We all have a boss who loves drawing cakes.

0 1.

A few years ago, my colleague Lao Xu went through a lot of hardships and finally completed the resignation procedure. Everyone says that big companies are good, but it is ok for leaders and departments to sign off when they leave their jobs. Lao Xu had a little backup, and his immediate superior got stuck and didn't sign it, which was considered as the end of the business.

Speaking of Lao Xu, he is not old. He is in his early thirties, and everyone loves to call him Lao Xu, because of his mature face, and he occasionally likes to talk about the so-called sermon.

Lao Xu is a high-quality stock with a postgraduate degree and a recognized high IQ, and his working ability is beyond doubt. By last year, he had just been in the business for six years, but he chose to leave, not because he had a better job, nor because he hated his present job, but because he was tired of wasting his time without a future.

When he first joined the company, Lao Xu Zhenger started from the front line. After two years of good performance, he was transferred to the core department of the unit. Although he is still the department manager, his level has improved, and the new leader looks complacent. On his first day in office, he interviewed Lao Xu alone. Zhi Ming will lead the department to a new level, and he also said that he is a person who puts his subordinates in the highest position in his heart.

Lao Xu said that he liked this pioneering boss best, so sincere Lao Xu continued to work hard and demand himself in the new environment. A year later, he became a top professional in the new department. Year after year, a dazzling old Xu stayed in this department for four years.

The professional level has risen, but the rank is not long. I am still a small manager, and my salary is still similar to that of a newcomer. On the other hand, many of the same batch are above the average level and far behind.

Come so long, Lao Xu has thoroughly found out the temper of his immediate boss. He has all kinds of grand plans, and from time to time he moves out at regular meetings to serve as chicken soup for the masses. But as we all know, their leaders are just talking, if you really lose.

And Lao Xu is one of the victims of this bowl of poisoned chicken soup.

He will often remind Lao Xu that he is very concerned about his promotion and salary. With his outstanding ability and outstanding performance, it's only a matter of time before he gets promoted, and sometimes he hints that he has recommended it to his boss or human resources department many times.

Who believes it? At first, Lao Xu believed it, but after a long time, Lao Xu felt naive. It's just a routine for leaders to send employees away.

Finally, as mentioned at the beginning, Lao Xu left this department with little potential to find another job.

Cake, but every leader can draw, and is good at drawing, because it is a management way to motivate employees to win people's hearts, but whether they can eat it after painting is another matter, and the skills of drawing cakes are also divided into three points, five points and nine points.

First, for leaders, it is just a means to appease employees. Drawing cakes makes you addicted to your eyes, and you can't see that he means to let you eat cakes;

Second, leaders know that employees are watching actions and their mouths are only for a moment. So, if you draw a cake, at least in action, he will let you see that you are approaching the cake;

Third, really think about the employee, draw a cake, and he will try his best to let the employee eat the cake, or open the way to the cake, instead of setting obstacles in turn.

And Lao Xu's boss belongs to the kind of cake painting that makes him addicted to eyes. The so-called "horse power for a long time" can neither motivate employees nor keep people.

Let's take a look at another leader who is good at drawing cakes.

A year and a half after I joined the company, a new leader was transferred from the top to take charge of us. And I belong to the category of being left to suffer in various chores in the department.

Starting from the basics is the only way for every newcomer in the workplace, but many people have not been promoted or have no access to their core business for many years.

This is not the way I want to go, but I can't change it in the past two years, because the leader unconsciously wants to change your work content and has no time for you to learn the core business.

The new leader is ambitious. As soon as he took office, he showed his vision for the department and the cultivation of talents. He hopes that everyone can become a professional, instead of being replaced at any time. He also listed a set of training ideas.

But in our eyes, it's just that the new official has three fires. We have to come up with something to fool people.

However, not every leader is satisfied with leaving the picture cake at the ideological level.

Our new leader began to adjust the division of labor and reposition personnel. If you take the management series, it will create opportunities for employees to participate in management. If you take the professional series, he will arrange some projects in a planned way for us to participate in the exercise.

After synthesizing my various conditions and abilities, the leaders feel that there is no room for actual growth in doing these trivial things. Under the adjustment of his division of labor, the comprehensive affairs were greatly reduced, but he began to intervene in the core content of the department with a goal.

In this process, although we haven't eaten the cake yet, it makes us feel that it is not impossible to work hard in the present direction. Draw a cake, tell you the route to the cake, and see if we can go well.

Drawing cakes is something that every leader can easily do, and it always works. This is the embodiment of leadership, and it really caters to the psychological needs of subordinates.

But not every leader can draw a round and regular cake, and we don't need a cake that only exists in fantasy.

Leaders should learn to draw cakes with their fingertips, and employees should know whether they are sincere or deceptive.
