Theoretically speaking, it is difficult to complete a brochure from scratch in five days. The reason for this is the following：
1. It takes a lot of time to prepare in advance.
To filter the pictures, you need to select the pictures suitable for the brochure from your company's photo library or online. If you encounter an unfamiliar product, you need to take time to learn and identify it.
The brochure still needs editing, which is a nightmare for people who are not familiar with the company and industry. Unlike assembly line operation, it has a relatively perfect workflow. Many times, we rack our brains in front of the computer for a long time, and we can't hold back a few words.
2. Find an advertising company for typesetting.
Finding an advertising company is also a laborious process. There is no standard for design fees. Many times, we can only refer to the success stories given by the other party. For outsiders, we can't tell the difference between "good" and "bad" at all, because the information given by the other party is the same: "You need to provide pictures and copy, and it would be better if there is a more satisfactory framework." The quotations also vary greatly. The design fee of each page ranges from ten yuan to several hundred yuan, and there is no market reference price at all.
Moreover, it is difficult for advertising companies to provide one-to-one service. While cooperating with us, they will also cooperate with other enterprises. This will also consume a lot of docking time.
3. In addition to this task, Rui Rui needs to do other work.
The work of the administrator himself is more complicated, and sometimes there is no extra time for a busy day. In order to complete the task assigned by the general manager, Rui Rui worked overtime every day at the expense of the weekend.
However, no matter how hard Rui Rui tried, she couldn't finish the brochure in a week.
In the workplace, things like Rui Rui happen all the time. The reason is that many leaders are prone to make the following three mistakes:
1, unreasonable work arrangement.
Many leaders believe that as long as things are implemented to specific personnel, it is equivalent to "reasonable arrangement of work." In fact, enterprises that uphold this concept to release tasks often make employees exhausted. Think about it, if employees receive a task that they are not good at, they need to spend a lot of time exploring and learning, which directly leads to two results: First, the efficiency of completion is relatively low; Second, the quality of completion is relatively low.
This is a typical poor employment. For example, if you want to pick the fruit from the top of the tree, you should arrange for the monkey to do it. But some leaders insist on arranging dogs to climb trees, thinking that "I believe dogs can climb trees as long as they exercise." For dogs, if they spend most of their energy on training, they can barely climb trees. But this greatly reduces the dog's function, because it picks fruit very slowly and may even damage the fruit.
This is what the ancients said: "With talents, there is no need for people in the world; People who lack people are useless in the world. " Arranging unreasonable tasks for employees will ultimately lose the interests of the company.
2, employees can't finish the task, the leadership will only criticize.
The leader took it for granted: "Isn't it normal to criticize an employee for incompetence?" In fact, if leaders focus on criticizing employees, the impact on the company and employees is often more harmful than beneficial. The leader criticized the employees, but the problem still can't be solved, and the employees won't grow. In the end, leaders still need to deal with this problem themselves. Moreover, the long-term criticism of employees by leaders will lead employees to be afraid to make suggestions, which is very unfavorable to the company. Because it is the grass-roots employees who really carry out the company's tasks, they are the easiest to find potential problems. If many problems cannot be solved in time, there will be many hidden dangers. However, if leaders often criticize employees, employees will think: "If I take the initiative to ask questions now, I will be criticized by leaders for my lack of ability;" When the problem comes out, the leader will criticize me for incompetence. Anyway, you are dead. You might as well do nothing and wait to be scolded. Anyway, it's not me who bears the responsibility in the end, it's the leader. "
I would like to ask, if all employees of an enterprise have this idea, can the enterprise develop steadily?
3. Leaders always think that their ideas can be accurately conveyed to employees.
Many leaders always think that the problems they have expressed are clear enough, but in fact, employees have not accurately received the true intentions expressed by leaders. Some employees are afraid to ask and will take many detours; Some employees asked the leader for advice, and the leader criticized "Why do you have to ask questions about so many things?"
As managers, we must understand that sometimes our own understanding of "common sense" will confuse employees. We need to be patient enough to explain to employees, let employees know their goals, and then move towards them.
Then, as employees, if we encounter a situation like Rui Rui, how should we solve it? Share three suggestions here:
1, communicate with leaders and put all problems in place. The reason why we are at a loss is often because we don't know what kind of results leaders want. But many people are afraid to ask for a simple reason: they are afraid of being criticized by leaders. We always think that consulting leaders repeatedly about one thing will make them feel stupid and annoying, thus lowering their position in the eyes of leaders.
In fact, most bosses have no such idea at all. What the boss wants most is that the employees can finish his instructions accurately. Because only in this way can the company produce benefits.
If the boss is biased against you because you ask too many questions, you will be depressed with such a boss, because he can always find your weakness and then constantly condemn you. Think about it, what will happen if you face the negation of others every day? In the long run, your self-esteem and self-confidence will be exhausted, and you will doubt whether you are qualified for this job, and then doubt whether you have the ability to work. This will have a very negative impact on your career.
Of course, sometimes the leaders will criticize us because our statements are not clear enough and the leaders have not received the correct information. Therefore, learning to convey information accurately is also an important skill.
2. Rationalize unreasonable demands. As the saying goes, "No one is perfect without gold", we can't be good at everything, so we need teams, cooperation, help and support. On the premise of this fact, you need to explain to the leader that it is difficult for you to finish this task, and you need the support of others; If the leader insists that you finish it, you can show it to the leader, which will consume most of your time and energy to operate it. Even so, the results you give may not satisfy the leaders, but will also affect the progress and efficiency of other work.
In doing so, you are telling the leader that the task you gave me is beyond my ability, but I didn't shirk it, or you can arrange others' help for me to finish the work within the time limit; Either give me some time and let me have more time to study again. Only by rationalizing unreasonable tasks can we give the leaders a satisfactory answer. You know, leaders don't want to get a perfunctory result, so why don't you try to provide some more reasonable suggestions to the leaders so that they can understand your difficulties better?
If all the above methods fail, you can consider leaving your job. I have to say that there are always some leaders who simply don't understand the difficulties of employees and often accuse employees: "I only look at the results, don't tell me the process. For me, all explanations are excuses! " "I invited you here to solve the problem, otherwise what are you doing here?" They believe that one thing can be completed as long as it is concretely implemented to people. Whether to criticize the responsible person or not.
When you meet such a leader, I suggest you leave your job quickly, because you can't learn any useful skills in such an enterprise. Such a leader will only give you instructions, and you can't learn anything useful from him. Then why are you following him? You know, a person's ability depends largely on his immediate superior. When you encounter a problem, ask the leader for advice. He will give you effective advice and let you learn the correct solution. If the leader only gives you an instruction, and then you need to explore for yourself, then what is the significance of this leader's existence? Moreover, such leaders will often urge you to make progress in your work and make you exhausted. Over time, you will have anxiety.
In this case, it is better to leave your job quickly and find another job. I believe there are many employment opportunities in this era. As long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about not finding a better job.
Leaders are not saints, and sometimes they are guilty. As employees, when we encounter unreasonable tasks arranged by leaders, the first thing we should do is not confrontation, not escape. Neither of these methods will make you grow. You should face up to the problem and arrange your tasks reasonably, which will bring good results to you and the company. If you are unfortunate enough to meet a leader with a fixed mind, I suggest you leave, because such a leader can hardly change himself in a short time. If you work under his command, you are likely to suffer.
You know, in this day and age, leaving your job is not a shameful thing. Looking for a job is like falling in love. Only what suits you can last long.
