Skillful Communication With The Boss While Taking The Elevator

When you are standing in front of the elevator, waiting for the elevator to come down or come up, looking at your mirror, you suddenly reflect the shadow of your boss.

You push your head into the elevator with your boss and find that the worse thing is that there are only two people in the elevator.

In the space of five feet square, there was an embarrassing atmosphere immediately.

It seems to be more than ten seconds in your office, and it takes longer than a few dozen seconds to get to your office. It seems to be longer than half an hour on weekdays. "What should I say?" your brain whirled swiftly.

As you know, your boss is trying to find the same topic as you, because he is also a person and can feel the embarrassment.

When a reporter asked about this question in the interview, most people did not start with this question, or did not know how to answer it.

But thinking about it, there are still some things worth pondering.

Zhao Ting: what did you say? Hello! Where did you go? "" where did you go for the weekend? "And so on, and then waited for the boss to answer.

Anyway, if he doesn't speak first, I have nothing to say.

Perhaps the boss is thinking about something important and interrupting the train of thought.

In any case, it's so short time, there is nothing to go by.

Reporter comment: looks like this Miss Zhao has not encountered this kind of "elevator embarrassment".

If you practice the drill, you may not feel that good time.

Gao Yong, general manager of CREE Career Development Management Consulting Co., Ltd.: Although the number of companies is not large, I am headed by me.

If you share a ladder with me, employees will feel more or less pressure.

I will not talk about a very formal topic in the elevator, but I will chat with my family in a relaxed tone. For example, the field staff will ask: are the rental conditions of your house good, expensive or not, is it hot now, do you have air-conditioning, etc., or where do you often eat? Plus, "what good place do you have, don't forget to call me!" the atmosphere will definitely ease a lot.

In fact, I sometimes feel nervous when I meet a quiet employee in peacetime. I don't know what to say.

Your question reminds me that we should pay attention to collecting some basic information of employees in order to do "talk".

Perhaps, using the elevator for a short time to care for employees is probably twice the effort.

Reporter comment: do not know this general manager to follow employees to find the good place to eat, drink and play, who will pay the bill?

If you are a boss, you can think of caring for subordinates in a non working environment. This feeling is more real than working hard at work.

Shanghai SIEMENS company Qi Wenfei: just a few days ago, when I was waiting for the elevator, I suddenly ran into the boss who was not in Beijing.

Time is past 10. I must be late.

The boss first opened his mouth and asked, "did you see the customer again?"

"Which customer do you want to see? Who do you see?" unexpectedly, the boss talked very strongly and had to "break the casserole".

Brainstorm a customer name that has something to do with the boss.

With the closing of the elevator door, only two people became more and more dull. Suddenly the customer mentioned that they had just annexed another website, so they mentioned it to their boss. The boss was surprised: "is it? When, I really don't know."

In order to delay time, I asked, "don't you know? The client mentioned you to me today."

Fortunately, when we arrived, I pressed down the ladder button and asked the boss to go ahead, and breathed a sigh of relief in the dark. There was a great feeling of the outside world.

Reporter comments: it seems that the market is indeed responsive, not only to face the needs of customers, the same need to face the boss.

Speaking of something related to the boss and not knowing much about the elevator, it will leave a good impression on the boss.

Chen Mo, deputy general manager of a consulting company: as a subordinate, he may not expect to chat with his boss, especially when he is very strange to this boss. "You'd better not speak to me," which may be the subtext of the subordinates.

When I meet the boss in the elevator, I will do some leisure report and ask, because the elevator is not a formal place after all.

Although we always want to be friends with our superiors, distance is not easy to surpass.

As a boss, my question is always casual, that is, some polite questions.

You should not talk to your subordinates, talk about the League of South States, international week, Maldives and so on, may cause disambiguation: "Why are you talking to me? Is there anything else in mind?"

Your talkative may cause your subordinates to think more.

Because Orientals are full of implicit, a punctuation must be considered for a long time.

Of course, if subordinates see me, silent and full of mind, I will deliberately find something to communicate at work. "How are you recently? Are you in a good mood?"

Reporter comment: Mr. Chen Mo's identity is very special. He is both a manager and a top supervisor. He seems to understand his subordinates' mood better and tell us the rules of words and deeds.

Psychological research shows that there is a magnetic field around everyone. When a person is not close to "invade" the magnetic field, the human body's magnetic waves will be disturbed.

Inadvertently, there is a feeling of being uncomfortable, nervous and ready to fight back.

Therefore, no matter whether you are a boss or an ordinary employee, you can't get close to each other when you are in a narrow space between elevators.

Psychologists say: as a subordinate, you'd better stand at the elevator, so that you can serve the superior when you switch the elevator. As a boss, he is best to "shrink" in the diagonal position, so as to maximize the distance between the two people and unload the psychological burden of his subordinates.
