英语好 能带来边际效应
英语好 能带来边际效应
1)销售
英语好 不仅仅在我所在的公司,不仅仅在我所在的行业,我看到无数销售经理或总监做到那个位置,結果英语不好成为阻碍。而能做到那个位置英语又不错的基本都升总经理。原因很简单,总部希望能够知道中国的上层在想什么,而这取决于你说什么和怎么说,有的时候这比你做什么还重要,虽然英语好并不能帮你搞定中国的客户。不过在区域经理和以下,英语的价值有限。
2)市场
基本上从产品专员开始对英语就有需求了,如果想成为产品经理或者市场经理,那么与总部沟通的能力非常重要,不论是从纯粹做事角度还是政治需求角度。与销售部门不同的是,英语好客观上可以帮助你获得资源和领会意图等等。
3)其它部门介于销售和市场之间
基本上底层对英语需求有限,高层对英语需求很高。只要英语不好,一定影响在外企长期职业发展。不知道多少次听HR评价一个人,什么都好就是英语方面……
其实绝大多数总部的老外对中国都是一知半解,一年来一两趟。试想这个时候有个英文好,还能按照老外思维方式沟通的人,比一个据说很有能力,但是说话颠三倒四、语病连篇、而且说话不那么自信的人要可信多少倍。 假设让我去埃塞俄比亚管理一个企业,我肯定也喜欢和中文好的当地员工沟通。大企业里,一个人的作用本来就有限,所以能力不总是第一位的;于是上级对下级的评价就往往要基于印象;而总部老外对中国管理层的印象往往来自于大量的邮件,电话会,和少量的面对面;基本上这几个场景的印象建立全都是基于语言的。
