Five Ways to Win Over Everyone in the Office
Is it possible to like everyone in your office? Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people, much less 50, who all get along perfectly. But unlike in friendships, you need coworkers. You work with them every day and you depend on them just as they depend on you. Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side
(1)____
If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace, you may try stay tight-lipped around them. But you won’t be helping either one of you. A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness. The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book, but rather, when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them, you should just be honest.
(2)_____
Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others. We often feel the need to tell others how we feel, whether it’s a concern about a project, a stray thought, or a compliment. Those are all valid, but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers, too. In fact, rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don’t value their opinions. Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine, back- and-forth conversation, rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.
(3)_____
It’s common to have a “cubicle mate” or special confidant in a work setting. But in addition to those trusted coworkers, you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you. Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don’t always see. Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job. It requires minimal effort and goes a long way. This will help to grow your internal network, in addition to being a nice break in the work day.
(4)_____
Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear. And you don’t have to be someone’s boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project. This will help engender good will in others. But don’t overdo it or be fake about it. One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive, possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.
(5)______
This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off, but it can go a long way to achieving results. Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction. Watch out for how they verbalize with others. Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters, while other are more straightforward. Jokes that work one person won’t necessarily land with another. So, adapt your style accordingly to type. Consider the person that you’re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.

详细解析:

【解题思路】根据原文第三段“哈佛商学院的一项研究发现,观察者一致对那些对自己坦诚(frank)的人评分更高(highly),而对那些有所隐瞒(hid)的人则失去信任(lost trustworthiness)”,可知作者认为要真实,不要隐藏信息。故本题正确答案为E“揭示信息,而不是隐藏信息”。

【解题思路】根据原文第五段“实际上,急于(rushing)把自己的想法说出来会让同事觉得你不重视(don’t value)他们的意见”,因此作者的观点就是要不急着陈述自己观点,而要听取别人的观点。故本题正确答案为F“不要着急,倾听”。

【解题思路】根据原文第七段“除了那些值得信任的同事,还应该扩大圈子(expand your horizons),了解所有身边的人(people around you)”,因此就是要和身边的所有人相处。故本题正确答案为D“花时间和每个人在一起”。

【解题思路】根据原文第九段“但是也不要做得太过或者假装。一项研究发现,人们对从消极到积极的(negative to positive)评论反应最好,可能是因为这表明他们赢得了某人的支持”,作者认为要称赞,但是也不宜过多。故本题正确答案为A“赞美别人,但不要太多”。

【解题思路】根据最后一段最后一句“所以,根据你的类型来调整你的风格(adapt your style accordingly to type)”,可知作者认为要因人而异。故本题正确答案为C“定制你的交流”。
