Xiao Zhang is a financial cashier and is responsible for reimbursement. On one occasion, he found several inconsistencies in the documents reimbursed by Lao Wang, the sales manager.
So, Xiao Zhang reported to the leader and asked how to deal with it.
The leader said: What do you think should be done?
Xiao Zhang said: "According to the company system, no reimbursement, informed criticism!"
The leader said, "Well, I see."
Xiao Zhang handled the matter in his own way, and it was not long before Xiao Zhang was dismissed by the company.
When he left, the leader said to Xiao Zhang, "Don't you know that Lao Wang, the sales manager, is the brother-in-law of the general manager?"
Many times, when the leader asks you what to do about it, you must think it over before you can answer, otherwise you will end up like Xiao Zhang.
As a superior, at this time, he is asking for, or even sounding your advice to increase his judgment. Maybe he already has the answer in his heart, but he must ask for it in many ways. Since he asks you, you can't play it by ear. Otherwise, the leader will think that you are really incompetent.
After all, the leader's advice to you is to respect you, which represents his trust in you. At the same time, I hope everyone can give valuable information. You don't need a real flatterer.
If faced with this question, you can answer it in the following three steps, and the leader will definitely favor you.
First, multiple perspectives
For example, in the above case, Xiao completely answered this question.
When the leader asked: What about Xiao Zhang?
Xiao Changcan said: I have never encountered such a thing. Would you please help me? (Show weakness and give leadership a step)
The leader is likely to give you guidance and hints.
Xiao Zhangcan said: I'll go back and ask Lao Wang first. Did the assistant post the ticket at the bottom by mistake? (circuitous tactics)
The leader is likely to nod in agreement.
At this time, don't be in a hurry. Instead, you should think from the perspective of the leader, what is the real intention of the leader, and look at it from a higher angle and from multiple perspectives. If you don't agree with the leader, you can also make suggestions directly.
But there must be space.
Second, there is a way.
Since the leader asked you this question, then the leader must want someone to deal with it.
As for who will solve the problem, that is a follow-up matter. What leaders want most now is a solution.
For example, if Xiao Zhang above has multiple perspectives and provides solutions at the same time, the leaders will naturally know fairly well and make judgments.
Therefore, at this time, when you analyze from multiple angles, you must put forward a solution, otherwise it will be empty talk.
For example: who will solve it, when is the best time, how much budget, how to use it, how many steps and so on. When you say this, the leader's eyebrows will stretch a lot.
I will definitely pat you on the shoulder and say, how thoughtful!
Third, take the initiative to attack.
After you finish the method, you'd better add "Otherwise, leave it to me!"
If the leader has already been chosen, he will naturally say it.
If there is no leader at this time, he will be very happy if you say so.
After all, if you want to show your value in the workplace, you must do more things and do what leaders want to do, so that you can be overweight in the hearts of leaders. Promotion and salary increase is not a dream.
Moreover, doing more projects and being more responsible is the ladder for everyone to grow up. Won many opportunities. If you don't take the initiative to speak, then maybe such a good opportunity will fall to others.
Therefore, when the leader asks you what to do and how to look at it, don't be afraid, don't panic, calmly follow the above three steps and seize the opportunity. Promotion and salary increase is not a dream!
