“你的策略很可笑”
Ever think, "If I were in charge around here, we'd go in a whole different direction..."? The safest option, of course, is to keep that opinion entirely to yourself.
你是否有過這樣的想法:“要是由我來負責,我們就會朝著截然不同的方向努力……”當然,最安全的做法是把這種想法完全留在心里。
But if your corporate culture encourages debate and consensus, respectfully disagreeing can pay off. Just make sure it's clear you have the best intentions for doing so, Grenny says.
但格雷尼指出,如果你的公司文化鼓勵通過辯論達成共識,以尊重的態度提出不同意見會帶來回報。但一定要讓別人明白,你這樣做是出于善意。
"You want to establish up front that, far from trying to undermine your boss, you're offering a different viewpoint that might help," he says.
他說:“要充分表明,你提出的不同觀點可能有用,而絕不是要挖老板的墻角。
It's not so much what you say as how you say it, Grenny notes. So tread softly and ask lots of questions. Lay out facts supporting your view that a given plan won't work, then keep reassuring your boss that your goal is to help the whole team succeed.
格雷尼認為,怎么說比說什么更重要。所以態度要溫和,還要問許多問題。用事實來說明你為什么認為某項計劃不會奏效,而且要向老板表明,你的目的是幫助整個團隊取得成功。 他指出,得體地就現狀提出不同意見能體現出你的關切之情。這樣,“你的開誠布公就可能讓老板的態度變得更加坦誠。”希望是這樣。
