People often say: "One soldier is full, and one general is full." There is also a saying that "one general is incompetent to exhaust the three armies", which shows how important a good leader is to those who are in the workplace.

But people always say good and mediocre, but what is a good leader and what is a mediocre leader? After working in the workplace for many years, I took stock of several behaviors. If you are a leader, which type are you in? If you are an employee, what kind of leader do you encounter?

attitude towards subordinates

1. The attitude of a good leader

Excellent leaders understand that although work is a subordinate, it is essentially a cooperative relationship, so they will take care of their subordinates and understand empathy, which is more likely to motivate the enthusiasm of their subordinates.

Cultivate subordinates, focus on cultivating subordinates' abilities, make career plans for subordinates, respect willingness to put the right people in the right position, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, and enable subordinates to fully demonstrate their own value.

Cultivating subordinates is the characteristic of excellent managers, and they are never afraid of the occurrence of "church apprentices starve their masters to death" because they are constantly improving.

2. The attitude of mediocre leadership

Mediocre leaders often regard their subordinates as a tool for their own promotion, fully demonstrating their wisdom and extracting the available value of their subordinates to the extreme. Not only that, but also often feel that subordinates are not dedicated enough, and always find their problems in various ways.

Stubborn and arbitrary, always thinking that his decision-making ideas are right, but ignoring that it is the subordinates who specifically implement them, failing to meet his own satisfaction, becoming emotionally serious, criticizing subordinates at every turn, and even scolding them.

The biggest characteristic of mediocre managers is that they step on their subordinates to climb up, and even depreciate their subordinates and find out their problems to show that they are smart enough. Jealousy can suppress subordinates, never listen to rationalized suggestions, or compete with subordinates for merit.

performance in difficult times

1. Excellent leadership performance

When encountering difficulties and problems, excellent leaders often show their responsibility, have the courage to assume their own responsibilities, and guide their subordinates on how to overcome difficulties and solve problems, and rationally arrange the work between subordinates.

Although they all hope that the work tasks will be smooth sailing, in fact, there will always be various difficulties and problems. At this time, being able to step into the game to solve problems, overcome difficulties, and take responsibility is the performance of an excellent leader.

Excellent managers know that responsibility and power are associated products, and the greater the responsibility, the greater the power. If you have the courage to take on your own mistakes, and your subordinates will do things, you will have no worries.

2. The performance of mediocre leaders

What a mediocre leader is best at is to let subordinates "take the blame", and also "paint cakes" for subordinates, and tell them how to take this painted cake to satisfy their hunger, and then escape what they should bear. responsibility.

Some managers even deliberately create conflicts between subordinates to achieve checks and balances, so that the two sides overthrow each other, and eventually the subordinates evade their responsibilities by internal friction.

Mediocre leaders rarely think about how to do things well, and always focus on people. Therefore, the result is that the performance can be average, but the position must be stable.

Behavior in the face of interests

1. Behaviors of good leaders

Everyone has a selfish side, and good leaders are no exception, but the difference is that good leaders know how to "take three and give seven", keep three points for themselves, and give the rest to their subordinates. Whoever works part-time is not to gain more A lot of benefits, but being able to know how to take what you deserve in the face of benefits and let others get what they deserve is the hallmark of a good manager.

A good manager will not only lead everyone to make money, but also know how to divide the money. It is not how to share more on a piece of cake, but to make the cake bigger. Even if you only get the three points you deserve, it will be better than before. many.

2. The behavior of mediocre leaders

A mediocre leader only cares about whether his own vested interests can be obtained, and does not care whether the interests of his subordinates can be satisfied. Anyway, this society has never lacked talents. If you don’t do it, there will always be someone else.

A mediocre manager will always share more of the original pie, never consider how to make the pie bigger and get more, and subordinates are just tools for their own benefit, not their own partners. They will not fight for the interests of their subordinates, and even sacrifice their share for their own interests.

The behavior of subordinates reflects the level of leadership

1. Facing the behavior of excellent leaders and subordinates

In the face of excellent managers, subordinates are active in doing things, do things voluntarily, and even treat their work as a career. When subordinates are willing to follow up, their behavior is "delayed gratification". things get done.

A virtuous circle can be formed between the superior and the subordinate, the subordinates work hard, the superior strives for the interests of the subordinates, and each performs its own duties, and the team machine can operate more effectively and normally.

2. The behavior of subordinates in the face of mediocrity

In the face of mediocre leaders, it is normal for subordinates to do things negatively. The most typical behaviors are to be late, to leave early, to be inefficient at work. When encountering problems, they do not think about how to solve things first, but how to protect themselves and gain vested interests.

The superiors and subordinates each have their own careful thinking, not only the work efficiency is low, but there is even a "responsibility virus". They only pay attention to the one-third of an acre of land within their responsibilities. The extra things are not unwilling to do, but they are afraid to do. Fear of taking responsibility for yourself. When the building toppled, not a speck of dust fell on him.

write at the end

In the workplace, excellent managers are hard to come by, but mediocre leaders can be seen everywhere. In the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only pros and cons. In the end, there are fewer and fewer excellent managers, and the more mediocre managers more and more. As Buffett said: No one wants to make himself rich slowly, but rush to make himself poor. Therefore, the mediocre will always be the majority, and the excellent will always be the minority.
