Walking the rivers and lakes, one more friend and one more road. Especially in the workplace, a place full of interest exchanges, if you can improve the relationship a little better, then the road ahead will undoubtedly be much easier. So how can we strive for "noble people to help" as much as possible? "Business blowing" is definitely an essential and important skill to enhance relationships and ultimately close cooperation by complimenting others effectively. So how to operate, in order to win the "full house" with only the "three-inch incorruptible tongue"? The author believes that the following three points are the breakthrough point.
1. Praise strength
Any boss or leader undoubtedly wants to be perceived as powerful. Therefore, in the workplace, praise for their strength is a very effective way to "blow to each other". By praising their business scale, brand reputation and industry status, they can increase each other's pride, stimulate each other's dedication, and promote the follow-up cooperation between the two parties.
In the process of "praising strength", there are the following three points that we need to pay special attention to. First, prepare your "homework" in advance. Before complimenting, have an in-depth understanding of the nature of the other party's work and historical achievements, and avoid "putting on a crown and wearing a crown"; Second, the praise process is sincere, the words are accurate, and the credibility is increased. Third, we should understand "strategic" praise, and the content of praise should pave the way for future cooperation and set the tone for future negotiations.
2. Praise the act
In the workplace, no matter how high or low the position is, everyone does not want to be "marginalized" and reduced to a "transparent person". Behavior is a direct response to the mental activity of the other person. Complimenting the other person's behavior shows that we have been paying attention to the other person, and the other person occupies an important place in our hearts. When we compliment the other person on specific actions such as good manners and elegant conversation, the other person is likely to think that we are their "confidant" and treat them differently. At the same time, "praise behavior" is also an important psychological tactic, so that the other party knows that we pay attention to their "every move", so that they will not make "discounted" behavior.
So what should you pay attention to when using this trick? First, we should pay attention to the detailed analysis. By observing some casual actions, it is speculated that there are often deep motivations and psychological states hidden behind these behaviors. Second, selective praise. It is important to know which actions are worthy of praise and which are to be concealed for others.
3. Praise the people around you
If there are too many people present, and it seems too flattering to praise the other person directly, then we can praise the people around the other person more. This indirect way of praise can also achieve the strategic effect of "business blowing each other". For example, when we communicate with the leader of a collaborator, we can appropriately praise his team members or partners. We can say, "That colleague on your team is really good, and it looks like your company is really an 'all-star lineup'!" ”
This kind of praise can not only make the other person happy, but also make him feel more good about the people around him, so as to win more "potential allies" for us, and maybe it can play an important role in the future cooperation.
All in all, "business blowing" is an important social skill in the workplace. Smart people must train this skill diligently to achieve the effect of "retracting freely and leaving no trace". In practical work, we should "adapt measures to local conditions and vary from person to person", and flexibly use these "business blowing" techniques according to different occasions and objects.
