Work

   active consciousness


An American boss said: "Although Chinese employees are very smart, they lack initiative and always wait passively for you to arrange work. This may be the custom of Chinese people. Americans are different. You are a member of the company, and you have the right to speak and express your opinions. I first raise questions at meetings, and then talk about my personal views. When I asked if they had any suggestions, they didn't speak, so I called them by name. Interestingly, they pointed to their noses and asked me, 'Are you calling me? I have no opinion. ' I don't think it's a good thing. Everyone has ideas, how can there be no opinions? This shows that they don't care about this matter at all. It is an excellent company to regard the company as its own Employee quality 。”


Therefore, when facing an American superior, you are not necessarily obedient to everything. If you have better ideas and opinions than the superior, you can be the "superior" of the other party, and the other party will admire you; But you should know that the other party has a temper of refusing to admit defeat. If your opinion is that the other party has already considered it, it will be worthless if it cannot stand scrutiny. So when working in an American company, you should have your own ideas. When facing a problem, you should first think about what you would do if you let yourself handle it?


Competitive awareness:


Americans love to watch advertisements. Because the products in the advertisements are all big brands, so watching advertisements is also a way to get the latest information, which is also the standard to compete with others. Americans are very persistent and unwilling to give up easily. Americans also have the character of refusing to lose. These characteristics are due to the unique cultural background of the United States. Some people may say that Americans have a good family background, a solid foundation, money and power. In fact, there is only one God. As long as you have the ability and ability, you are likely to run for the next President. Although Americans talk with a new friend they have not met very long, they like to ask each other where HOMETOWN is. But the meaning of this question about hometown is different from that of our hometown to a large extent. Because the United States is a country of immigrants, and their ancestors come from different parts of the world, the meaning of Americans' understanding of home is broader and more profound than that of Chinese people's concept of home guard. In the eyes of Americans, everyone comes from different HOMETOWN, the starting line is the same, and the competition is equal.


Americans do not like to talk about their family background. There is no such situation for Americans that they feel ashamed because of their poor family background and lack of corresponding positions in the society. They also don't care about the family property left by their elders. They don't feel proud to live on the legacy left by the previous generation. They have the habit of independence since childhood. Although many people believe in God, few people believe in "destiny". Americans also like to compare with others. If you have a car, then I will find a way to own two. Even if there is only one, then the brand will be better than yours. Competition is also the driving force of competition. The company also often provides all employees with a stage for fair competition. In the United States, from top to bottom, everyone is equal on the stage of competition.


   business consciousness


Americans are very practical. If you work hard, you should be paid accordingly. All these can be discussed clearly before the two sides start to cooperate, and it is better to agree or disagree. If the boss asks you to work overtime, you can clearly explain your conditions for working overtime in front of the boss. The Ministry of Affairs is so simple. And this practice will be praised by the American boss. Because this behavior has a strong sense of business, ranging from individuals to companies. When working out work plans and putting forward relevant plans, we must pay attention to whether these plans can create wealth for the company after defeating competitors. This is very important. Although Americans attach great importance to investment, the return after investment is expected.


Collective consciousness


In addition to the relevant issues mentioned above, there should also be collective awareness and team spirit. An American boss said humorously: "If our company is a ship, then you will be on our ship when you enter the company. You can rest assured that we will give you what other companies can give you, and we will give you more and more beautiful than other companies. However, since we are on our ship, we must be physically and mentally united, not half hearted. Even if our ship is heading for a desolate and uninhabited island, you must follow us to take an adventure. "


   In addition, energetic, cheerful and unrestrained at work; Talk with others and always call "our company". These characteristics are the best lubricants to get along with Americans.
