Five Ways to Win Over Everyone in the Office

赢得办公室所有人好感的五种方法

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.

你有可能喜欢办公室里的每个人吗？想想看，要聚集15个人，更不用说50个人，让他们都相处融洽是多么困难。但不同于友谊，你需要同事。你每天与他们共事，你依赖他们，正如他们依赖你一样。以下是一些方法，可以让整个办公室都支持你。

If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace, you may try to stay tight-lipped around them. But you will not be helping either one of you. A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were upfront about themselves more highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness. When given the option to offer up details about yourself or hide them away, you should just be honest.

如果你在工作中与某人有嫌隙，你可能会在他们面前保持沉默。但这对你或他们都没有帮助。哈佛商学院的一项研究发现，观察者一致对那些坦诚自己的人评价更高，而那些隐藏信息的人则失去了可信度。当可以选择透露自己的细节或隐藏时，你应该诚实。

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 is a concern about a project, a stray thought, or a compliment. But you need to take time to hear out your coworkers, too. Engage coworkers in a genuine, back-and-forth conversation rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.

与诚实对待自己同样重要的是接受他人。我们常常感到需要告诉别人我们的感受，无论是对项目的担忧、一个随意的想法，还是一个赞美。但你也需要花时间倾听同事。与同事进行真诚的、来回的对话，而不是优先考虑自己的想法。

It is 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 lunch and coffee breaks to meet colleagues you do not always see and learn about their lives and interests beyond the job.

在工作环境中，拥有一个隔间伙伴或特别的知己是常见的。但除了这些信任的同事，你应该拓展视野，了解周围所有的人。利用午餐和咖啡休息时间，结识你并不经常见面的同事，了解他们工作之外的生活和兴趣。

Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear. You do not 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 do not overdo it or be fake about it.

积极的反馈对任何人来说都很重要。你不必是某人的上司才能告诉他们，他们在某个特定项目上做得非常出色。这有助于在他人中产生善意。但不要过度或虚假。

Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction. Some people like small talk before important matters, while others are more straightforward. Jokes that work on one person will not necessarily land with another. Adapt your style accordingly to type.

在与任何同事打交道时，记住他们从互动中欣赏什么。有些人喜欢在重要事情前闲聊，而另一些人更直接。对一个人有效的笑话不一定对另一个人有效。相应地调整你的风格以适应不同类型。
