實(shí)用英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)(高級(jí)) 4.Office politics
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:In the real world, if you want to get to the top, you've got to know how to play the game. Sure, you'd like to think that people are promoted based on their abilities and their talent. 但如果你像我一樣曾在大公司工作，你就知道還有另外一個(gè)因素需要考慮，那就是辦公室政治。 I know what you're thinking ... aren't we more evolved than having to play political games to get where we want to? Sorry!
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:The office is the modern jungle ... and it's survival of the fittest! But, since you have a conscience, I'm going to tell you how you to play in a way that is respectful, while still moving you in the direction you want to go. To the top! You see, in office politics, you can play nicely ... or you can play like Machiavelli. But if you want to go home at night feeling good about yourself ... it's better to play nicely.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:Here's my advice to you for how to succeed at office politics ... without becoming a backstabber. Don't keep your head in the sand. Office politics is a reality and it's better to participate then to pretend it doesn't exist. But remember, keep it positive. If you're respectful to your colleagues and everyone likes you, you're less likely to get stabbed in the back.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:Develop good relationships with your co workers. You never know when you will need someone on your side. Do nice things for people when the opportunity comes up. Be supportive of your co workers, and they will support you. Also, develop good relationships with higher ups.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:Seek their advice - they'll appreciate your desire to grow as an employee. If possible, find a mentor. A more experienced colleague who can offer you valuable advice. He or she can also advocate for you when you are being considered for a promotion. Notice how things get done, think about the values of the company, and gain an understanding of the culture of the organization.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:If you show that you like the way the company works, your boss and your boss's bosses will be happier to make you an important part of it. Also, get to know your co workers. If you seek to understand your co workers, you may avoid potential disagreements. Top managers know that the key to management is being a good listener and taking the time to understand the needs of the people around them. No matter how much you don't like someone, don't let your anger or annoyance show.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:Don't humiliate them, attack them, or insult them. What goes around comes around. Your personal attack may seem justified, but by doing this, you will gain an enemy for later. Update your skills to be relevant to the company's plans and initiatives. This will make you a value to the company and will open doors to more opportunities and responsibilities.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:This advice may seem straightforward. But you would be surprised at how many people think office politics is more about manipulation than respect. But I don't think it has to be! Just remember, for any situation, you have the ability to choose how you will react. And the choice you make now could have important repercussions later.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:Behave wisely ... this is your career we're talking about ... it isn't the jungle.
