Decode the feedback culture
破解反饋文化

Where: South Korea, Germany
國(guó)家：韓國(guó)，德國(guó)

When Soboll visits Seoul for business meetings, he anticipates the sort of feedback he will get by first making sure he understands the relationships of those across the table from him. The most junior team member speaks first to give some initial input and the decision maker typically speaks last to make the final call. The feedback order creates a formality to the meeting that helps the participants to understand the significance of each person's input, he adds.
索伯爾去韓國(guó)進(jìn)行商業(yè)洽談的時(shí)候，他要首先確保自己了解桌子對(duì)面的人都是什么關(guān)系，據(jù)此預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)得到什么樣的反饋。首先說(shuō)開(kāi)場(chǎng)白的人是最初級(jí)的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員，而決策者往往做最后一項(xiàng)陳述。他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，這樣的發(fā)言順序是會(huì)議的正規(guī)程序，有利于與會(huì)者理解每個(gè)人發(fā)言的重要性。

German meetings, to that end, can feel equally cool, he said. There's often no way to tell how things are going. "German clients don't applaud or jump for joy," he said. "No one is going to spontaneously say how much they love this work."
他表示，德國(guó)人開(kāi)會(huì)在這方面也挺酷。你通常無(wú)法預(yù)測(cè)事情進(jìn)展如何。他說(shuō)：“德國(guó)客戶高興的時(shí)候不會(huì)鼓掌或跳起來(lái)。沒(méi)有人會(huì)自發(fā)地說(shuō)自己有多喜歡這項(xiàng)工作。”
