The leader temporarily arranges work, what should I do if I don't want to do it? 4 smart ways to refuse, the leader is not angry
The elementary school girl who just worked recently asked me for help on WeChat: "The leaders of our company always like to temporarily assign you some extra tasks, which are not within the scope of my work. How should I deal with this situation?"
I believe that everyone will encounter this situation more or less in their work. The task that does not belong to oneself is temporarily left to you by the leader. Sometimes, even when it is close to the end of get off work, the leader directly refuses to be afraid of having a hard time in the future. It's you who refuses to feel bad.
Today, I will give you several solutions for "How to reject leaders and arrange work that you don't want to do?"
The task is difficult and takes time. How can you refuse?
Use the important things at hand to make excuses
If the task assigned by the leader is very difficult, it takes a lot of time and energy, it will disrupt the balance of life, and you don't like it very much, you can use the existing job to refuse.
For example, we can say to the leader: "Mr. Li, I haven't finished the meeting report you asked me to write yet. Are you in a hurry this Wednesday? Do you want me to concentrate on completing this task first? Otherwise, the meeting this Wednesday will not be able to proceed smoothly."
If at this time, your work is really more important, the boss may let you go.
- You can agree first, then delay
Directly rejecting the boss will hurt feelings and is not conducive to future development. We should agree first and use the strategy of delaying the fight. You can sort out the information about your recent work, and then explain the current situation and situation to the boss.
For example, you can say to the leader: "Mr. Li, no problem, you can leave this matter with me first. After I finish writing my report, I will start working on it immediately, but it may take two days. , I don't know if you are in a hurry."
First explain the status, let the boss know, and explain the consequences of the impact. If you do this job, you may delay more time, and the leader will naturally weigh the weight of the matter.
How to refuse chores that have the meaning of "making things difficult" for leaders?
Recommend suitable candidates and let others do it
If you encounter a situation where the boss deliberately "makes things difficult", you can say that you are not very good at this aspect, and you are afraid of delaying the progress, so you can choose a more suitable candidate.
For example, you can say to the leader: "Mr. Li, I am not particularly good at the boss's planning. I am a designer. I am afraid that the effect will not be good and will delay everyone's progress. Xiao Wang in terms of copywriting planning. It is more appropriate, he is specialized in doing this, professional people do professional things, this is the most appropriate.”
- Change the work content
If your boss deliberately arranges difficult content for you, learn to split, break down tasks, and replace work content yourself.
For example, you can say to the leader: "Mr. Li, do you think this is okay? I will handle this matter first, I am good at copywriting, I will plan, but I will file each client's work. , can the clerk Xiao Zhang do it, we will cooperate to do it, and the efficiency will be higher."
In this way, it is the best of both worlds, not only to gain the trust of the leaders, but also to do the part that you are good at, without adding more difficulties.
Third, write at the end
In the workplace, leaders temporarily assign jobs. This kind of thing happens from time to time. We prefer to judge the boss's purpose. If you hand over important and urgent tasks to you, it means that the leader wants to train and promote you. Generally, don't refuse directly. This is a time to exercise your ability. opportunities can be seized.
If the boss is doing chores to "make things difficult", you can state your position and don't be an honest person, lest the gains outweigh the losses.
Rejecting extra work is indeed good for the moment, after all, you don’t have to work too much; but in the long run, losing the boss’s trust and promotion in the future will outweigh the gains.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and not everyone is so willing to accept temporary tasks from the boss, but if others are promoted and raised because of more tasks, we should not be sour, just face it calmly.
Correct attitude, the workplace is a process of self-experience.
