八条职场"潜规则"

泽燕分享

  在职场中,也会有一些规则。那么你知道这些规则是什么吗?接下来学习啦小编为大家整理了八条职场"潜规则",希望对你有帮助哦!

  Sports have unwritten rules. In baseball, jogging slowly around the bases after hitting a homerun, or stealing second with a 10-run lead, or cutting across the pitcher's mound on your way tothe dugout are all violations. Breaking one can lead to bean balls and empty dugouts.Punishment is often swift and harsh.

  Business has unwritten rules, too — and violators are often punished just as swiftly. Here areeight:

  1. Never dress above your position. 根据你的职位穿衣

  I know — dressing for success is important, acting like you're already in the job is the best wayto get the job, etc. It's also the surest way to draw the not-so-friendly fire of colleagues orsubordinates. Dress slightly "better" if you want — but just slightly. Otherwise you'll beperceived as a shameless climber. The only time this doesn't apply is if you run your ownbusiness, but even then you should dress in a way that enhances your image while ensuringcustomers feel comfortable.

  2. Never show up a peer in a meeting. 慎重反驳同事的观点

  A colleague proposes an idea. It stinks. Not your job to say so, though. If you're a supervisorand another supervisor makes a terrible suggestion that doesn't affect your area or youremployees, sit tight. Let someone else, preferably someone above you, shoot it down. Thenjump in if you can to modify the idea so it is more workable, giving credit to the othersupervisor for raising an important issue, of course. Bad ideas come and go, but professionalrelationships should be forever.

  3. Never sit by the CEO when he comes to visit. 别急于跟高层领导套近乎

  You walk into a conference room. The CEO, fresh off the plane, is there. Say hi, introduceyourself, and then sit at least two seats away. There are better ways to get face time. Ploppingyourself down by the big guy (or gal) will do nothing for your career and everything to drawsideways glances and post-meeting sniping.

  4. Never use your position as an enabler. 别滥用职位带来的“特权”

  Here's a classic example. In many companies, how late you arrive for a meeting depends onwhere you stand on the food chain — the higher you are the later you arrive and the less likelyothers are to complain, at least openly. Never use your position to enable discourteous,rude, or insensitive behavior. Everyone notices — and everyone resents it.

  5. Never fail to two-way mentor. 要受于人也要授于人

  You have a mentor. Great! Mentors can provide motivation, be a source of ideas, providecounsel and guidance. So pass it on. Mentor someone below you. Otherwise everyone knowsyou take like a bandit but give like a miser. Think of it this way: You may aspire to someone'sposition, but at the same time someone aspires to yours. A sub-set of this rule: If you want agreat mentor, first be a great mentor.

  6. Never "borrow" someone's idea. 别盗用别人的点子

  Business owner, CEO, supervisor, entry-level employee… doesn't matter. Always give creditwhere credit is due. Steal an idea and the victim never forgets. And don't fall back on the old, "Well, they work for me, and we're a team… so I was just raising the idea on behalf of theteam." No one goes for that excuse but you.

  7. Never leave out the negatives. 别报喜不报忧

  We all like sharing good news. Good news is interesting; bad news is critical. I like to know ashipment went out on time, but I need to know a shipment will be late so I can contact thecustomer and put other plans in place. (And speaking of customers, always share potentialnegatives as soon as possible — the fewer surprises the better.) Positives are easy to deal with;negatives can make or break a business if the right people are not aware.

  8. Never talk when you don't have something to say. 没有主意的时候不如保持沉默

  We've all known the guy who must speak in every meeting, even if he has nothing to add. (Okay, we've all known a lot of those guys.) You may think you need to contribute just to showyou're involved; the rest of us know you're just talking to show you're important. And we thinka lot less of you as a result. Think of words as something scarce; use them sparingly and onlywhen they will make the most impact.
