Understanding the nuances behind these common leadership phrases is essential for fostering positive relationships and driving success in various business scenarios.

1. "Let's touch base"

2. "Think outside the box"

3. "We're in this together": Building a sense of unity and camaraderie among team members is crucial for achieving common goals. This phrase emphasizes collective responsibility and fosters a supportive work culture. Authenticity is key here; leaders must demonstrate their commitment to teamwork through their actions.

5. "It's a learning opportunity"

6. "Stay laser-focused"

7. "Let's brainstorm"

In conclusion, mastering common leadership phrases is essential for effective business communication.

안녕하세요.

오늘은 새해 계획을 말할 거예요.

여러분은 연초에(at the beginning of the year), 계획을 세워요? (계획을 세우다 make a plan)
저는 사실(actually) 새해 계획을 잘 세우지 않아요.

계획을 세우면 꼭 그 계획을 지켜야 할 것 같아서, 조금 부담스러워요. 
(계획을 지키다 keep to plan, a.부담스럽다 burdensome)

그래서 계획 대신, 올해 하고 싶은 것들을 더 생각하는 편이에요. 

2024년에는 작년보다 더 성장하고 싶어요. (v. 성장하다 develop)
한국어 선생님으로서도 더 성장하고 싶고, 인간적으로도 더 좋은 사람이 되고 싶어요.

그래서 책도 더 많이 읽고 자기 계발도 더 많이 하고 
좋아하는 사람들과 즐거운 시간을 더 많이 보내고 싶어요. 
(자기 계발 self-improvement, self-developement)

영어 공부도 더 하고, 다른 외국어들도 더 공부할 거예요. 
옛날에 독일어하고 러시아어하고 중국어를 공부했었는데 연습하지 않아서 다 잊어버렸어요. 독일어 공부를 다시 시작해 볼 생각이에요 ㅎㅎ

아! 그리고 원래 건강에 별로 관심이 없었는데,
이제 서른 살이 되어서 좀 건강에 신경을 써 보려고 해요.

저는 운동을 너~무 싫어해서, 운동보다는 건강한 음식을 먹는 것으로 건강을 더 신경 쓰려고 해요. 라면을 아주 좋아하는데 라면을 먹는 횟수를 좀 줄여야 겠어요 ㅎㅎ

여러분은 새해 계획이 있어요? 연초에 어떤 계획을 세워요?
올해 어떤 사람이 되고 싶어요? 무엇을 하고 싶어요?

반짝반짝 빛나는 여러분을 언제나 응원합니다.
새해에는 소망하는 모든 일들이 다 이루지기를 진심으로 바랍니다.

감사합니다.

More and more people are once again booking flights to exciting places around the world.

But as they take their seats, many travelers will remember that spending time with other passengers is not always easy.

Travel website Only Wanderlust surveyed over 1,500 travelers about the most annoying passengers on a plane.

Nine percent of travelers agreed that people who kick your seat are the most annoying passengers. Here are the top 10 on the list.

A passenger who kicks your seat.
A passenger who doesn't smell too nice.
A passenger who talks loudly.
A passenger who pulls on — or pushes against — your seat.
A drunk passenger.
Crying babies or children.
A passenger in front of you reclining their seat.
A passenger wearing strong smelling perfume.
A passenger who doesn't wear their mask correctly.
A passenger who snores when sleeping.
Number seven on the list is a topic that is often discussed.

In the survey, Only Wanderlust asked if passengers have a right to recline their seats, and almost two out of three travelers said that they did.

The website also asked some airline companies about the right to recline. None of the airlines said they had a policy on this topic. But they recommended talking to the passenger in front or behind, or if there is an argument, asking a member of staff for help.

As for crying babies: they can't really help it. But as we get older, perhaps we can all try to think about the people around us when we're on a plane.
