Is it possible to like everyone in your office? Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people, much less 50, who all get along perfectly. But unlike in friendships, you need coworkers. You work with them every day, and you depend on them just as they depend on you. Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side.
有可能喜欢办公室里的每一个人吗?想想让15个人聚在一起有多难,更不用说50个人了,而且所有人都完全相处融洽。但与友谊不同,你需要同事。你每天都与他们一起工作,你依赖他们就像他们依赖你一样。以下是一些可以让整个办公室站在你这边的方法。

展示而非隐藏信息
If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace, you may try to stay tight-lipped around them. But you won't be helping either one of you. A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were upfront about themselves more highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness. The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book, but rather, when given the option to offer up details about yourself or studiously stash them away, you should just be honest.
如果你与工作场所中的某人有意见分歧,你可能会试图在他们周围守口如瓶。但这对你们双方都没有帮助。哈佛商学院的一项研究发现,观察者总是对那些坦率表达自己的人评价更高,而那些隐藏信息的人则失去了可信度。这个教训并非是说你应该让你的私人生活成为一本公开的书,而是说,当你有机会提供关于自己的细节或刻意将它们藏起来时,你应该坦诚。

放慢节奏并倾听
Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others. We often feel the need to tell others how we feel, whether it's a concern about a project, a stray thought, or a compliment. Those are all valid, but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers, too. In fact, rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don't value their opinions. Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine, back-and-forth conversation, rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.
与对自己坦诚同样重要的是接纳他人。我们常常觉得需要告诉别人我们的感受,无论是对项目的担忧、偶然的想法还是赞美。这些都是合理的,但你也需要花时间倾听同事的意见。事实上,急于表达自己的想法可能会让同事觉得你不重视他们的意见。尽你所能让同事参与到真诚的双向对话中,而不是优先考虑自己的想法。
(43)
与每个人共度时光
It's common to have a "cubicle mate" or special confidant in a work setting. But in addition to those trusted coworkers, you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you. Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don't always see. Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job. It requires minimal effort and goes a long way. This will help to grow your internal network, in addition to being a nice break in the work day.
在工作环境中拥有一个"隔间伙伴"或特殊知己是很常见的。但除了那些值得信赖的同事之外,你还应该拓宽视野,了解你周围的所有人。利用午餐和咖啡休息时间与你不常见到的同事会面。了解他们工作之外的生活和兴趣。这只需要最少的努力却能产生深远的影响。这将有助于扩大你的内部人际网络,同时也是工作日中一个不错的休息。
(44)
给予赞美,但不要太多
Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear. And you don't have to be someone's boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project. This will help engender good will in others. But don't overdo it or be fake about it. One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive, possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.
积极的反馈对任何人来说都很重要。你不必是某人的老板就可以告诉他们在某个特定项目上做得非常出色。这将有助于在他人心中培养善意。但不要做得过火或显得虚假。一项研究发现,人们对从负面转向正面的评价反应最好,可能是因为这表明他们赢得了某人的认可。
(45)
调整你的互动方式
This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off, but it can go a long way to achieving results. Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction. Watch out for how they verbalize with others. Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters, while others are more straightforward. Jokes that work on one person won't necessarily land with another. So, adapt your style accordingly to type. Consider the person that you're dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.
这一点可能更难做到,但对于取得成果大有帮助。在与任何同事打交道时要记住他们从互动中欣赏什么。注意他们如何与他人交流。有些人喜欢在会议中先闲聊几句再深入讨论重要事项,而其他人则更直截了当。对一个人有效的笑话不一定适用于另一个人。因此,根据类型相应地调整你的风格。提前考虑你正在打交道的那个人以及什么能让你达到预期的结果。
