Chapter 44 6. How to become a good leader in the eyes of subordinates

Introduction: Don't forget to encourage people who have made mistakes, they may have lost faith in themselves to some extent, and desperately need validation from others. If you're a leader, then you have to communicate effectively with your reports—those below you.A leader can only be a good leader if he has mastered the art of communication.It can be said that communication art is a very important kind of leadership art.Regrettably, many leaders and subordinates have communication problems, which not only have a very negative impact on individuals, but also hinder the smooth progress of work.

So how to effectively communicate with subordinates?I think it should be done from the following points. Giving instructions clearly and clearly is a basic requirement for leaders.Use concise and powerful words to express your meaning, so that they can be effectively conveyed to the minds of subordinates.Try to make your instructions unambiguous and in line with the level that subordinates can understand. Many leaders like to speak at length, which often leads to subordinates not understanding what he wants to express at all after saying something.This is because leaders have established a certain authority in the minds of their subordinates, and every word and sentence they say will be conveyed to the brains of subordinates as important information.Because of receiving too much information, subordinates ignore the important information that the leader wants to convey.I don't want to say that this is entirely the leader's responsibility, but at least he should bear most of the responsibility.

Therefore, as a leader, you should consider more comprehensively to ensure the effective implementation of instructions.You should not only consider what you want to express, but also what the listener receives.Don't allow yourself to ramble; only do so when your subordinates fully understand what you mean.And you really shouldn't give a long speech, because subordinates have their own work to do, they are not here to listen to your spiel. Many leaders have many novel ideas, and they are highly efficient "idea" generators.However, they don't know how to implement these ideas effectively.They will often negate an order made an hour ago and replace it with a new one.What was the outcome?This is a headache for subordinates, they don't know how to execute, because they often get several contradictory instructions at the same time, which is really a very embarrassing thing.I have seen many leaders make such mistakes. Their authority cannot be violated. In the end, there is only one situation that can happen-the subordinates can't bear this torture and fire themselves.Therefore, don't change the order overnight, and let your instructions be your mature ideas.

Heart-to-heart talk is the most direct and effective way of communication. It can keep abreast of subordinates' thoughts and opinions, and is an important way to prevent problems before they happen.Pay more attention to heart-to-heart talks with your subordinates in normal times. You need to pay attention to the following points. Determine the target.Establish the specific goal of your conversation, clarify the topic of the conversation, list the information you may exchange and convey with the other party, and then arrange the time and place of the conversation-I think there should be no fixed time and place.

Get to know your subordinates.Get to know the person you're talking to thoroughly.Consider from the subordinate's point of view what may go wrong in the conversation and how it will affect him. Lead the conversation.Steer the conversation in your intended direction.Of course, you may also get a lot of unexpected gains. Everyone makes mistakes, so critical education must be inevitable.When a subordinate does something wrong, or fails to complete a certain thing, the leader should of course criticize and discipline him.The point is, your starting point is to want to solve the problem.You need to do the following.

Do not treat people.When you criticize and teach, you should make him feel that you are not criticizing him personally, but specific things.You should calmly point out the problem and hint to the other party in various ways that your purpose is only to make the work better, not to try to be quick. Keep a calm demeanor.Don't give subordinates a feeling that they are being judged, you need to create a peaceful and serious communication atmosphere.Only in such an atmosphere can you effectively solve problems. Be fair and impartial.Fairly point out the mistakes made by subordinates and the responsibilities they should bear. Any mistake will not be caused by only one person, and your subordinates certainly do not want to make such mistakes.

Principle of moderation.You should point out that he was only a part of this mistake, and objectively point out his responsibility in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations, so as not to give him a sense of unforgivable guilt.In this way, not only will he not correct, but he will give up on himself or rebel to the end. Encourage it.Don't forget to encourage people who have made mistakes, they may have lost faith in themselves to some extent, and desperately need validation from others.Of course, don't forget to guide them to correct their mistakes. Management is not your authority, but your attitude:

(1) Don't talk to your subordinates in that superior attitude, otherwise you will not receive good communication results. (2) Your sincerity is not a kind of compromise and concession, you still need to maintain the authority of the leader when necessary. (3) Respect your subordinates, this is the prerequisite for the other party to respect you.
