Workplace Communication, Try The Curve Rule.

Not long ago, a storm that happened to me taught me. Curve communication Embarrassment and helplessness.

　 A and curve communication have benefited me greatly.

Xiao Qiu, marketing public relations.

After graduating from college last year, I entered this company and worked in the marketing department. My immediate supervisor is a woman manager, who is usually easy-going. She asked me to draw up a tender to bid for an office building renovation project. After receiving the task, I was excited and nervous, because this is the first time I made a tender by myself, and a slight loss will affect the success of the bidding. I worked overtime, day and night, and I finished after a week. Carrying these more than 20 pages of the tender to the office of the female boss, the manager read roughly, and then said: "bid first put here, you go back first.

How did the bidding work go? Was she satisfied? I didn't have the bottom of my mind, but I was more upset. On the second morning, the boss still had no response. I knew there was such a situation before, and my colleagues did not submit any tender messages to their superiors, and the final result was rejected. While I was thinking about it, an experienced colleague, the oldest male colleague in our department, came to his concern and said, "how did your bidding work go? How can I help you?" He made a lot of modifications in the tender with red pen, and some data and data were rectified. After a whole afternoon, we both did the bidding again. When I sent the tender to my superior again, I noticed a flash of smile across her face. Later, our company bid successfully. At the celebration meeting, the boss praised me for doing well in the tender.

I felt more grateful to the male colleague, and later I offered to invite him to dinner. He told me in the dinner party that he was actually asked by the manager to help me, and to tell me where to correct and improve. The male colleague finally said, "maybe the manager is afraid that telling you directly will hurt your enthusiasm, so this way of" curve communication "is adopted. Only then did I suddenly realize that I had great respect for the manager.

When female superiors communicate with their subordinates, especially when criticizing or pointing out their subordinates' mistakes or shortcomings, it is best to adopt a way of curve communication, try to be as tactful as possible, and tone as smoothly as possible, not to hurt their subordinates' self-esteem, but also to improve their subordinates' work. The way of expression can be flexible, not necessarily in person, but also in a positive way, such as guiding and reminding subordinates in the right way. Of course, as female subordinates, they need more skills when communicating with their superiors. Especially when the boss has obvious mistakes, he must never rectify or even contradict his superiors in public. He should adopt ways that his superiors can accept, such as individual interviews, E-MAIL, MSN and so on.

　 B, curve communication, tossing people?

Sunny, clerk.

Our offices are all on one floor. The original design of the office building is unreasonable. The room is too small, so it is usually two or three people and an office. My office is on the shady side, and I can hardly see sunshine all the year round. I always wanted to be able to change offices.

The time has come. Two weeks ago, a colleague resigned and left. Just as her office was on the sunny side, and no one passed by, I went to move with the deputy director. It started to feel good. I was very excited to see the long sunshine. But I haven't been happy for just a few days. The vice president of the company came to the office with a new colleague. When he saw me moving to this office, he said to me, "how did you move here?" I explained two sentences, and the deputy general didn't say anything.

I thought this thing passed, and I didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, two days later, I suddenly received a call from the deputy director: "sunny, you still move back to the original office, the deputy general told me to tell you the location of the office to the new colleagues." I was somewhat confused at the time, not because I didn't want to move, but I felt that the leader at that time could tell me directly. Perhaps the deputy chief was embarrassed to speak directly and let me move back, before I told the deputy director.

It needs to be explained that the deputy director and the deputy general are women. I find this so-called "curve communication" embarrassing and frustrating. I still prefer "straight line communication".

Fully understanding the intention of the boss is a basic skill of the subordinates. When the boss likes to express her opinions tactfully, she must pay attention to listening to the foreign voice and observing the facial expressions and facial expressions of the boss. Of course, this understanding is not a wild guess, otherwise, the misunderstanding of the boss's intentions will also be very passive. Sunny can consider and reflect to the boss with colleagues, objectively speaking the actual situation, put forward ideas in a euphemistic tone, and the boss will generally understand his subordinates. {page_break}

　 C, public OL said curve communication

This is the natural advantage of women. Sometimes a facial expression and a facial expression can play a role in communication. On one occasion, because of carelessness, I made a mistake on the number in the report. The manager called me to his office and was about to criticize me. I immediately showed a very innocent look, miserable, full of regret, with a low head, and I wanted to give him a sense of pity and pity. As a result, he just said "pay more attention later" and didn't criticize me again. -- Lisa (Accounting)

I firmly oppose the so-called curve communication, now the workplace pressure is so big, the rhythm is so fast, who has time to listen to your beating around the bush. Especially in the context of business negotiations, both sides hope to go straight to the theme, concise and comprehensive. Don't forget, time is money for businessmen.

Whether it is curvilinear communication or straight line communication, communication is essentially communication. Skill and mode The key is to make proper use of the environment. Good use can enable you to get better interpersonal relationships in the workplace, otherwise, improper use will affect your relationship with your boss and colleagues.
