Yabancı Yöneticiniz ile Uyumlu bir Çalışma için Gerekli İngilizce İfadeler

Uyuşmazlıklar ve kişilik çatışmaları her iş yerinde meydana gelebilecek sorunlardır. Bu tür uyuşmazlıklar doğrudan ve üstü kapalı olarak ikiye ayrılabilir. Doğrudan bir uyuşmazlık üç durumda ortaya çıkar: belli bir konuda karşınızdakınin algısı sizinkiyle farklılık göstermektedir; farklı görüşlere sahipsinizdir veya ihtiyaçlarınız farklıdır. Üstü kapalı uyuşmazlık ise karşılıklı çatışmaların bir süredir devam ettiği ancak dışa vurulmadığı ve iki kişi arasındaki iletişimi engelleyerek verimliliği etkilediği durumlardır.

Bu tür bir uyuşmazlığı yabancı bir iş arkadaşı veya yönetici ile tecrübe etmeniz halinde, uyuşmazlığın yönetimi yabancı dilde iletişimden doğan yanlış anlaşılma ihtimali ile daha da hassas bir konu olacaktır.

Executive English Coaching blog yazılarında, iş hayatında karşınıza çıkabilecek uyuşmazlıkların çözümünde hangi İngilizce ifadeleri kullanmanız gerektiğini kişi ve duruma göre sıralanmış şekilde bulabilirsiniz. İş İngilizcesi becerilerinizi geliştirerek bu tür uyuşmazlıklarda İngilizce bariyerine takılmadan ilişkilerinizi doğru yönetebilirsiniz.  Bu ayki yazımızda yabancı yöneticiniz ile bir uyuşmazlık veya fikir ayrılığı yaşadığınızda kullanabileceğiniz profesyonel İngilizce ifadeleri farklı durumlara göre listeliyoruz.

İş hayatında düşüncelerinizi, ihtiyaçlarınızı ve isteklerinizi İngilizcede doğru şekilde aktarmak için yalnızca İngilizce bilmek yeterli değildir. İş İngilizcesi veya profesyonel İngilizce bambaşka bir dildir. Genel İngilizce becerileriniz Intermediate seviyesine geldikten sonra profesyonel İngilizce öğrenmeye başlayabilirsiniz.

Ancak, iş hayatında kullanılan İngilizceyi öğrenmek için bir İngilizce öğretmeni ile değil, kurumsal hayatı yakından tanıyan, iş tecrübesine sahip ve ana dili seviyesinde İngilizce konuşan eğitmenler ile çalışmanız sizin daha kısa sürede, daha verimli bir şekilde profesyonel İngilizce konuşmanızı sağlayacaktır.
