The leaders said they were optimistic about me, but they did not promote me...
At a weekend gathering with friends, Lao Wu was in a bad mood. I asked him what happened? He said he resigned.
I was surprised and said, "Don't your leaders always value you? Last week, they said they were going to be promoted? Why didn't they do it all of a sudden."
Old Wu said angrily: "I have worked in the company for five years, and I am diligent and conscientious. Now the leader is promoted to director, and the vacant manager position is not me. The leader recommended my colleague Lao Li, who always tells me that he is very optimistic. I, pay attention to me, but they didn't recommend me at a critical time."
Leaders say they are optimistic about you, but they don't promote you. What's going on?
The leaders said they were optimistic about me, but they did not promote me...
- When a leader says "look good on you", it may be a "mantra"
One day, the boss called me to the office, poured me a cup of tea, and asked me to sit down and chat.
"Old Wu, you are an old employee. You came here as soon as the company was established. You have contributed to the development of the company. Now that the company has developed, you have received major projects, but you can't have too many management positions, and there are too many managers. The management efficiency will decrease and the labor cost will increase, which is very detrimental to the development of the company. You are the person I trust the most in the company, and you need to worry more about some internal things. I am often not in the company now, You have to help me watch, you do things, I can rest assured! I will arrange for you to go to other projects in the future, work hard, I am very optimistic about you!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." It turned out that the boss attached so much importance to me, I was very excited, and I felt comfortable when I came out of the boss's office.
In the following period, the boss called Lao Wang, Lao Li, and Lao Wan to the office one after another. When they came out, they all felt so comfortable. One weekend, an old colleague who left the company invited us to dinner, three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. Lao Li drank a little too much. Because of the project, everyone started chatting and talking, and while talking about the boss's conversation, it turned out that the boss said the same thing to the four of us.
The leaders said they were optimistic about me, but they did not promote me...
- You can do business, but you can't bring people
Managing oneself is different from managing others. Strong business ability does not mean that you can lead the team forward and manage well. Once you are promoted and then demoted, it often happens that you will lose this excellent talent, and it will affect morale. It is not a good thing to promote people who are not good at management to management positions. A wise leader will consider both the candidate's business ability and the candidate's management ability when promoting people.
Xiao Zhang worked as a salesman in an electronics factory. He was promoted to business director because of his good personal performance. There were 5 subordinates. After 3 months of work, he found that the management was not good, the performance also declined, and the team atmosphere was not good. Zhang had no choice but to apply to the manager to resign from the supervisory post.
- Your ability is strong, but your loyalty is not enough, which makes the leader feel insecure.
Leaders prefer loyal ones to strong ones. Excellent and capable people do not have to put down their posture to please anyone, but if you want to rise step by step in the organization, you must let the leaders know that you are a loyal, reliable and trustworthy person!
Some people, who think they are very capable, always want to express themselves in the company in order to get a quick promotion and salary increase. Such colleagues can gain a high prestige, but their emotional intelligence is very low. In spite of their threats, no matter how strong their problem-solving ability is, they will not be promoted by leaders.
