Chapter 58 Communication Arts for Women in the Workplace

For professional women to succeed, the most important thing is to be able to communicate smoothly and freely with colleagues, superiors, and clients. As far as women are concerned, excellent communication skills are the key elements to gain recognition from others and integrate into the team as soon as possible. In the workplace, there are many ways to communicate, including how to express one's own views, but also how to listen to others' opinions and so on.In addition to direct face-to-face conversations, a quick E-mail, a warm phone call, or even an eye contact between the two parties are all means of communication.

Professional women need to master the following seven principles when communicating: If you have just arrived at a company, you must fully realize that you are a latecomer in the team and the most inexperienced novice.Generally speaking, leaders and colleagues have experienced workplace tests, and they are your predecessors in the workplace.Under such circumstances, as a newcomer, you should try to use a low-key and roundabout way when expressing your ideas.Especially when your opinions conflict with those of other colleagues, you should fully consider the prestige of the other colleagues and fully respect their personal opinions.At the same time, when expounding your own views or reasons, you should not emphasize yourself too much, and think more consciously from the standpoint of the other party.

Different corporate cultures, different management systems, and different business departments will naturally have different communication styles, sometimes even the opposite.Therefore, in the midst of work, pay attention to observe the characteristics of communication among colleagues in the team, pay attention to the different ways that everyone expresses their opinions, and try to adopt the methods that everyone is more accustomed to and recognize. Whether you are introverted or extroverted, or like to share with others or not, at work, it is much better to always pay attention to communicating with colleagues than to isolate yourself and avoid communication.Although companies from different cultures can vary greatly in their communication styles, employees who are extroverted and open to socializing with others are always more popular.You should seize every possible opportunity to communicate freely with leaders and colleagues, and express your views and ideas skillfully at the right time.

When colleagues come together because of working relationships, they should have a minimum collective awareness, focus on the overall situation, and consciously maintain the community of interests that has been formed.Especially when communicating with people from other units, you must have the concept of "team image" in your mind, make up for more but not tear it down, and don't damage the collective's great interests just for small personal benefits, and strive to "keep the family ugly". Colleagues often have very different views on the same issue due to differences in experience, standpoints, etc., resulting in disputes of varying degrees. A little carelessness can easily hurt the harmony among colleagues.Therefore, when there is a disagreement with a colleague, the first thing is not to argue too much about right and wrong.Second, don't blindly indulge in the unprincipled "peace is the most important", this will go to another extreme, which is not conducive to the development of the group's cause.Therefore, in the face of problems, especially when there are major differences, we must strive to find common ground and strive to seek common ground while reserving minor differences.

In a unit, if a few people interact too frequently, it is easy to give people the impression of intentionally forming a small circle, and it is easy to make other colleagues suspicious, and even make some mentally unhealthy people think "are they there again?" Talking about other people's right and wrong" negative thoughts.Therefore, when interacting with your boss and colleagues, you must pay attention to maintaining an appropriate distance to prevent getting involved in small circles. It is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps between colleagues. If they cannot be properly dealt with in a timely manner, they will gradually accumulate and spread and form major conflicts.As the saying goes, enemies should be resolved rather than knotted.When you have conflicts with your colleagues, you must be brave enough to take the initiative to forbear, look for the reasons from your own side, put yourself in the other party's perspective and think more about the other party, so as to prevent the conflict from intensifying.If a conflict has formed and you have indeed made a mistake, you should put down your face, apologize bravely, exchange sincerity for sincerity, and achieve reconciliation.Taking a step back, the sea and the sky are bright, as long as one party has the courage to take the initiative to break the deadlock, you will find that there is no unresolvable barrier between them.

Of course, communication is a sharp double-edged sword. Saying things that shouldn’t be said, expressing too extreme personal views, offending the rationality and authority of others, and being too dull and trivial will directly affect your career destiny.So, for professional women, what kind of misunderstandings are there in workplace communication? Some women encounter various problems at work due to their introverted personality, or they are too concerned about face. They encounter difficulties that cannot be solved by themselves alone, or they cannot understand the task instructions delivered by their superiors at once. At this time, they are not Go to the leader or colleagues to explain the situation clearly and negotiate, but to understand and deal with the problem based on your own personal subjective wishes, so that in the end it is often full of mistakes and omissions.

For this type of women, you must not take it for granted to deal with issues that you don't know very well, and ask more experienced or expert leaders and colleagues for advice.In this way, on the one hand, it can reduce the chance of errors in the work; on the other hand, it can also strengthen close communication with the team and quickly integrate into the team. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and most newcomers who have just entered the workplace are impatient to express their innovative ideas, eager to get everyone's admiration, recognition and appreciation.But in fact, your ideas usually have many loopholes or are unrealistic, and eager for success will cause others to resent and disgust you.

As a newbie in the workplace, I just arrived in an unfamiliar environment.No matter how ambitious you are, you should also have a learning and growth mentality. In many cases, "do more work and talk less" is always a good way. The boss is leading a heavyweight customer to visit the company, but you run over aggressively and ask when your social insurance payment starts, the boss will definitely think you are "unclear"; you are always bored during meetings Say something, but after the meeting is over, you can’t help expressing your opinions on the matters decided at the meeting. Of course, this will inevitably cause others to be very disgusted with you... If you don’t know how to pay attention to the occasion and communicate in an improper way, you will inevitably fail.

Therefore, in workplace communication, you must learn to observe words and expressions, know how to express your personal views in an appropriate way in an appropriate situation, or discuss with others how to solve various work-related problems.
