I won't choose a boss, it's no use to be a man
It’s been almost two years, and I’ve also written a lot of workplace articles, almost inseparable from one person: the boss.
The so-called "follow the right person before the age of 30, do the right thing after the age of 30" - I forgot whether it is one of Jack Ma's famous sayings, but the more I taste, the more I think it really makes sense.
In many workplaces, the unspoken rules of "no one said it, but the old drivers understand it" are basically understood by watching and learning, and no one can teach them.
Like a newborn child, their behavior unknowingly mimics their parents. Young people who have just entered the workplace will also be influenced by the people around them in how they speak and act. At this time, the boss accounts for a large proportion.
In addition, a good leader should be able to "know people and take responsibility", maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the team through reasonable work arrangements, and achieve a win-win situation for the organization and employees.
And leaders who lack leadership skills often only make the team a mess and smoky.
It not only destroys the self-confidence of young people, but also makes their attitude towards the workplace become negative.
Sometimes I read messages from netizens and say, "My boss is not like this, this method is useless for him."
Frankly speaking, it's not difficult to be a "boss" now.
Some people were still daydreaming yesterday, but they met an investor who was also daydreaming and became a boss today.
However, there are not many people who really know some management methods and leadership methods.
Not to mention, there are good and bad policies between different methods.
Therefore, you don't need to think that "the boss must be better than you". He has some advantages in reaching today, but he is not perfect.
When I read "The Biography of Miyue", I liked Zhang Yi, the prime minister of the state of Qin. He was very full. With a three-inch tongue, it didn't cost a single soldier to do anything. With just a few words, the combined vertical attack of the five kingdoms was resolved. Qin's plan. But such a resourceful person also fell into the "He's jade" game, and was almost wronged and lost the trust of the King of Qin.
Back to the topic of bosses, there are thousands of bosses in the world. Although good bosses have their own good methods, bad bosses always have something in common.
Here are three experiences to share with you.
- Can you accept "harmony but difference"?
There is a kind of boss who likes it very much and is obsessed with "making others like me", even in many details.
To put it well, it is hands-on. To put it bluntly, it means that you are too conceited with yourself. You only believe in your own methods and only see your own advantages. .
Therefore, such a boss, if his own ability is good, this is not bad, at least he can handle the scope of his ability, but the ceiling of his ability has been set, and the future development is unpredictable; I am afraid that my ability is still stubborn, and it will make you It feels very awkward.
No matter what, you have to follow the boss's method, lack of autonomy.
Following such a boss, once encountering something that has not been done before, the old method will not work, and it may be a group annihilation.
- Is it really "reasonable"?
Du Yuesheng once divided people into three categories:
incompetent, temperamental;
have the ability, have the temper;
Have the ability, no temper.
It can be seen that when we are evaluating a person, temperament is always concerned.
I used to read a career book and said, "Being a boss requires humility." I also questioned it. After all, it's okay to be a little temperamental. Later, I gradually realized that the boss can indeed have a temper, but if he has a temper and is not reasonable, it will be troublesome.
Jobs is a typical explosive temper, and when he is strict, he speaks ruthlessly and absolutely.
However, looking at Apple's achievements, you can't say that Jobs was not a good boss.
After all, the same rice raises a hundred different people, can you keep the boss from having a temper?
Why didn't so many people leave in the face of the angry Steve Jobs?
I think, the key is that anger is anger, and what you can say is justified, or simply venting your emotions.
If it is the latter, it is recommended not to follow unless you like to be angry.
- Do you really care about the survival of the company?
In the workplace, we will definitely meet two types of people. One is to treat work as a career; the other is to treat work as work, that is, as long as you can make money and eat, it can be called a working mentality.
For the boss, if it is not the first mentality, it is very dangerous.
It cannot be ruled out that some wealthy N generation, opening a company is just playing tickets, or taking a chance, if something happens, he can just walk away.
In junior high school, there was a text about captains. The captain in the middle school evacuated all the people on the boat when a big storm hit, but he sank into the sea together with the boat.
Why?
Because the captain is not only the authority on the ship, but also the person who "lives and perishes with the ship".
In the early years at sea, this was the golden rule of being a captain. It is precisely because of one that when danger comes, the crew will believe that the captain will do his best to save the ship.
So, if your boss doesn't take the company seriously enough, you'd better be careful.
write at the end
If you really feel that you have encountered an unreliable boss, don't sigh.
After all, how do you know if you are wrong if you never miss it? When you are in a relationship, you will meet scumbags, not to mention finding a job.
Fortunately, as long as you have encountered it, you will know where the scum is. If you miss one or two times, the probability of following the wrong again for the third time will be greatly reduced, and you will gradually understand what the person you are looking for is exactly. kind of.
