For subordinates, opportunities are like fish around them, which are fleeting. Only those who have won the appreciation of the leaders will return home with a full load.
how to gain the appreciation of leaders? (a) more contact with the leadership, strengthen communication, enhance understanding
get the appreciation of the leadership, and become the intimate person of the leadership, which requires more communication with the leadership. Contact with leaders requires enough courage and natural behavior. The road is made by human effort, and the channels close to leadership should be actively created, and emotional investment will get twice the result with half the effort.
"If you are near Zhu Zhechi, you will be black if you are near Mexico" contains the truth that if you have more contact with a person or a group of people, you may be assimilated. The same is true of getting along with leaders. Leaders generally have their own set of working ideas, styles and methods. Most of the people he appreciates and reuses are people who are the same as their own routines. Such subordinates are "easy to use" and do not have to explain everything over and over again. In order to achieve this state, subordinates must appear around the leaders, strengthen communication and enhance understanding.
There is the disadvantage of "the leader is divorced from the masses" in the work, which is often criticized in newspapers or articles, but there is also the disadvantage of "subordinates are divorced from the leadership". We really should make up for the lack of criticism from various media here, and we really shouldn't be divorced from the leadership.
Looking around, there are roughly the following types of people who are divorced from the leadership, have little contact with the leadership and lack communication: first, people who rely on their talents and are arrogant, self-righteous, unwilling to communicate with the leadership, and consciously can do without leadership; Second, honesty and integrity, afraid of people who have more contact with the leaders and cause "suspicion" and "gossip", these people often fail to get the appreciation of the leaders; Third, the technical subordinates who are at a very low level, in the "front line", stick to specific affairs and simple labor, and lack opportunities to contact with leaders; Four, the level is low, there are few opportunities to take on heavy responsibilities, and leaders don't often pull around to arrange tasks.
From the utilitarian perspective, people who are divorced from leaders, have little contact with leaders and communicate with them lose the opportunity to take on heavy responsibilities, show their talents and "be effective" because they are far away from the vision of leaders, which has caused great disadvantages to their own development. When evaluating professional titles, promotion and distribution of benefits, leaders naturally do not pay attention to them, and often suffer losses. This can be said to be an attitude and behavior that is not responsible for your own future and development.
In China, a country with strong traditional ideas, too much contact with leaders is a big taboo in officialdom, which has long been a dogma that binds people's thoughts and progress. People who have too much contact with leaders may be called flattery or even "lackeys" if they are not careful. In this context, some honest and capable people have delayed their great prospects because they are divorced from the leadership, while some people who are not strong in ability but good at "taking the upper line" are frank and prosperous. Therefore, this kind of thinking and concern is really unfavorable to one's own development, and it is undoubtedly giving opportunities to others and leaving misfortune to oneself.
how to increase contact with leaders and enhance understanding? First, we need to have enough courage.
This kind of courage should not only make you dare to get along with the leaders and exchange work opinions on an equal footing, but also enable you to remove obstacles and resist stupid criticisms from colleagues.
when a unit holds a celebration banquet on a festival, other wine tables are full, but the table where the director sits is deserted and he is alone, just like "being alone". At this time, two young men came in, and the director greeted them and sat together. One of them looked around and smiled inexplicably, then turned his head and sat at other tables. The other hesitated and sat with the director. The director shook his head uncomfortably and sighed, "I don't even dare to have dinner with me. I still want to be a big deal."
This is my personal experience, and the thought-provoking words of the Director still reverberate in my ears. If you don't have enough courage, as the director said, you can't achieve anything big.
second, contact with leaders should be natural.
Many people are not too hard-minded, timid, timid, unnatural in speech and behavior in front of leaders, and often self-defeating because of excessive tension. This kind of "communication" has a poor effect and even leaves a bad impression on leaders.
relaxed and natural psychology and behavior are a good expression of a person's comprehensive quality. Leaders are neither "gods" nor "immortals". What is there to be afraid of? A young lady's face is always red when reporting to the leader, her voice is trembling, she dare not look up at the leader's eyes, and when she is nervous, she scatters her cards all over the floor. This is simply a painful process. Later, in order to alleviate the pain of the lady's mess, the leader changed her job that didn't need to be reported frequently.
third, create contact opportunities and strive for leadership.
if you want to fully understand leaders, you must have all kinds of opportunities. These opportunities are "investments". Asking more questions, reporting more and discussing more at work is a "work investment"; It is even more necessary to increase "emotional investment" beyond 8 hours. We will focus on emotional investment here.
People are both rational creatures and emotional creatures, and a notable feature of China's leading group is that they attach importance to emotional contact. Although "cronyism" is not a good employment mechanism, it is impossible to get rid of it in a short time for various reasons. Relatives, cronies, secretaries, drivers, old classmates, old comrades-in-arms, fellow villagers, old subordinates and other people who have deep feelings with leaders are often reused. Therefore, some people summed up their experience and said, "Kung Fu should be put out of work".
There are many channels for emotional investment. All roads lead to Rome, and any channel can deepen the feelings with leaders. The more channels there are, the more effective the all-round investment will be and the better the relationship with leaders will be. These channels are as follows:
Strengthen contact with leaders' families, and lose no time to visit; Caring and considerate leadership in life; Increase contact by playing cards, playing chess, playing ball and dancing; Chatting with leaders; Be loyal at work, and be in trouble with leaders.
Fourth, pay attention to the emotions of colleagues.
So-and-so has too much contact with the leader, and the leader often assigns tasks. Other colleagues are bound to be jealous, uncomfortable and dishonest, and all kinds of slanders will follow, ranging from those who talk behind their backs to those who mock in their faces. This requires sufficient mental preparation and courage to face all this. At the same time, it is even more necessary to win the appreciation of the leaders, and at the same time, blend in with the masses and lay a good foundation for the masses. Doing a good job in both the "upper line" and the "lower line", making a few "close friends" and more intimate people among the masses can enhance the power to resist all kinds of slander and jealousy.
(2) Be good at performance and sell your advantages to leaders
Being competent is better than being able to perform. Leaders like to be diligent and clean; Subordinates should be good at looking at eyes and acting; Show yourself in public and let everyone take it orally; The advantages shown should be in line with the appetite of the leaders.
trees have different heights, and people have different lengths. Leaders appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of their subordinates, not their shortcomings and shortcomings. Many people are indeed eloquent or hard-working, but the leaders don't think much of them. The reason is that these people are not good at performance, can't express themselves, and have no knowledge of performance.
Sun Wei is a very capable and expressive minister under Yuan Taizu. Sun Wei is good at making armor. In order to attract Yuan Taizu's attention, he offered his own tendon-feathered armor. Yuan Taizu Temujin personally shot this armor, but it failed to penetrate. Mao was very happy, and gave Sun Wei the name of Mongolia or Wulan, and let him wear a gold symbol, giving him the post of general manager of craftsmen in Shuntian, Anping, Huaidu, Henan and Pingyang. Sun Wei fought with Yuan Taizu, and he was very brave. He always fought with arrows and took the lead. Mao saw it in his eyes, rejoiced in his heart, and was eager for love. He comforted Sun Wei and said, "Even if you don't care about your body, don't you think about my armor and helmet?" And asked the humanity of his men wearing a helmet made by Sun Wei: "Do you know what I love most?" None of the generals' answers satisfied him. Yuan Taizu finally said, "Isn't it the armor made by Sun Wei that can protect you and make contributions to the enemy's killing in our country? And you didn't get to the point. Why? " To show my love for Sun Wei, I gave him my robe.
I am good at showing my strengths and advantages, which not only shows my expertise, but also shows my ability and intelligence in dealing with the world. Which leader doesn't like subordinates who can do both things and come to the meeting? Sun Wei won Yuan Taizu's appreciation with his skill and courage. If he can only make armor; Knowing the armor-making technology, but not recommending himself to Yuan Taizu, then the role of his armor may not be recognized by people, and its application will not be promoted. Sun Wei can only be an unknown person. It can be seen that it is very important to be good at performance.
(3) Seize the critical moment to solve some difficult problems and show your talents
At some important moments, leaders will also encounter some difficult problems. If at this critical moment, when other colleagues are at a loss, you step forward and solve the problem, then not only your colleagues will admire you, but your leaders will think highly of you.
In our daily life, we often hear some people complain about "falling off the chain at a critical moment", and such subordinates will not be liked by leaders, and things like "smashing pots" abound.
Ma Su, a general under Zhuge Liang, has made many meritorious deeds. However, he left a regret for his carelessness. Sima Yi sent troops to attack the throat fortress of Jieting, which provided a good opportunity for the generals to show their talents. Ma Su also took the initiative to ask for guarding the Jieting at this critical moment. Zhuge Liang was well aware of the strategic significance of street kiosks, and reminded him: "Although the street kiosks are small, they are very important: if the street kiosks are lost, our army will rest." Although you are well versed in strategy, there is no fortress and no obstacles here, so it is extremely difficult to keep it. " Ma Su was eager to make contributions and made a written pledge to fulfill a military order, but his idea didn't come true. The street pavilion fell? Disrupted Zhuge Liang's plan to leave Qishan, Ma Su not only failed to make meritorious deeds, but also lost his life. However, Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi who went with him did a good job, without losing the soldiers, and also ensured the safety of military assets, which won the favor of Kong Ming. Kong Ming personally led the generals out to meet Zhao Yun and said, "I don't know the wise and stupid, so this is the case! Soldiers everywhere will be defeated, but Zilong will ride alone. Why? " Deng Zhi replied: "A certain soldier led first, and Zilong was alone, and the enemy was frightened, so the military assets were never abandoned." Kong Ming praised, "What a general!" Zhao Yun was also given 5 Jin of gold, and 1, pieces of silk were given to Zhao Yun's soldiers. Zhao Yun refused, and Kong Ming was even more respectful. He sighed, "When the first emperor was in Japan, he often called the virtue of the dragon, and now it is like this!"
At the same moment and opportunity, Ma Su botched things, but Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi managed things well. One of them broke Kong Ming's heart and the other won his appreciation and admiration. Therefore, at the critical moment, they showed that they had a lot of experience to sum up.
the problems at the critical moment can test people the most. Some subordinates do have talents, but they are afraid of difficulties and dare not stand up at a critical moment, and their talents will not be discovered. Mao Sui can be said to be our teacher in this respect. I volunteered to negotiate and cooperate with Ping Yuanjun in the military affairs of Chu, but Ping Yuanjun talked with the king of Chu for a long time without any results, mainly because the king of Chu had some concerns and made up his mind. Seeing that the negotiation was going to end in failure, the other 19 people who accompanied him unanimously mobilized themselves, and it was time to test him. Mao Sui mustered up all his courage, pressed his sword and asked Ping Yuanjun, "Take advantage of what is at stake, but make up your mind in two words. If you say it today, you can't decide between Japan and China. Why? " When the King of Chu learned that Mao Sui was Ping Yuanjun's aide, he was furious and said, "Hu can't go down! I am talking with you, and you are what you are! " Mao Sui was humiliated but unambiguous. He approached the king of Chu with his sword and persuaded him with his golden tongue. Ping Yuanjun's mission to Chu was accomplished. This trip to Chu made Ping Yuanjun realize the value of Mao Sui, and praised him: "Mr. Mao's arrival in Chu made Zhao more important than Jiuding Dalu. Mr. Mao regarded Mao Sui as a distinguished guest because he had a three-inch tongue and was in the millions. Although Mao Sui was talented, Jian showed great courage here, and it can be said that he succeeded only by combining wisdom and courage. You can't succeed without wisdom or courage. Mr. Bacon once said a passage related to this: "If the question is: What is the most important talent in politics? Then the answer is: first, bold, second, bold, third, or bold. Similarly, if you want to ask the question: what is the thing that gets the appreciation of the leaders at the critical moment? Then the answer is: first, courage; Second, courage; Third, it is still courage. "
be good at grasping critical moments to gain the trust and attention of leaders. On the one hand, you should be good at discovering certain critical moments, on the other hand, you should be good at turning certain moments into critical moments and creating critical moments. Generally speaking, there are mainly the following situations at the critical moment:
First, it is very important for the leader to do a good job when the superior sends his subordinates a difficult and influential task. The subordinates should go all out to help the leader complete the task successfully, and should not stand idly by.
Second, when other colleagues are busy with certain things and are understaffed but have many things to do, they should also take on more tasks and do everything well in an orderly manner, so leaders will naturally look at it and enjoy it, so don't shirk their responsibilities.
Third, when encountering unexpected emergencies and the leaders and most colleagues can't come up with a solution, you should make suggestions calmly and steadily, solve the problem well, and show your superior talents.
fourthly, if you have just arrived at a company or transferred a new leader, seize this important opportunity to promote yourself.
Fifth, when a leader is in adversity, if you can lend him a helping hand when he needs the support and help of his subordinates most. It's hard to buy a gift in the snow, and the icing on the cake is worthless. There is a certain truth.
grasping the critical moment is the embodiment of one's ability. Some subordinates don't necessarily have anything extraordinary at ordinary times, but in some occasions where leaders are very concerned, he has performed perfectly and is appreciated by the leaders. It cannot be said that he is brilliant.
As long as you are intelligent and brave, and you are good at expressing yourself at critical moments, it will be easy for you to gain the appreciation of the leaders.
