How popular are people with strong social skills in the workplace?

In the workplace, have you ever envied this kind of people: they can maintain confidence and enthusiasm in various occasions, have a sense of C-position presence all the time, and can immediately warm up when meeting anyone. They are also migrant workers with comparable working abilities. Why can such people shine in the workplace while you are unknown and transparent? In the final analysis, it is because they have strong social skills.

Embarrassing work group, some people always mix like fish in water

I admire my colleagues who can mix well with hundreds of people in the company. People with social barriers like me really don't know what to say except to reply "yes" and "received" in the group. But colleague A can always find a social transportation way in a serious and boring atmosphere - "Brother XX, you have done a good job in this project. Next time, please ask" Sister XX, how to realize this function, teach me ". This kind of greasy way of dealing with people with" social phobia "has a good effect. At least in the eyes of many people, colleague A is a bully in the work group.

Evaluation: I have to say that social ability is also an important workplace skill. It is always right to be sweet when communicating with other departments or docking work. If it were you, wouldn't you like to approach a colleague with high EQ who makes you happy?

Who stipulates that new people should be honest?

For those of us who knock code, a new colleague is like creating a new document. As long as the document is not related to me, we will not leave our footprints on the document. However, this new colleague came here recently, not like Ma Nong at all, but rather like a salesperson. On the first day of his arrival, he invited everyone in our group to have coffee. Three days later, he and the leader slapped each other on the shoulder. On the weekend, he has made an appointment with several colleagues to play play badminton together. The most amazing thing is that the little girl in the HR department has a good relationship with him, and often gives him some snacks when things pass by. When asked, he left a good impression on the HR department at the interview, and also by chance introduced the source of the employee's specials for the HR department. Just sitting and typing the code, really wronged him!

Evaluation: Who stipulates that the farmer should be honest and honest, so he can't be a social expert? Those who have skills and excellent social skills are real talents. He can clap his shoulder with the leader, which means that the leader who recruited him recognizes his work experience; He can join the badminton game together, which shows that he attaches importance to physical health; He invited everyone to have coffee, which means that as a newcomer, he released a friendly signal and hoped to integrate into the team as soon as possible; As for his ability to bring some resources to the HR department, it is really his ability. The last sentence sounds like "lemon". Such talents will not sit and knock on the code forever, but will go to the management sooner or later.

The customer directly gave her a job-hopping opportunity

I have to say that she knows almost every customer's preferences. As long as it is the customer she has visited, she is familiar with the grade of the child and the number of cats and dogs in the family very few times. Sometimes the customer will invite her to dinner in turn. We have a customer who is particularly picky, smiling on the surface, but has a lot of requirements. The work of receiving this customer is very long, and the confirmation process is very many. Everyone doesn't want to receive the call from this customer. Unexpectedly, she picked up the phone and chatted with the customer for an hour. At the beginning, she said something like "Hmm, OK, we will pay attention to it". Later, I saw her relax and giggle. When she was in the mood, she would slap the table and laugh. Sure enough, this customer was soon settled by her. We asked about the secret. She said that the customer likes to watch musicals and chat with the customer about their favorite musical actors, and then fell in love. Before long, she said goodbye to us and said she would change jobs. After she left, we learned that the customer felt that she had been a stoop in our company and introduced her to a good job hopping opportunity.

Evaluation: What is the most powerful skill in the workplace? Make money, of course! If you don't believe it, go and study the major companies. The department that makes money is always the most favored and core department of the boss. Be able to get familiar with customers quickly and find out their preferences, which will win the first line. The most important thing is that she not only won resources for the company, but also won contacts for herself.

It is an ability to have a good relationship with leaders

Our department has a veteran. In the eyes of the leaders, he is a good subordinate who works actively, has ideas, observes carefully and works well. But he is not such a person at all. He often paddles at work and likes to work in front of the leaders. Overtime work must be done in the circle of friends, pay attention to the words and deeds of the leaders during the meeting, be obedient to the leaders, and choose the restaurants that meet the tastes of the leaders every time. Let's put it this way. As long as he is there, regardless of what the leader says, he can not only catch it but also boast along the pole. Because he has a good relationship with the leader, he knows many things ahead of us, and good things always come to him. I really can't understand why some people can be loved by leaders when they use their lips?

Evaluation: In your opinion, this colleague will only "kiss the apple". Is it true? His courage to show his work to the leaders shows that he has this ability. Proper performance in the workplace is necessary. Besides, the advantages of a good relationship with leaders outweigh the disadvantages. Why not? He understands the preferences of leaders, and knows everything at all. Leaders make him work with ease and effort, so he will naturally value him. In the workplace, it is an ability to have a good relationship with leaders, and it is also an individual advantage.
