Chapter 175 Safflower dedicated to boss Dai

Sometimes we try our best to achieve a great thing. We should enjoy the "icing on the cake" treatment, but wait a minute, don't be too happy, it's better to leave this "flower" to the boss. Liu Bang once asked Han Xin: "How many soldiers do you think I can lead?" Han Xin said: "Your Majesty can lead no more than 100,000 troops at most." Liu Bang asked again: "What about you?" Han Xin said: "The more the better." How could Liu Bang not be worried about his answer? As a subordinate, the most taboo is to show one's merits and boast one's ability. Nine times out of ten, such people will be suspected and end badly.Because it is very annoying to be compared by others, especially one's own subordinates.So your boss is surpassed by you, which is not only a stupid thing for you, but even a bad thing.It is always annoying to forget your boss when you think you have meritorious service, and it is especially easy to arouse the jealousy of your boss.But some people do it very cleverly.

Gong Sui was a capable official in the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.At that time, the disasters in the Bohai area continued for many years, and the people could not bear it. They gathered people to rebel. Gong Sui came to the post by bicycle to appease the people, rest with the people, encourage farmers to cultivate fields and plant mulberry, and stipulated that each farmer should plant one elm tree, one hundred bamboo shoots, fifty spring onions, one bed of leeks, and two sows. Five chickens, for those who were wary and still carried swords, he advised: "Why don't you sell your swords and buy a cow?" Gong Sui became famous.

Therefore, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty summoned him to return to court.Gong Sui had a subordinate official, Mr. Wang, who asked to go to Chang'an with him, saying, "I will do you good!" The other subordinate officials disagreed, saying, "This man is drunk all day, and It’s easy to talk big, but it’s better not to take him there!” Gong Sui said, “Let him go if he wants to go!” After arriving in Chang'an, this Mr. Wang was still intoxicated and did not see Gong Sui.But one day, when he heard that the emperor was going to summon Gong Sui, he said to his servants, "Call the master to my residence, I have something to say to him!"

Gong Sui didn't care about Mr. Wang's appearance as a drunkard and a madman, and he really came.Mr. Wang asked: "If the Son of Heaven asks you how to govern the Bohai Sea, how should you answer?" Gong Sui said: "I'm talking about appointing talented people, making people do their best, strictly enforcing the law, and clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments." Mr. Wang shook his head again and again: "Not good! Not good! Isn't it boastful to say so? Please answer this way: 'This is not the merit of the little minister, but the influence of the mighty spirit of the emperor!'"

Gong Sui accepted his suggestion and answered Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty according to his words. Emperor Xuan Xuan of the Han Dynasty was very happy, so he kept Gong Sui by his side and assumed an important and light official position. You must know that in a feudal society, it is a taboo for ministers to "conquer the master". Although the times have changed, in a relatively self-contained enterprise, the authority of the enterprise's top decision-maker is also unquestionable.Even if you are a veteran of the company and a pioneer in entrepreneurship, remember not to take credit for yourself.

We've seen quite a few well-known managers get out of the game because they took credit for their pride and success.These lessons tell us that to be a successful professional, especially when it comes to the position of the boss's deputy, it is not enough to have the character of "Zongfang Da", the ability to strategize and convincing performance, but also to know "" The truths of "big voices and few voices" and "no success has an end".
