《以工匠精神雕琢時代品質(zhì)》說課稿 2022-2023學年統(tǒng)編版高中語文必修上冊
答案：銅車馬的輝煌,來自原料的精挑細選、工藝的精巧極致和工匠的精心雕琢?？梢哉f,是精益求精的工匠精神鍛造出了“青銅之冠”的銅車馬。2.“工匠精神”如此重要，那么，你認為“工匠精神”有著怎樣的現(xiàn)實意義?觀點一:工匠精神在企業(yè)層面，可以認為是企業(yè)精神。具體而言，表現(xiàn)在以下幾個方面。第一，創(chuàng)新是企業(yè)不斷發(fā)展的精神內(nèi)核。第二，敬業(yè)是企業(yè)領導者精神的動力。第三，執(zhí)著是企業(yè)走得長久的底氣。改革開放40 多年來，我國涌現(xiàn)出大批有工匠精神的企業(yè)，但也有一些企業(yè)缺乏企業(yè)精神，只追求“短平快”的經(jīng)濟效益。這正是經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的隱憂所在。觀點二:工匠精神在員工層面，就是一-種認真精神、敬業(yè)精神。其核心是: 不僅僅把工作當作賺錢養(yǎng)家糊口的工具，而是樹立起對職業(yè)敬畏、對工作執(zhí)著、對產(chǎn)品負責的態(tài)度，極度注重細節(jié)，不斷追求完美和極致，給客戶無可挑剔的體驗。我國制造業(yè)存在大而不強、產(chǎn)品檔次整體不高、自主創(chuàng)新能力較弱等現(xiàn)象，多少與工匠精神稀缺、“差不多精神”有關。
