How to reject the unreasonable arrangement of the leader? Make good use of these 3 tricks, the leader will not get angry but value you more
There is a nonsense unspoken rule in the workplace: leaders cannot refuse!
I've seen a guy who never refused to lead, and in the end he...was exhausted.
Ah Feng is my former colleague. He is a good person, but his ability is not enough, but he has a fatal flaw - he respects the leader so much that he never refuses the leader's work arrangement.
When he is free, the leader arranges the work, and he will do it;
When he is busy, the leader arranges the work, and he will still accept it;
Even if he is too busy and the leader arranges the work, he still does not say a word.
After half a year, he was exhausted—the workload was too much, and he often procrastinated; some jobs, which he was not good at at all, would inevitably be done poorly; due to lack of time, he did not do well in his own work...
Tired like a dog, but no one cared, only got a dismissal notice signed by the leader Ah Feng has always respected.
Oh, this is the workplace! It's so realistic!

In the workplace, as long as the leader is willing, he always has work arrangements for you. If you don't understand rejection, then you will have unfinished business. The workload increases and the working hours remain the same, and the quality of your work will inevitably decline.
In this case, the leader will only feel that the ability is not enough, and will not say "Wow, this kid respects me so much, he has done so much work, it's too hard, I want to promote him" - this is an illusion, never may become a reality.
In addition to too much workload, the leader may also arrange for you some work that you are not good at. If you accept it calmly, but the final result cannot satisfy the leader, you will also lose more than the gain.
In the workplace, when leaders arrange for us some unreasonable work, we must know how to refuse. People with high emotional intelligence will use these 3 tricks, you can try them.

- Affirm the leadership first, and then use the overall situation to reject
No matter when we reject a leader, we can’t be too direct and blunt, otherwise, where will the leader’s face go?
Before rejecting, we might as well affirm the leader, maintain his dignity and authority, and then proceed from the overall situation to find the point that the leader cannot refuse. It can be like this-
"Leader, if you let me do post-data operations work, of course I'm very happy to learn, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity you gave. But, as you know, I'm good at pre-planning, and I'm not very sensitive to data. In this way, I am worried that it will affect the operation efficiency and final results of the entire project. Do you want to find more professional colleagues to do this job?”

- Don't refuse directly, let the leader make the choice
Sometimes, we already have work, and if the leader arranges work, we will be overloaded. At this time, many people's rejection methods are "I can't finish it", "I can't be busy" and so on.
It must be noted here - such negative words, such as "can't finish", "can't be busy", etc., are all negative information, which will make leaders doubt whether there is a problem with our ability.
In this case, we can say "no" in another way, let the leader make the choice, and let the leader say "no" for us. It can be like this-
"Leader, I still have two projects on hand, one is copywriting planning, the other is data analysis, plus the report you just handed me, there are three, may I ask which one should I deal with first? ?"
If the leader is not too stupid, he can realize that his work arrangement is not reasonable, and naturally know what to do.

- Give constructive comments when rejecting
When leaders arrange work, they all have their own plans. When we reject him, it will inevitably disrupt the plan and make the leadership unhappy. At this time, we must give constructive opinions, such as recommending suitable solutions or suitable candidates to leaders to solve the problems of leaders. It can be like this-
"Leader, I am good at pre-planning. Of course I can learn the data operation you mentioned, but it may delay time and affect the overall progress. Do you want to find more professional colleagues to do this job? Just It seems that Xiao Wang, who has always been sensitive to data, should be qualified for this job."
