Gayle Allen: 本期节目讨论了职场女性面临的挑战,例如晋升困难、薪资差距和权力受限。Alison Fragale教授的研究表明,提升自身地位是解决这些问题的关键。她的著作《讨人喜欢的狠角色》探讨了如何通过提升地位来获得成功。节目中,Alison Fragale教授详细解释了地位和权力的关系,并分享了提升地位的实用技巧,例如有效沟通、展现能力和关心他人等。 Alison Fragale: 在职场中,地位和权力是相互关联的。地位是指他人对你的尊重和评价,而权力则是控制资源的能力。获得尊重是获得权力的关键。人们通常更愿意把权力交给那些值得尊重的人。提升地位的关键在于展现你对别人的关心和你的能力。人们尊重那些既关心他人又能力强的人。我将这种人称为“讨人喜欢的狠角色”。 提升地位并非女性的专属任务,而是每个人都需要面对的问题。虽然职场中存在系统性的性别偏见,但女性仍然可以通过管理自身可控的地位因素来获得成功。这包括展现你的能力、关心他人,以及有效地讲述你的故事。 在提升地位的过程中,要关注人们对你的感知。人们对人的感知通常基于两个维度:温暖/冷漠和顺从/自信。温暖指的是你对别人的关心程度,而自信指的是你的能力和决断力。要平衡这两个维度,才能获得他人的尊重。 提升地位需要持续的努力和学习。要学会接受赞美,并找到合适的方式展现自己的成就。要学会利用人脉,让别人来帮助你提升地位。要学会拒绝那些不值得你投入时间和精力的工作。要学会讲述自己的故事,让别人了解你的能力和价值。要学会寻求他人的帮助,并从不同的导师那里学习不同的技能。

Shownotes Transcript

If you’re a woman in the workplace, you know the deck is rarely stacked in your favor. For example, promotions are harder to come by. The gender wage gap is real. And power can feel elusive.

Psychology professor and researcher, Alison Fragale, has studied the power problem for decades. What she’s figured out is that the solution lies with status. But, as she argues in her book, Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, if women shift their focus to cultivating status, they get further ahead in solving the power problem.

Alison Fragale has unlocked the key to achieving greater status in the workplace. And she shares practical tips on how to get started. It’s a book I’ll be recommending to all my friends
