I believe that "smart people" in the question refers to "people who understand the times". This also reminds us of a classic old saying: He who knows the times is a hero. Therefore, we can regard the "wise man" mentioned in the title as "Jie Jun". So, how should smart people treat their bosses?
1. Look at the boss's strengths.
People naturally don't want to be bound by others, but people in the workplace often need a boss and often regard the boss as a person who binds themselves. Therefore, they are more or less resistant to the boss, but suffer from "people have to bow their heads under the eaves", so they pretend to be obedient on the surface, but they are picky about the boss in their bones. I don't like that he talks too much, is unprofessional, interferes too much, is too strict, and doesn't have the boss's demeanor ... Maybe he thinks the boss's ability is not as good as his own.
But he's right in front of you. He's your boss. All his psychological complaints have no effect, but will make your boss look down on you. In all fairness, there must be some advantages for the boss to sit in the boss's position. At least in your organization, he has some advantages. Therefore, as a subordinate, we should not only acknowledge his existence, but also acknowledge the existence of some advantages. In this case, as a career person who wants to make progress, as a smart career person, it is better to carefully observe his style and method of doing things, the texture and logic of his speech, the ways and means of dealing with people, learn from his strengths and absorb nutrients for his growth, so as to make himself more perfect. Learning book knowledge is often not necessarily useful, but learning from your boss's strengths can be immediate and enrich your ability. Workplace progress is the top priority.
2. Be independent.
People often think that everything must be subordinate to their superiors in order to win their favor. But this is not the case. Follow the boss in everything, which shows that you underestimate yourself. The boss is only a temporary favor. The boss is also a human being. When he is distracted (though pretending to be calm) and at a loss, he needs an independent and different voice, instead of everyone following him at a loss. At the right time, speaking your different voices and letting your own opinions appear at this time will make your boss feel that "a talent has been discovered." What is the right time? Even when the boss is at his wit's end, or when he needs more say to help him make a decision.
Independent and independent, they are often favored by their superiors. Finding talents for the boss's boss is also a good opportunity for him to take credit. Which boss is willing to choose a person who can only kiss up and has no ability to work, and then let others think that he has made a mistake in selecting people?
3. neither humble nor supercilious.
Bowing your head blindly in front of the boss, or being arrogant, will cause the boss's disgust. Being neither supercilious nor supercilious, being calm, showing one's self-cultivation in the workplace, not feeling inferior or arrogant, not only makes the boss feel uncomfortable, but also makes him sincerely admire you and make the boss really or hypocritically support you. His eyebrows are too low, and he really despises you; Too arrogant. He really hates you. These two extremes are not good, and the boss will not like them in his heart. Of course, the premise is that your boss is not Zhao Gao. If you meet a "Zhao Gao" figure, the best way to treat him is to leave him. However, the existence of "Zhao Gao" boss is not normal. Most bosses are still good bosses.
Let the boss know your work progress regularly.
Although some people threaten the so-called "no doubt about employing people, no doubt about using people" every day, it is just a "fig leaf" for some people. Doubt is human nature, not something we can choose. Similarly, the boss wants to know the progress of his subordinates every minute, or how the work is progressing. Therefore, in order to reassure the boss, you should report the progress of your work to the boss regularly. Regular reporting is inherently deterministic, and certainty itself is what the boss needs. Why do some bosses specifically ask their subordinates to submit daily work reports at certain times of the day? This is the reason: let yourself feel at ease. No boss likes to assign work, just like flying a kite that is not in his own hand. Regular reporting on work can enhance the boss's sense of security, just as we put the kite string in his hand and make him feel at ease at any time.
5. Keep your distance.
No matter how close the boss is to himself, he must understand a truth: he is not related to us by blood. True freedom and brotherhood do not exist. An outsider is an outsider, and the boss is the boss. Therefore, no matter how "cordial" the relationship with the boss is on the surface, we should keep a certain distance. Don't get carried away with your boss, as if he is really a big brother or boss, or you will be embarrassed or humiliated at some point. Keeping a distance from your boss can keep your dignity and prevent yourself from falling into the whirlpool of courage of "losing your mind".
6. Appropriate "flattery".
Since you are a smart person and a "person who knows the times", you should understand that "the boss is also a person" and everyone likes to listen to good words. I have a deep insight into what my boss does is really beautiful. When it's time to say a beautiful word, I want to make a beautiful word properly. Putting "truth" and "flattery" together will not violate my principle of "telling lies and flattering", but also make my boss happy and help him feel "just right" and do things in a measured way. People who are too arrogant and too stubborn are unwilling to do such a thing, and because of this, neither arrogant nor stubborn people can become the atmosphere of the workplace. Is Wei Zhi honest enough? It can make Emperor Taizong speechless with anger. But Wei Zhi was a wise man, and from time to time he flattered Emperor Taizong with a few words: "You are the king of the Millennium" and "China's national security folk music". Besides, we are all "ordinary people" in the workplace.
Finally, to sum up, don't be rude and lose yourself when dealing with the boss; Not only to be a thoughtful and knowledgeable subordinate, but also to "kiss up" when the boss's temperament is suitable; You can neither make yourself feel inferior nor "arrogant". The boss decides his future. Therefore, learning to treat your boss wisely is of great significance to your career prospects.
How do smart people treat their bosses? Some people are keen on eating and drinking, treating guests and giving gifts. In fact, they are really loyal and responsible to their leaders, and they should work hard in these areas.
First of all, follow the boss's thoughts. As a subordinate, the most important thing is to correctly understand and master the intention of the leader, keep up with the thinking of the leader, keep consistent in thought, keep synchronous in action, and consciously implement the decisions and tasks of the leader. With the same ideas and similar thoughts, feelings will inevitably escalate, exchanges will definitely increase, and relations will also develop healthily.
Second, skillfully fill the boss's shortcomings. No matter how strong a leader is, there are shortcomings. Sometimes, leaders don't have to compete with others. They are all doing icing on the cake, paying attention to the omissions, blind spots and shortcomings in leadership work, quietly making up for and plugging the leak, and being an unknown guardian and escort. Although this is not popular with those who revolve around the leader all day, the leader can appreciate your hard conscience and true feelings and will look at you with new eyes.
Third, maintain the authority of the boss. The leader's face is very important, and maintaining the authority of the leader is also to increase the heat for himself. If a leader encounters a problem and scratches his head, as a subordinate, he should stand up without hesitation, dare to take the lead and take the first shot, so that the leader can have room for manoeuvre without losing face. Never gossip about your leader outside. Especially in front of leaders, we should plant more flowers and talk well.
Fourth, strive to win glory for the leaders. No matter what kind of leaders want to do a good job, they all want to make achievements and honor. Therefore, we should strive to make contributions in our own business, make a difference, actively make suggestions for the leaders, make suggestions, solve problems, be good staff and assistants of the leaders, become the "killer weapon" that the leaders can get, and stand up to the "Jin Gangzuan" at critical moments.
You ask me how smart people treat their bosses. My answer is: first, it is beneficial and harmless to determine the basic standards. That is, the upper limit is conducive to their own growth; The bottom line is at least harmless;
Second, within the upper and lower limits of the standard, the basic tactic is to be more obedient and less rebellious; Go with its advantages and go against its disadvantages; Respect and obedience are the main tasks in the work;
The third is to give priority to work, supplemented by life. Keep a proper distance from each other. Never confuse the boss with the buddy;
In short, stay in your own place, don't cross the line, and do your job well. what do you think?
Just like the trees, stones and pavilions in the picture, each has its own position, and together they form a landscape.
The relationship with the boss in the workplace is very important. A study has proved that the relationship with the boss can even affect the relationship between husband and wife. Then how should we treat our boss? That's what smart people do. They don't just deal with bosses, they also manage them.
First, why do you manage your boss?
To many people, "managing the boss" sounds incredible, because general management emphasizes how to manage your subordinates well, but the essence of management is not power and title, but how to allocate resources reasonably to the maximum extent.
Smart people will not only take the time to deal with their colleagues, but also emphasize the relationship with their bosses, because they need to exchange resources and information with their bosses in order to better realize their career plans.
Therefore, how to create a win-win relationship and improve work efficiency on the basis of mutual respect is the focus of smart people.
Second, how to carry out effective management
1, don't be afraid of leadership, and get out of the misunderstanding that "the official level kills people"
(This article only aims at the small partners outside the system) First of all, we should make a basic positioning of ourselves and the role of leaders. First of all, we should do a good job in psychological construction: there is no phenomenon that officials oppress people, and there are not so many twists and turns in the relationship between superiors and subordinates in ordinary units.
We are all migrant workers, working for the boss. The more dynamic a big company is, the more blurred the boundary between higher and lower levels is. Everyone just has a different division of labor and different roles, and they all work for the company. If the company makes money, it will also benefit from it.
Higher and lower levels are more like the relationship between guidance and receiving guidance and learning from each other.
So from this perspective, it is recommended to be confident. Although there is a gap, don't be too afraid and don't try to please. It is very important to listen to the advice and guidance of superiors on how to complete your own work.
If it is within the system, rank is really important, but it is really important to keep a correct attitude. Business is business, private affairs are handled privately, leaders don't eat people, do their own things modestly and quietly, and don't take the initiative to participate in the struggle, which can still avoid a lot of trouble.
2. Know how to fight for your own interests
As the saying goes, "endure calm for a while, take a step back and broaden the horizon", and the same is true in the workplace. Honest people often suffer from dumb losses, and no matter how much work they do, they will never take the initiative to deliver it to their doors.
If you work hard and don't show yourself, your boss can't see it. It is not shameful to take the initiative to fight for it, and I have no psychological burden. Work with your head down, look up at the road, find the right direction, and don't lose your goal.
3. Communicate with your boss in time.
What the boss doesn't like most in the workplace is that there is no following task arrangement. It is the boss's most satisfied thing that the subordinates responsible for a certain job finish their work seriously and report and communicate in time. Only by communicating with the boss in time and asking for his ideas can we correct the work direction he gave in time and avoid being picky and being beaten back to rework.
To sum up, smart people treat their bosses in the most favorable direction, aim at completing their work efficiently and give full play to their abilities, which will give them greater opportunities for development.
An old leader who is now the director of a bureau in the city told me that it is enough to treat his boss with an idiom, that is, "at arm's length." Even smart people can do it well.
Everyone knows the meaning of this idiom, that is, it seems close, but in fact it is far away. In fact, I understand what my old leader wants to express: treat your own leader (that is, your boss) as well as your family, and not as bad as strangers. Grasping a degree is the key.
Be too kind to your boss, like your parents, like protecting your eyes, and you will lose yourself. That kind of treatment becomes a kind of supplementary flattery, which belongs to flattery. And as a person in the workplace, trying to please the leader all day will lose his personality and soul.
Treating your boss badly, like a stranger or an enemy, means losing the room for promotion and salary increase. Don't bow and scrape when you meet your boss. You didn't even say hello, as if you didn't know each other The leader must think there is something wrong with your character. A person with personality problems in the mind of the leader, will he think of promoting and reusing you? If you are in a company, will he give you a promotion and a raise? I'm glad I can't find a way to fire you.
In a word, I think it is just right to treat my leaders with respect, serve them well in their work and do things well.
An inch long, but a foot short. The boss is also a teacher and friend, so it is very important to learn to appreciate.
This is a big truth, everyone is not perfect, and everyone has shortcomings. So is the boss.
Since he can be your boss, he must have some abilities, not very good, but basically good. Generally speaking, he is not inferior to his subordinates.
Maybe he has some professional knowledge, but he may not understand it. No, maybe he hasn't experienced it.
In addition, as a boss, he will have more information at work than you, and he knows a lot of information that you don't know.
Therefore, it is fundamental to respect your boss, even if he leaves tomorrow because of incompetence.
The premise of managing your boss is to put your work ahead and think ahead, otherwise it will be difficult for you to manage your superiors well.
Secondly, you should always interact with your boss to understand his thoughts.
Finally, as a junior, help your superiors whatever you can, and don't abandon anything! Even if your superiors ask you to write the general manager's annual work summary and plan, you can still win. This is a good opportunity to interact with superiors!
It is best to be friends with the boss as a teacher!
Smart people know that no matter how talented a leader is, he wants others to respect him. Therefore, they know how to respect the leaders in the unit and scientifically safeguard the authority of the leaders.
However, respect does not mean obedience. Smart people understand that leaders should relax, respect and maintain their independent views and opinions. In some things, different opinions will be put forward, which will not only make the leaders feel disgusted, but also make them feel that they are people with ideas and can think independently.
No one is perfect, even leaders have their own shortcomings. Therefore, as a hard-working person in the workplace, it is very important to learn the strengths of leadership. For example, some leaders have strong negotiation skills and some leaders have strong copywriting skills, which are worth learning. As for the shortcomings of leaders, such as being smooth, stingy and prone to losing his temper, these can be ignored. After all, even if we ignore it, we can't urge the leaders to correct it.
Timely reporting is to feed back your work progress to the leader in time, so that the leader can know the progress of the work project in real time, instead of waiting until the end of the project to report to the leader.
Keeping a distance means interacting with leaders at work, but keeping a distance in life. Problems in your life, the family situation of your relatives, your private life and so on. You don't need to communicate with the leader too much. Similarly, don't talk too much about the family or life of the leader. Distance can keep a proper aesthetic feeling between superiors and subordinates.
Leaders need employees who can really work, so smart people know how to work hard in the workplace and go all out for the projects they are responsible for.
Of course, the workplace is also a big environment. It is not enough to work hard. We should also be flexible in flattering leaders and flatter them appropriately. After all, everyone likes to hear others praise themselves.
In any case, I hope that every migrant worker can maintain a harmonious relationship with the leader and win the opportunity of salary increase and promotion for himself as soon as possible.
Everyone in the workplace knows that if you want to walk faster than others in the workplace, you must get the support of the leader and the help of the boss. However, there are always some people who don't know how to get along with the leaders or get too close to them. Some people don't know what to say when they meet the leader, and they are afraid to ask, but actually avoid the leader.
It is not advisable to get too close to the leader; How to get along with leaders when they are too far away to get help? Smart people in the workplace can grasp three points: the mentality of treating leaders; Distance from the leader; The proper attitude when doing things. Grasping three points is the way to get along, and we must have a solid foundation.
Attitude towards leaders
The workplace should clearly know that you are the leader, and the leader is not your person. This mentality should be maintained. Don't think that having a good relationship with the leader is one of our own. Don't think about it, or you will suffer forever.
There are differences in information between superiors and subordinates, different things to consider, and leaders bear more. Leaders need to be responsible for the collective, for themselves and for their subordinates, and the resources in their hands are always relatively limited. They need to make good use of their own resources to balance all aspects, and you are just one of them.
When you think you have a good relationship with the leader, there are actually people who have a better relationship with him, or the attitude made by the leader to maintain all aspects of the relationship. Smart workplaces never treat leaders as their own, but as leaders themselves.
Distance from the leader
The distance from the leader is the most difficult thing for people in the workplace to grasp, and leaders who are too far away can't pay attention; Being too close does more harm. Some people will say: Isn't this a contradiction? The closer the relationship, the easier it should be to get help from the leaders.
In fact, on the contrary, it is precisely because of the close relationship that people who don't get help will be jealous, so rumors come out, such as nepotism. If it is between men and women, all kinds of unfounded rumors may fly all over the sky, and leaders will cherish their feathers, give resources to others, and then "explain" to people who are particularly close. After all, the relationship is good, hehe.
There is also a saying that "company is like a tiger". If you get too close to the leader, you will inevitably know things that others don't know. Even if you keep your mouth shut, you may not know what others don't know. Once such information is spread, it must be yourself who suffers. Of course, this is just a typical and easy-to-describe thing. Many others, such as office politics, are regarded as "cannon fodder" and targeted by leading competitors.
What smart people in the workplace do is that leaders attach importance to and maintain good relationships. The relationship between people is not the kind of relationship that is either near or far. People who can be paid attention to and appreciated by leaders without favoritism are smart people in the workplace.
The attitude that should be adopted in doing things.
Some people mistakenly think that leaders will be happy to do as they are told, but this is actually a very serious mistake. All I hear are people who like to listen, but they are not ignorant and blind. Leaders are also people. Everyone makes mistakes, and there are also some thoughtless places. If you just cater to them, it will not be appreciated by the leaders.
Do things with your own thinking and follow the direction of the leader. If the leader is not considerate enough, he should put forward it in time in private and make a remedial plan in advance. Take the initiative to think, but also take the initiative to do things, with the mentality of "Better to die than to die". Don't feel useless. I've prepared it n times. As long as I use it once, it will impress the leaders.
There is an information gap between the upper and lower levels, so it is very important to implement it, but it is also important to have your own thinking. Only by grasping the direction, grasping the details and cooperating with each other can leaders achieve the best results and gain their appreciation and reuse.
One must: self-worth
You must have your own value, which is the foundation of stability. For a worthless person, no matter what you do, no matter how good your relationship with the leader is, it is also a temporary situation. The workplace is a place where value and interests are concerned. As the value of people around you increases, your status will also change.
It is very important to enhance your own value. Don't give your future to leaders or anyone, but take control of your own destiny. To enhance their own value, not only have more choices, but also get the help of leaders.
Don't mistakenly think that people promoted by leaders are all related families, and they can't make progress without their own relationships and backgrounds. This is because their own value is not enough. Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and neither leaders nor subordinates can avoid customs. Self-worth is the most stable foundation. Without a stable foundation, no matter how you get along with leaders, you can't get effective help.
In short, don't think that having a good relationship with leaders can be reused. There are many people who have good relations with leaders, and you can't fully understand them. Smart people in the workplace are constantly improving their own value to stabilize the foundation. When getting along with leaders, everyone can master the distance, wise mentality and attitude that should be maintained when doing things.
When you enter the workplace, you will find that some people like to curry favor with their bosses and expect to be loved by them, but smart people in the workplace will show themselves with their own actions.
Execution is the most basic requirement of leaders for subordinates. Smart people ask the core information before they do something. If there are uncontrollable problems in the implementation process, they will not try to cover up the problems or not solve them, but feedback and communicate to the boss at the first time.
Smart people will express their ideas in appropriate places in the workplace and lead employees who like ideas, not robots that can only execute.
Treating leaders with a correct attitude and completing the work arranged by leaders quickly and correctly can get along with superiors more peacefully than using a "circuitous way".
Do a good job, don't bother leaders, increase work efficiency and create benefits for the company. Respect the boss, respect the leader.
