What is the reason? Are those people who you think are inferior to you really inferior to you?
I am a self-aware person, that is, an honest man who works diligently and practically. But I know that those who are usually rewarded for their Excellence are not really inferior to themselves.
For example, Xiaoqing in the same department came to work one year later than me, but after working together for two years, she was promoted to the director of our new department.
Xiaoqing is outgoing and lively, young and beautiful. Soon after I came to the unit, I became one with the whole unit. Everyone seems to like her very much. But slowly, everyone found such a rule. After getting familiar with colleagues, Xiaoqing began to follow in the footsteps of leaders. We will see that she often eats with the leaders, helps them to wash a bowl of rice, sends them home after work, and sits next to them at meetings. I often give gifts to leaders from time to time.
We'll scold you behind your back when we see it. Another flatterer is coming. It's shameless. But when my colleagues around me said this, I actually envied Xiaoqing because she could do what I always wanted to do but couldn't.
Therefore, in the two years of our colleagues at the same level, Xiaoqing was an excellent employee in the year-end assessment. Slowly, a group of colleagues sneered at her, thinking that these were all flattering. When I said this, it seemed that all the awards were disgraced, as if winning the prize was a shame.
Later, the unit set up a new department, and the leader let Xiaoqing be the director and head of the department without consulting any of us, and arranged me and several other colleagues under her door.
This time, Xiaoqing became my direct leader. At the same time, when I was in close contact with Xiaoqing, I deeply understood the reason why the big leader promoted her.
In fact, Xiaoqing is not without skill. After studying abroad, she is very fluent in English. What she is good at is communication and coordination. For example, she can arrange the work assigned to her by the big leader, arrange the parts she is not good at to others in her own way, and she is good at communicating with others. She spends a lot of time chatting with others every day, getting to know their strengths and advantages, and arranging her work properly into something that others are good at.
There are so many people around the great leader. As for why she was appreciated by the leaders, I have a very deep memory here.
In the opening speech of a regular meeting, the great leader said that my meeting today will be brief because I have to catch a plane later, and then we will continue the meeting.
But after the meeting, the big leader came to our office and explained some precautions. Xiaoqing immediately stood up and said, "Leader, there is no car to go to the airport now, right?" In case you miss the plane, shall I take you? "
Then Xiaoqing drove her car to send the leader to the airport.
When Xiaoqing left, the office exploded. They said, How did Xiaoqing know that the leader was going to build a plane? How accurate is her investigation? Even the leader's private affairs are known.
I looked up and said to several other colleagues, "Didn't the big leader say it before the meeting? She has a short meeting today. Is she going on a business trip? "
Several other colleagues said: it seems that the big leader did say it, but we didn't pay attention.
In fact, everyone in the office has a car, but our boss is 65 years old and can't drive because of carsickness. She doesn't have a car. We all know this situation, and we all know that the unit is remote and it is not easy to take a taxi, but none of us can remember to send the leader to the airport.
But Xiao Qing just thought of it.
This reminds me of the word EQ. Although I study psychology and know a lot of psychological knowledge, it is Xiaoqing who applies it to the extreme in real life.
So I summed it up: those who you think are not as good as yourself are not as good as you.
1, she may not do as much practical work as you (such as modifying forms and writing reports)
2. Her or her work is not as good as yours (for example, your form is more perfect and your report is better).
But what she surpasses you is:
1, she knows more about communication than you do (communication with the leaders above and communication with the employees below).
2. She is more careful and patient than you. She can observe the finalists (she can pay attention to all aspects of life).
3. She knows the heart of a leader better than you (she can understand the likes and dislikes of a leader through frequent contact).
She and the leader will always stand on the same front (the leader's decision is her decision)
She knows better than you how to show her work to the leader. But what did you do? Although you think it is excellent, many leaders don't know it. )
6. She knows better how to report to the leader.
Maybe you will complain, my god, I am naturally afraid of contact with leaders, and I am not the kind of cautious person by nature. Am I destined to hang out at the bottom of society all my life? I was born with bad karma, right?
Actually, it's not. The key is to find your own position, give full play to your own specialties, and always implement it conscientiously. In the final analysis, it is most important for people to stick to their own nature.
I am the honest, inarticulate person who only knows how to work hard. Although I envy Xiaoqing for making such rapid progress, I envy her for being able to control Pengyuan. But I know very well that I can't do what she did. Some things others do naturally, but they are hard and awkward to do by themselves, so I choose to be myself.
I have always been serious and responsible for my work, and what I am told will never go wrong. I remember that it was a very important job assigned to us by the big leader. Because of the tight time and heavy tasks, everyone has a clear division of labor and set a deadline for submitting tasks. Because I am skilled in operating office software at ordinary times, I use the formula skillfully and concisely. So I handed in my part of the work before the deadline, and the big leader was very satisfied after inspection.
Then I was assigned to help them finish their work, not those who couldn't.
After this incident, the big leader also looked at me with new eyes. He gave me some important jobs from time to time, and slowly I became the backbone of the unit.
So I think, no matter where you are, be yourself and be earnest, gold will always shine.
