好的領導懂得通過激發(fā)員工的積極性和潛力來創(chuàng)造更多業(yè)績,積極全面的鼓勵能夠制造團結輕松的氣氛。員工在被肯定的同時,會將主觀能動性更加充分地發(fā)揮出來。
表達感謝和欣賞
真誠(genuinely)感謝員工的辛勤勞動。一句簡單的“謝謝”影響深遠。對于員工的成就,無論大小都應該公開贊揚。一旦員工認識到他們的工作有價值(value),就會更加努力地工作。
⊙You're doing a great job!Keep up the good work!
你的工作很出色,繼續(xù)好好干!
⊙Friday is doughnut day!
周五供應甜甜圈!

感謝你為公司做出的貢獻。
⊙I'd like to express my appreciation for everyone's hard work this week.
Today I'm letting you off half an hour earlier!
我對大家在這個星期里的辛勤工作表示感激。今天我想讓各位提前半小時下班。
⊙If we keep going at the rate we're going now, we'll double our profits.
如果我們保持現在的進度,我們就能實現盈利翻番。
⊙I think you all deserve a break.
我覺得大家都該好好休息一下了。
⊙Thanks for everyone's hard work on this one!
感謝各位對此付出的辛勤工作。
⊙We couldn't have done it without you.

⊙I'd like to personally thank Allen and Darcia for coming up with such a great idea.

⊙Great job on the Kline account.You're really to be congratulated!
Kline的賬目工作干得非常漂亮。值得慶賀!
良好的溝通
老板要經常把想法和策略(vision and strategy)與員工探討分享。事實證明,充分掌握情況的(well informed)員工總是比對情況一無所知的(left in the dark)員工表現出色。來自員工的建議和意見,領導應當傾聽。不是每個問題都可以找到答案,員工在意的是老板對他們的意見關注與否。
⊙I want to let you in on a little company secret……
我想讓你們了解一些企業(yè)內幕……
⊙My vision for your department is……
我對你們部門的認識是……
⊙Do you have any suggestions on how to make this better?
對于如何改善,你有什么想法嗎?
⊙Please let me know if you have any concerns to share.
如果有什么擔憂的地方,請盡管告訴我。
⊙Please feel free to talk anytime.My door is always open.
有需要請隨時告知。我的門永遠為你敞開。
同舟共濟
讓員工感覺到他們是公司整個組織的一部分(a part of),聽取他們的意見(take their input)并讓他們參與制定決策,這樣他們會更有歸屬感(A sense of belonging)。
⊙I really appreciate all your suggestions on how to improve our project.
You'll see we've been able to implement many of your ideas and make a great improvement on the original plans. I want you to know that this is your project, and the success that we have belongs to all of us.
真的非常感謝各位對于改善項目所提的建議。正如大家所看到的,我們已經實施了你們的想法并取得很大進步。我想告訴大家,這是大家的項目,成績屬于我們每一個人。
⊙I've got to be honest with you.We haven't had as much success this quarter as we were hoping for. The situation is pretty bleak.But I know I can count on everyone to pull together on this.Together we can overcome whatever it is we face.
我得對大家說實話,本季度沒有取得我們期望的那么好的成績。情況不容樂觀。我知道我能仰仗各位共同努力。無論面臨什么樣的困難,我們齊心協力就一定能克服。
給改過的機會
錯誤總是難免的(mistakes do happen)。除非是一些無法彌補的過失或者有意而為的錯誤,一般情況下都應當給員工一個改過的機會(a chance to fix the problem)。寬容能讓員工把感激轉化為工作熱情。
⊙Well, make sure it doesn't happen again.Try to be more prepared next time.Take a back-up of the presentation.Everyone can have a bad day, but you've got to try to mitigate the damage.
下不為例。下回準備更充分些。做好講解的備份。每個人都有運氣不好的時候,但你要盡力減輕損失。
總結
試想如果是你,你愿意終日在老板的聲色俱厲下戰(zhàn)戰(zhàn)兢兢地工作嗎?恐怕人人都愿意在領導的鼓勵和贊揚中,在上下級的坦誠交流中,將個人的主觀能動性發(fā)揮到極致吧。
