The leader asked if you were busy,
You just said:
not bad
busy
Take your time.
In the past, I was most afraid that the leader would suddenly ask if he was busy and arrange a new job; Speaking of being busy, leaders feel that their work efficiency is not high.
Later, I learned that it can be divided into six scenes, understand the subtext of the leader, and respond to the leader's question whether he is busy or not.
1 During work, the leader calls or sends a message to ask if you are busy.
The subtext of the leader: temporary extra work, and now there are work tasks for you to do.
If you are busy now and don't have time to take on the new task of leadership, you can say, "I'm trying to arrange time to do the important task you arranged last time." At present, XX link has been made. what can I do for you? "
This answer shows that your workload is saturated. General leaders are embarrassed to give you another job.
Ask if you are busy in the corporate area of the company (elevators, aisles, etc.). )
The subtext of the leader: It means the same thing as asking if you want to eat, just saying hello and chatting to kill time.
You can say, "It's a good thing that I just took a project and I'm a little busy."
On holidays/weekends, I called to ask if you were busy.
Subtext: Now the company is in a hurry and needs you to go back to the company to work overtime.
If you don't want to go back, you can say: there are other important things to deal with at home, and you really can't leave. Being sincere means that you don't want to help, but you can't help because of something at home.
Go to your seat and ask softly if you are busy.
Subtext: I need your help in personal affairs.
The general wants to see you in private and will help if he can. You can say: there are still some things to deal with now, but you can spare some time. What can I do for the leader?
During the project, ask if you are busy.
Subtext: I don't know how the project is going. You should report the progress to me.
The leader arranged for you to follow up the project because he knew your workload and suddenly asked if you were busy, which actually implied that you didn't report your work in time. You have to say: I have been working overtime on the XX project recently, and the project has reached the XX link. Next, we will enter the XX link, leading. Do you have any instructions? "
The progress of the project is slower than expected. Are you busy?
Subtext: What are you up to? Finish the project soon?
The leader clearly knows the progress of the project and suddenly asks if you are busy. In fact, he doesn't like slow progress. You can say: the XX part of this project needs more time to achieve the expected results. I have tried my best to catch up with the progress.
