PatrickKavanagh: 我想指出我在中国运营过程中观察到的一个非常重要的文化差异。有些情况下，人们（尤其是领导者）会滔滔不绝地讲话，而且毫无结构。在美国，这相当于在智商和情商测试中不及格。如果对他人这样做，是不会被接受的。事实上，这种对简洁表达的重视在美国社会中已经根深蒂固，以至于我的通话录音应用在讲话超过3分钟后就会发出“独白”警告。 如果你希望留住任何美国或欧盟的外籍人才，这可能是一项需要培养的技能。我个人也有讲话稍微过长的问题，但我所见过的那些独白，在美国的语境中几乎可以说是“战争罪”级别的严重问题。我们从小就被教育要三思而后言，高效地说出需要表达的内容，然后停止讲话。 I want to point out a very important cultural difference I’ve seen while operating in China. There are situations where people (particularly leaders) will talk, endlessly, and without any structure. In the US, this would be the equivalent to failing an IQ and EQ test. If you do this to other people it will not be taken well. In fact, this is societally so ingrained to speak concisely that my call recording app has a “monologue” warning after 3 minutes. If you expect to retain any US or EU foreign talent this may be a skill that needs to be developed. I personally have a problem with talking a little too long, but the monologues I have seen would be a borderline war crime in a US setting. We are taught from a very young age to think before you speak, say what you need to say efficiently, and stop talking.
