At the meeting, the leader asked you after speaking, do you have anything to add?This is a very common scenario.
However, many people do very badly when it comes to answering this question.
When the leader asks you to add or give comments, how to reply?
If we answer "I have no opinion" directly, although it looks confident on the surface, it will actually give people a sense of inauthenticity, and at the same time, it will also lack deep thinking and positive attitude towards work.
So, what should the answer look like for high emotional intelligence?
Not long after Xiao Han joined the company, when he attended the morning meeting, the leader enthusiastically announced his work plan to everyone. After speaking, he looked at Xiao Han and said, "Xiao Han, do you have anything to add after listening, or do you have any opinions?"”
Xiao Han thought for a while, and said seriously: "Boss, I think your plan has been considered more comprehensively, for the time being, I haven't thought of the points that need to be added, I will implement it first, and report to you in time if I find any problems." ”
Xiao Han's answer was recognized by the leader and also by other colleagues.
In fact, when the leader asks you to put forward opinions at the meeting, it is not to let you stand on the high ground and become a critic, but to let you express yourself and make it more secure.
The more excellent people are, the more they will control the time, judge the situation, and take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, when it is your turn to give your opinion in a meeting, don't be an honest person and tell the truth directly, and don't say "I have no opinion" when you have low emotional intelligence, be a person with high emotional intelligence and respond to the boss's problems tactfully. And people with high emotional intelligence often respond to their boss's problems in these 3 ways.
1. Analyze whether the boss really needs your opinion
In the meeting, pay attention to judging the real purpose of the boss's solicitation. Sometimes the boss may genuinely want advice, while other times it may just be a formality. After correctly judging whether the boss needs an opinion, flexibly organize the response, and even if the boss does not need advice, you can also answer smartly to maintain the relationship.
Second, agree with the boss's proposal
Even if the boss really needs your opinion, it is advisable not to rush to express your opinion. Affirm your boss's proposal first, and then make some suggestions for improvement. This avoids the risk of embarrassment and offending your boss, while showing that you are serious about the problem and protecting your boss's face.
3. Organizational language to express your own opinions
When making suggestions, it's important to organize clear, structured language to ensure that others can understand your train of thought and logic. Good presentation skills not only increase the persuasiveness of your suggestions, but also help your boss to have a better assessment of your ability to do your job. Left-handed language can be difficult to understand and reduce the likelihood that the recommendation will be adopted.
In fact, there is a need for methods in work, and you can't do things at a glance, and you can't be too opportunistic. We must know when to look at the board and when to be opportunistic, so as to get the green eyes of the boss in the workplace and develop better in the workplace.
