巧遇智慧英文—我的前程近在咫尺(常速) 不喜歡，就“幫”你失敗

[00:03]Do Not Like You, Then Help You Fail [00:08]Most people who fail for lack of social skills talk of “office politics” doing them in, [00:15]but the politics may be nothing more than normal interactions among people. [00:20]If you have trouble with “office politics,” [00:24]you may really be having trouble dealing with people. [00:27]You may get along on brilliance alone for a while, [00:30]but most careers involve other people. [00:33]You can have great academic intelligence and still lack social intelligence— [00:38]the ability to be a good listener, [00:41]to be sensitive toward others, to give and take criticism well. [00:45]People with high social intelligence admit their mistakes, [00:49]take their share of blame and move on. [00:53]They know how to build team support. [00:56]If people don’t like you, they may help you fail. [01:00]One day at an airport, a traveler observed a well-dressed businessman [01:04]yelling at a porter about the porter’s handling of his luggage. [01:08]The more abusive the businessman became, the calmer the porter seemed. [01:13]After the businessman left, the traveler complimented the porter on his restraint. [01:18]“Oh, that’s nothing,” he said, smiling. [01:20]“You know, that man’s going to Miami, but his bags—they’re going to Kalamazoo.” [01:26]Coworkers—even subordinates—if poorly treated, can do you in. [01:29]On the other hand, you can get away with serious mistakes if you are socially intelligent. [01:36]This is why many mediocre executives survive violent corporate upheavals. [01:41]Sensitive in their dealings with others, they are well liked; [01:45]when they make mistakes, their supporters usually help them recover. [01:50]A mistake may actually further their careers [01:53]if the boss thinks they handled the situation in a mature and responsible way. [01:58]People with poor interpersonal skills have trouble taking criticism. [02:03]When confronted with a mistake, they let their ego and emotions get in the way. [02:09]They may deny responsibility and became moody, volatile or angry. [02:14]They mark themselves as “prickly” and “temperamental”. [02:19]Social intelligence is an acquired skill. [02:23]The more you practice, the better you get. [02:25]Like good manners, it can be learned.
