Too much temporary work arranged by the boss to finish? Master these four points, teach you to easily get

In workplace work, the boss often arranges a lot of temporary work, but in the face of temporary work, there are different handling conditions: one is to take over quickly, deeply understand the work ideas, and complete it efficiently in a very short period of time; The class was unable to find a clue in the face of temporary work, not only that, but also the original work was delayed, and finally became a mess.

Everyone wants to be the former, but unfortunately, most people belong to the latter. The root cause is that systems thinking is not mastered at work.

System thinking is a kind of thinking method that comprehensively examines the cognitive object from the mutual connection and interaction between the system and the elements, the elements and the elements, and the system and the environment.

The most basic theory of systems thinking is integrity. When we receive temporary jobs, or even multiple jobs are carried out in a staggered manner, we often only focus on a single job and ignore the integrity.

How to develop systems thinking to deal with problems? It's actually very simple, just four steps:

have a clear understanding of the current situation;

Follow the logical rules of how the work is carried out;

scientific questioning;

Optimize and output results;

1. Have a clear understanding of the current situation

Everyone must have encountered such a person in their work. They are so busy every day that they have no free time at all. When they report to the supervisor, they cannot deliver the workload.

In an enterprise, being busy is a good thing, which proves that employees are "needed", but if "busy" is not necessarily a good thing, this situation is mostly because employees do not have a clear understanding of their current situation.

There are thousands of threads in the work. If the existing work cannot be allocated reasonably, it often takes a lot of time and energy to deal with the non-mainline work, but the mainline work cannot be solved.

There are many such employees.

Think about your own work has a reasonable planning arrangements? When a temporary job is handed to you, do you accept it directly or measure your existing workload first?

If you don't have a reasonable plan for your work and accept temporary work without refusal, it can be said that you have not established a "planning awareness".

To establish a plan decomposition awareness, first of all, it is necessary to focus on the main task, decompose the big goal into small goals according to the intensity and difficulty of the work, and at the same time establish an importance division for the small goals.

For example: Project A takes 10 weeks to complete, and Project B takes 8 weeks to complete. Then we divide the two projects into weekly units. If the preliminary work of Project A is heavier, the preliminary arrangement of Project B will be compressed. Preliminary arrangements for Project A.

On this basis, if temporary work C is added, first measure the completion rate of projects A and B, and if it can be completed, add it to the plan, otherwise it is necessary to speed up the completion efficiency of project A or B to ensure the completion of C .

According to this kind of work idea, the plan can be organized and carried out, and the dynamic adjustment can be made at any time, so as to implement the work in an orderly manner. Therefore, before accepting a job, you should first clarify your current work status, don't accept it blindly and hastily, and measure your own situation first.

2. Follow the logical rules of work development

On the basis of clarifying the status quo, the next step is to follow the logical rules of work development.

We often hear a phrase called "Drilling the bull's horns", which means that when people deal with certain problems, their thinking is rigid and rigid.

There are often such "stubborn" employees at work. The boss tells a job and starts to do it. Instinctively, he thinks that it will be fine, so he spends a lot of time in it, and then stops and considers it when it really doesn't work. Is it right to do so.

This kind of people just bury their heads and work hard, never raising their heads to think about why they are doing this.

Therefore, it is necessary to think about the logical laws of the work before starting the work.

For example, it is necessary to conduct research and evaluation on the after-sales customer satisfaction of a product. First, the satisfaction survey can only be carried out after the sales department sells and after-sales on-site processing. If you call the customer directly, the customer will be fooled all of a sudden, thinking that the product they purchased has a batch failure.

For example, the boss has assigned a job, and at this time you have a product that needs to be monitored 24 hours a day and is being tested. In theory, you are no longer able to accept new work arrangements.

In these two examples, the flow of work between departments, the order in which work is completed, and the time required for tasks belong to objective and logical laws and are not easy to change. If intervention is imposed, it will only reduce the level of work completion and actual value.

3. Scientific doubts

Jack. Welch is known as one of the "greatest corporate leaders of the 20th century". As a former CEO of General Electric, he said this: We want people to have the courage to express their disapproval opinions, present all the facts, and Respect different viewpoints.

Sometimes, a job looks very easy before it is carried out, and many problems are often found in the process of work. It may be that the boss's arrangement is wrong, or it may be that there are problems with your own work methods.

If the work still cannot be done well on the basis of recognizing the status quo and following logic, then perhaps there is a problem in the work itself, it is better to raise your doubts boldly.

Copernicus, the famous astrophysicist, questioned the thousand-year-old "geocentric theory" theory. After a lot of astronomical observation work and actual scientific investigation, he proposed that the shape of the earth is spherical, and it is constantly moving. Heliocentric theory.

I believe everyone has heard of the story of Copernicus. The reason for telling this example is to hope that everyone will not only "talk about" in their work, but do a good job of data analysis and review before questioning.

People who blindly ask questions are terrible, and this will only fragment the complete work idea.

The premise of questioning needs theoretical support. On the basis of questioning, an appropriate optimization plan can be made according to the actual situation to ensure the orderly progress of the work.

Fourth, optimize and output results

When the closed-loop system of recognizing the status quo → mastering the logic → scientific questioning is truly achieved, it is the stage where the transformation and output of the results are really started.

As the saying goes, the road to success cannot be smooth sailing. In the workplace, the effective completion of any work requires preparatory work in order to achieve high-quality output. Only strong input can ensure stable output.

In the previous step we mentioned scientific questioning! In fact, scientific questioning is just laying out the facts, which belong to the input, and the output is our optimization of the status quo.

For example, at work, we clearly felt that it was not feasible to carry out the work in this way, and raised our own doubts. If there is no practical optimization of the work, the work is still impossible to complete.

Therefore, the first three points can only be regarded as a foreshadowing.

In Journey to the West, the Tang Seng team experienced 9981 difficulties and finally obtained the scriptures, which can be described as untold hardships.

Therefore, we must realize that the ultimate goal of doing a good job is to output high-quality results.

final summary

The establishment of systems thinking is a long process. It is necessary to understand the nature of the work through the current situation. At the same time, it is also necessary to develop the above four steps: first, have a clear understanding of the current situation; second, follow the logical rules of work development; third 3. Scientific questioning; 4. Optimize and output results.

In daily work, most people do not always do well because they have not developed this working mechanism. In fact, it is not difficult. What is difficult is to develop this way of thinking.

When you master these theories and apply them in your work, your overall awareness will gradually increase, and the same system thinking will gradually develop.

At that time, you will not refuse the job that the boss has explained to you, and you will get the boss's affirmation!
