   The Most Valuable Employees: Tame Tensions


  最宝贵的员工:缓解紧张的高手
  4 Workplace Peacekeepers Who Get Attention
  引起上司注意的4中职场调解员
  Furloughs, layoffs 1, burdened bosses, and stressed coworkers: Tension can stifleyour office and kill productivity. But if you can defusethat tension, you may also be making yourself a valuable employee, even if you're not the manager.
  休假、裁员、承受超负荷的老板、处于高压中的同事:紧张会使你的办公室生活窒息,扼杀你的产能。但是如果你能够消除这份紧张,即使你不是经理,你也可以成为一名有价值的员工。
  "Being the office tension manager can be a wonderful reputation to have," says corporate 2 trainer Marlene Caroselli. "Every time you resolve a conflict you really enhance your own skills."
  企业培训家Marlene Caroselli说:“成为办公室的解压经理会为你应得不错的名声,每当你解决了一次冲突,你就确确实实的提高了自己的能力。”
  Consider these four types of tension tamers:
  参考以下四种紧缓解紧张的高手:
  The Charmer
  有魅力的人
  "They know the exact moment to insert humor that breaks the tension at work," says Kathi Elster, coauthorof "Working With You Is Killing 3 Me."
  "Working With You Is Killing Me."一书的作者Kathi Elster说:“他们能够把握最佳时机插入幽默来打破工作上的紧张。”
  The charmer doesn't crack one-liners or riff on the boss's toupee 4, though. Instead, she:
  虽然有魅力的人不会说一些俏皮话或是拿老板的假发开刷,但是她会:
  1) Focuses on policies, not people. "It could be a lot of fun to make fun of a mean boss, but it doesn't cut tension because it has a dark edge and it could get you into trouble," said Elster's coauthor Katherine Crowley.
  将调侃重点放在政策上,而不是针对人。Elster的合著者Katherine Crowley说:“虽然拿吝啬的上司开玩笑会有很多乐趣,但并不会消除大家的紧张感,因为这是一个黑色地带,还有可能会给你带来麻烦。”
  2) Tests the office humor quotient. "We work with a high-tech 5 company where all the staff have piercings and tattoos," said Crowley. "Their tension-cutting jokes are going to be very different than the jokes at a bank."
  测试办公室幽默情商。Crowley说:“我们在一家高科技公司工作,里面所有的员工都有刺青。他们缓解紧张时说的笑话肯定和银行的大大不同。”
  3) Renames it. Reframe furloughs as "funloughs" and say it lightly, with confidence that everything will work out.
  重新命名。将 “furloughs”重新命名为“funloughs”,并用轻松地,相信一切都将搞定的语气说出来。
  The Big Thinker
  深谋远虑者
  "Very few things are life-or-death, unless you're working in an emergency room," says Crowley.
  Crowley说:“除非你是在急诊室工作,否则没多少事情是生命攸关的。”
  The big thinker puts workplace tension in perspective, cutting it by reminding people that what's happening now is temporary -- even if it is the recession.
  深谋远虑者会正确透视职场上的紧张,通过提醒同事现在发生的事情只是临时的(即使是经济不景气也是一样的)来消除大家的紧张。
