職場(chǎng)“老好人”適應(yīng)的必備生存法則
How Nice Guys Can Get Ahead
好人怎么前進(jìn)?
Conventional business wisdom has longheld that the nice guy -- or gal -- won't get as far up the corporateladder as the cutthroat competitor。
傳統(tǒng)的商業(yè)經(jīng)在很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間內(nèi)都認(rèn)定好好先生(或女士)在職場(chǎng)晉升的斗爭(zhēng)中會(huì)輸給那些殘酷的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手。
Today's challenging economic times would seem to allow even less room for pleasantries in the business world。
如今越來(lái)越嚴(yán)峻的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)更使得那些老好人在商場(chǎng)無(wú)藏身之所。
But executive coach Russ C. Edelman, who is a principal in a Boston-based consulting firmbelieves otherwise。
但是波士頓一家咨詢公司的主要負(fù)責(zé)人、執(zhí)行教練Russ C. Edelman則有不同的意見。
"The underlying element is balance --you can't be a jerk, and you can't be too nice," says Edelman,"You haveto be assertive and cordial."
Edelman說：“最基本的要點(diǎn)是平衡性—你不要去做個(gè)混蛋，但是你也不用太好。你必須要非常自信、很熱忱。”
Here are six of his strategies for how nice employees -- and their companies -- can finish first。
以下六條建議是那些好員工和他們的公司可以率先做到的。
Warts and All
不隱瞞任何缺點(diǎn)
Rather than trying to seem perfect,being honest about your shortcomings in an interview or on the job canbe perceived as an asset。
與其試圖讓自己看起來(lái)很完美，還不如在面試或工作中誠(chéng)實(shí)的承認(rèn)自己的缺點(diǎn)，這樣的話別人才會(huì)認(rèn)為你是有價(jià)值的員工。
"People need to maintain a level ofawareness of their strengths and weaknesses. It's important from aninterview perspective that you can be candid," says Edelman。
Edelman說：“人們需要對(duì)自己的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)有一定的認(rèn)識(shí)。從面試官的角度來(lái)說你的坦率是很重要的。”
Set Limits
設(shè)置上限
You'll earn more respect from your boss and colleagues if you set appropriate limits, while pledging to support shared goals。
在承諾為共同的目標(biāo)提供支持時(shí)設(shè)置恰當(dāng)?shù)南薅葧?huì)讓你的上司和同事更加尊重你。
People laud the corporate hero -- theperson going above and beyond -- but not corporate martyrs, who havekilled themselves and potentially put the business in a compromisedsituation。
人們會(huì)稱贊公司的英雄——那個(gè)鶴立雞群的人，但是不會(huì)稱贊公司的殉難者，那些不僅讓自己壯烈犧牲還讓公司陷于兩難境地的人。
Decisions, Decisions
決策，決心
Don't be so overwhelmed by the numberof difficult choices that you make none at all. It's OK as a manager tooperate a "selective democracy" in which you take a sampling of viewsto get input, but don't include everyone in the process。
不要被那些根本不需要你拿主意的困難抉擇而打敗。你也可以用“民主選擇”的方式收集幾個(gè)人的意見，然后整理給經(jīng)理，讓他來(lái)做決策，在整個(gè)過程中并不需要每個(gè)人都顧及到。
"Overly nice guys are too enamored with trying to get everyone involved."
“濫好人都太執(zhí)著于試圖讓每個(gè)人都參與進(jìn)來(lái)。”
The Courage to Speak Up
敢于說出來(lái)的勇氣
Learn to find a comfortable placebetween speaking up about a problem -- and those responsible for it --and maintaining respect for others。
學(xué)會(huì)在說出一個(gè)問題以及要承擔(dān)的相關(guān)責(zé)任之間找到一個(gè)舒服的位置，并且要尊重他人。
"You want to be able to demonstrateyou have skills to have the 'courageous discussion' and confront anddisarma situation without it becoming very ugly."
你要能夠證明在一個(gè)問題變得非常難堪之前你有面對(duì)困難、有討論的勇氣以及有解決問題的能力。
Risks Lead to Rewards
冒險(xiǎn)給你帶來(lái)回報(bào)
Don't be afraid to take a risk byputting your great idea or proposal out there. At the same time, find away to do so that suits your personal style。
不要害怕把你的好想法和提案說出來(lái)會(huì)承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。同時(shí)，也要找到一種符合你個(gè)人風(fēng)格的方式來(lái)做這件事。
"Are you someone who's going to walkup to the CEO and say, 'This is what I like and this is what I don'tlike about the company,' or someone who has to float an idea by 60people? What if you have a great idea and your manager doesn't want tohear it? Do you go around him?"
“你是這樣的人嗎?徑直走進(jìn)CEO辦公室，跟他說‘對(duì)于本公司，哪些是我喜歡的，哪些是我不喜歡的“還是說你有想法后要去詢問60個(gè)人的意見?如果你有個(gè)很棒的主意而你的經(jīng)理不采納怎么辦?你是否會(huì)繞過他呢?”
Win-Win Situation初入職場(chǎng)應(yīng)該知道的10個(gè)行為準(zhǔn)則
雙贏的情況
If you come up with the goods to qualify for a promotion or land new business for the company, accept your good fortune。
如果你符合了晉升的條件或者為公司談了一筆新生意，那就坦然接受你的好運(yùn)吧。
"You have a right to win," Edelmansays. "So many overly nice guys will compromise their success and their companies' to avoid hurting someone else's feelings. They would ratherlose themselves than see one of their friends or colleagues lose out onthe situation."
Edelman說：“你有贏的權(quán)利，而有的濫好人會(huì)為了怕傷害到其他人的感情而放棄了自己的成功，也給公司帶來(lái)了傷害。他們寧愿自己失敗也不愿意看到一個(gè)朋友或同事出局。”
