爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

It was fully half an hour before Bok could explain to the irate woman that he never remembered receiving a letter from her; that subscriptions, even when personally addressed to him, did not come to his desk, etc.; that if she would leave her name and address he would have the matter investigated. Absolutely unconvinced that anything would be done, and unaltered in her opinion about Bok, the woman finally left.

白话

博克花了整整半小时,才向这位愤怒的女士解释清楚:他根本不记得收到过她的信;订阅费即便是直接寄给他,也不会送到他的办公桌上,等等;如果她留下姓名和地址,他会去查这件事。可这位女士完全不相信会有什么调查结果,对博克的看法也丝毫没变,最后悻悻离去。这说明,当一个人已经认定你有错时,光靠解释很难扭转她的印象。更有效的做法是:先承认她的损失,再给出具体、可追踪的处理步骤,并主动反馈结果,而不是急着撇清自己。

上下文

博克试图向投诉的女士澄清自己,但对方先入为主,解释收效甚微。

今日一问

面对一个已经认定你有错的人,你会先解释,还是先解决他的问题?
