The company is preparing to promote a reserve cadre in each department to train as a middle-level management. The department manager, Lao Wang, thinks that the post-95 employee Xiao Li has performed well at work and is very calm. Today, I happened to take Xiao Li to meet customers. The two Chatted in the car. I don't want Xiao Li to get in the car to talk about various topics, too much to please the leaders, and also comment on the work of other backup cadres in the department. Pharaoh's face was dark all the way, and he decided not to recommend Xiao Li anymore after getting out of the car.

Some people say that Pharaoh is narrow-minded and ruins the future of employees with just a few words in the car. However, when a leader promotes an employee, it is based on the performance of the person. Chatting in a small space like the car can better allow the leader to see the quality of the employee. If the employee can chat at a high level, the leader will definitely be impressed.

Leaders show indifference, don't force talk, listen more and talk less

The employee and the leader are in the same car. As soon as they get in the car, look at the leader's face. If the leader is indifferent or even black-faced, don't rush to speak at this time, and wait for the leader to calm down. Then, on the topic of "the next itinerary", he opened his mouth tentatively. The leader took it and eased it, indicating that the conversation could continue. If the leader's attitude is cold and the response is brief, then don't force the chat. The leader spoke, and we chatted along the topic. If it is the first time to ride with the leader and you don’t know the leader’s chat preferences, you should listen more and talk less, have a positive attitude, cater to the leader’s topic, and talk a little bit about your own thoughts when you are sure.

Don't talk about people, talk about things, talk about the work that leaders care about

When chatting with the leader in the car, don’t chat with people, especially colleagues, even if the leader comments on others, we can only nod or cheer in response, just say that the leader is very accurate in seeing people, never add your own views on colleagues, say right or wrong It will offend people. It is one thing for leaders to comment on employees, but they will never like employees to make irresponsible remarks about colleagues.

When opening a topic, employees should talk more about work, especially the work that leaders are concerned about, such as work related to work formation, work that leaders often emphasize, core business work of the team, important work in department development, and so on. One is to show self-motivation, and the other is to let the leader know that we value the work he cares about.

Don't talk about topics that leaders dislike, talk about topics that leaders like

When chatting with the leader, be sure to observe the changes in the leader's expression to see which issues the leader prefers or dislikes. When a leader shows a cold attitude, a brief response, a slight leaning back, a frown or other changes in micro-expressions or demeanor on a topic, it means that the leader no longer wants to continue the conversation and change the topic.

If you know the topics that leaders like, such as hobbies, what events and news to pay attention to, and have a lot of research on a certain field of the industry, etc., then look for these topics to talk about. During the chat, the leader's rhetoric on a certain topic shows that he is good at it. At this time, he should be more supportive, express his admiration, and talk more along this topic.

Don't talk about hearsay, talk about career development topics

Do not talk about your hearsay without official verification, especially things related to the industry and the company. Once the leader finds out that it is not true, it will affect his judgment and decision-making, and the consequences will be very serious. You must talk about what you are sure of. thing. You can also chat with the leaders about their views on career development, listen to the leaders’ sharing, stand in a high position, and like to be a good teacher, so that the leaders can show off their status and development, and also let us learn from it. You can also put forward your current confusion and hope that the leadership will guide you.
