Mondo Workplace Updated on 2024-01-30

In the workplace, we often encounter the need to attend meetings or receive guests, at this time, how to arrange seats and table cards for the leader is very important, because it is related to the identity and status of the leader, as well as our professionalism and image. So, if there are two leaders at the same level attending the event together, how should we set up the table cards? Now, let's learn Xi relevant etiquette knowledge together!

First of all, we need to clarify the specific identities and positions of the two leaders at the same level, for example, whether they belong to the same unit or different units, whether they are party and government leaders or administrative leaders, whether they are the organizers or guests, and so on. These factors can affect the number of seats and the arrangement of the tables.

Secondly, we need to choose the appropriate seating rules according to the layout of the venue and the form of the event. Generally speaking, there are the following seating rules:

Rostrum: This is the most common venue layout, which is usually used for formal occasions such as large conferences, symposiums, press conferences, etc. The rostrum-style seating rules follow the principle of "high in the front and low in the back, low in the middle and high on both sides, high on the left and low on the right", that is, the front row is higher than the back row, the middle is higher than the sides, and the left side is higher than the right side. If the meeting is between the guest of honor and the guest of honor, the rule of "facing the door first" should also be followed, that is, the guest of honor faces the side of the entrance of the venue, and the guest of honor faces the other side. The rostrum-style seating rules are divided into two types: single center and double center, as follows:

Single center: When the number of leaders is an odd number, the single-center seating rule is adopted, that is, the main leaders are the center, and then the left, right, left and right are arranged in turn. For example, if there are five leaders attending the meeting, then their seating order should be: 4 2 1 3 5, where No. 1 is the main leader, center, No. 2 is in the left-hand position of No. 1, No. 3 is in the right-hand position of No. 1, and so on.

Dual-center: When the number of leaders is even, the rule of double-center seating is adopted, that is, the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders are the center, and then the left, right, left and right are arranged in turn. For example, if there are six leaders attending the meeting, then their seating order should be: 6 4 2 1 3 5, where No. 1 and No. 2 are the main leaders, and they are in the center, No. 2 is in the left-hand position of No. 1, No. 3 is in the right-hand position of No. 1, and so on.

Stick table: This is a more flexible venue layout, usually used for small meetings, working meals, business negotiations and other informal occasions. The seating rules of the strip table follow the principle of "medium and high and low on both sides, left high and right low", that is, the middle is higher than the sides, and the left side is higher than the right. If the meeting is between the guest of honor and the guest of honor, the rule of "facing the door first" should also be followed, that is, the guest of honor faces the side of the entrance of the venue, and the guest of honor faces the other side. The seating rules of the strip table are divided into two types: unilateral and bilateral, as follows:

Unilateral: When the number of leaders is odd, the unilateral seating rule is adopted, that is, the main leader is the center, and then the left, right, left and right are arranged in turn. For example, if there are five leaders attending the meeting, then their seating order should be: 4 2 1 3 5, where No. 1 is the main leader, center, No. 2 is in the left-hand position of No. 1, No. 3 is in the right-hand position of No. 1, and so on.

Bilateral: When the number of leaders is even, the two-sided seating rule is adopted, that is, the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders are the center, and then the left, right, left and right are arranged in turn. For example, if there are six leaders attending the meeting, then their seating order should be: 6 4 2 1 3 5, where No. 1 and No. 2 are the main leaders, and they are in the center, No. 2 is in the left-hand position of No. 1, No. 3 is in the right-hand position of No. 1, and so on.

Finally, we have to make and place table cards for the leader according to the seating rules. The following points should be paid attention to in the production of table cards:

The size of the table cards should be moderate, generally 10 cm to 20 cm, not too large or too small, affecting the appearance and reading.

The material of the table cards should be strong, generally cardboard or plastic, and do not use materials that are easy to bend or break, which will affect the texture and stability.

The color elements of the table cards are net, generally white or light colors, do not use too fancy or dazzling colors, affecting the vision and atmosphere.

The font of the table cards should be clear, generally in black or Song, and do not use too fancy or difficult to read fonts, which will affect recognition and respect.

The content of the table cards should be concise, generally the name and position of the leader, and do not add too many embellishments or abbreviations to affect expression and politeness.

Pay attention to the following points when placing the cards on the table:

The position of the table cards should be accurate, generally placed directly in front of the leader, not to the left or right, affecting symmetry and coordination.

The angle of the table cards should be appropriate, generally 60 degrees or 90 degrees of inclination, not too flat or upright, affecting the angle of view and effect.

The spacing of the table cards should be appropriate, generally 30 cm away from the leader, not too close or far away, affecting comfort and convenience.

The order of the table cards should be consistent, generally the same as the order of the seats, and should not be reversed or confused, affecting the order and norms.

Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding and mastery of how to arrange seats and table cards for the two leaders at the same level. In practical work, we should flexibly use these etiquette knowledge according to the specific situation to create a comfortable and respectful environment for leaders, and at the same time show our professionalism and quality, and add a bright color to our professional life!
