But many people say that eating with leaders is tiring, and there are too many places to pay attention to. But it's really unreasonable that you are always absent from the dinner with the leaders present.
Then do homework together and learn table manners. If you master these tips in the workplace, maybe the leaders will find out from these details that you are calm and sophisticated, thus enhancing each other's feelings.
Seat products
1. The first thing to pay attention to is seating, and find your own position. According to the custom in China, "facing the door is the most important thing", so the seat opposite the door is usually the chief and the highest-ranking leader. Next to the director, there are two seats for three in turn, and opposite the director, the seats with the lowest qualifications. For easy memory, please refer to the following icon.
2. If you meet a leader you don't know, you can ask someone to introduce you first to avoid misunderstanding in the future.
3. Lead the leader to sit down first. After the leader sat down, everyone sat down in turn, leaving room for walking and serving.
4. Ask the leading colleagues if they need some refreshments before meals. Usually the most junior person on the wine table pours tea and water for everyone. Don't pour the tea too full, lest you burn others.
Serving supplies
1. If it's just a dinner party, leave the ordering to the host and don't ask about the price of vegetables.
2. Leaders are generally reluctant to order food in person. If you need to order food, you should try to figure out the taste of the leaders and come up with several plans to solicit their opinions. Everyone should order a dish, avoid taboo dishes, and pay attention to the collocation of cold and hot vegetarian dishes, especially when women sit.
Give the dishes just served to the leaders first, and then taste them in turn.
4. Prepare public spoons and chopsticks in advance, pay attention to what kind of food the leaders like to eat, and get up to help the leaders with food at the right time, but don't persuade them too often. If you are a foreign leader, you don't need to persuade food, because there are great cultural differences.
When you meet a dish that suits your taste, you should wait until you turn to the front before putting chopsticks.
6. Pay attention when turning vegetables. It is impolite to interrupt others to serve food first. Turn the plate slowly. If there is a cup or saucer blocking the dish, remind the other person to move it so as not to knock it over.
7. Pay attention to your personal diet when eating, and avoid gorging or making too much noise.
Dialogue article
1. When a leader is present, don't move chopsticks before the leader makes an opening speech.
2. Don't be too "invisible" at the dinner table. Don't just play with your mobile phone or patronize yourself. You should give priority to the leader's speech, you can respond appropriately, and be modest and low-key.
Don't interrupt the leader's speech at will, and no matter who the leader is talking to, you can't just eat and drink. You should put on a serious listening posture and sincerely nod your head to show your approval.
4. Introverts should not be too forced to speak for themselves. Clap your hands and laugh with everyone when you meet a lively scene. Extroverts can show your self-cultivation and demeanor through humorous conversation.
Don't tell others right or wrong, don't reveal other people's secrets, and don't discuss anything too vulgar or extreme.
6. Try to talk about topics that everyone can participate in, and don't just whisper to a few people.
Toast article
1. Eat with the leader, don't drink for the sake of drinking, it's best not to be ruthless and never touch alcohol.
2. Reasonably master the rhythm of toasting, and wait for several leaders to toast each other before it is their turn to toast.
Toast should be arranged according to the host and guest, position, age, etc. And propose a toast to the leaders one by one. Don't worship many people at once.
4. When toasting, hold the cup in your right hand and the bottom of the cup in your left hand, and prepare your thanks and thanks in advance.
When clinking glasses with the leader, your glass is slightly lower than the other party, which is just the opposite of clinking glasses with subordinates.
6. Humble people should take the initiative to add wine to their leaders, persuade them to drink moderately, and don't force each other too much, not to mention inappropriate words such as "deep feelings are boring, shallow feelings are licking".
7. Objectively estimate your capacity for drinking, and avoid the embarrassment of talking nonsense or making a fool of yourself after being drunk. You can use humorous excuses such as "limited alcohol consumption and unlimited affection" to solve the embarrassment.
Ending article
1. If you have to leave halfway under special circumstances, please sincerely explain the reasons to the leader and apologize before leaving. Don't slip away quietly, and don't ask others if they want to go with you on the way.
When checking out, usually the waiter will ask the host how to pay first. At this time, if the leader has no clear intention to invite you, you can only be prepared to pay the bill or AA, but you can't leave the account to the leader.
If the leader treats you, don't ask the price casually.
Before leaving, remind everyone to take their belongings with them.
Open the door for the leader in advance, and ask the leader to go out first and then follow closely.
