????這家測試設(shè)備和虛擬儀器軟件制造商的高管們都身居管理第一線。首席執(zhí)行官詹姆斯?楚洽德被員工們稱為“T博士”。他常常會與一線工作人員親切交談，也會經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在公司內(nèi)部大大小小的會議中，以了解最新業(yè)務(wù)情況、傳達(dá)戰(zhàn)略要求并聽取反饋。楚洽德的管理風(fēng)格甚至有專門的說法：“運(yùn)動鞋式管理”（Sneaker Management），這形象地描述了他特有的在公司內(nèi)部與員工邊走邊聊、面對面的溝通方式。他說，他認(rèn)為這是了解員工關(guān)切的最佳途徑。在午餐時看到他與員工在公司餐廳聊天更是司空見慣。為了讓員工的生活更輕松，公司還推出了內(nèi)部診所NI衛(wèi)生服務(wù)中心（NI Health Center），可以為員工及其配偶或伴侶提供疾病的首診與診療服務(wù)。一名員工稱：“從企業(yè)文化到可參與項目的廣度，可以說在國家儀器公司工作生活的幾乎所有方面都是令人振奮的。我遇到的所有同事無不熱愛自己的工作和團(tuán)隊。”

????Leaders of the test equipment and virtual instrument software maker manage on the ground floor. CEO James Truchard—known as “Dr. T” among employees—frequently drops in on staff and meetings throughout the company to keep apprised of the business, communicate strategies, and hear feedback. Truchard even has a name for his administrative style: “sneaker management,” which describes his characteristic walk-and-talk, face-to-face approach. He says he believes it’s the best way to keep in touch with employee concerns. It’s not unusual to find Truchard chatting with employees in the company cafeteria at lunch. To make employees’ lives easier, the company also features the NI Health Center, an on-site medical clinic that can serve as employees’ and their spouse or partner’s primary care physician. Says one employee, “From the corporate culture to the breadth of projects available, nearly every aspect of life at NI is exciting. I have yet to meet or work with anyone who isn't passionate about their work and team.”
