在推崇数据和理性分析的商业世界里,“事实胜于雄辩”似乎是一个颠扑不破的真理。但你是否遇到过类似的职场修罗场:为什么你拿着无懈可击的数据报表,却在提案会上输给了拿着几张PPT侃侃而谈的同事?其中隐藏着一个略显反常识甚至残酷的职场真相—— 很多情况下,事实不仅胜不了雄辩,反而会被“雄辩”降维打击。 究竟是什么让“雄辩”拥有了重塑结果的神奇魔力?作为职场人,我们又该如何正确驾驭这种能力,为职业生涯注入核心竞争力?中欧国际工商学院金融与会计系教授苏锡嘉,剖析了“事实胜不了雄辩”背后的原因,并带我们重新审视职场表达力的重要性和必要性。 在加拿大读书时,我曾被叫去改会计执业资格考试的考卷。参加评卷的都是高校的老师,地点设在一家酒店,租了几个客房,搬走室内的床和其他家具,再放上简单的桌椅,就权当临时办公场地了。 一个房间里男男女女七八个人,坐得满满当当。其中一个爱开玩笑的教授告诉我,有次被问起是否认识某女教授,而那位女教授恰和他一起改过考卷,于是他就说:“当然认识,她和我在一个酒店房间了共同度过了好几天!”(She and I shared a hotel room for quite a few days.) 你不能不说这是事实,但听起来暧昧得让人想入非非。试想一下,如果他告诉别人:“认识,我们俩在一起改过考卷”,听起来就平淡无比,大概没人会记得住。 一个事实,两种表述,结果大不相同。 五感认知的事实可信吗? 我们通常爱说“事实胜于雄辩”,意思是,在铁的事实面前雄辩滔滔只能是徒劳的挣扎。然而,但凡有点职场经验的人都知道,事实未必那么清晰可见。 只要事实有可辩之处,雄辩大概率会胜于事实。 雄辩之所以会胜于事实, 首先是因为“何为事实”并不那么显而易见。 但凡事实显得模棱两可,强有力的说辞很可能就决定了众人对事实的认定。 人依靠感觉器官来认知世界,来体认事实。我们的感觉无非就是 视、听、嗅、触 和 尝 ,其中,视觉和听觉是远程感官(distal senses),不需要通过身体的接触来感知;因此,你感知的同时别人也可以感知,从而使验证成为可能。而味觉、嗅觉和触觉是近距离感官(proximal senses),差不多天生就是独享的,很难被他人验证;即便验证,每个人的结论可能都不同,典型的例子就是“盲人摸象”:每个人都认为自己是基于实际触觉而得出了正确的结论,而每个人又毫无例外地偏离了完...
