職場上不適用sit down或stand up!一次看懂sit、seat英文用法差在哪

會議開始,Eddy請大家就坐,他說:Sit down. 他以為這是「請坐」,原來這麼說很不禮貌。

那就加一個「請」,會不會變得有禮貌了?"Please sit down.”

這樣說也不禮貌。很多教室裡習以為常的用法,到職場才發現不合用。Stand up/Sit down這幾句話幾乎是教室裡學到的第一句話,但它不是「請坐」,而是「坐下」,語氣有差:

Sit down.
(X)請坐。

30句領導金句

“Leadership”的定義是什麼?優秀的leader需要哪些特質?這三十句談領導力的名言,一定有一句講到你心裡。把它唸到熟得不能再熟,直到不假思索都能說出口,讓它成為你的行動準則

It’s about Others 激勵他人
“People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.”— Michelle Obama(蜜雪兒歐巴馬),前美國第一夫人

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence. 領導力是因為你的存在,使他人變得更好,並確保即使你缺席,這樣的影響仍會持續— Sheryl Sandberg(雪柔桑德柏格),Facebook營運

"As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others."展望下個世紀,領導者將是那些為他人賦能的人。Bill Gates(比爾蓋茲),微軟創辦人、慈善家

“Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not ‘making friends and influencing people,’ that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.” 領導力不是有吸引力的個性,那可能只是油嘴滑舌。它也不是「結交朋友、影響他人」,那叫做奉承。領導力是提升人的視野,提高人的表現水準,打造超越限制的人格。Peter Drucker(彼得杜拉克),管理學之父

“...People become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.” 引導人找到他們自己的力量來源,讓能夠代表組織的員工成為英雄,他們就會變得有動力。—Anita Roddick, 美體小舖共同創辦人

“No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.”
一切都想自己來,或者想要所有功勞的人,不可能成為好的領袖。 —Andrew Carnegie, 鋼鐵大王,美國慈善事業之父

"Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work."  領導力是提供人平台以傳播有效想法的藝術。Seth Godin,創業家,行銷大師

 Vision 願景
 “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”想造一艘船,不要鼓吹人們收集木材,也不要只分配工作任務,而是要教他們嚮往浩瀚無垠的大海。Antoine de Saint-Exupery(聖修伯里),小王子作者

“Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.”好的商業領袖創造願景,清晰地刻畫願景,熱情地擁抱願景,並且不屈不撓地推動,直到完成願景。—Jack Welch(傑克威爾許),前奇異電器CEO

“Some see things as they are and ask why.  Others dream things that never were and ask why not.” 有人看的是現狀,問事情為什麼是這樣,有的人夢想從未發生的事情,問為什麼不是這樣。George Bernard Shaw(蕭伯納),劇作家。

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”  覺得自己做得到,或做不到,你都是對的。Henry Ford(亨利福特),福特汽車創辦人

Action 行動
"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."能生存下來的物種,不是最強壯的,也不是最聰明的,而是最能適應變化的。Charles Darwin(達爾文)

"Nothing works better than just improving your product." 沒有事情勝過改善你的產品。—Joel Spolsky(周思博),知名軟體工程師,作家

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." 我們的重複行為造就了我們。因此,卓越不是一種行為,而是一種習慣。—Aristotle(亞里斯多德)

"None of us is as smart as all of us."  我們之中沒有人比我們所有人聰明。—Ken Blanchard

"Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it…. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine."聘請比你優秀的人,讓他們做他們的事......。尋找追求卓越,不滿足於常規的人。—David Ogilvy(大衛奧格威),奧美廣告創辦人

“You can do anything, but not everything.” 你可以做任何事,但不是每一件事。—David Allen,生產力專家

Communication
"A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong--that's healthy."優秀的經理不會嘗試消除衝突;他嘗試避免浪費同仁的能量。如果你是老闆,當你認為自己錯了時,你的人會公開對抗你 —那是很健康的。—Robert Townsend,前艾維斯租車公司總裁

"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said." 溝通最重要的,是聽見人沒說出口的話。Shannon L. Alder,作家

"There are three ways of dealing with difference: domination, compromise, and integration. By domination only one side gets what it wants; by compromise neither side gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by which both sides may get what they wish."面對歧異有三種方式:統治,妥協,整合。統治,只有一方得償所願;妥協,沒有一方得償所願,整合,才能找到雙方得償所願的方式。Mary Parker Follett,美國首位研究組織心理的學者,被稱為管理學之母

“Remember, feedback is meant to address the problem, not the person.”記住,回饋意見是為了解決問題,不是解決人。―Travis Bradberry, Emotional Intelligence 2.0作者

Character 品格
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." 大多數人都能忍受逆境,如果要測試一個人的品格,就給他權力。—Abraham Lincoln(亞伯拉罕林肯),前美國總統

"You can not dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one."品格是想像不來的;你得捶打鍛造出自己的品格。James A. Froude,英國歷史學家

"Successful leadership is not about being tough or soft, sensitive or assertive, but about a set of attributes. First and foremost is character"成功的領導不是強硬或軟弱,敏感或自信,而是一系列特徵。首先最重要的是品格”—Warren Bennis,組織與領導理論專家,曾任四任美國總統顧問、多家財富500強企業顧問

Failure 面對失敗
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." 我的職業生涯裡,投籃沒命中超過九千次。輸掉近三百場比賽。有二十六次被指望投下獲勝的一球但是錯過。我在生命中一次又一次的失敗。這就是為什麼我能成功。Michael Jordan(麥可喬登)

"Failure is not a one-time event; it's how you deal with life along the way. Until you breathe your last breath, you're still in the process, and there is still time to turn things around for the better." 失敗不會只發生一次;它是你一路面對生活的方式。直到最後一口氣前,都還在進行,也都還有機會扭轉局面。John C. Maxwell,作家,牧師,演說家Innovation 創新

 “If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn’t be called Research.” 如果我們知道自己在做什麼,這就不叫研究了。Albert Einstein

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more wviolent.  It takes a touch of genius- and a lot of courage- to move in the opposite direction.” 任何聰明的傻瓜都能把事情做得更大、更複雜、更劇烈。唯有一點天才、許多勇氣,才能朝反方向前進Albert Einstein(愛因斯坦)

 “There are two possible outcomes- if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.  If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.”兩種可能的結果:如果實驗結果證明了假設,你有了新發現。如果實驗結果與假設相反,你也有了新的發現。Enrico Fermi,物理學

“The difficulty is not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.”掙脫舊想法比開發新想法還困難。—John Maynard Keynes(凱因斯),英國經濟學家
