之前大热的“延禧攻略”俘获了一众粉丝。前有甄嬛传、如懿传等一众宫斗戏，部部大热，但扎针、栽赃、戏精、黑化，这些常见的宫斗手法/现象倒是没有什么变化，无非是换了一批参与宫斗的新面孔而已。The previous hot TV series "Story of Yanxi Palace" (Yanxi Palace) has captured a lot of fans. It's similar to other palace intrigue TV series like "Empresses in the palace", only with some new faces.

“延禧攻略”里的“职场攻略”，你悟出了多少？| "Workplace Principles" learned from "Yanxi Palace"

闲来无事，跟老婆一起看了几集“延禧攻略”。也许是年纪大了，也许是职业病，竟看出了不同的味道。今天不说剧、不评剧，就说说从“延禧攻略”里悟出来的那些“职场攻略”。

I watched a few episodes of "Yanxi Palace" with my wife. Maybe because of my age or career, I have sensed something different other than the drama itself. Today, let me talk about the "Workplace Principles" that I learned from "Yanxi Palace".

1

要谨言慎行 | Mind your P's and Q's

宫中处处充满陷阱，职场何尝不是。只不过，宫斗戏与职场最大的不同，在于宫斗戏里处处是别人精心设计的陷阱，而职场上更多是自己给自己挖的坑。话说的太多、太快、或者作出不合时宜的冲动举动，都会让自己处于很被动的境地，比如：

There are traps everywhere in the palace, the same at workplace. However, traps are set by others in the palace, but normally it is you to get yourself into the traps at workplace. Talk too much or too fast, or an untimely impulsive move could put yourself in a very akward position:

“这项工作我周三前肯定能做好”

“订单没有拿下，我认为一定是XX的问题”

“这个项目要是由我来做，肯定不会失败”

“不服老板的训斥，直接顶回去”

"I can defenitely finish this work by Wednesday"

"It must be XX's fault not to get the order"

"I must not fail if I was the project leader"

"I will bite back if my boss yells at me"

要耐得住寂寞 | Get used to frustration

在宫斗戏里，妃子失了宠，只有能耐得住寂寞，才能创造复宠的机会。职场中，一时的失意并不代表永远不能获得成功。丢了一个客户、办事不利被说了几句，如果因此意志消沉，你就真的被打垮了。失败一次两次不要慌，花时间补强自己欠缺的专业知识，认真的总结经验，这样就一定能进步。

In palace, when a concubine loses the emperor's favor, she could only create chances to regain the favor if she can get used to the frustration for a while. At workplace, a moment of frustration does not mean forever failure. If you fail a task, do not feel depressed, otherwise you will never stand up again. Take time to reinforce your lack of professional knowledge, and earnestly learn from the experience. That's how you make progress.

3

要学会控制情绪 | To control your emotion

宫斗戏里最终的晋级者，永远是那些情绪控制能力极强的人，而那些喜怒形于色的妃子，心思极容易暴露，因此不能成事。“延禧攻略”里，即便是主角光环加身的魏璎珞，在痛失情同姐妹的侍女明玉后，情绪失控的冲到顺嫔处理论，结果正中了顺嫔的诡计，一度被乾隆和太后双双抛弃。

Those who can laugh to the end in "Yanxi Palace" are always the ones that can well control their emotion. Those concubines with visible pleasure and anger can easily expose their minds so they are not able to make it to the end. Even the protagonist Yingluo Wei was almost abandoned by the emperor when she lost control of her emotion just for once before she fell into the trap set by another concubine.

很多职场人都有过带着情绪讨论工作的经历，常常是得罪了同事。做下属者如此，得不到同事和老板的配合，工作无法继续开展；做上级者如此，久而久之将失去下属的拥护。一个成熟的职场人，懂得如何控制情绪，这不是心机，而是对别人的尊重，是专业素质的体现。

Many of us have had the experience of working with emotions that often hurt other work fellows. In this case, a subordinate can't get help from his/her teammates or boss, and thus can't continue his/her work properly; a superior will lose support from his/her team. A mature workplace person knows how to control emotions. This is not a intentional strategy, but a respect for others and reflection of your professionalism.

“我只是心直口快，并没有恶意”

对不起，这个解释在职场不顶用。

"I mean no harm. I am just straightforward."

Sorry, this is not working at workplace.

要学会协调资源 | To coordinate resources

“延禧攻略”里，皇后乌拉那拉氏的父亲为人忠厚，悲悯百姓，为赈灾尽心尽力，甚至变卖了自己所有家产用于赈灾，却最终因为“赈灾不利”而丢了性命，很多人为他不值。事实是，朝廷拨的赈灾款遭遇层层盘剥，到地方已所剩无几，但其没有像其它地区的赈灾官员一样对富人动手，导致赈灾活动无法有效开展，最终甚至引发灾民的暴动。在乾隆看来，虽你德行高尚，但确实没有把事办成。

In "Yanxi Palace", the queen's father was a good man that loves the people. He was responsible for the relieve of people in disaster. He worked so hard on the job even to sell out all his belongings for it. However, he was sentenced to death because the emperor thought he didn't get the job done well.

以上是一个极端的例子。在职场中，我们经常抱怨上级给的资源不够，殊不知很多工作都不得不在资源极其有限的情况下开展并完成，要明白这就是常态。成功的企业，起初时也几乎都是缺乏资源的。正因为资源的匮乏，才需要你，去有效的协调资源，把事情搞定。成功的企业想要攀登更高的山峰，依然会面临资源短缺的困境，依然是要靠“人”来解决问题，这就是“人”的价值。

We often complain that we are not granted enough resources for the job. However, you have to understand that it is normality that many tasks are to be carried out and completed with extremely limited resources. Those successful companies were almost always in short of resources at first. You are precisely needed under such circumstance to effectively coordinate resources to get things done. When a successful company wants to grow bigger, it will have the same struggling so that it can only rely on its "people" to achieve the target. This is the value of "people."

要有管理者思维 | To think like a manager

接以上的例子，很多人觉得即便他办事不利，但是尽职尽责，于情于理也不该受罚，更不该被杀头。这就是职场上老生常谈的“苦劳”和“功劳”。

Further to the case above. Many people think that even he did not do the job well, he should not be punished considering his hard work. Well, we often talk about "hard work" and "contribution" at workplace.

在企业里，专业的管理者懂得安抚“苦劳”，但真正奖励的还是“功劳”，因为只有“功劳”才是推动业务和企业发展的真材实料。职场人要学会与上级换位思考，具备管理者思维。能做到如此，就不会再为自己的“苦劳”不被提及或重视而难过，也会更加理解上级的一些举动和决策，更加有利于自己管理能力的提升和职场发展。

In companies, professional managers always appreciate “hard work”, but reward only “contribution” that is essential to promote business and enterprise development. People at workplace must learn to empathize with their superiors to have the manager kind of thinking. If you can do this, you will not feel upset when your "hard work" is not mentioned or paid attention, and you will also understand the actions and decisions of your superiors so that your management skills will more likely to improve. You career life will become more successful.

要踏实，别做戏精 | Don't be a "peacock", be practical.

（图片来自网络）

宫斗戏之所以流行，就是戏精们的戏要么太精彩，让人大呼过瘾；要么太拙劣，让人嗤之以鼻，忍俊不禁。但结局无一例外，那些戏精们最终都一个个惨淡落幕，只有内心坦荡、行为本分的人最终熬出头。

The reason why the palace intrigue TV series are popular is that there are many "peacocks" who either perform wonderful to amaze the audiance or perform badly to disgust them. With no exception, those “peacocks” finally fell down one by one, left only those with integrity to survive.

职场上最不要做的就是戏精：

“昨晚加班到凌晨1点，现在好困啊”

“哎，我特别想帮你，可我实在太忙啦”

“啊？我好像没有看到你的邮件诶，你确定给我发了？”

Don't be a peacock at workplace:

"Oh, I'm so sleepy now. Last night I worked overtime until 1am."

"I wanted to help you very much, but unfortunately, I'm just too busy."

"It seems that I didn't receive any e-mail from you. Are you sure that I was on copy?"

得了吧......... 职场人还是要踏实做事：

Come on! Be practical！

1，该自己的事不要推，能帮忙的也尽量帮，毕竟人心是肉长的，你帮人一次，他/她下次才会帮你。Do what you gotta do, and help those who need help so they will help you when you need them.

2，你演戏的样子真的很难看。你以为演的好，但是旁人看的清清楚楚，都在心里笑话你呢。更重要的，在职场上不真心待人、不踏实做事，结果一定是同事疏远你、不配合你的工作，你也就很难在职业上取得成功。

Being a peacock does not look nice. Your colleagues will easily see through your performance, making you the only one that is cheated. If you don't really care about your fellows, and you don't work hard, they will walk away from you so you will hardly succeed in your career.
