Why is leapfrog reporting a workplace taboo?

Regardless of whether it is a large or small company, overstepping reporting has always been regarded as a taboo in the workplace, and it is one of the few items that can reach a consensus. Although many big bosses will release a signal intentionally or unintentionally in daily conversations, and if there is a problem, they can directly give feedback to him, but when they do give feedback, they will end up with a disrespectful end, not only offending their immediate superiors, It is also possible to offend the big boss, although it may not make a statement on the spot.

Why, the leapfrog report will be a minefield, leading to a situation in which whoever steps on and who dies? If the immediate superiors do not agree with a plan that they think is right, and if the plan is implemented, it will bring great profits to the company, can it be reported by leapfrog in this situation?

I have encountered this example before. Due to the subordinate's leapfrog report, and the problems and ideas faced by the department were directly told to the big boss, the big boss was very satisfied, and his direct superior was called by the big boss to the office for inquiries, although he did not Furious, but issued an appointment, appointing a person who leapfrogged to report, as the person in charge of a project, and his immediate superior is only responsible for the supervision position. Although this result is a special case, it is not too rare.

But the next development story is that because the leapfrog reporting staff did not clearly consider the comprehensive risks of this project, and during the implementation process, they encountered many things that could not be solved, and fell into a mess, and their relationship with their immediate superiors also became very embarrassing. In fact, even if the immediate superiors can abandon their previous suspicions and help them with all their strength, they may not be able to succeed. After all, there are many reasons for the slow progress of the previous project.

Two months later, due to the lack of improvement in the promotion of the project, he was dismissed directly by the big boss, and the part that followed the transfer also returned, but there was still a certain gap, and some people also left because of this. The superior's stumbling led him to leave, and some people thought that he was arrogant, so he suffered the consequences, but there is no way to know the various reasons, maybe the big boss was excited before, and now he wakes up, maybe the matter will come to an end.

Therefore, leapfrog reporting is full of risks. After all, every level has concerns at every level, and the views on the same thing from different positions are definitely different. However, in the workplace, although leapfrog reporting is the red line of every company, But you can still see people rushing up one after another.

In fact, the purpose is roughly like this. If you want to express yourself and get the attention of the big boss, it will be logical to get a promotion and a salary increase. Maybe some people have to report to the higher level just for the sake of the company's better or facing unexpected situations. While the latter may seem excusable, in practice, for whatever purpose, this is a red line.

The company has its own company's system and process, and each level has its own job responsibilities. If the inherent rules are broken, there will be an interpersonal crisis in the management process, full of mutual distrust, and over-level reporting and over-level commanding are mixed, resulting in the middle-level at a loss. , the team project falls into a long position, resulting in slow progress of the task and even a relatively large loophole.

To sum up, a leapfrog report will cause a series of problems, which will provoke public anger. If we have to report to the superior, but the direct superior is not there, how should we deal with it? How can we avoid this negative outcome if we cannot solve it on our own and have to report it by leaps and bounds?

First of all, it is necessary to obtain the authorization of the immediate superior to allow it to report to the higher level under certain special circumstances, and before that, the superior must be informed. If you cannot talk directly, you can leave a message, and you must contact the superior again after an interval of half an hour. If you still can't get in touch, you can report by leapfrog.

Secondly, when reporting by leaps and bounds, be sure to inform that this plan has been instructed by your superiors, but you have to report because your superiors have something to do to avoid conflicts.

Finally, after the matter is resolved, it is necessary to report to the immediate superior in time to report the progress and results of the matter, and the report must be done in place, and a message is necessary.

Therefore, the taboo when reporting leapfrog is the company's red line, and it should not be touched unless it is absolutely necessary. If you touch it, you must be careful. Maybe it's a bit alarmist, but this is the reality, maybe it's not easy to see small things, and when it really produces bad results, it's too late to regret it, what do you think?
