Phrases That Will Make You More Successful at Work
Avoid the “and/or/but” to demonstrate respect
After pursuing the other person’s viewpoint (узнать точку зрения), it’s better to avoid these words to ensure the coworker or boss has felt thoroughly heard. Instead, replace these debate-oriented words with a pause and a breath, then say, “that’s an interesting idea. It triggered a thought in my head (навело меня на мысль).” Separating your coworker’s suggestion from your own idea demonstrates respect for them.
