【单选题】Thanks to closed doors and fierce gatekeepers, bosses are tricky to observe in their natural habitat. Yet it might be useful to know what they do all day, and whether any of it benefits shareholders.
A、new HarvardBusiness School working paper sheds some light.
Researchers asked the chief executives of 94 Italian firms to have their assistants record their activities for a week. You may take this with a gain of salt.

Brian Sullivan, the chief executive ofCTPartners, a headhunting firm, says the most difficult part of his job is saying no to people who want a piece of his time. Mr. Sullivan says the only time he gets for blue-sky thinking is when he is in the sky.
Bill Gates took regular "think weeks", when he would sit alone in a cabin for 18 hours a day reading and contemplating. This, it is said, led to such strategic masterstrokes as "the Internet tidal wave memo" in 1995, which shifted Microsoft’s focus to the we

网考网试题解析:
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 由第5段最后一句“Mr. Chandy thinks bosses should spend less time with clients and more time thinking about the future”可知,老板应该少花时间应酬客户,多花时间思考公司的未来,由此可推知,D项陈述错误,为正确答案。由本段第1句“Bosses often complain that they get bogged down in day-to-day operations”可知,老板们经常抱怨他们深陷日常事务的运作中,所以A正确,排除。第2句和第3句提到一些法规规定老板要为其下属的违法行为负责,因此蹲监狱的可能性牢牢地牵绊了老板们的注意力,所以B正确,排除;第4句提到许多老板还认为他们应该满世界奔波把产品推销给客户,C选项也正确,排除。
