The success of the company means not only the success of the boss, but also the success of every employee. Every employee should understand this truth: only when the company grows stronger can you have greater development. The relationship between the company and you is "one glory and one glory, one loss and one loss". Only by recognizing this, can you win the appreciation and respect of your boss in your work.
You should always remember that your mission is to help the boss achieve the company's goals. Of course, these goals sometimes seem very simple and clear, but sometimes they are not so precise and thorough. You have to dig deeper.
Tom is the sales manager of a textile company in new york. He is very satisfied with his sales performance. Many times, he told his boss Corelaus how he worked hard for the company and how he persuaded the owner of a clothing factory to order the company's goods. However, Corelaus just nodded and gently agreed.
Finally, Tom summoned up his courage. "Our business is selling textiles, isn't it?" He asked, "Don't you like my client?"
Corelaus, like him, looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Tom, you put your energy into a small clothing factory, but he spent too much of our energy." Please pay attention to the big customers who can order 3000 yards at a time! "
Tom immediately changed his sales strategy and gave his small customer to a broker. Although he only received a small commission, more importantly, he is trying to achieve his goal-to find bigger customers.
When people pursue their goals, it's easy to forget the original purpose: the boss thinks you can do your best to contribute to his or her success. Many company employees have verified the value of this rule.
There is an assistant manager in charge of the supermarket chain. Both she and her manager think that if the chain stores expand, the business can be doubled. But the boss is still hesitant, because it is difficult for the boss to determine the future of management, that is, whether the expansion of scale can bring appropriate returns. At a regional sales meeting, the deputy manager said excitedly: "The work is progressing smoothly and the chain store business is booming. Most managers often complain that they can't cram all the goods and users into such a small space. If there is a bigger place, our sales will definitely increase, and we will go all out under the existing conditions. "
A few weeks later, the boss added a wing to her chain store. As expected, sales increased rapidly, and the boss spoke highly of her excellent performance.
However, what I want to tell every employee here is that there is a more important rule: helping the boss is by no means flattering the boss. Not every boss is a generalist. He will make mistakes and encounter problems. Maybe these things are beyond your scope of work, but you must never stand by and watch, because these difficulties will hinder the development of the company. Only by helping the boss solve these problems can he walk faster on the road to success.
Carl is a department assistant in a university, and his boss Rogge is in charge of managing students and faculty. The poor sign-in system makes students often have to register before class. Many classes are crowded, while others are too small to cancel. Rogge is under pressure to improve the student sign-in system. Carl volunteered to organize research and was responsible for developing a new system. The boss agreed with him happily, so the research team developed a greatly improved system. Later, in an organizational restructuring, Rogge was promoted to director, and then Carl was promoted to deputy director. Rogge highly praised Carl for developing and successfully completing this system.
At any time, people who are consistent with their bosses and help them succeed will often eventually become the backbone of the company and become enviable successful people themselves.
There is a young engineer named Brian Clemens in Cox Cable Company in New Orleans, USA. His work place is in the suburbs. One morning, Clemens went to an equipment store to buy wood. While waiting for chopping wood, he overheard someone complaining about the poor service of Cox Company. The man talked more and more vigorously, so that eight or nine shop assistants gathered around to listen to him.
Brian has several options. As a matter of fact, he is on vacation, he has his own work to do, and his wife is waiting for him to come home. He can turn a deaf ear and mind his own business. But Brian came forward and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I heard what you said to these people." I work for Cox Company. Would you like to give me a chance to improve this situation? I assure you that our company will definitely solve your problem. "
The expressions on those people's faces were all surprised. Brian was not wearing a company uniform. He went to the pay phone and called the company back. The company immediately sent a repairman to the customer's home to wait for him and help him solve the problem until he was satisfied. Later, Brian went one step further. After returning to work, he called the customer to make sure that he was satisfied with everything. He also offered the customer a two-week extension of the application period and apologized for the inconvenience caused. Afterwards, Brian was highly praised by the company's head, Geppet. He called on all employees of the company to learn from Brian.
This kind of thing may not have happened to you. In fact, in many companies, such a service has never even been heard of. It's incredible that an employee should undertake such a responsibility! This is not your job at all. Why do you mind your own business and "waste" your precious vacation time? It's really impossible But Geppet, the head of Cox, has a way to cultivate this mentality in the company. He let every employee know that Cox Company is their company, and the success of the company will bring their personal success. Geppet said: "Of course, this is just something out of date. However, it is this kind of thing that we want employees to participate in. "
