7、一下所谓的潮流。比如，潮流是不是时兴半身裙或连衣裙，而不论其长短呢？如果确实如此，那么最重要的是要考虑自-完整学习资料分享-WORD#式-可编辑-己的工作性质。如果是办公室的职业白领，连衣裙就非常适合。但如果是在零售店当经理，连衣裙或半身裙则可能会妨碍工作，影响工作效率。Bywearingtrendyworkplacefashionpieces,manypeoplearegivencompliments,butnotalways.Thelastthingthatyouwanttodoisgetabadnameforyourselfinsteadofcompliments.Thatiswhyit

12、些建议的合适人选。我也没说啥有用的。最后，召集会议的女同事宣布散会，并告知下周继续开会。我们游荡回各自的办公室，盘算着怎样才能把浪费的时间补回来。这是多年前的一次会议，但类似的情景仍然随时随地在不同公司上演。Partoftheproblematsuchmeetingsisthattheleaderhasnotsetclearobjectivesoranagenda,anddidn'tassignpre-meetingpreparationtasks.Instead,theleaderseemstohopethatmagicwilloccur,producingsolutionstoth

13、eproblems.Ofcourse,thatdoesn'thappen.这种会议的问题部分在于会议召集人没有明确的目标或议程，也没有布置好会前的准备工作，而是寄希望于奇迹发生，带来解决问题的方法。当然，奇迹从未发生。Themainreasonwedon'tmakemeetingsmoreproductiveisthatwedon'tvalueourtimeproperly.Thepeoplewhocallmeetingsandthosewhoattendthemarenotthinkingabouttimeastheirmostvaluableresource.But

15、召开和参加会议的人都没有将时间当做最宝贵的资源。但时间是世上最易逝的东西。忙碌的一天中你无法得到额外的一个小时来做事。尽管如此，我们还总是依稀觉得未来有大把时间，故而不珍惜当下，漫不经心地把家庭、朋友和自己的时间浪费掉。Iusedtobethedisengagedparticipantonewhohadgoodideasabouthowtosolveaproblem,butdidn'tcontribute.Inowtakeamoreactiverole,aimingtomakemeetingsmoreeffective.HerearethreesimpleprinciplesIuse.

23、地方特色，参观当地的风景名胜，品尝当地的美味佳肴。如果想要了解出差城市里有些什么真正好玩的东西，第一大资源就是当地居民。如果你去一个很远的城市与合伙人或卖家谈生意，他们会非常乐意带你去了解当地的环境，去好玩的去处做有意思的事。Ifyoucansecuretheeveningofalocalinyourdestinationtown,youcangetquiteanamazingtouroftheareaandseethingsthattouristsmayneverfind.Itisn'tthathardtoinvitealocaltobeyourguide.Ifyouhaveexpe

25、relaxation.如果能让某个当地人晚上随行的话，那你在目的地城市的旅行将会非常棒，可以欣赏到游客们可能永远都发现不了的东西。要请当地人当导游也并非难事。如果你公司允许报销经费，那么你可以花公司的钱请与游吃顿晚饭。这样，他们可以吃上免费大餐，而你就可以有导游陪你游览。但是，如果你在大城市出差并且想参观大景点的话，那就大胆去当一回游容吧。这些都将会是旅途中一段非常美好的回忆，毕竟你已经努力完成了出差使命，所以理应放松放松。IfyouarethereonFriday,butyourworkmustbecontinuedonMonday,mostbusinesseswouldratherpayfortwonightsinahotelandmealsthanflyyouhomeandbackoutagain.Soyoucankeepyourrentalcarandsimplyputasideyourbusinessforawhileandreallyexplorethelocalhaunts.-完整学习资料分享-WORD#式-可编辑-如果你周五出差，但下周一还得继续，那么大多数公司会宁愿花钱让你在当地
