Do you want to give a gift for the leader's birthday, will it make other colleagues disgusted?

A friend asked me: in the workplace, when I meet holidays, customers' birthdays, customers' visits, leaders' birthdays, etc. I want to give a gift to the leader, but I am afraid of flattery from other colleagues. I don't want to pay bribes to the leader and want to express my mind. What's the best way to give gifts and help yourself?

In fact, leaders should also look at people. Some leaders like you to kiss up and give him gifts. However, some leaders are very taboo about this. You need to consider the preferences of leaders and find the right way to give gifts.

It is difficult to have a universal method to "fix" all leaders. Here, I share some personal thoughts with my own experience.

First, you can send some hometown specialties to the leaders. If you are afraid of sending something too expensive, consider sending some hometown specialties to the leaders.

There can be many specialties, such as fruit, dry goods, alcohol and so on. There is no fixed time for these majors. For example, fruits have certain seasonality, while alcohol often has no definite time.

When to send, there are usually three options:

1, seasonal delivery of specialty products

This mainly refers to gifts such as fruits. In this season, you are going to send them directly to the leaders. I also have specialty fruit in my hometown. When the fruit is ripe, I will send some to the leader, but I will often share some with my colleagues in the department or next door, so that I can make it clear even if I see you bring it to the leader.

2, traditional festivals to send

This is mainly aimed at specialties without specific seasons, but you can give them to leaders on traditional festivals such as Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Spring Festival as a token of appreciation.

After the leader has helped you, ask the leader or thank him.

This situation is also quite common. For example, I was sick once before, and the leader gave me a whole month's holiday and took care of me at work, so I sent some special products to thank the leader when I came back from illness.

In short, the value of these specialties is often not too high, and they are representatives of your hometown, or they have special opportunities (for example, I said thank you for your help, etc.). ), and the probability of leaders receiving gifts is relatively high.

The value of your gift is particularly high, and the leader will have concerns. If someone reports bribery, won't it hurt the leader?

Second, giving gifts should start with temptation. If you can't get up, it will cost a lot of money, especially for newcomers in the workplace. Going to work in the company, I am not so familiar with the leader, and I don't understand the temper and preferences of the leader. I suggest you don't give heavy gifts easily.

For example, a cousin of mine has just joined a state-owned enterprise. He thought that all state-owned enterprises were worldly, so he prepared many bottles of Maotai and sent them to the leadership office.

As a result, the leader not only had no staff, but also severely criticized his cousin.

The leader said: this gift-giving atmosphere is very bad! At a young age, if you don't focus on your work, you just want to go the wrong way!

Cousin touched a rebuff and went back in frustration. It seems that this matter has also been heard by other colleagues in the company, and others are laughing at him behind his back because he doesn't know the routine. How could he send such an expensive gift when he just came to the company! He may not understand the style of leadership, and the most taboo is to give him gifts in person!

My cousin also asked my opinion when he came back. I told him that he was really impatient. It's not like the leader doesn't accept any gifts. I just really need to observe more when I first came here. It's best to explore opportunities first, such as sending some fruits and snacks when reporting work, or bringing something to the leaders when you come back from a business trip. See if the leader will accept these small gifts.

If even a small gift is very verbally rejected, then there is a high probability that it will be difficult for you to give him anything of value.

Third, giving gifts can give you extra points in the workplace, but you don't have to rely on this method to get close to the leader. I have worked for so many years, and I do have the experience of giving gifts to leaders, but it is really not much.

Maybe it's mainly to send some gifts of hometown specialties or tourist belts, because I personally think that working in the unit, the leader still cares about your personal work performance.

Or more clearly, what help and value you can bring to the leaders in your work may be what they are most concerned about.

It is also important to communicate with your normal leader. Is there only a gift to the leadership office?

You can report more on your work, chat with leaders and strengthen communication. I think this way brings the relationship between you closer.

Even if you like it in a circle of friends, it is also an interaction under comments.

What I am most afraid of is that some people insist on giving gifts to their leaders and thinking about hugging their thighs. As a result, their thighs are gone and they are not competitive, and they are at risk of being eaten by others!
