　How to Argue with Your Boss

　　1 Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast1, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss's secretary, there are keys to timing2: don't approach the boss when he's on deadline3; don't go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed4; don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.

　　2 If you're mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration5. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.

　　3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it6.

　　4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more7. If you can't put forward an immnediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary8.

　　5 To deal effectively with a boss, it's important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals9.

　　譯文：怎樣與老板爭論

　　在你與老板爭論以前，先去老板秘書那里問一下老板的情緒，如果他情緒很糟，去向他提要求可不是一個好主意。即使沒有老板的秘書，在選擇時間方面也有竅門：別在老板趕期限時去找他;別在午飯前去找他，因為這時他最易走神，匆忙行事;別在他度假前后去找他。

　　如果你快發(fā)瘋了，只會使你的老板也氣瘋。先平靜一下。別讓某件特別的事情打開你積怨的閘門。老板會認(rèn)為，你對公司持完全否定的態(tài)度，而且無法改變你的觀點。接下來，你可能要被開除。

　　當(dāng)雇主和雇員雙方都不明白對方要說什么時，會發(fā)生可怕的爭執(zhí)。有時問題弄清時，矛盾也就消除了。雇員必須清楚地傳達(dá)他的觀點，讓老板明白。

　　即使你不給老板添麻煩，他要考慮的事也已經(jīng)夠多的了。如果你無法提出直接的解決方案，至少要表明怎樣對待此問題。那些經(jīng)常給老板提問題，而不提出解決方案的人會發(fā)現(xiàn)他們連秘書那一關(guān)也過不了。

　　要想和老板相處融洽，多考慮他的目標(biāo)和壓力非常重要。如果你能把自己擺在老板的合伙人的位置上，他自然會愿意與你合作，達(dá)到你的目的。
