas de negócios related to ships and sailing can be used to describe company performance.
The image of a ship is a powerful one in business. The ship is like a company – a huge entity that must be steered toward success, maintained properly, and carefully guided away from dangers like storms and rocks. Employees are often seen as a crew of sailors, a group that must work together as a team. So sailing idioms frequently appear when we discuss business in English.
