In an emerging technology company called "Painted Dreams", Chen Chen, a young and talented project manager, is at ease in the workplace.
But he is not satisfied with the usual work results, he is eager to lead the team towards higher goals.
One day, to celebrate the project team's latest successful product launch, Chen Chen decided to invite the team members to a dinner at a well-known restaurant in the city center.
However, in the process of preparation, Chen Chen realized that this was not just a simple dinner, but also an opportunity to cultivate team cohesion and enhance trust among members.
To this end, he decided to carefully plan this team dinner, hoping that through this gathering, the team members can get to know each other more deeply in a pleasant atmosphere and enhance the overall team's ability to collaborate.
On the night of the dinner, the team members arrived one after another, and the sound of laughter and conversation gradually filled the entire private room.
However, Chen Chen noticed that the new team member Lin Yifeng was slightly restrained.
In order to take care of everyone's feelings, Chen Chen specially invited Lin Yifeng to participate in the ordering, and also encouraged everyone to share interesting stories and challenges at work, so as to make the atmosphere more active.
When Chen Chen asked if he wanted to add dishes, the entire table was already full of all kinds of delicacies.
The laughter and relaxed conversation of the team members made for a pleasant dinner scene.
At this time, Chen Chen is not only a project manager, but also an attentive moderator, and he expects to further enliven the atmosphere and observe the interaction between team members through this small proposal.
Lin Yifeng's slightly hesitant appearance attracted Chen Chen's attention.
He observed that the chopsticks in Lin Yifeng's hand were gently tapping the plate, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Chen Chen realized that this might be a manifestation that Lin Yifeng had an opinion in his heart but couldn't find an opportunity to express it.
So, Chen Chen decided to give him a chance.
Chen Chen responded to everyone's feedback in a very relaxed tone, "It seems that everyone is very satisfied with these delicacies now." ”
Actually, the reason why I ask this is not only to consider whether you are satisfied with your meal tonight, but also to take this opportunity to hear any thoughts you have on anything other than work. ”
For example, do you have any new insights or suggestions for our project? He looked at Lin Yifeng with a smile and nodded encouragingly.
Chen Chen's words made the atmosphere of the scene relaxed all of a sudden, and also created an opportunity for Lin Yifeng to express his opinions.
Lin Yifeng felt that he was valued by his leaders, and the encouragement of his leaders made him more confident.
He cleared his throat and began to share one of his suggestions for the project.
He said something a little jerky, but full of creativity and original insights.
At this moment, the attention of the team members was focused on Lin Yifeng, who listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Chen Chen also listened very carefully and led everyone to have a lively discussion on Lin Yifeng's suggestion.
Through this discussion, the team members not only found a new direction to improve the project, but more importantly, Lin Yifeng's self-confidence was greatly improved.
From the initial restraint to the final active participation, Lin Yifeng's transformation also symbolizes the improvement of team cohesion.
At the end of the dinner, Chen Chen looked at the excited and active team members, and was secretly satisfied.
He understood,A successful career is not only based on one's technical or managerial skills, but also on the ability to understand and respect the emotions of each team member and the ability to bring out the potential of the team.
This dinner not only deepened the understanding and trust between the team members, but also opened up his deep understanding of interpersonal relationships in the workplaceIn the workplace, the power of emotional intelligence is sometimes more important than hard skills.
