Chapter 62 Tips for Communicating with Colleagues

People in the workplace can sometimes feel exhausted - socializing too much that they don't like, or having to work with people that they don't like.Indeed, you may not have a better choice.However, the workplace may not be as pessimistic as you think, the key is to see how you look at it.Regarding how to communicate with colleagues, my advice to you is as follows: In addition to relatives, the people I see most often are probably colleagues.Generally speaking, co-workers and you are limited to working partnerships (of course, you may become friends, but most co-workers do).But, if you want, you can learn as much useful things from your colleagues as you can from your friends.

No matter how much you like or hate your colleagues, when talking to them, you must first respect and consider each other.Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, and they will provide us with a lot of work experience and knowledge.But if you draw a gap between you, you lose more opportunities to improve. Don't blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah in the office.Many people are so eager to be understood that they talk too much.You should put your main energy on observing and learning rather than expressing yourself.Only by asking your colleagues about work problems will you improve yourself; otherwise, you will fall behind others.

Listen carefully to what your colleagues say, don't be distracted because what the other party says is unimportant or not good enough, and try to find the positive factors in the other party's speech.Anyone can become your future partner, good friend, or even your immediate boss. Whether it's a co-worker wearing a nice shirt or a job well done, you can compliment him or her.Don't hesitate to praise your colleagues, because praise is one of the most direct and effective ways to make him feel good about you.Of course, you can't praise him without principle, otherwise it will give people an impression of insincerity.

To liven up the work atmosphere, some laughter and laughter may be needed in the office.A humorous line or two from you may do the trick, as well as show off your talents and personality, but you have to be careful with your jokes. (1) Pay attention to the occasion of joking During the time of concentrating on work, it is best not to suddenly come up with a humorous sentence.This not only violates discipline, but also affects work. (2) jokes should be moderate Don't take the joke too far, otherwise it will inevitably have a bad influence on you and your colleagues. (3) Distinguish objects

Different colleagues should be treated differently. (4) Don’t take yellow accents as humor Adult men often like to tell some pornographic jokes, which can be forgiven among the same sex, but if the opposite sex is present, pornographic jokes should generally not be made. It is inevitable that colleagues need to help each other with work or life matters, but sometimes you have to refuse each other's requests, which is embarrassing. Rejecting colleagues must be based on maintaining the relationship between you.When your colleague is going to ask you to do something, you can tell him that you still have some important things to do, and you can help him do this thing after you finish these things.Show the reasons for your refusal, and the other party will understand you.For specific refusal methods, please refer to the relevant chapters above.

Don't pry into other people's privacy.Everyone enjoys knowing other people's privacy, but they don't want others to know their own privacy.Therefore, in order not to arouse other people's resentment and vigilance, never inquire about other people's privacy. Don't speak ill of your boss in front of your colleagues, and don't talk casually.Some of your words that seem to be spoken in jest are heard by your colleagues, and some people may regard you as a stepping stone for him.You can't help but guard against this. Don't order others.As I have said before, no matter in terms of experience, knowledge or status, you are not qualified to order your colleagues.If you want to get help from others, you have to use other methods.

Don't be too loud.Don't make yourself appear different in front of your colleagues.In fact, everyone will think of themselves as different.Therefore, keep a low-key and humble attitude, only in this way will you be recognized by your colleagues.
