Why do I do small things well, but my boss doesn't give me important things to do? The reason is very real!
Entering the workplace, no matter how awesome or excellent our background is, after entering a new company department, it often starts from chores. When the old employees take us, they often arrange simple but time-consuming tasks for us. They find it troublesome and let the new employees do it, which not only brings the new employees to familiarize themselves with the business, but also makes their work easier and more efficient. However, this is a stage that newcomers must go through. It is not only familiar with the business and the environment, but also tests the staff's temperament, ability and attitude, and sense of responsibility. During this period, learning ability, communication ability, and ability to do things will be reflected one by one. But many people will have a question, why do I do small things well, but my boss doesn't give me important things to do?
Here are a few real reasons why!
1. Doing small things well may just be your own delusion
The leader arranges tasks, such as doing competitive product analysis, requires collecting PPT materials, and the task assigned is to provide all the information about the competing products that he can find within 3 days. As soon as the employee listens to it, within three days, all the competing product materials will start working immediately, work overtime and overtime. After three days, they will directly throw 20 GB of materials to the leader, any videos, documents, and audio materials. Feel good about yourself, feel that you are doing a good job, and achieve the task of leadership perfectly. The leader took a look, I went, there are so many materials, how do I look at it, there is no way to use it, why don't you search it yourself! The newcomer feels aggrieved. He obviously did what the leader said, and he worked hard and even worked overtime. Why wasn't he recognized?
The problem here is that I can't understand the leader's words. Will the leader need 20G of data to make a PPT? What he wants is only useful to him, maybe just dozens of pictures, a few key documents, strategies of several important competing products, etc. The standard of doing well in the workplace is to make others satisfied with the results, not to say that you do well when you feel satisfied. If you want to satisfy others with your results, you must ask clearly about your specific needs in the communication when the task is assigned, and the more detailed the better. During the execution process, feedback some of the tasks that you have completed, and let the person who issued the task see if it meets their needs. If so, continue. If not, make corrections according to their suggestions. Only in this way can we truly do well and achieve the results that leaders want to see.
2. Doing a good job is the boss's direct expectation, but doing it to the extreme will make the boss impress
When we enter the workplace, we get paid to complete the work, which belongs to the behavior of buying and selling. The boss pays the money, and naturally has expectations for our work. The boss thinks it is natural to do the work well. If the new employee completes 100% of the assigned tasks, most of the employees will feel that they are doing well, but the boss seems to be bland. For example, the collected PPT materials mentioned above are 20 G. If the newcomer can classify and archive this part of the data, filter out the important data for marking, and summarize the important content, the pictures are classified according to different scenarios, and the leaflet The picture is named, and the leader can use this part of the information directly. Even if there is no very detailed communication at the beginning, the leader can be satisfied with the effect. Collecting information, filing and sorting out is counted as 80 points, which basically meets the leadership requirements, but the summary of the content of a single information, the naming of the picture leaflet may be increased from 80 points to 120 points, and the leadership will feel that the newcomer has done a particularly good job.
3. Active learning and continuous improvement
Many people fall into the misunderstanding that as long as the little things are done well, they can be reused, but in fact there is no such so-called truth in the workplace. A company will always have a lot of endless little chores. If we are satisfied with doing these little things, over time, we may only do these things, and our ability will stagnate. In the workplace, you must be vigilant. When entering your own position, the first thing you need to do is to familiarize yourself with the responsibilities of the position. After you have a thorough understanding, take the initiative to learn the knowledge and skills related to the position, and constantly improve your ability. consult. Actively undertake some challenging tasks within your ability from your leaders, first ensure that your important work is completed, and you must ensure the quality of the completion, and small chores are in the back.
