Chapter 54 Facing talented colleagues

This type of person is ambitious and broad-minded, and doesn't care about some small gains and losses.When he was working, he never forgot to enrich himself and make good friends.In addition to doing his own work, he also helps and mentors his colleagues. Everywhere he goes, whether he has been there for a long time or not, he can influence others and control the behavior of the group under extremely natural conditions.The saying "tiger roams the world and eats meat" probably refers to this kind of person. Talented people often have different insights than ordinary people.When the time is not ripe, he can be patient, whether it is to taste the courage or the humiliation of the crotch, he can accept it.However, when the time is right, he rises up like an eagle soaring into the sky, and no one can compete with him.

Not every talented person has made great achievements. However, he has his own style in life, and it is his true nature to be neither humble nor overbearing, neither hasty nor impatient. For such colleagues, if everyone has the same interests, they can create a vigorous career together.If one mountain cannot contain two tigers, each can take what it needs, enjoy its reputation, and benefit from it.If none of the above works, you can help him succeed wholeheartedly, and you will leave a good reputation for being talented. People of this type are well recognized by the company and loved by colleagues because of their correct work attitude and method of doing things.All the units and groups he works in will have good productivity and performance.This type of person will infect other working colleagues, make the organization develop in a positive direction, and bring a cooperative and harmonious working environment to employees.

When the company is going well, everyone will work together to share the results; when the company is not going well, everyone will grit their teeth, work hard, and create new vitality.When he is not busy at work, he will take the initiative to train novices and cultivate team strength; when he is busy at work, he can influence his colleagues to support each other and overcome difficulties together.This type of colleague, when working with him, you have to learn to be as dedicated as him.As long as you don't behave like him, you will be compared to him. A smug person has his own opinion about everything.The reason why he is full of ambition is because he has been in a very smooth situation and has never tasted the pain of failure, so he is not afraid of failure.

He has no way of accepting other people's opinions, and if you are smart enough, you don't have to argue with him.To know a person who has never failed for a long time is because of his wisdom, not his luck. In the face of such a colleague, you can't go along with him too much. Only by letting him taste the bitter fruit of failure can you really change and help him. If the types of colleagues are subdivided, there must be more than these types. Here are just a few typical ones for your reference.No matter how many types of colleagues there are, as long as we grasp each other's interests based on the positioning of each other's social roles and grasp each other's personality traits, we can get along with them flexibly.

Any leader must understand this truth: In terms of work and life, there are only differences in positions, but they are all equal in personality.In front of employees and subordinates, we are just a leader who takes the lead, without any great honor or pride.Helping your subordinates is actually helping yourself, because the better the enthusiasm of the employees, the better the work will be done, and you will gain more respect and establish an enlightened image. Listening can appreciate the state of mind of subordinates and understand the situation at work, which provides a solid basis for accurate feedback and adjustment of management methods.The person in charge of a well-known American company once said: When a manager has a dispute with his subordinates, and the manager is impatient to listen to the counseling, so that most of the subordinates do not obey the command, the first thing that the person in charge of the company thinks of is to replace the department manager.

Alexis is a sales executive for a multinational toy company responsible for sales in North America.After she had been with the company for several years, her boss left and was replaced by someone recruited from outside.Alexis and the new boss disagree on many issues, which creates a lot of unhappiness on both sides. So the new boss figured out how to fire her, and got HR to help him do it.Of course the new boss admits that she does a good job, works hard, and always hits sales targets.But he's about to make some major changes in the business, and the two of them disagree.To back up his decision, he suggested that HR conduct a survey of people in Alexis' work network, asking for feedback on her performance.He thought about it carefully. If he didn't get along well with Alexis, it must be the same with everyone else.

But the results of the investigation were beyond his imagination.It turns out this woman is super good at networking.Not only has she built strong relationships with the company's customers, but she has also built strong relationships with vendors, colleagues, and employees under her direct supervision. They praised her work ethic, integrity and attention to customers' needs.Reading their feedback, you find out that some people have their first, second and third children named after Alexis.It's pretty obvious that if the new boss fires her, he'll lose the hearts and minds of his employees and customers throughout the company.

As such, the new boss was forced to find a new way to work more effectively with Alexis because of her relationships. If the new boss fired Alexis out of emotion, he would not only lose the company's financial interests, but more importantly, he would lose popular support, which would be very detrimental to his job. So, as a boss, how do you get along with your subordinates? One is to pay attention to those who are more individual, talented, and influential among subordinates, and regard them as the main members to accomplish organizational goals, and the effect will be more obvious. The second is to understand the ideas and needs of subordinates, understand their living conditions, work conditions and personal preferences, and satisfy some requirements when possible.

The third is that no matter how low the position of the subordinates is, they must show an approachable style and treat them equally.Make an effort to be honest, fair, and humane naturally, without bossing around.Even if you ask or criticize your subordinates, you may wish to praise him a few words first, then subtly guide his ideas to yours, and finally ask him to consider how to do it properly, so that subordinates will be convinced. The fourth is to have the courage to take responsibility. As a superior, do not push all faults and mistakes to subordinates, let alone let subordinates take responsibility for your own mistakes. You should first assume management responsibility, and consider yourself from the perspective of management for the faults of subordinates. Whether there is dereliction of duty, and then analyze the problem with the subordinates to find the reason, so as to convince them and win their support and respect.

Fifth, if you have a serious disagreement with your subordinates, you must understand the situation in many ways, find the crux of the disagreement, and find an opportunity to solve the crux.If you are wrong, you must talk to your subordinates and hope to get his support.If the subordinate is really wrong, you can find an opportunity to do his ideological work well, and talk about your thinking, and ask him to understand. A smart superior must always let his subordinates realize his own value and make him feel that he has the importance of being unreplaceable. Learn to smile kindly to your subordinates, because gentleness and friendliness are more powerful than rage and coercion, and always make your subordinates feel that they have received the greatest trust, then your subordinates will work tirelessly.
