当老板真好!
It has been a very interesting experience to understand, enjoy and learn how the Chinese employees treat, respect and see their bosses. To me personally it has been quite an interesting experience. I am going to do my best to explain this article.
中国员工眼中的老板是怎样的,他们如何对待、尊敬自己的老板,去发现、了解这些现象是一个非常有趣的体验,我个人也挺享受这些经历。我将尽我所能用这篇文章一一道来。
These are the things that I hear quite often at work that are related to “BOSS”:
以下是我经常在工作中听到关于“老板”的事情:
1.Any time anyone asks a lady who is the most handsome guy in the office the answer is always the same: The most handsome guy is: The Boss (Even if he is not!, but maybe in very rare cases he really might be. But according to all the ladies he is, period!
任何时候、任何人问办公室的女士,你们公司谁最帅?答案总是出奇的一致:老板!(尽管不是他最帅,当然也有可能是他最帅,但是这种情况很少。根据所有女士的说法,就是他了,仅此一位!)
2.Another thing that I hear quite often is: Boss is always, yes always, right! Anything that the boss says is correct in any topic of discussion. There is no possibility that the boss can be wrong.
另一个我听到最多的是:老板永远是对的!无论讨论任何话题,老板说的永远正确,老板不可能有错。
3.Third one: This one I see it and experience it everywhere: Once the Boss expresses his opinion, choice or idea then suddenly that becomes the “Best and Only” choice. Everybody is afraid of expressing their opinion before the Boss does. But once the Boss makes the se1ection then suddenly ALL people agree. I honestly disagree with this style of management that has been probably practiced everywhere and for many years if not centuries. I am not trying to complain or be negative about this (Actually is good in many ways at times and that is why is Good to be the Boss here). One day we had a meeting in our conference room and we were trying to se1ect from 10 or 15 renders the top 3. We were like 10 people in the room, me the sales manager and other design and marketing employees that report to him. I told the employees to vote one by one on their choices. I asked the first person and it took me like 10 min to get his answer. I kind of knew what his choices were but was afraid to vote but at the end he did. Then
I asked the next two persons and kind of got the same issues: afraid, it to time but I got their answers. Then suddenly the sales manager said what his choices were. I told him not to do it until the end before my choices, nevertheless he did. And you probably already guessed what happened next: Every single employee of the next 7 or 8 gave the exact same choices than the sales manager. Boss like, we all like! I love this! The same happened again when I gave the opportunity to the showroom sales ladies to se1ect the new uniforms. They were in disbelief that I gave them the chance to se1ect the clothes, and later gave me their choices. Then they asked me: Which ones do you like? I gave them my choice and guess what? They changed theirs! Unbelievable! Again one lady said: Boss like, we all like. I started laughing, trust me it is kind of funny to me. At the end we bought what they liked and gave them a lesson. I think they know what works better for them than I do.
第三,这是我的亲身经历:一旦老板表达了他的观点和选择,就突然变成了“最佳和唯一”的选择。每个人都害怕在老板表达意见前表达自己的意见。但是,一旦老板进行选择后,所有人会突然同意。老实说,我不太认同这种管理风格,哪怕它在世界各地流行了好多年甚至几个世纪。我并非埋怨或者只看到负面的方面(实际上在很多方面是好的,这就是当老板的好处)。一天我们在会议室开会,努力从10到15个空间方案中挑选最好的3个。房间里大概有10个人,我、销售经理、设计师以及一些负责市场推广的员工。我让大家一个接一个投票。我问第一位员工,大概10分钟他才给到我答案。我大概知道他的选择,他只是害怕投票,但是最后他还是做到了。我再问另外两位员工,一样的害怕,但最终还是得到了他们的答案。接着销售经理突然说出了他的选择。我曾提醒他在大家说出选择前,先不要讲自己的答案。但是他还是说了。你应该能猜到接下来的事情了,下面的7、8个员工做出了和销售经理一样的选择。“老板喜欢,我们都喜欢。”这样的情况同样发生在我帮展厅导购选择制服上。她们不相信我真的让她们自己选择衣服,她们告诉我答案后又问我,你最喜欢哪一个?我说了我的选择。然后你猜怎样?难以置信,她们再一次说:“老板喜欢,我们也喜欢”。我开始大笑,相信我,这真的很有趣。最后我买了她们喜欢的款式,同时也给她们上了一课。我认为她们会比我更清楚,什么更适合她们。
OTHER THINGS THAT I ALWAYS HEAR, SEE OR THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IN CHINA:
还有一些我在中国经常听到、看到,也发生过在我身上的事情:
4.Boss always drive nice and expensive car
老板开的车通常都又贵又炫。
5.Boss always live in a Big House
老板通常都拥有大房子。
6.Boss can take holiday anytime, no problem!
老板可以随时放假。
7.Boss can leave early or arrive late: No Problem!
老板可以迟到早退。
8.Boss must stay in 5 star hotel all the time and on a bigger and nicer room
老板通常住五星级酒店以及非常大的高级房间。
Anyway just to end this article one more story: One time I was having with three other friends a foot massage. One was from Mexico and The two other from China. The lady that was giving me the massage kept looking at me and said: “You are Boss” and I asked her: How do you know? She said: Because you have “big belly”, stomach or whatever and I started laughing and asked her: Why do you relate Boss with big belly? She said Boss don’t do hard manual work, don’t do exercise, live good life and eat well and create big belly. I laughed once more.
以一个小故事结束这篇文章:有一次我和3位朋友去沐足,一位是来自墨西哥,另外两位来自中国。一个女服务员帮我按摩,并看着我说:你是老板。我问她,你怎么知道?她说,因为你有一个“大肚腩”。我觉得很好笑并问她:为什么大肚腩就能和老板联系起来?她说,老板不用做繁重的工作,不做运动,衣食无忧,因此有一个大肚腩。我再一次哈哈大笑。
This is the way China see their Bosses? What do you think?
这就是中国识别老板的方式吗?你认为呢?
In many ways I see the good side of this and enjoy it and that is why is good to be the Boss in China!
我往往看到好的一面,并享受它们。这就是为什么在中国当老板真好的原因。
