At the wine table or other workplace social situations, special attention needs to be paid to the appropriate and appropriate language of the leader. Here are five things that are generally recommended to avoid to your leader:
1.Blame and complain: Don't directly point out the mistakes of the leader or the company, such as criticizing the leader's decision-making mistakes, complaining about the company's unreasonable policies, etc., which will not only make the leader feel shameless, but also may cause unnecessary conflicts.
2.Privacy & Gossip: Topics involving the personal privacy of leaders, including family situations, health issues, private lives, etc., are taboo and can be revealed or talked about to undermine trusting relationships.
3.Questioning the authority of a leader: Publicly questioning a leader's ability, experience, or authority, such as belittling a leader's expertise or expressing doubts about his or her past achievements, can easily cause resentment and damage one's professional image.
4.Overly flattering words: Excessive flattery and compliments may make the leader feel that you are not sincere enough, and it is easy to bring negative comments to the leader after spreading it in the team, such as the killing effect.
5.Drunken gaffes: Saying things that you usually dare not say, such as dissatisfaction with the company or leaders, exposing internal contradictions, etc., this kind of "telling the truth" often causes irreparable consequences.
In addition, there are some things to pay attention to in specific scenarios:
Don't say things that embarrass or lose face to your leader.
Don't interrupt your leader's speech or correct his or her point of view.
Don't mention scandalous or unfavorable information at work, lest your boss mistakenly think that you are spreading negative energy or being disengaged.
In general, in any situation, you should be respectful, rational and constructive in your interactions with your leaders, and try to choose words that promote understanding and cooperation.
