If leaders want to manage their employees well, if they don't understand these three points, they may be in vain no matter how hard they try.
Every leader in the workplace is eager to lead an excellent team, which not only reflects his excellent management ability, but also increases his salary. Being a good leader is easier said than done. After all, every employee has his own unique personality. If you don't know how to manage the team "different from person to person", then it will be difficult for you to bring out an excellent team!
Some leaders may feel that they have power in their hands and are not afraid that employees will not listen to them. It is true that the unspoken rule of "the first level of the official university crushes people" is always followed in the workplace, but you can control the actions of the employees, but you can't control the hearts of the employees! If leaders want to manage their employees well, if they don’t understand these three points, their efforts may be in vain!
1. Don't tell me repeatedly.
If we were to do a survey for employees, the content of the survey would be "Which behavior of a leader is most likely to anger employees", I think the behavior of "repeatedly told" by the leader will definitely be at the top of the list. The leader's instructions are incorrect, causing the subordinates to do things repeatedly and do a lot of useless work, and even the best-tempered employees will become angry!
for example:
The company has three tasks to do in the afternoon, which requires Xiao Liu from the logistics department to run errands:
First, drive the project manager of the next department to the client company; second, purchase some office supplies; third, take good care of the company's car.
These things are originally very simple, but some leaders in the workplace often "slap their heads" to make decisions. Thinking of where to direct, Xiao Liu Gang sent the project manager of the next department away, and just returned to the company, he still hasn't breathed a sigh of relief. , the leader asked people to rush to buy office supplies. Xiao Liu kept on buying things back, and the leader asked people to go out to maintain the car. If you are Xiao Liu, it is strange that you are not angry! Because it is obvious that you can do things well once, but the leader asks you to do it three times! You must think that this leader is too unreliable.
Smart leaders with emotional intelligence will definitely make adequate preparations in advance and learn to inform them all at once. For example, the leader will "string" these three things together: let Xiao Liu send the project manager to the client company first, and then send the car for maintenance on the way back, and in the interval between maintenance, go to buy office supplies. This is the most scientific and reasonable.
Second, Hawthorne's law.
Excellent managers in the workplace understand the "Hawthorne effect". The so-called "Hawthorne's law" refers to those individuals who realize that they are being observed by others and have a tendency to change their behavior. cathartic effect".
This Hawthorne's Law is reflected in the workplace as follows: Leaders communicate with employees from time to time and patiently listen to their suggestions and complaints, which will make employees feel that they are being concerned and valued by their leaders, and after their emotions are vented, Keep working happily.
It is not easy for everyone to survive in the workplace, and they are all burdened with various pressures, especially the employees at the grassroots level, who are most likely to have some negative emotions due to various things. As a leader, you can pay more attention to them, and this attention will make them work harder to prove that they are good and worthy of your recognition. This is very beneficial to subordinates, managers and even entire departments and companies.
In short, if a leader wants to become an excellent manager and truly lead a team, he must master excellent management skills, stimulate the potential of employees, maximize the interests of the department, and at the same time make them willing to work hard Harvest full happiness, forming a virtuous circle.
3. "Take care" of subordinates in a suggestive way.
In order to make their subordinates appreciate themselves, many leaders in the workplace will go straight to the point like "pouring beans into a bamboo tube". As a result, they will not only appear to be too utilitarian, but also will not be respected by their subordinates.
On the other hand, wise leaders will subtly express their favor to their subordinates through hints, which not only maintains the image of the leader, but also conveys the code of trust.
for example:
The unit is about to promote and appoint cadres recently, and the leader said: "Xiao Wang, it's a sensitive period recently, you should pay attention to unity with your colleagues and don't make trouble for me. You work very hard, and your achievements are obvious to all. The company and I both look at it. In the eyes." With a few simple words, the subordinates will tacitly understand.
Knowing how to "take care" of subordinates in a suggestive way not only works well, but also reflects your superb emotional intelligence.
Write to the end:
Leaders want to manage employees well, if they don't understand the above three points, they may be in vain no matter how hard they try! I hope that the leaders will change it if they have it, and encourage them if they don't.
