Appear with authority in the workplace using these 7 phrases:
If you want to be a powerful person in the work environment and even in your personal life, you need to change some phrases in yourself and talk to others with a new communication literature.
Some speech habits are ingrained in us, but they can be modified.
In this article, 7 practical phrases are presented that will make you appear with authority in the workplace.
1⃣ “What I can do is that.”
Instead of saying, “I can’t,” when turning down a request, you can say, “What I can do is .” In this way, your client or colleague realizes that you are willing to cooperate, but you have set a limit for your cooperation.
2⃣ “I’m looking for the answer to this question”
When you don’t know the answer to a question, it’s best to simply say “I’ll look it up” instead of pretending to know what you don’t know.
In this case, your employer or colleague will realize that you are looking to solve questions and problems and for that you are trying to go one step further.
3⃣ “Can you?”
When you want your co-worker to do something for you, don’t say, “I know how busy you are.” or “I apologize for taking up your time.”
These sentences show that you are not sure about what you want to delegate and you consider it an additional burden for your colleague. If something needs to be done, there is no need to apologize or say extra words. Make your request friendly and respectful.
4⃣ “Let’s solve this problem”
When something goes wrong and you are responsible for it, stop giving unnecessary compliments. By using sentences like “Let’s solve this problem.” You can clearly raise the problem and talk about solutions. Approach the problem from the angle of authority, not from the position of weakness.
5⃣ “I’m glad it was like this.”
When someone at work compliments you on your performance, instead of giving weak responses like “I didn’t do anything special” or “It was nothing” or “It could have been better” simply say thank you and say “I’m glad it was that way.”
6⃣ “I want to help you”
If your co-worker or manager has a problem at work and you want to calm him down, you can acknowledge his feelings by saying: “I understand that you are upset, I want to help you in this situation.”
7⃣ “I’m glad I could help you”
When you help a co-worker and they thank you, it’s easy to say, “I’m glad I was able to help,” and share your feelings with them.
