Chapter 130 There is a way to reveal flaws

Weak people often have some sense of inferiority complex and defensiveness, so if they want to eliminate the other party's vigilance and fear, as long as they deliberately reveal their own weaknesses or shortcomings, the effect can be obtained. There is a general manager of a certain company who once served as the head of the accounting department of the company.In his inauguration speech, he said the following: "I am not good at computer statistics, so I hope you can help me." His words immediately dispelled the fear in the hearts of his subordinates. narrowed the psychological distance between them.

However, when his subordinates handed over the drafted document report to him for review, he casually reminded the other party that "this number seems to be wrong."In this way, after two or three corrections, everyone said in amazement: "Look at our leader, don't look at the fact that he said he didn't understand anything when he took office. In fact, he knows everything and is much better than us." In the contact with him, the staff's sense of trust in him naturally arose. It can be seen that in order to make others relax their vigilance towards you and develop a sense of intimacy, as long as you can skillfully expose some innocuous shortcomings in front of others, you can get better results.Especially those who have high social status and great power do so, and the effect they receive will be more significant and ideal.

As the saying goes: "To be with the king is like to be with the tiger." It is dangerous to be close to the boss, but if you are not close to the boss, you will never have a bright future. It is not wrong to remember that great men generally like dull men.Any leader has the need to gain prestige, and he does not want his subordinates to surpass and replace him.Therefore, when personnel are transferred, if an excellent and powerful person is assigned to his subordinates, the boss will be worried because he is worried that one day the other party will rob him of his position.On the contrary, if he sends a mediocre person under his command, he can sit back and relax.

Therefore, smart subordinates will always find ways to conceal their own strength, and use pretended stupidity to contrast the leadership's brilliance, in an attempt to gain the favor and appreciation of the leader.When the leader expounds a certain point of view, he will pretend to be suddenly enlightened, and take the lead in applauding; when he has a good and feasible method for a certain job, instead of directly expressing his opinion, he will use hints and other methods in private to promptly Inform the leader, and at the same time, throw out even "stupid" opinions that are contrary to it.Over time, although he has a poor image among the masses and is a bit "mentally retarded", the leaders favor him a lot.

More often than not, the boss needs and promotes those loyal and reliable subordinates who are not very outstanding, because he thinks it is more beneficial to his career.There is an ancient Chinese idiom called "Nanyuanbeizhe", which means that the destination is in the south, but the driving direction is aimed at the north, and the faster you run, the farther you will be from your goal.In the same way, if the boss uses a disloyal subordinate who is always against him or "is in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han", then the more fully the ability of this subordinate is used, it may damage the interests of the boss. bigger.

Therefore, people who are good at dealing with the world often deliberately leave a little flaw in the obvious place, so that people can see that he "even got such a simple thing wrong".In this way, even though you are outstanding, others will not keep you at a distance. Once he finds out that "you are also at fault", he will shorten the distance between him and you. As for the tasks assigned by your boss, you can finish them in three steps, five times, and two times. Your boss will be surprised by your vigorous energy first, because you are highly efficient.And because you are fast, although you have completed the task, it may not be perfect. At this time, the boss will give some pointers to show that he is superior to you.This is like reserving the central position of the rostrum for the leader, just waiting for him to give the "supreme instructions."Moreover, your colleagues may think that you are not very special, just a little "hair".Colleagues agree with your shortcomings, which is equivalent to accommodating you emotionally, and feel that you are "equal" with themselves. In this case, the possibility of you becoming a target of public criticism is greatly reduced.
