"I will accompany you in the branch general election."

1

In the recent branch general election, colleague A was on the list as one of the candidates, but was not selected in the end.

He had a very good attitude: "I'm just accompanying the selection, so that's expected."

I remembered that a friend in my group complained last year: "I took a temporary job at the grassroots level. One day, half a year later, the leader called me back to the unit and told me that I would be elected for the branch election and asked me to be prepared. But when the election results came out, I found out that I was the candidate, and I was very depressed. "Why don't you call me as a companion? Why don't you call me back, who has been working at the grassroots level for half a year, and let everyone laugh at me?"

His remarks? Just like a small stone thrown into the lake, it quickly caused ripples. Everyone spoke one after another, some comforted him, and some complained about their own similar experiences. In the end, everyone had a relatively unanimous view: this is a normal phenomenon, and it must be avoided. Treat it with a normal attitude.

I completely understand the mood of that little friend: for something that I never had any hope for, suddenly one day the leader personally extended an olive branch, which made my heart have a little expectation, thinking that after many years of The hard work finally started to pay off a little bit, but I was still not happy about the result. This small expectation was quickly suppressed by reality.

If the leader does not give himself any hope or expectation from the beginning, he will naturally not be a little bit disappointed and depressed. But what does the leader mean by trying so hard to draw a picture?

Tell me about my own experience.

When I was in my third year at the institution, I was still very enthusiastic about book business. I believed everything my boss said and took seriously whatever my boss asked me to do. One time, a committee was formed within the unit to select members. The leader called me to the office. He praised me so much that I was so dizzy that I had nowhere to put my hands and feet. Then he threw me a hydrangea to express his intention to remove me. Listed as a candidate to encourage and affirm. There is only one implication: he thought of me when he had the opportunity, he did not treat me badly, and asked me to continue to work hard in the future!

As for the result, you must have guessed it. I was the one who accompanied the selection. In fact, the leaders had already agreed on the same message. They liked another person. In order to show fairness, they also roped me in to accompany the selection.

At that time, I was extremely depressed because of this incident, and no one guided me to digest it. Fortunately, it did not cause too much psychological shadow in the end.

After working for a long time, I gradually discovered that similar situations are normal. In fact, my level is too low, I don’t understand the work rules of the agency, and I don’t understand the art of leadership. After all, I am still too serious. Quite a bit.

From the work rules of the agency, taking the branch general election as an example, according to the election principles and procedures, branch committee members must be recommended based on the difference.

As a leader, how could he not consider everything and then make a list of suggestions? Who should be the main candidate and who should be the alternate, the tone has basically been set before the official election.

After years of observation, we can draw a conclusion: Whether he can become a branch committee member is not necessarily related to his own hard work, excellence or ability, but to his experience, position and the group he represents. related.

Why? This needs to be analyzed from the perspective of leadership's "all-inclusive consideration". I summarize the general principle of their consideration as: overall view, which specifically includes the following three aspects:

Age and position. The elected branch committee members should be able to reflect the strength of the three generations of the old, middle and young people, so as to embody "teaching and mentoring" and reflect diversity. The older generation naturally comes from those with certain positions and authority, the middle generation generally comes from middle-level leaders, and the younger generation generally comes from new entrants.

Party age. This is easy to understand. Naturally, it will not be held by someone who has just joined the party.

The group represented. Within large units, this is allocated according to departments and subordinate units. Generally speaking, leaders will balance the quotas in each unit and will not concentrate all quotas on a certain department or subordinate unit.

How are the candidates generated? Most are also selected from the best and come from those with potential. From this point of view, there is no need to be discouraged when being a companion. Maybe if you don’t get the chance this time, you will get it next time. At least it means that you are not bad and you have caught the eye of the leader.

From the perspective of leadership art, when you ask subordinates to accompany you for selection, you must do some ideological work in advance. Judging from my own experience, a leader is worthy of being a leader, and his speech must be artistic, which not only makes subordinates irrefutable, but also establishes a "good leader" personality.

First, he didn’t guarantee that I would definitely be selected. If I were to blame, I would blame myself for taking it too seriously. Second, what the leader meant was that such “good things” happened to me, and most of them should be attributed to the leader. He took my best interests into consideration, which showed that a leader cares about his "hard-working" subordinates.

Oh my, my boss is thinking about me. Now that I’ve got it, what else can I say?

I can only say that the organization has organized rules. If you are not qualified, you should continue to work hard. In addition, of course, you cannot let down the leader, so work hard!
