'The leader told you to promote you, how should you behave? ': Performance VS No performance?
What is very gratifying is that many younger brothers and sisters who have mentored Sister Haoyou into the workplace are becoming more and more able to take care of themselves. Therefore, they will encounter a good opportunity for promotion and salary increase in the future.
So, when the leader tells you to promote you, in addition to being very excited, are you also worried about how you should behave?
"The leader told you to promote you, how should you behave?": Performance VS No performance?
"The leader needs to raise money" is of course a good thing, but don't act blindly, it's easy to dig a hole for yourself——
For example, a friend I know, the leader intends to transfer her to a larger project to be the project manager, but this friend did not talk about the door, and told everyone in advance. As a result, the original project leader of the family heard the news and took active action, but the matter was settled later. Do you think it was wrong or not?
For another example, when my original company changed its leader, the new leader was smeared in both eyes. Naturally, I hoped to have a caring person as soon as possible. At this time, a manager of the service department came forward very proactively. The leader thought it was good, so he promised him to be promoted. However, after the service manager was authorized, he showed off his power and caused public anger. The leader completely abandoned him after he really fell, and then he could only walk away in despair. Shouldn't this be wrong?
"The leader told you to promote you, how should you behave?": Performance VS No performance?
So, calm down. "Leaders need to be promoted" is like a company that wants to poach people with high salaries. They are both facing a good opportunity. In the face of opportunities, all we need is to evaluate opportunities, give timely feedback, pay attention to the confidentiality period, and actively strive for them.
First, evaluate opportunities and make choices that are right for you
The evaluation opportunity here has two meanings: one is the possibility of the opportunity; the other is whether it is suitable for you, the focus is on the second.
Although it is not ruled out that some leaders will eliminate dissidents by "praising and killing", but it is unlikely for us ordinary people to encounter them. In the end, the leaders are powerless. This is actually no longer within their own control. Doing this kind of assessment It is not meaningful.
However, realistically speaking, being promoted not only means promotion and salary increase, but also changes in job content, job responsibilities, and work rhythm. Frankly speaking, not all promotions are suitable for everyone. Therefore, the leader will consider whether you are suitable for this position from the perspective of your competency (including loyalty to the leader), but you need to consider your own career planning, personality characteristics and personal reality. Is it a good opportunity for you?
Second, timely feedback and clear demands are more efficient
When leaders say they want to promote you, it is recommended to give positive and clear feedback in a timely manner to let them know what you think.
If you really want to accept this promotion, then: first of all express your gratitude, and then make it clear that I am looking forward to my efforts, that is, accept the opportunity head-on, and finally ask the leader for his advice, such as what to pay attention to during this time and what you need to do What kind of preparation.
If you feel nervous and apprehensive when you hear the news, then: first thank you, then say that you are stressed and need to think about it. At this time, you can specify what your pressure is. For example, you feel that your ability is not enough, you feel that someone in the team is not satisfied, and you can listen to the leader's advice when you say it.
If you do not want to accept this opportunity, then you should also expressly reject it: first express your gratitude clearly, and then explain your reasons, such as your family situation, physical condition, and clearly reject it; at the same time, you should also express that no matter who gets promoted, Will try to cooperate.
Here, it’s not clear, and it’s the worst attitude to be humble while rejecting and wanting at the same time. Leaders are also likely to worry that you will fall off the chain at a critical moment, thus giving up the idea of promoting you.
Third, pay attention to the confidentiality period
No matter whether you agree or not, this matter should be kept secret, after all, it involves future work cooperation.
If you refuse, then treat it as if it didn't happen, and don't mention it in the future. It's very naive to show it off, and it's not good for the leader who wants to promote you. Moreover, what do you think of your future leader? Waiting for the new leader to dig a hole and wear small shoes?
If you are willing to accept or reach a consensus, then this matter has at least a confidentiality period. During the confidentiality period agreed with the leader, do not disclose it to anyone. Moreover, don’t pretend to be uneasy, even if the final official document confirms you. When there is news of a promotion, don't tell your colleagues that "the leader has already disclosed the news to promote me".
Fourth, actively strive for
If you really hope to get this opportunity, then after speaking with the leader, of course, you can't do nothing and wait for the opportunity to come. But how to do this specifically, don't think about it yourself, let alone think about it. At this time, you are on the same team as the leader who wants to promote you, and you will be embarrassed if you are a bad leader.
Therefore, in addition to not making some low-level mistakes, such as being late and leaving early, being arrogant, and making frequent mistakes in work, these are all impossible! It is best to touch your own plan with the leader: on the one hand, the leader knows a lot of information and knows which of your efforts are really useful; on the other hand, it is easy for you and the leader to cooperate with each other. success--
For example, in order to make the promotion easier to explain from top to bottom, what kind of performance do you need to accomplish in the near future?
For example, do you have any missing hardware from the position you were promoted to? How to make up for it?
For example, can your previous important performance be summed up as a replicable experience and become a new contribution point?
In short, prepare according to the two directions of "checking and filling vacancies" and "highlighting bright spots", then meet with the leaders, and formulate specific action plans based on the time requirements of being promoted (PS: These can be done quietly or with a by head, without fanfare).
Finally, let me say one more thing, if the leader fails to fulfill his promise, it is possible that the promotion will be smashed.
The world is unpredictable, and promotions are not necessarily something you can lead alone. Therefore, the practice during this period is really important. The purpose of the above suggestions is-
These preparations are an improvement for yourself: if you can take this opportunity to take an inventory of your previous work and make a plan for your future work, we will not be wasting our efforts on this matter.
In the days of mutual support with the leaders, the accumulated emotions themselves are harvests: maybe one day it will be useful, this time, maybe there will be a better chance next time.
Keep a low profile and avoid the relationship between future colleagues from becoming sensitive and complicated.
I hope the above sharing can be a reference for friends who have encountered good opportunities and are overwhelmed, and wish you a smooth career development!
