How to address a leader you don’t know

Just call him – Leader! And I can tell you that even if you come to know his name in the future, unless it’s something like Manager Wang or Director Wang…… you should definitely not call him Worker Wang or anything similar. Unless he explicitly asks not to be called “Leader”…… You should know that the best way to address him is simply “Leader”; this title implies submission, because “Leader” is actually a verb, while terms like Director or Manager are just nouns. By constantly calling him “Leader,” you’re implying that he can directly lead you, and you’ll be willing to obey him wholeheartedly. Over time, he will feel the urge to lead you directly…… Only the most obedient subordinates are good subordinates, as they help ensure that his ideas are implemented, which is beneficial for the entire company. ] This post was last edited by automation_njut on 2009-3-5 at 19:48

This is a good question that is well worth considering by everyone. There will be many answers.

I don’t quite agree with what was said on the second floor. Anyway, here, if someone I don’t know works in production, they’re called so-and-so Worker, while those in administrative roles are called so-and-so Manager :)

I think I should say “Hello.” ”If you run into them, just say that. If there’s a problem, it’s also “Hello, XXXXXXXXXXXXX”

When meeting and greeting leaders or people you don’t know, saying “Hello” is the safest option.

When meeting someone and greeting them, it’s safest to say “Hello”; this will make your supervisor think you are polite.

The person in charge of a department is called a manager, while those in charge of a workshop are called directors; P

I agree with what was said on the second floor: if you don’t know someone, just call them a leader. It’s better to refer to those in lower positions such as team leaders or moderators as leaders as well……

It is indeed a problem; it’s awkward if you use the wrong title. Simply put, it’s commonly referred to as “leader”; when greeting them, one says, “Hello, leader!” ”.

If you don’t know them, just say hello to the leader!

What is a good title for those working in technology, and what is a suitable title for managers?

It’s very simple: if it happens in the morning, it’s “morning””； At other times, it’s “Hello”. Actually, I am the kind of person who, whether or not the leader knows me, handles things in this way under normal circumstances. Perhaps this is why I can’t become an official.

It is indeed a very practical problem. If you join a large company, there are many people you don’t know, including managers and senior engineers, etc. The way you address someone is indeed very important. You need to be more careful in your daily work and ask the senior employees around you more often.

It’s still better to say “Hello”. I don’t think it’s appropriate to call them “leader”. The original poster already mentioned that this situation can be divided into two cases: in one case, you don’t know whether they are a leader or not, so it’s sufficient to simply say “Hello”; in the other case, you know they are a leader but don’t know their last name. In such a situation, it’s okay to call them “leader”, but I still think “Hello” is the more appropriate choice

Thank you! It’s safer to be a leader; otherwise, if you’re not a leader but act like one, it will be very awkward!

Greet warmly; saying “Hello” is the safest and most polite option.

To say hello, use “Hello” and add some body language, such as a slight nod of the head, etc. It’s enough to let them know that you are greeting them~

You can address them as Director So-and-So, or simply call them master. If they are around the same age, you can use terms like sister, brother, or senior brother/sister.

I agree. It’s the same in my company as well – a few people are called Mr. Li or Director Dong, while the rest are all referred to by their job titles. I feel it’s not right to just call them leaders
