I wonder if he understood what I meant? I thought about it and felt that I didn’t seem to express my meaning completely clearly. You know, such a thing is a great pressure for anyone. Admit it.
If you don't admit it, you're definitely worried about being dealt with next, and if you don't admit it, you're also afraid of losing the trust of the leader.
Moreover, I realized that I had made a big mistake.
I shouldn't make such a mistake, it's all because my mind was too messed up just now.
At this moment, I really regretted it: How could I ask him such a question? If he really had something like the rumors, and if he really admitted it in front of me, wouldn't I be putting myself at risk too?
Put it in? You know, if I still promote him despite knowing that he has problems, if something happens to him in the future, I won't be able to run away! If I do this, won't I be causing trouble for myself?
Now, in front of me, he is extremely uneasy and confused, and there is sweat on his forehead.
That's fine. So far, I may have achieved the purpose and effect I originally wanted. Suddenly, I thought of this. So I immediately said to him softly: "Okay, Director Liang, you don't have to
Answer my question. Actually, I don’t want to know. But I hope that from now on you must pay attention to this issue. There are many ways for a person to make money, and the most inappropriate way is to use yourself
It is very dangerous to use the power in your hands to seek personal gain. Director Liang, you should believe that I have no intention of harming you when I come to talk to you today. On the contrary, I am doing it entirely for your own good. This life is very short.
Personal struggle and personal expression of life value are important, but I think nothing is more important than our own freedom. Whether it is for ourselves or for our parents, wives and children, this is something we should take a warning from.
Ah, Director Liang, I have no doubt about your ability, and I also believe that you will support my work more in the future. At the same time, I am more willing to believe that those rumors about you are just rumors. Liang
Director, I don't care about the past, but I have to think about your future, because I am responsible for your promotion this time. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
He said: "Director Feng, I..."
I stopped him immediately, "Okay. Our conversation is over. I said, I don't want to know anything about your past, and I also believe that you have no problems. Haha! Director Liang, in
I wish you well here. You go back and prepare well. It is estimated that within the next two days, the provincial education committee office will talk to you. That's it."
He was still dripping with sweat, "Director Feng, thank you. I won't say anything else. I will always remember your kindness to me. I will also keep in mind the words you told me today."
, you can rest assured."
I smiled at him and said, "Go ahead and get ready. I also want to drink your promotion wine as soon as possible."
He thanked me again and left.
I immediately called Man Jiangnan to my office.
Now I really feel the wonderful feeling of talking to my subordinates as a leader, especially a conversation like this about the promotion of my subordinates.
This kind of conversation is completely a kind of kindness mentality, and it also gives people the special happy mood after doing something good. But this kind of conversation is very different from simply doing good things, because it is a kind of power.
Showing kindness to subordinates. And this kind of kindness is a process of looking down, or a way of controlling subordinates.
Man Jiangnan is coming.
I feel a little strange about this person, because he never seems to have made any demands on me since I arrived here. He always does everything for me in obscurity, which makes me have to do this.
I thought of him when I was there. Of course, the words of the old director still played a role in this.
Therefore, he gave me an excellent impression. And I think his ability is impeccable, and the old director's words also deeply affected me. The old director said to me: Man Jiangnan's greatest advantage is loyalty.
Yes, for a leader, the loyalty of his subordinates is often more important in his heart.
I remember once seeing a fable: A certain family raised a gray-black chicken and a reed chicken. One day, the owner decided to kill one for his son's birthday. He called the chickens and asked them why they laid eggs.
The gray-black chicken said: I ate food, and I have an egg in my belly, so I must lay it; the reed chicken said: My life was given by my master, and I must know how to repay the favor and lay eggs for my master.
The owner asked them how many eggs they planned to lay this year. The gray-black chicken said: I don't know. If there are eggs in my belly, I will lay them. The reed chicken vowed: I will lay more eggs, lay good eggs, and contribute more to the owner.
The owner praised the reed chicken and tied up the gray-black chicken and killed it. In fact, the reed chicken never laid an egg.
This fable outlines several faces for people: There is a type of people who are honest, honest, hard-working, not lazy or slippery, not glib. They are not public, do not like socializing, are not good at getting close to leaders and building relationships. They do a lot of things and achieve great results.
There are quite a few, but sometimes they may not be widely known; there is also a type of people who are good at observing people's opinions and doing what others want, so they can have both sides. Although they have little actual achievements, they are sometimes proud of themselves, take advantage of them, and are favored by leaders who do not know the truth.
I used to be very confused. I always asked myself this question: For a leader, what does he value most is the ability of his subordinates or the loyalty of his subordinates? For a subordinate, does loyalty mean being responsible for things or for people?
Responsible? For a unit, who can get more development opportunities, those who can do things or those who can attend meetings?
In the final analysis, this is the question we often ask: In our workplace, should ability come first or loyalty come first?
To be honest, many years ago, when I heard the sentence "loyalty is more important than ability", I was very disgusted, because I thought this ignorant understanding had murdered many talents; when I heard this sentence a year ago
I still dismiss it because I feel that as long as I have the ability, I will shine wherever I go; but now, I have to admit that for leaders, this sentence is recognized to a considerable extent.
In fact, loyalty and ability are not opposites. Without certain ability, you will not be able to get on the stage, you will not be able to enter the leadership field, and you will not even have the qualifications and opportunities for loyalty. If ability is a ladder, loyalty is the ladder.
The direction and position of leaning.
I believe that the so-called loyalty is not just loyalty to the leader personally, but loyalty to one's own career. However, these are abstract, but leadership is concrete. Therefore, the loyalty of subordinates is often expressed as loyalty to the leader.
.
From the perspective of subordinates, they often show off their abilities; from the perspective of leaders, they often care about the loyalty of their subordinates. In daily work, leaders put the loyalty of their subordinates first, but in critical moments, leaders will still show off their abilities.
Don’t hesitate to use talented people.
In an organization, the leader is the decision-maker and commander, and the subordinates are the executors and obedients. Their common pursuit is to get things done. However, in the process of getting things done, leaders show their own control.
; In the process of accomplishing things, subordinates highlight their personal value. Leaders often do not understand the reality and do not know "what"; subordinates often do not understand the intention of decision-making and do not know "why". If the leader does not know what is going on, he can investigate;
However, subordinates do not know the inside story, but they cannot pry into it. In this case, what the leader needs is loyalty, and what the subordinates need is trust.
The relationship between leaders and subordinates is like concentric circles. In any unit, there is an invisible concentric circle. The center of the circle is the leader, and around the center are people who are loyal to the organization, the leader, and the profession. The closer to the leader, the
People with higher loyalty are not necessarily those with higher positions. Many senior managers deal with top leaders every day, but they may not be trusted by top leaders. Obviously, the closer to the center of the circle, the more likely it is that people will receive stable career returns.
There is another saying that seems more accurate: leadership activities are a "field", and the direction of the magnetic lines of this field is unique, all pointing to "north", which determines that subordinates cannot move in the opposite direction; at the same time, this field is still moving, and subordinates and leaders
You have to keep in sync. If you take a slower beat, you will be out, and if you take a faster step, you will be out.
Some people also say: "Seven points of loyalty, three points of ability", "Loyalty is the first competitiveness". Zhao Yun in "Three Kingdoms" is modest and prudent, low-key in dealing with things, knows how to be grateful, has high loyalty and super ability. He is known as
Modern people consider it a model for the workplace.
Zhao Yun is a rare encounter in the real workplace. When it is impossible to have the cake and eat it too, leaders will most likely choose to unite subordinates with low ability and high loyalty.
Lack of ability can be improved through exercise, but loyalty is more of an attitude.
Some people also say that loyalty should be reflected in four aspects: first, be consistent with the leader in thinking, you can have no thoughts, but you cannot be without the leader's thoughts; second, be consistent in action, be able to be the first to do so without hesitation
Execute the leader's intention conscientiously, accept tasks without asking the reason, and perform tasks without negotiating the price; third, it is exclusive. For subordinates, the leader is the only and all one, and cannot swing around. Fourth, to withstand the test, the leader will always consciously refuse to give up.
Consciously test the loyalty of subordinates.
Therefore, steel can be made by repeated tempering. So for people in the workplace, we are faced with the test of loyalty every moment, and at the same time, another problem that troubles us comes one after another: Loyalty means being honest about things.
Responsible, or responsible to people?
In fact, most leaders sometimes despise public morality and value private morality. This is a kind of helplessness in the workplace, but it is also an objective reality. The leader's preference for the subordinate's handling style is actually based on the leader's omnipotent human nature.
Based on the assumption, "Listen to me, yes." Experience-based leaders will definitely like their subordinates to be diligent in asking for instructions and reporting everything; leaders who are good at delegation will pay more attention to the achievements of their subordinates and will not interfere in the process.
Therefore, this preference of the leader determines that the behavioral choices of subordinates can only be: they must be able to do things, and preferably they must also be able to do things.
Kang Demao is the type of person who can do things. In fact, he can also do things. But he is so good at doing things that he even goes to the extent of doing things regardless of the target. In the final analysis, this is a problem of insufficient loyalty. So he
That’s why we ended up like this. (To be continued)
