Solving a problem at work

Explain a problem, ask for clarification, and agree on next steps.

What you will learn

Вы научитесь разбирать конструктивный рабочий разговор: нейтрально назвать риск, выяснить причину, распределить действия и назначить проверку результата.

Turn a risk into a plan

1
STATE THE RISK
neutral and specific

We may miss Friday's deadline.

2
FIND THE CAUSE
ask what is blocking progress

What's causing the delay?

3
ASSIGN ACTIONS
who does what?

You call the client; I'll finish the layout.

4
CHECK THE RESULT
time or observable condition

Let's check in again at four.

A useful problem-solving exchange

Eva: We may miss Friday's deadline. Max: What's causing the delay? Eva: The client hasn't approved the final text yet. Max: What do you need from me? Eva: Could you call the client this morning? Meanwhile, I'll finish the layout. Max: All right. Let's check in again at four.

Диалог обсуждает процесс, а не обвиняет человека.

Four moves

  1. State the risk: We may miss the deadline.
  2. Find the cause: What's causing the delay?
  3. Assign actions: Could you call the client? I'll finish the layout.
  4. Confirm follow-up: Let's check in again at four.

Neutral and specific language

Сравните:

  • constructive: The data is still incomplete.
  • blaming: You failed to send the data again.

Нейтральная формулировка не скрывает проблему; она делает следующий шаг легче.

Clarify responsibility

  • Could you clarify what you need from me?
  • Who is responsible for the final check?
  • I'll update the document while you contact the client.

Слова while / meanwhile показывают параллельные действия.

Close with an observable next step

Let's talk later слишком расплывчато. Укажите время или условие: Let's check in at four или Send me a message when the figures are ready.
