In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
01 Examine the characteristics of your leadership
Some leaders like that their subordinates can do things and can do things, but they do not like their subordinates to be talkative.
In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
Some leaders like overall control, but do not like subordinates to have their own ideas.
Some leaders like subordinates who can talk, and they like to listen to his flattering words.
The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are more leaders, of course, there are various expressions.
People in the workplace, no matter how capable you are, no matter how articulate you are, what ultimately determines your promotion is the leader's opinion of you.
Recognizing the essence of leadership is an important core of your understanding of intentions.
In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
02Look at Da Ming's experience, you can compare yourself
The fact is that my friend, Daming, is actually quite fond of him by the leaders. However, Da Ming has never been able to get a promotion opportunity, and the latecomers who are less senior than him have also been promoted, and Da Ming is still waiting for the opportunity in the post of supervisor.
There is important work in the department, and the leaders are usually handed over to Daming. The meaning of the leaders is very clear. I am relieved that Daming works, but why not give him a promotion?
We can take a look at this.
In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
Leader: Daming, I want Xiao Zhang to go to the ** customer and communicate with the ** customer about cooperation.
Daming: Leader, Xiao Zhang can’t do it, Xiao Zhang#$%@$#@*—…
Leader: *^@%$#%**(&
I don't know if you will have a similar dialogue with the leader.
The leader discussed with you, in fact, the leader has basically decided on this matter, but you are better, and you keep trying to overturn the leader's decision.
It would be weird if the leadership liked you to do it.
In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
Through this case, we actually know the reason why the leaders did not promote Da Ming.
A lot of times, leaders approach you to discuss something on the surface, but in fact, you need to understand whether the leader has already made a decision, and what you need to do is to support the leader's decision, not to sing against the leader.
03 Let's take a look at Xiao Zhou's response
Xiao Zhou has only been in the department for less than half a year, and the leader promoted Xiao Zhou to be the supervisor.
Xiao Zhou himself does have a certain ability, and he does things easily. But the most important thing is that Xiao Zhou can always understand the leader's intention as quickly as possible.
In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
A regular department meeting:
Leader: I have an idea. From next month, we will break up the current grouping and try to combine them again;
A: Leader, I finally cooperated with Xiao Liu, and it's not good for me to work together.
B: Leader, I think breaking up will affect performance.
……
Xiao Zhou: Leader, I feel like I can try it. The current performance of the department is not very satisfactory. It simply breaks down and stands up. The key question is how to group. My opinion is....
In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
The leader took this matter to ask for opinions at the regular meeting. In fact, the leader can basically say that he has made a decision. At this time, what is needed is to see how this matter is operated, not to discuss whether this matter should be operated or not.
Other colleagues were really discussing whether this could be done, but Xiao Zhou understood the leader's intention and focused on how to do it.
Therefore, you can understand why the leaders like Xiao Zhou and promote Xiao Zhou.
04Understanding the boss and understanding the boss's intention is the way to survive in the workplace
In the workplace, even if you are talented, if you don't learn to figure out the intention of the leader, you will eventually be depressed.
My friend Lao Zhong often talks to me about his boss. He said that when the boss mentioned something for the first time, I usually ignored it. The boss just remembered it suddenly. If you spend time and energy on it, you will only be scolded by the boss.
When the boss mentioned this matter for the second time, I would take the initiative to pay attention to it, figure it out, and read the following developments at any time. When the boss mentions this for the third time, I will immediately come up with a plan and provide it to the boss.
In their group, Lao Zhong has always been a celebrity in front of the boss. Others can only be popular for three months in the first half of the year, but Lao Zhong can always stand. Understanding the boss is an important factor in Lao Zhong's success in the company.
