Chinese workplace, like to have meetings. For organizations, efficient meetings can save time and work costs and improve work efficiency. For individuals, attending conferences is not only the main channel to obtain important information from the top, bottom, left, and right, but also the occasion for the performance of personal image and ability. Today's young people naturally reject meetings and hate that kind of seniority and formalism. But there are three old (earth) sayings, although the soil is slag, it is still not out of date, and it is still practical. Please collect it for future use.

Meeting is a skill, these "three local sayings" are not out of date, they are beneficial and harmless, please save them for future use

[1] A good memory is not as good as a bad writing.

Our company recruits a group of new people, including fresh graduates recruited by the school, as well as workplace people recruited by the society. After calling them for several meetings, the boss complained to me, "Every time there is a meeting, these people come with their heads on their heads, as if they have a computer on their necks. It's not like when I used to bring small notebooks to meetings."

Later, I reminded a few of them that a good memory is not as good as a bad writing, even if you pretend you have to pretend. They burst into laughter, what is the age, the information tools are so developed, and you still have such a feudal tradition? Young people always object to this view, either ridiculing it as flattery, or berating it as a show, misunderstanding it as servile thinking.

Once, a young man who looked very smart, missed an important link and caused the project to fail. The boss may have used the topic to play, or he may have been really angry, and immediately fired him. Think about it from a different perspective. When you take a task, it may be a single job or a package of tasks. Your recording is inappropriate, and it is not appropriate to listen to it with pricked ears. The boss has reason to suspect that you are a "funnel".

No matter whether young people like to listen to it or not, the leader asks you to go to his office or for a meeting, take a small notebook, memorize key points, treat it as workplace etiquette, and develop behavioral habits.

[2] Develop the habit of belly drafting.

As long as the company holds a larger meeting, many young people always like to "slip away". One is to grab the back row, preferably the seat behind the leader, and the other is to grab the side seat. During the meeting, I felt that speaking was a matter of the front row, and it was not my turn, so I either sat in a daze, thinking wildly, or playing with my mobile phone.

Once, the leader suddenly pointed at Huazi, an ordinary employee, and asked the employees to give their opinions. Hua Zi talked about his views modestly and succinctly, which surprised the leaders. Since then, he has taken good care of him and cultivated him intentionally. He was promoted to the middle level in less than two years.

Others thought that Hua Zi stepped on shit luck. Later, Hua Zi told me quietly that in fact, he listened carefully every time he had a meeting. point of view, just exercise your own thinking.

We often say that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, but "preparation" is not asking you to open your palms to take the pie. Every good performance of yours is the result of careful consideration and careful preparation. Never believe in the emergence of inspiration and inspiration in the workplace. Even if it's not your turn to speak, as Hua Zi said, you should train your mind.

[3] Do not oppose for the sake of opposition.

The workplace is not emotional intelligence, but it is not a battlefield. It is more of a co-opetition (competition and cooperation) relationship. No one eats the fish from the beginning to the end. Between departments and colleagues, there are always conflicts and conflicts of interest. Especially in meetings, when there are departments or personnel with competing interests, some people are accustomed to oppose it for the sake of opposing it. It is either a friend or an enemy. I will oppose everything you mention. Our company used to have a middle-level A Qiang with outstanding ability, but he likes to compete for interests. In several meetings, the department manager Da Jun, who competes with A Qiang, reported the plan, but A Qiang always rejected it completely. Later, the leader never reused Aqiang. He once told me that although Dajun's plan was detrimental to the interests of Aqiang's department, it was beneficial to the overall interests of the company. As a senior middle-level manager, Aqiang should not fail to see the advantages of this plan, but he Opposition just for the sake of opposition, lack of awareness of the overall situation, and failure to seek truth from facts at critical moments. When walking in the workplace, don’t just start from your own interests. All the positions and thoughts you show can be clearly seen by your superiors. If you compromise on your life and work, you don’t know how to die, and you feel very wronged. .
