My retired deputy uncle once said to me, ".In the unit, you must manage your personality everywhere: 'shabby' and 'getting rich' can help you avoid too much trouble;Look shabby with colleagues, and get rich in the face of outsiders! This sentence made me feel like a fish in water in the workplace, and also made me better understand the way of interpersonal communication in the workplace.
It doesn't mean that we have to live a poor life, but that we have to be humble and low-key in our mentality.
In the workplace, everyone craves what others haveRespect and recognition, but excessive ostentation and ostentatious will only arouse othersDisgusted。When we behave too luxuriously or high-profilely, it is easy to attract the envy and exclusion of our colleagues, and even bring unnecessary trouble to ourselves. On the contrary, if we can maintain a humble and low-key profile, we can not only make our colleagues feel comfortable and friendly, but also avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts and conflicts.
I once had a colleague who came from a well-to-do family, but always liked to show off his designer clothes and expensive luxuries in the office. At first, everyone would still envy and compliment her, but over time, colleagues began to alienate her, and even laughed at her vanity and superficiality behind her back. Eventually, she lost the trust and support of her colleagues because she was too show-off, and her career was greatly affected. This example made me realize how important it is to be humble and low-key in the workplace.
And when facing outsiders, we have to appear "rich". This is not to say that we should deliberately flaunt our wealth and status, but rather to present a confident and professional image。In foreign exchanges, our image, words and deeds represent the whole unit and our own professionalism. If we behave too shabbyly or reservedly, it's easy to question our abilities and worth. Therefore, we need to show our self-confidence and strength while remaining humble, so that the outside world can trust and respect us.
I remember one time, I represented my unit at an important industry conference. At the conference, I met a lot of colleagues from different units and regions. Rather than feeling nervous or cramped in the face of these unfamiliar faces, I confidently communicated and shared my experiences and opinions with them. My professional knowledge and professionalism have been recognized and appreciated by the participants, and have also won a good reputation for the unit. This experience made me realize more about how important it is to present a confident and professional image when dealing with outsiders.
Managing our own personality in the workplace requires us to continue to learn and practice. We need to find a balance that suits us according to our personality, abilities and circumstances. While remaining humble and low-key, we present a confident and professional image so that we can be invincible in the workplace.
Now, I am at work and at home, but my uncle's words are still deeply imprinted in my mind. It is not only a workplace wisdom, but also a philosophy of life. Whether in the workplace or in life, we must learn to be humble and confident, so that we can get along better with others and earn the respect and trust of others.
Looking back on my past career, I am filled with emotion. Those experiences and lessons have become the most valuable wealth in my life. I hope that by sharing my uncle's words and my experience, I can give some inspiration and help to young people who are struggling in the workplace. Let us continue to grow and progress in the workplace and write our own wonderful chapter!
