Workplace Experience: Leaders' confidants do this in the workplace! You don't know how to get a promotion
There are two types of people in the workplace, one is the confidant that the leader likes, and the other is the other people the leader doesn't like and can't talk about.
Many people think that as long as they work hard in the workplace and create value for the company, the company will definitely give them a promotion and a raise. But in fact, the opportunity for promotion and salary increase always falls on the leader's henchmen, and what he gets in exchange is nothing but loss and disappointment.
In fact, the difference between the leader's confidant and us is the way he does things, but it is these differences that cause the current results.
So how do leaders' henchmen do it?
- Consider the problem from the perspective of the leader ==========================================================
To consider problems from the perspective of leaders is not to solve and analyze problems at a higher level. Rather, it is necessary to consider the problem at the level of the leader's interests.
Xiao Zhu has been with Vice President Liu for more than ten years, and has been his capable leader since Vice President Liu was still in charge. Xiao Zhu is often promoted soon after Vice President Liu is promoted. The reason is, of course, that Xiao Zhu's work ability is strong. However, there are many capable people in the company, only Xiao Zhu has such achievements.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Xiao Zhu can bring the benefits he needs to Vice President Liu. At work, Xiao Zhu can create a lot of achievements for Vice President Liu and lay the foundation for the promotion of Vice President Liu. Moreover, Xiao Zhu also knew what Vice President Liu needed, so he provided what. For Vice President Liu, the existence value of Xiao Zhu is not only a capable general under his command, but also a blessing general who can send him a promotion.
In the workplace, do not think that the interests of the company and the interests of the leadership are always the same. As long as people have their own selfish interests and create benefits for the company, the company may not remember you, but to create his own personal interests for the leader, the leader will definitely keep it in mind.
- Credit goes to the top, no credit goes to oneself ====================================================
In the workplace, everyone has the instinct to seek benefits and protect themselves, which is understandable. If you do the same as everyone else, how can you stand out and become the leader's confidant?
There are two things that made Xiao Zhu enter the eyes of Vice President Liu, and let Vice President Liu treat Xiao Zhu as a confidant.
The first thing, the company arranged a project for Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Zhu worked overtime by himself. The final result was very good and won unanimous praise from Party A. At the final award, it was Vice President Liu, who was still in charge, who got the first credit. The reason is that after Xiao Zhu finished it, he handed it over to Vice President Liu for review. After obtaining approval, he signed the first person to Vice President Liu.
The second thing, Vice President Liu made mistakes because of the project in hand during the competition for the department manager. This result will directly lead to the failure of his competition. However, Xiao Zhu came out and took the initiative to take the responsibility midway, and served as a disaster for Vice President Liu. Therefore, Vice President Liu successfully passed the competition and completed the promotion.
In the workplace, since you want to become a leader's confidant, it is essential to put the leader's interests first. But this is not just words, but real actions. If you have made a contribution, you should give it to the leader, and if you have a problem, you should also consider taking the initiative to take the initiative. As long as you remember that your backers will not fall, you will always have a chance. This is also an opportunity for leaders to owe their favor, and in return, it is naturally a promotion and salary increase.
Of course, this is also a test of whether the leader is worth following.
- Only do what is in your own interest =======================================
The reason why many people in the workplace cannot get promotions and raises is largely because the things they do are not valuable. Many people feel that work is boring because of what they do every day, which seems useful, but has no value at all. The point is that what we do in the workplace is not in our own interests.
Although Xiao Zhu is regarded as a confidant by the leader, he also has his own small abacus. It's good to help Vice President Liu and let him get a promotion and a salary increase, but if it doesn't benefit him, why should he do it.
Therefore, Xiao Zhu has his own criteria for doing things. The first is good for yourself, which can be money, experience, new skills, or high-level connections. The second is the leader's interests. If his own interests and those of the leader cannot be unified, then he will not do this. Even if the leader arranged for him to do it, in the end he would report that he had done his best and failed to live up to the leader's expectations. In this way, he can help Vice President Liu obtain promotion capital while laying the foundation for his subsequent promotion. At the same time, it also avoids the possibility of being thrown out by Vice President Liu as a black pot.
Therefore, in the workplace, choosing something should not only depend on your mood and preferences, but also what kind of benefits it can bring to you. If the benefits are of little use, then don't do it. Secondly, if you want to obtain benefits, you must also link up with the interests of others, especially the leaders, so that you will have enough support and not be held back.
This is the difference between the leaders and confidants in what we do. We hope that they can help us reverse the concept of the workplace and provide support for promotion and salary increase.
