There are different people in the "home" of the workplace. They are of different ages, have different cultural backgrounds and career histories. Therefore, generation gap is inevitable in dealing with things. It is not the same in conversation, or you are in conflict with me at work. In this issue, we will pay attention to those "gaps" in the workplace, And ask experts to suggest how to skip these "gaps".

In some traditional enterprises or institutions, there will be more or less "old qualifications". They start early, have a clear understanding of things in the unit, and feel that they shoulder the responsibility of training new people. Sara, who is in her thirties, is an editor of a publishing house. There are many senior editors in the unit who are eager to sell their elders. She needs to mention Sara from time to time. Sara seems to have a very normal way of writing. When she comes to the senior sisters, it becomes "non-standard", which makes Sara feel very pressured. She felt that although she was young, it was not the same as unreliable. The times were developing, and her eyes should be updated, but she would be pulled back by her elder sisters. Sara often jokes with her friends about this: "The 'old traitors' can't afford to hurt!"

Zhao Lijun, a senior psychological consultant, believes that whether working with older colleagues on the stall is a good thing or a bad thing depends more on the inner attitude of new employees and is related to the initial definition of new employees. The psychological meaning reflected by Sara's inner definition of each other as "old traitors" is that she does not agree with or even dislikes them. With this initial attitude, every move of the elder sisters will be considered negative. Different inner feelings will lead to different behaviors and feelings of the other party. Therefore, the results of the interaction between the two parties will be different if they become more and more hostile or gradually integrate.

In fact, older colleagues can not only set certain obstacles for newcomers in their work, but also help newcomers greatly. There is nothing wrong with respect and understanding for "seniors", guidance from the other party, and polite listening. Even if you have your own understanding, you can also listen respectfully. You can not only be familiar with some different practices, but also ease the relationship with older colleagues, so as to achieve the best of both worlds.

The post 70s think that overtime reflects conscientiousness The post-80s think that overtime means inefficiency, while the post-90s say that overtime is not necessary.

In Zhang Ran's sales team, there is a newly graduated college student Xiao Yang. Xiao Xiao is a forward thinking and full of personality post-90s generation. In his opinion, work is to try your best to achieve according to your own ideas, or you would rather not do it. Zhang Ran believes that the most important thing in team cooperation is cooperation, which should be based on the interests of the company. Therefore, Zhang Ran denied Xiao Yang's creativity in many proposals. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yang directly reported to the company's president on his microblog that Zhang Ran was a stubborn and old thinking department leader.

Zhao Lijun believes that the "generation gap" has become a problem because of poor communication. To overcome the obstacles of the generation gap, we must first choose the appropriate way to communicate well. Zhang Ran didn't tell Xiao Yang his views and ideas. He seemed to think that Xiao Yang should have known and understood "teamwork and company interests", which was obviously based on his own preconceptions.

One of the difficulties in communication is that I often think that my reason should be understood by the other party, my starting point should be understood by the other party, and so on. But I don't know how the other party will know and understand if you don't say? secondly, communicate To achieve this goal, it is extremely important to fully listen to the other party. Understanding and listening attentively is the key to communication between different age groups.

Before joining the company, Lin Chen had made various "preventive measures", especially focused on eliminating the generation gap with his colleagues, and did corresponding homework for people of different genders and ages. When he came to work, he always obeyed his older colleagues, even though he thought their views were incorrect. As time passed, colleagues all felt that Lin Chen was a small follower who had no ideas. Lin Chen's direct leader has just become a mother. In order to get closer to her, Xiao Lin often communicates with the leader on the topic of child rearing. The leader thinks that Xiao Lin is married or has a girlfriend, so he is so experienced. When she knew that Xiao Lin was still single, she began to look at Xiao Lin differently, feeling that he was a big man who knew so much about women and children, It's not normal. The opinions of the leaders and colleagues have caused great psychological pressure on Xiao Lin. He never thought that he was bent on filling the "ditch", but fell into it.

Zhao Lijun believes that attributing the differences between the two sides to some external factors, such as age and age differences, forming an intergenerational stereotype, and being lazy to understand and know others. Psychology is called "cognitive stinginess", which is definitely detrimental to eliminating the workplace generation gap. However, if Xiao Lin deliberately eliminates differences without "stinginess", he will make the other party feel abnormal.

Whether it's communication cooperation Or ordinary friendship. In interpersonal communication, everyone's biggest capital does not come from the recognition of the other party, but from maintaining their own proper uniqueness. Only when they have what the other party does not have, can they gain from your interaction with the other party. If you blindly pander to others, you will only lose your interpersonal communication capital and reduce the value of interpersonal communication. In the words of Confucius, the ideal state of interpersonal relationship is that a gentleman is harmonious but different, and the best policy is to eliminate the generation gap in the natural running in.
