如何与您的团队抗争

（图片）
Gallup 2013 年的一项研究发现，70%的员工没有参与工作。这就把离职问题提到了雇主“要解决”的首要问题。
但是如何解决这个问题呢？实际上，有一个低成本且高效的解决方案——透明度。
1.     自上而下优先考虑透明度。
使公司的价值观、决策和挑战在整个公司内清晰可见。对需要什么和应该避免什么持开放态度。寻求并分享对您的经理及其直接下属绩效的反馈。就团队各个级别的优势和劣势进行公开交流，将确保每个人都尽其所能。
2.     使用不同的策略来吸引不同类型的员工。
重要的是要确保您的员工以他们能够欣赏和参与的方式接收信息。没有两个人是一样的，你的队友也是如此：有些人使用电子邮件，有些人更喜欢面对面的会议，有些人却不介意通过报告进行。这对您来说是一小步，但对您的团队来说是透明度的重大变化。
3. 流言蜚语在办公室传播之前停止它。
文化越清晰、越开放，流言蜚语的理由就越少。如果人们知道发生了什么，那就变得毫无意义。确保你的经理有一个“门户开放”的政策，允许员工直接从源头过来提问。

THINGS THAT WE OFTEN GET WRONG ABOUT LEADERS

withanidea

With millions of books and articles written on leadership, courses offered and

movies filmed, we have come to think of a LEADER as of some sort of superhuman,

who is always right, who inspires people all around and is often simply born that

way.

A recent piece on Entrepreneur.com looks deeper into the course of this idea and

helps to “humanize” a leader.

1. Leaders are not born
Contrary to popular belief, even if you are born with a predisposition to lead, you
will still need to work hard to get the skillset required for a good leader.
A young person who is 6’6″ might have the predisposition to play basketball, but he
or she still needs to learn the skills before they can play successfully.

2. Leaders do not always know the right answers
But they can and do know hot to ask the right questions and where to go for the
best answers. The idea of a confident know-it-all has little to do with real life
leadership.

3. Leaders are not ambitious
At least not in the popular sense of the word. If what you do benefits only one
person – you – this is not leadership. True leaders aim to create “the greater good”,
which will benefit many around them and perhaps even for generations to come.
Stay tuned for part two. And in the meantime, we are happy to hear about your take
on leadership. Just leave a comment here or on our Facebook.

HOW TO PUMP UP YOUR ADVERTISING LANGUAGE

thumbsup

Think about the ads that caught your eye recently. Why did you notice them?

Most of us would say: well, because they were different. And yet when it comes to

our own business ads, we often prefer to play it safe.

So what makes your ad language stick?

1. Don’t get too technical (avoid specific terms or professional lingo, that your

customers will probably not understand)

2. But show that you now what you are talking about (give a few helpful tips or

recommendations that your customers will appreciate)

3. Be a rebel when it comes to language (don’t be afraid to break the rules,

when your message may benefit it. Sometimes, defying grammar and spelling

can bring about the most memorable slogans)

4. Brand your language (create a distinctive style and vocabulary for your

products, inviting customers into your own world. Your ads will stand out

AND empower your brand with your one-of-a-kind writing).

如何提升你的语言吸引力

想想最近引起您注意的广告，你为什么注意到他们？
我们大多数人会说：好吧，因为它们是不同的。然而当谈到
我们自己的商业广告，我们通常更愿意谨慎行事。
那么，是什么让你的广告语言如此吸引人呢？
1. 不要太技术化（避免使用特定的术语或专业术语，因为你的
客户可能不会理解）
2. 但现在就表明你在说什么（提供一些有用的提示或
您的客户会欣赏的建议）
3. 在语言方面做一个叛逆者（不要害怕违反规则，
当您的信息可能对其有益时。有时，无视语法和拼写
能带来最难忘的口号）
4. 给你的语言打上烙印（为您的语言创造独特的风格和词汇）
产品，邀请客户进入您自己的世界。您的广告将脱颖而出
并用您独一无二的文字为您的品牌赋能）。
