It is important to convey your feelings even in the business scene
There are two main things we should keep in mind in the business scene.
1. Try to communicate accurately so as not to cause misunderstandings
In the field of business, trivial misunderstandings can lead to great losses. Therefore, it is important to tell and listen to the time, place, amount of money, project details, etc. as accurately as possible.
2. Try to be frank but never rude
You can run your business smoothly by using appropriate language according to the relationship with the other party. However, if you just think "do not be rude" or "do not use the wrong honorifics" in terms of language, communication becomes awkward and mechanical.
If the business, which is a business between humans, becomes mechanical, human relationships will gradually become squeaky. Don't fall into ritualistic rhetoric and template expressions, try to communicate with each other closer to the feelings of the other person's "now".
Your friends and subordinates are not the only people in need of encouragement and support. Give words of encouragement to those who are having difficulty, even if they are bosses or superiors, who are close to the feelings of the other person.
