三招学会自我表扬 职业形象大提升

　　工作中，想推销自己并受到老板的赏识是正常的。

　　But tooting your own horn too much — and too obviously — can hurt your professional image.

　　但是牛皮吹得太大太明显的话，反而会损害到你的职业形象。

　　The cleverest self-promoters know that, and have an ingenious way of subtly making themselves look good: by praising others.

　　最聪明的自荐者深谙此道，所以他们采用一种独特的方式巧妙提升自我形象——表扬他人。

　　In a recent post on LinkedIn, leadership expert Jeff Haden writes that the best way to strengthen your personal image is by helping those around you succeed.

　　LinkedIn网近期的一篇文章中，领导专家杰夫-哈登写道，提升自我形象的最好方法就是帮助你周围的人成功。

　　Haden suggests three counterintuitive ways to accomplish this.

　　哈登建议采用三种非常规的方法实现这一目标。

　　First, he says, let others get the public glory. "Sure, maybe you really did do all the work," he writes. "It doesn't matter. Give someone else the glory."

　　首先，他写道，让别人接受大家的赞誉。“当然，可能你才是那个做了所有的工作的人。没关系。让别人获得荣誉。”

　　When your team shines, others remember that you're the one who helped lead them there.

　　当你的团队大放异彩时，大家会记住你才是那个引领他们攀上荣誉之巅的人。

　　Second, Haden says to talk about a customer's success rather than the company's.

　　第二，哈登认为应该多讨论顾客的成功而不是公司的。

　　"The fact that your customers are such smart and savvy people reflects well on you," he explains.

　　他解释说：“如果你的顾客都是那么聪明，那么有见识，那么这点会让你的形象大大提升。”

　　Third and finally, he recommends letting employees lead meetings about projects they completed.

　　最后，他建议让员工在某项计划完成时自己主持会议。

　　Introduce the item by saying "Lena is going to walk us through the process," and then hand the reins to her.

　　你可以这样介绍“莉娜将跟进整个项目进程”，然后把主导权交给她。

　　"Everyone already knows you're in charge; the fact that your employees get things done reflects well on you," he adds.

　　他还补充说：“每个人都知道你是指挥者。你的员工在你的领导下完成了项目，这点对你的形象非常有利。”
