Respecting Others in the Workplace: A Solemn Commitment
The popularity of the drama "Solemn Commitment" continues to grow. In the workplace, it is crucial to understand that respecting others is the biggest taboo. Have you ever experienced doubting your own abilities and feeling anxious because others didn't show respect, even when you were determined to master a skill or achieve something? In the show, Xiao Li Ming, a newcomer to the workplace, passionately explains the scam to Zhang Zhe, engaging in a heated debate with a law and a chemistry doctorate. However, he fails to convince Zhang Zhe to believe in his encounter with fraud. Fortunately, Zhang Feng Jiao steps in and changes the communication approach, placing respect for Zhang Zhe as a priority and mediating the situation with Yang Ming An in a timely manner.
Zhang Feng Jiao emphasizes the importance of understanding social customs, which begins with respecting others. Even if you don't have a high level of education, it's essential to delve into the experiences and hardships of ordinary people. After all, the workplace is not a place where we can stubbornly pursue our own desires or vent our emotions.
Even when experiencing dissatisfaction or having the urge to complain, it is vital to maintain respect as a prerequisite and exercise proper judgment. One of the fundamental self-awareness traits for professionals is the ability to think from different perspectives. In "Solemn Commitment," Zhang Feng Jiao expresses her current confusion. She sacrificed her family and went through a divorce for this job, and her relatives fail to understand her decision. However, she realizes that she cherishes the sense of accomplishment she finds in her work.
Guo Ran visits her grandfather and expresses her desire to return to the prosecution office, feeling unable to tolerate her work at the comprehensive management center, as it seems like a waste of her talents. Her grandfather shares stories of cases he handled in the past, emphasizing that the work done by the prosecution office and the comprehensive management center is about saving lives and helping others. Without a compassionate heart, those in positions of power can end up harming others and themselves. Under her grandfather's guidance, Zhang Feng Jiao and Guo Ran suddenly understand the importance of understanding people's thoughts and standing in their shoes to genuinely work for their well-being. Therefore, it is essential for professionals to cultivate the habit of considering different perspectives. Regardless of the present or future workplace, this self-awareness is the most basic trait for professionals.
Maintaining understanding and empathy is the best cultivation for professionals. In our daily lives, we often interact with people casually and unintentionally offend them. It is only after experiencing setbacks that we realize the true importance of understanding and empathy. For example, in "Solemn Commitment," an elderly lady carrying a backpack commits suicide by jumping into a river after exhausting her savings to purchase an unfinished building. The completion of her apartment is uncertain, and she has to repay the loan monthly. Song Qi Chang feels uneasy witnessing this incident. Through investigations, Song Qi Chang confirms that Hongwen Group indeed has unfinished buildings and has been withholding salaries for several months. To console the children of the elderly woman, Zhang Feng Jiao quickly discusses the matter with Xiao Li Ming. Xiao Li Ming seeks help from Ma Le, but ultimately, Luo Chang Feng decides to assign Zhang Feng Jiao to handle the case.
Through mediation at the comprehensive management center, Hongwen Group agrees to refund all initial payments. Zhang Feng Jiao and others take into account the difficult situation of the elderly woman's three sons and help find suitable jobs for her daughter-in-law and one of her sons. Yang Ming An believes that the youngest son is the most capable and encourages him to venture into new territories, which deeply moves the Zhao family. Xiao Li Ming, being stubborn, only realizes the importance of understanding others after going through some trials. It is because of Zhang Feng Jiao that we see the significance of understanding and empathy in the workplace. "If the environment doesn't change, the solution is to change ourselves." Therefore, truly successful individuals in the workplace often have one prominent characteristic: an understanding of others' thoughts and perspectives.
Success naturally follows when one puts in the effort. Neglecting the process and seeking quick gains will only lead to failure. Of course, apart from the points mentioned above, there are many more workplace insights hidden in "Solemn Commitment." Each character can be analyzed and studied as a distinct role in the workplace, providing valuable lessons for everyone.
