《穿普拉达的女王》观后感------执行力与沟通技巧标准化文件发布号:(9312-EUATWW-MWUB-WUNN-INNUL-DDQTY-KII《穿普拉达的女王》观后感------执行力与沟通技巧今天是重温这部电影,一直当这部电影是励志好篇,但初次看时,没看出有执行力和沟通技巧的问题,带着问题来看,还真能看出与管理相关的这两点来。
关于沟通技巧。
Miranda强势,不讲理,不关心下属,让正抓狂的上司形象给人很深刻的印象。
与下属沟通:分配任务时,从不告诉你怎么去做,只要你给出结果;下属遇到困难时,从不关系和过问,只要你去做就行;在工作过程中,也不会给予指导,只要你给出结果。
她事业的成功也不能说她沟通是完全失败的,她在沟通中也有好的一面,在Andy做好一件她认为完成不了的工作时,给予了及时的肯定,点头微笑,让下属得到了及时的激励。
与上级沟通:Andy表现的相当出色,每次Miranda在下达指令的时候,她都会带上本子做好记录;当在酒会上Emily窘迫得答不出来宾姓名的时候,她在最后时刻给出答案,并没有一开始就急于表现;当Miranda得知离婚消息后,她及时的安慰,换位思考;与同事沟通:Andy作为一个新人,非常谦虚的请教,Emily作为一个前辈,也很乐意赐教,在沟通中大家有一个很好的心态,处于关心对方的思考,以及主动的表现。
关于执行力。
我们不得不被Andy这样的执行力超强的好员工给折服。
刚开始的表现可能有些逊色,但她积极学习,学习他们的语言,学习他们的装扮,学习他们的文化,融入到团体中。
只要是Miranda的指令,百分之百执行,父亲来访的时候,自己休假的时候,只要是Miranda的电话必接,安排的工作想方设法去完成,找哈利波特的手稿,15分钟找到牛排等等。
这个也与领导风格相关,Miranda是个结果导向,严格的领导,只给我结果,不要借口,公司上下都知道,都清楚只要是Miranda的命令都必须执行,很好的执行文化。
《穿普拉达的女王》秘书学分析1.用秘书学知识分析片中女主角受到老板重用的原因。
1)办事能力较强。
良好的应变能力和收集处理信息的能力发挥得淋漓尽致。
不难看出,Andy 面试最终被留下来取决于那句“我很聪明,学习快,也能吃苦”,说明她有良好的应变能力;在随时收集、筛选、分析并找出领导所需的信息情报,及时充当智囊角色这点上,Andy也表现出自己的过人之处,在Emily生病忘记客人的基本信息时,能在关键时刻提供可靠的信息情报。
2)懂得领会领导意图,充分发挥主观能动性。
急领导之所急,想领导之所想,充分发挥主观能动性,出色但当参谋和助手,对于秘书来说是非常必要的。
在找手稿一事中可以看出,Andy充分发挥了自己的主观能动性,不但找到手稿,在了解到领导的目的后,还主动复印了两份并作了封面和修饰送到两姐妹手中,同时留有备份以防不时之需,这件事处理的非常妥善,既领会到领导最终目的,还不动声色地在其他方面弥补了领导的漏洞和不足。
3)严谨的工作作风和良好的职业道德。
实事求是,敢于说真话,从一开始面试时说“不懂”到最终选择离开,Andy 都做到坦诚;危机关头不顾一切告诉Miranda关于换人的阴谋,哪怕是出于私人的同情,但这也是真正关心领导的表现,同时也体现的Andy的忠于职守,这可以说是她最令领导看重的地方。
4)善于处理各种人际关系。
这一点可以说是Andy从不成熟走向成熟的标志。
从最初的对同事的不屑到融入其中,从抱怨Miranda到接受奈吉的建议反思自己,从与Emily的暗斗到最后的讲和,都是Andy越来越优秀的表现,自然,这一点也帮了Andy很大的忙,使得她顺利完成照手稿的任务,使得她得知换人阴谋从而彻底让Miranda 感动。
5)性格坚韧并懂得心理调适。
坚韧的性格让她即使受尽委屈也留了下来;不因Miranda的挑剔而公开发脾气,虽然向奈吉诉苦,但能很快解释建议并反思。
6)懂得把握工作性质、特点及要求。
从一个丑小鸭都白天鹅,Andy完成了对工作性质及特点的理解,改变自己,适应领导的需要,以领导为中心,做好自己的助手角色,不越位但也不盲从,这同时也是她最后选择离开的原因。
An Analysis of Management Theories in The Devil Wears Prada (2006)1. IntroductionWith the rapid development of global economy and enterprises in recent several decades, management science has been very popular. More and more enterprises focus on using effective and appropriate enterprise management to make optimal use of resources and realize profit maximization (Boddy, 2009). For new learners and practitioners, relevant cases such as movies can be referred and analyzed, so as to strengthen the understanding of key management concepts, theories and problems (Bumpus, 2005). The Devil Wears Prada (2006) is just an excellent case study. No matter how credible the organizational culture and team practices are, some plots really reflects some theories and research objects of management science.In this paper, the author aims at making a critical analysis of the utility and limitations of specific academic theories pertaining to teams and teamwork drawing on examples from the film The Devil Wears Prada, so as to get an in-depth understanding of relevant theory and practice of teams and teamwork in and organizational context.2.Team role analysisThe movie depicts the story that a new graduate Andrea Sachs accidentally went into a top fashion magazine office to work as the chief editor’s assistant. In this movie, the office of Runway magazine is just a typical business organization, and the editorial department is a fast-paced and efficient team. Main roles in this team include Miranda, the editor in chief, and A ndy, Miranda’s new assistant.According to Belbin’s theory of 9 team roles, there is no perfect individual but there are perfect teams. Efficient teamwork depends on tacit cooperation and coordination of team members (Belbin, 2010). Members within a team must know about their own and their partners’ roles, make up for each other’s weaknesses and perform strengths, and finally achieve organizational goals (Belbin, 2010). Successful teamwork can improve productivity, enhance morale and encourage innovation. Therefore, it is important for a leader to take advantage of members’ behavioral advantages to createa harmonious team, in order to largely improve group and individual performance (Boddy, 2009).It is obvious that Miranda is a mixed role of coordinator (CO) and Specialist (SP), a creative fashion editor and an effective leader. While her assistant Andy is an implementer (IM), an excellent executor. Their roles in team will be critically analyzed as below.2.1 Miranda-CO+SPBased on Belbin’s team role th eory, a CO is usually very calm and confident, and has the ability to control the whole situation (Belbin, 2010). A CO can always be inclusive to all kinds of valuable ideas, and see problems objectively, but may be not very superior in intelligence and creativity. Within a team, a CO clarifies the organizational goals and direction, chooses problems which needs decision-making and ranked problems according to priority (Belbin, 2010). A CO also helps determine the labor division, responsibility, work boundary of team roles, summarize organizational feeling and achievements.Miranda is the leader of the editorial department. Her words and behaviors influence her subordinates much. According to Harold Koontz, leadership is a kind of influence, or an artistic process to impose influence to people, so as to let them be willing to make efforts for organizational goals (Tomei & Hilal, 2006). As a powerful coordinator and leader, Miranda can influence others and let them follow her. She also has the ability to let others participate and work together with her to edit the fashion magazine. She encourages her subordinates to assist her to realize her ideals, goals and achievements in fashion industry, she gives them the power of success. Influence of a coordinator or a leader is of great significance for the realization of organizational goals. From this sense, influence is a core competence of a coordinator or a leader. Her powerful personal influence not only largely increase teamwork efficiency, but also rapidly impr ove staff’s individual ability from an all-round way (Sacksteder, 2006).On the other hand, as the SP in editorial department, Miranda possesses acute judging ability to her occupation. No matter the entity or the details of the magazine, she canalways be innovative and realize the perfect effect (Belbin, 2010). In order to focus on her editing work, Miranda asks Andy to do all her public or private affairs, including buying coffee and ordering flight. It is her highly effective personal style that makes her holds the mainstream power of speech in this ever-changing fashion world. When she communicates with her supervisor, she is full of wisdom, thus makes her reach her goals effectively. .2.2 Andy-IMAndy Sachs is an employee with extremely strong power of execution. At the beginning, she was a bit disadvantaged as she had not adapt to the new working environment. However she never gave up, she actively learned new things, including her colleagues’ language, culture and dressing-up, and got involved into the team as fast as possible. She executed Miranda’s command with 100% effort and never said no. Even after she was criticized by her supervisor, she just made up for her mistakes and continued until reaching final success (Ramlall, 2004). Even when her father came to visit her from a distant place and when she was on a vacation, as long as Miranda’s calls, she would receive immediately and tried every effort to complete each tricky task, such as finding out manuscripts of Harry Potter and purchasing a steak within 15 minutes.In addition, Andy’s huge motivation is also related to Miranda’s leadership. Miranda is a result-oriented and strict boss, and always in pursuit of perfectionism (Tomei & Hilal, 2006). All employees know her personality and also make her as a role model. Such effective execution culture naturally motivate Andy to work hard.From Andy, the author has learned that in one’s career path, one should insist on the original goals and dreams, keep learning updated knowledge and skills, refuse to be haunted by temporary interest and reward, but to be diligent and surefooted. In the movie, Andy finally became outstandingly qualified for her job and got trust from Miranda. But she gave up the glamorous job in fashion industry and in turn pursued her original dream. This once again reflects her strong executive ability.3.Leadership styleA big selling point of the film is Meryl Streep’s wonderful performance playing the role of the “devil”. As the editor in chief of a well-known fashion magazine, Miranda shows very unique leadership style and management method to her employees (Dunphy, 2009). For example, all tasks assigned by Miranda properly present the huge workload and pressure in fashion industry. Assistants must correctly record numerous tasks and complete them on time without a break. When he assigned work, she never explained any details and told her subordinates they should figure out by themselves. She never made any comments on her subordinates’ work, and firmly criticized those unsatisfactory work. All these highlight a cold, arrogant, strong, bossy and impersonal Iron Lady image (Srivastava et al, 2006).Miranda’s leadership performance conform to the style with lowest care for people and highest care for production in the theory of management style. Such a style just corresponds with the leadership style of task management, which means making the team to realize highly efficient operation and reducing interference of human factors to the lowest degree (Holcomb, 2005). In fact, Miranda’s leadership style and her talent on fashion help her to establish the authentic position in fashion industry and make Runway magazine become a representative of American fashion (Smith, 2009). Of course, in real society with intense competition, especially the fashion world with extremely fast capital and talent flow, such leadership style may not attract most excellent designers and assistants. If Miranda is regarded as a charismatic banner with strong gathering force of industry resources, her arrogance and peremptoriness will hinder her to make the best decision.4. Organizational cultureOrganizational culture refers to the entity of all group consciousness accepted by all team members, including values, behavioral principles, group awareness, thinking mode, working style, psychological expectations, sense of belonging etc. (Boddy, 2009). In order to get involved into an organization, a person should think and behave according to the organization’s consistent ways and principles, let himself or hersel f integrated into the organizational culture, so as to smoothly conduct work and gainexpected performance. All of these are the influence of organizational culture to its members (Dunphy, 2009). In addition to this, current condition of a certain organizational culture also links closely to its origin. For example, organizational culture of Runway magazine in the movie inevitably has a very close correlation with various values of the fashion industry (Abrahamson, 1996).In the movie, Andy meant to seek f or an editor’s position in NYC after graduation from university with a degree of Journalism. She believed that it was the inner mind that matters, dressing up was of no importance. Therefore, during the first a few days in the fashion magazine office, she paid little attention to the study of fashion culture. When she met difficulties in work and was very frustrated, with the help of other, she soon realized that her working attitude to the fashion field was too random. She always did things in accordance with her consistent style, but failed to try her best in workplace. Since then, she changed her modeling and clothing, and gradually learned to choose fashion products with acute senses. As a result, she got involved in the organization and better completed her work.As a matter of fact, the in-depth connotation of her change is that she changed her mind and actively got involved into the organizational culture. She no longer resisted fashion culture and even practiced it in daily life and work. She also accepted some specific organizational behaviors formed by her boss’s unique leadership style. She actively overcame the influence of human factors and followed the organizational expectations to work, thus she obtained the positive effect (Griffin & Moorhead, 2011). It can be seen that organizational culture does has huge influence to employees.5. Human resource managementWhen human resource department fulfills its functions, a very important work is to make HR plan (Armstrong, 2003). From the perspectives of recruitment and training, the fundamental point of recruiting new employees is releasing detailed job descriptions, including basic requirements for qualification and competency model;during the interview, interviewers should effectively adopt all kinds of methods to examine applicants (Boddy, 2009).Maybe due to the plot setting, these stages are neglected in the movie. Miranda’s interview on Andy is very simple and random. The reason why Miranda hired her is because she wanted to use someone different. In the reality, it is almost impossible. Of course, Andy later proved herself as an outstanding employee, which shows that people need time and opportunities to perform their potential.Another necessary stage in modern workplace is new staff training. It makes new employees to be familiar with the organizational culture and relevant technical learning before conducting work formally, which can help new staff rapidly adapted to the organization and improve their work efficiency (Champoux, 1999). It seems that Runway magazine failed to hold good staff trainings, especially the trainings on the boss’s assistant, because this position requires very strong working ability and comprehensive quality. Even as excellent as Andy, she still suffered a lot from the high-speed, difficult and pressed work at the beginning. Andy’s “training” was held in an extremely unadapt environment, which also resulted in the decline of organizational performance. In a word, Runway’s HR was very incompetent.6. ConclusionAll in all, the movie The Devil Wears Prada contains a lot of valuable management knowledge in modern workplace, including team roles and team management, leadership style, organizational culture and human resource management. It is not hard to find these concepts and theories, but the extensive thinking and analysis is where the real value lies. Therefore, another realistic and serious problem appears, what kind of life do you want, what is your career goal. Many films including this one naturally adopted all kinds of methods to differentiate an original moderate answer into the two extremes, just like Andy chose to resign the job but Miranda still worked as an iron lady. It is difficult to make a balance in life, maybe the key is never regret after selection.References:Abrahamson, E. (1996). Management fashion.

浅析电影《穿普拉达的女王》中的职场理念电影《穿普拉达的女王》讲述的是一个刚刚毕业的安迪(Andrea)在《时尚》杂志工作的经历,其中涵盖了很多职场理念。
本文将结合电影剧情浅析《穿普拉达的女王》中的职场理念。
一、职业道德在剧中,主人公安迪面对工作与生活的压力时,很容易迷失自己的职业道德,为了升职、获得分离而违背职业操守。
安迪在拍摄Miryam·阿达哈的采访时,由于担心影响杂志销量,而曲意迎合Miryam·阿达哈,最终导致采访内容不真实、失真,从而引发了很多纠纷。
这种情况在现实中非常普遍,在职场中遇到艰难的抉择时,应该树立正确的职业道德观,不断提高自己的职业操守,在工作中保持清醒的头脑,坚持做出正确的决策。
二、适应性在电影中,安迪一开始并不适应《时尚》杂志的工作环境,经常忙到让生活几乎丧失平衡,还遇到叫人无法忍受的老板——米兰达·普莱斯(Miranda Priestly)。
不过,渐渐地,安迪逐渐适应了这个环境,学会了与米兰达·普莱斯相处的技巧,也在这个过程中不断提升自己的能力。
适应性是职场中非常重要的一点,要学会适应工作环境、上司和同事,不断调整自己来达到更好的效果。
三、团队精神在电影中,安迪反感她所处的团队,认为“时尚编辑” 这份工作很浅薄,并不是让她所憧憬的的“真正经验” 。
但最终,她通过自己的优秀表现,也获得了团队成员的认可和尊重。
在职场中,团队精神很重要,团队协作和默契程度可以直接影响工作的效率和效果。
要尊重和珍视团队成员,乐意分享和学习经验,肯定和帮助别人的努力,共同完成团队任务,才能建立牢固的职场关系。
四、管理沟通影片中还有一个很关键的场景,就是米兰达·普莱斯在主管会议上反复提到Matthew·Bloomfield的名字,要求他加入公司。
当Matthew·Bloomfield得知这件事后,拒绝了米兰达·普莱斯的邀请,为此,安迪被委以重任,要求她去解决这件事。
