How to Improve Employees —— Excerpt from Professor Ceng Shiqiang's teaching you how to lead a team?

Here are three tips that are effective ways for employees to get promoted:

First, do your job well and find time to share your worries and help your boss. A person can only do his job well, and has no spare time to visit his boss, chat with him, share his troubles and help him. When the boss saw it, he knew, "This man is exhausted by his present position and can't consider promoting him any more."

If a person doesn't do his job well, but he is crowded around the boss all day, chatting with him and often asking him, "What can I do for you?" Everyone must have called him "flattering", and the boss was surprised: "Why do you always wander around here and do nothing?" Dare I ask you for help? Aren't you worried that you will help? "

If you can't do it well, you want to share your worries and help your boss. It is a typical villain behavior, which is despised by gentlemen.

Doing a good job, but not knowing how to help the boss, is the road to self-destruction, you can't blame the boss, you must review yourself.

People who know how to take care of both, on the one hand, do their job well and let the boss change from "reassuring" to "appreciating"; On the other hand, I will use the opportunity of asking for instructions, reporting and chatting to help my boss, suggesting that he not only has the spare capacity to do things, but also is loyal, concerned and trusting to him.

In addition to appreciation, the boss often assigns various matters temporarily, and gradually develops a sense of trust. The closer the relationship between them, once there is a chance of promotion, they will naturally give priority and even strongly recommend it.

Second, be good at understanding the boss's wishes and help him reach the right decision. Subordinates only know to ask their superiors for instructions in everything, and the boss will think that this person is either lazy or afraid of being responsible, and use the instructions to push the responsibility to the boss. And asking for instructions often shows his incompetence, because people who don't know how to do it will have problems everywhere. It can be seen that subordinates who often ask for instructions have little chance of promotion.

On the contrary, those who are sure of themselves and keep saying "take responsibility for themselves" actually worry the boss the most. First of all, the boss will think that "this person is arrogant, thinks too highly of himself and is prone to make mistakes", and second, he thinks that he "makes decisions without authorization and has no boss in his mind; Since he looks down on me, why should I care about him? " At the same time, I feel ridiculous: "He is responsible for himself? What a big joke! What responsibility can he bear if he doesn't look in the mirror himself? The result is not that I am unlucky? " Capable people often lose the trust of their superiors. On the surface, it seems that the superior suffers from "talent envy". In fact, the subordinate is the "master of Gao Zhen" and will certainly die.

The wisdom of "giving consideration to both" is that "you are sure, but you should respect the boss's ruling power." I must be responsible for it myself, but I must get the boss's permission in advance. "

Running for instructions with an empty head is a joke that the boss looks down upon. Using an idea to make decisions without authorization and ignoring the boss's decision-making power will inevitably cause the boss's dissatisfaction and anxiety. If you use your head, after you come up with a good idea, use your abdomen to ask for instructions. Speak your mind first, provide the boss with the direction of thinking and the material of judgment, and respect the power the boss has. At this time, the boss can make the right decision as easy as blowing off dust. He has a lot of face, and it is easy for you to implement it, which is good for everyone. Of course, such people have a better chance of promotion.

Third, show yourself in front of your boss and give your subordinates a chance to give full play. If you only pay attention to your own performance in front of your boss, but don't know how to make room for your subordinates to have the opportunity to perform at the same time, then your subordinates will have great dissatisfaction with you, and secretly mocking you will only be a "superficial article" to show off to your boss.

If you are afraid that your boss will have an illusion that your subordinates are more capable, then the best way to let your subordinates take your place on a whim is to establish a tacit understanding with them and adopt the principle of "separation": if your boss is absent, let your subordinates perform as much as possible, and you play the role of assistant, evaluator and motivator; Show yourself when the boss is present. I hope subordinates can improve their loyalty and cooperation, and fully prove your ability and courage. Usually, as long as time permits, try to let subordinates perform and improve their ability and confidence from their work; In case of emergency, time does not allow, you will step forward and take the lead in making effective decisions.

The above three tips mainly focus on "consideration". We should not only consider the relationship between the superior and the subordinate, but also consider the operation between the left and right. If you cover everything from top to bottom, you will have more help and less resistance. Of course, the promotion is expected and deserved.

I have two views on promotion:

First, everyone in the company can be promoted quickly, which means that no one is promoted. This is something that American companies should reflect on. People in Japanese companies get promoted slowly, but their titles carry a lot of weight.

Second, when you have an opportunity, you don't have to seize it. Some people will say that it is now or never, but it is not. If you behave well, you will have a chance in the future. Since you gave the opportunity to others, it shows that your self-restraint is good and may not be harmful to you. After someone else has done this position, he doesn't do well. You can learn from him. Well done, you can absorb his experience. At first glance, someone else robbed your seat, but in fact they were your "pathfinder". In addition, people who are competitive tend to arouse the vigilance of others, and as a result, they only grasp the small ones and not the big ones.

An old pioneer lost his horse-a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Promotion is certainly a gain, but not promotion is not necessarily a loss. Hu Xueyan once refused a promotion. He used to be a salesman, but later he was promoted to business manager. His performance has been very good, so the boss wanted to promote him to vice president, but he refused. The boss is strange. His position is higher and his salary is higher. Why not do it? Hu Xueyan said, "If I become a vice president, I will be embarrassed to go out to talk about business often, and I will lose many opportunities and relationships. Moreover, the success of teenagers will limit my growth. It is better to run a business outside, which can enrich your knowledge, expand your contacts, and help your growth. "
