Hello everyone! Justin here and welcome
back to another Bizmates for Beginners
0:00:04.440,0:00:08.639
video lesson where every week we
introduced a new idiom, phrase, or
0:00:08.639,0:00:13.080
expression that you can use in your
daily business conversation. This week
0:00:13.080,0:00:19.500
everyone, we are going to learn: Hands- Off.
Okay, so maybe you can imagine what this
0:00:19.500,0:00:24.560
means, but let's jump into more detail on
this expression for today's lesson.
0:00:24.560,0:00:29.340
Alright, so but first as always, let's
begin with a quick review of last week's
0:00:29.340,0:00:35.100
class. Alright everyone, so imagine I
asked you: Are you ready to start the new
0:00:35.100,0:00:42.000
year? And yes, you are ready to have a
good strong start. So how do you say that
0:00:42.000,0:00:47.460
using the expression from last week?
You've got five seconds. Are you ready? Okay go!
0:00:51.340,0:00:56.780
Alright and time is up. If you
said: Yes! I'm ready to hit the ground
0:00:56.789,0:01:01.320
running! Then that's exactly right. Well
done! Thank you for remembering last
0:01:01.320,0:01:06.299
week's class and hopefully you hit the
ground running this year. Alright, so
0:01:06.299,0:01:10.979
let's begin the next part of our video
today which is the actual expression,
0:01:10.979,0:01:17.670
which is, Hands-Off, this week. Alright, now
this is what I sometimes hear. Okay, so I
0:01:17.670,0:01:23.460
imagine I asked my colleague Taro: Taro
what kind of management style do you
0:01:23.460,0:01:28.590
like? There are many different types of
managers. Many different types of working
0:01:28.590,0:01:35.759
styles and management styles. So which
style do you like? He says: Well, I like no
0:01:35.759,0:01:39.720
touch approach and no touch approach.
Okay, yeah I can imagine
0:01:39.720,0:01:45.210
what that means. But you might hear a
native English speakers say: I like a
0:01:45.210,0:01:52.200
hands-off approach. Okay so meaning you
don't get too involved in the details.
0:01:52.200,0:01:57.509
You're not micromanaging something.
You're not touching everything and
0:01:57.509,0:02:03.479
controlling everything. You have a
hands-off approach. Okay? So another way
0:02:03.479,0:02:09.840
you can use this is if someone asks you:
Do you handle it? Do you handle the let's
0:02:09.840,0:02:14.190
say marketing for your company? You could
say: No I'm hands off
0:02:14.190,0:02:18.750
when it comes to marketing. Meaning I
don't touch marketing. It's not my area,
0:02:18.750,0:02:24.330
I'm a hands-off. Okay, when it comes to
marketing or you don't really control it.
0:02:24.330,0:02:29.420
Okay, so it's a useful expression so
please remember this for next time. Okay
0:02:29.420,0:02:36.420
our pronunciation here, it's as you see
it. So, hands, the S here and the O. Okay?
0:02:36.420,0:02:42.330
They join together so it sounds like one
word. Hands off, hands off. Okay, so please
0:02:42.330,0:02:46.020
repeat after me:
I like a hands-off approach. Your turn!
0:02:48.660,0:02:53.420
Alright, good! Now after my question: So
what kind of management style do you like?
0:02:55.140,0:02:59.420
So yeah I like a hands-off approach.
Okay, yeah makes everyone less nervous if
0:02:59.430,0:03:04.320
everyone knows the main goal and which
direction we're headed in. I like to be
0:03:04.320,0:03:10.620
hands-off or I like a hands-off approach.
Alright, okay so our bonus question this
0:03:10.620,0:03:15.510
week is another way to say: Yes! It is
correct. Alright, if you know a better way
0:03:15.510,0:03:19.140
of saying this please leave it in the
comments below. If you want to know how
0:03:19.140,0:03:23.610
we would say this better, you can check
