5、ntotroubleifyouarenotcareful.節(jié)然而事實(shí)上這種追隨弊大于利。例如，職場時(shí)裝潮流往往不區(qū)分工作和職業(yè)。在一家新潮的咖啡館或零售店工作，著裝要求很可能是休閑服。而在一家法律或保險(xiǎn)公司上班，著裝則需要更職業(yè)化。不幸的是，很多職場新潮時(shí)裝是為工作中的一般大眾而設(shè)計(jì)，而非為特定職業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)。因此一不小心就可能出問題。邕Beforerelyingonworkplacefashiontrends,youwillwanttotakeagood,closelookatthetrendinquestion.Forinstance,doesthetrendrequirethewearingo

7、仔細(xì)審視一下所謂的潮流。比如，潮流是不是時(shí)興半身裙或連衣裙，而不論其長短呢？如果確實(shí)如此，那么最重要的是要考慮自己的工作性質(zhì)。如果是辦公室的職業(yè)白領(lǐng)，連衣裙就非常適合。但如果是在零售店當(dāng)經(jīng)理，連衣裙或半身裙則可能會(huì)妨礙工作，影響工作效率。薄Bywearingtrendyworkplacefashionpieces,manypeoplearegivencompliments,butnotalways.Thelastthingthatyouwanttodoisgetabadnameforyourselfinsteadofcompliments.Thatiswhyitisalsoadvisedtha

17、參與度不高，對要解決的問題有好想法卻不說。現(xiàn)在，我采取更積極的態(tài)度，希望會(huì)議能更有效。我遵循以下三個(gè)簡單的原則。第一，無論誰召集會(huì)議，都必須明確目的。這意味著說明會(huì)議的切實(shí)目標(biāo)并將任務(wù)布置下去。第二，每個(gè)人都要仔細(xì)考慮會(huì)議成本：到底需要幾人參加？要開多久？最后，會(huì)議結(jié)束后，要給會(huì)議負(fù)責(zé)人評評分。如果誰有開會(huì)效率低的記錄，那么下次他就不能再擔(dān)任召集人。奠Iknowthatmeetingsmayserveotherfunctions.Sometimes,theycancommunicateasolution,makesurethattherearenofatalflawsinitandgiveth
