How do you deal with a boss younger than you?

The boss has two meanings, one refers to the person who is the boss, and the other refers to the position of the boss. Even if we do not respect the boss himself, we should respect the position of the boss.

The seat is a symbol of power and order. The Ming Dynasty statesman Zhang Juzheng once said that "where the seat is, the emperor is the most important", "the use of the lower is respectful and not flattering, this is the rationale for peace." You see, in ancient times, emperors changed one by one, but the emperor's hat would not be changed, but the person under the hat. It is not the person under the hat that people bow down to, but the hat.

From the boss's point of view, no matter what reason you have, organizational power and company order must be resolutely maintained.

So, the age of the "people under the hat" doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if they are weird, or even incompetent! The boss's incompetence is not a problem that subordinates should worry about, it's the boss's problem!

What's more, young age does not mean incompetence. Many people are unwilling to accept bosses younger than themselves, which is a kind of narrow-mindedness. The official account sold 100 million Li Beg, and when he became the vice president of Baidu, he was only 25 years old. What should his subordinates do? It's impossible to commit suicide collectively...

There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are talented and not old, and dare to admit that people younger than yourself are more capable than yourself. If every time you give a task, arrange a job, and the young boss speaks, your head will be "little boy, pretending to be 2,500,000 to 80,000 yuan", this work will not be able to be done, and your emotions will also be carried into the work.

In my previous company, the boss was a college student who started a business. I am three years older than him. We are fellow villagers, both from Heilongjiang, and both went to university in Harbin, but... he is the boss, and I am a buddy.

I don't think there's anything unacceptable.

He was a well-known entrepreneur born in the 1980s, called Dai Zhikang. Because I was older than him, I usually called him "Zhikang", and even there were people older than him in the company who called him "Old Dai", which I didn't understand at first. , I later understood, that is, a way for technical men to respect their "positions".

Now I also have a few colleagues in my company who have a lower position and an older age than me. They also call me "Brother Ming". They say that it is because the official called me Brother Ming to talk about job hunting...

In fact, a boss younger than you is not an outlier that needs special treatment, you can be normal and communicate normally.
