How to develop professional contacts? These 4 "hidden rules" will help you thrive and have a successful career
The workplace is a seemingly glamorous place with turbulent undercurrents. If there is no rank, it is really difficult to survive in it.
There is a phenomenon in the workplace, people who really do well are very happy, that is to say, they have many friends and wide relationships.
Either with colleagues, with leaders, or with the trust and love of customers, so we can go straight to the sky.
Having a network is equivalent to having everything, such as resources, wealth, relationships, information, skills, expertise, and more.
So, how do we develop our professional network? Today, I will share with you these 4 "hidden rules" to help you be like a duck to water and have a successful career.
1. Colleagues are rivals
In the workplace, colleagues may be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in one second; but in the next second, they may become rivals with each other.
So, no matter what you say, don't take it seriously.
Learn to always keep a certain distance from your colleagues. He is nice to you today just because you are not as good as him or similar to him.
When one day you get a promotion and a raise, he will be jealous. Some of the secrets you have told him will all become the best weapon to attack you.
The eternal iron law in the workplace: the best colleague you used to be is the biggest obstacle to your future development.
Some words cannot be said, and some people must not be trusted. A person's maturity is not learning how to express, but learning how to swallow.
2. Pretending to be a genius in front of colleagues, and a fool in front of leaders
Why make colleagues feel like a human being?
Only in this way will they dare not bully you.
Why pretend to be a fool in front of the leader?
Only in this way will the leaders reuse you,
So, when you have something to do, go to the leader more often. Even making the other party dislike you for being stupid is better than being smart.
Only if you are stupid can you show the intelligence and ability of the leader.
When facing a leader, you only need to remember one sentence: obedient, easy to use, and non-threatening. These are the three major criteria for leaders to employ people.
3. Even if it is reused again, don't get too close to the leader
In the workplace, even if you are valued by leaders, you can't get too close to them.
Since it is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, absolute equality is impossible. You must understand this.
The leader calls you a brother, and it seems that the relationship is very close. The purpose is to hope that you will work more and help him with your life. Don't take it seriously.
If the leader asks you to give your opinion, you must know how to divide the situation.
There is nothing wrong with humbly mentioning a few words in private, but remember to always stand on a united front with the leader in public.
Otherwise, sooner or later, you will run out of food.
Fourth, important contacts should be drawn with affection
Gift-giving is an art that must be used flexibly.
It is necessary to know that it is usually a small amount, but it is given many times, which is much more useful than giving a generous gift at a critical moment.
Remember to pay more attention to the movements of nobles and pay more attention to their circle of friends.
For example, if the noble's father is about to have a birthday, you should prepare the wine in advance, and it is best to put the words and names of blessings on it.
On the day of your birthday, you will definitely give the other party a surprise as soon as you send it over.
In fact, there are only two sentences to get the contacts in the workplace: I usually burn more incense, so I don't have to worry about anything.
The above are some of my understanding and experience of networking, I hope to help you build a better circle of networking and help you soar to the sky.
