下面你将听到一篇短文，短文读两遍。请你听完短文的第二遍朗读后，根据短文内容和提示，在信息表中相应的横线上填入所缺信息。

W: Nowadays, we often work as a team. But leading a group of people can be difficult. Would you like to be a good leader? Here are some suggestions for you.

First, talk to your team. Tell them what you’re thinking about. If you talk to them more, they will feel more comfortable when giving you their opinions. Second, listen to your team. Whenever they have problems, listen to what they want to say. Be a patient listener and avoid trying to stop them. Third, care about your team. People will work harder if they feel they are really cared about. If someone comes to you with a problem, always be ready to help. That will make your team trust and support you more.
