I have worked so hard, why is the boss still not satisfied?

This sentence has been heard several times in the workplace recently. As a party, I can't understand the job requirements of my superiors. I think I have worked hard, and I am diligent in my work. I also feel that I have done a job that I am dissatisfied with my supervisor, but the supervisor still doesn't recognize it, so I feel very confused.

In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by the differences in self-awareness of the parties, except for extreme cases such as individual supervisors bossing around, nitpicking and demanding subordinates.

This problem usually happens to the old employees of enterprises. In the past, they followed the boss's path and made great achievements. But things have changed, I can't keep up with my boss, and I gradually feel marginalized. It's not that I don't work hard, but I can't get the approval from my superiors, and I'm at a loss and depressed.

There are still some practitioners who may be in the transition period. Because of their excellent work performance before, they were given a heavy responsibility, and they had no reason not to work hard. They also want to do things well from the heart. However, due to the role change, although I want to do things well, the method is not appropriate, and the result is often counterproductive and can't meet the requirements of my superiors. Under constant pressure, they are unhappy because they can't get the approval of their superiors.

In the workplace, there are many factors that affect the success of one thing. I summed it up, mainly including the following points: cognitive gap, working methods and efforts.

By comparing the above phenomena, we find that two important factors have been neglected: before we can reach a * * understanding of "what is good" and "what is complete" with our superiors, it is difficult to ensure that things are really done well and recognized by our superiors by relying on our past work experience and our own goals.

Let's talk about the degree of effort first. The problem is-

Does it matter how hard you work? Of course it matters!

If you don't work hard and are lazy, you may not simply accuse and criticize, but leave the organization long ago. As a practitioner, hard work and diligence are the most basic conditions, but they are by no means a shield for poor performance and poor work!

It is often said that I have worked hard in the company for so many years without credit!

There used to be a senior employee who complained to his boss and said this. As it happens, a gardener is watering the flowers and trees. The boss pointed to the flower tree and said, do you think the gardener is hard? Water the flowers every day, and the flowers and trees grow so luxuriantly. But if one day the gardener stops watering, these flowers and trees will die in a few days. Did the gardener work hard? Water the soil hard every day. Once you stop working one day, your past efforts will be minimal.

What is hard work? Efforts are continuous efforts and efforts day after day. As long as you slack off, it will be gone.

And many old birds in the workplace have made great contributions to the company in the past, but in the process of the company's booming career, their abilities and patterns have failed to keep pace with the times, grow up with entrepreneurs, and still lie on the credit book of the past, thinking about how hard I worked, how much I suffered and how much I did. Even if this matter is not done well, how can the company manage it?

In this state of mind, there is a growing cognitive gap with the top management without making progress, seeking methods, finding gaps or making breakthroughs. If the dissatisfaction of the superiors is regarded as disapproval of themselves, contradictions will arise.

As we all know, with the development of the company, the past successful experience may not be effective now, not to mention the increasingly fierce competition in the industry, which has long been a red sea in its familiar field. Enterprises have no choice but to break through, innovate and cultivate differentiated competitive advantages.

It is already very difficult and difficult for cadres to win step by step by relying on enthusiasm and past experience if they cannot improve their own pattern and ability.

Hard work is very important, but we need to improve our cognitive ability and working methods on this basis!

First of all, we should reach an understanding with the superior on the standard of work objectives. Many times, what you think of as "finished" and "finished" are just barely passed or even failed in the eyes of superiors.

There is a saying that the past does not represent the present, and the present does not represent the future. Working standards are also advancing with the times and improving day by day.

In this era, it is not that you have not made progress, but that your progress is slower than your opponent's, so you are behind the times. Only by accelerating the pace of adjustment can we be one step ahead.

How to adjust the cognitive gap between self and superior supervisor is the primary problem to gain the approval of superior. The smaller the gap, the closer your cognition is to the superior supervisor. How to improve cognitive ability?

On the one hand, we can learn professional knowledge, improve our understanding and understanding of various tasks and cultivate a global view by reflecting on our own work and combining the requirements of our work with the changes of internal and external environment; In addition, for the work we are used to, we might as well try to do it in another way to see if we can do it better and more effectively, and we can no longer be satisfied with the past practice.

Another way to cultivate cognitive ability is to learn to put yourself in the boss's shoes. What would you do? What will the boss's requirements be? If I am the boss, what problems should I pay attention to?

There may be no way to start at first, and I don't know what the boss will think. Then step back and think about it. What does the boss want from the cadres recently? What are the requirements of each work? Who was praised for what? Who else has been criticized for what? What behavior does the boss disapprove of?

If you pay more attention to these issues, attend more meetings, or learn about various documents and articles about corporate culture issued by the company, people who are slow to respond will sort out a few. As long as you start from here and work hard, your chances of being affirmed will be high!

Another way is to ask others to help you find the problem. As the saying goes, the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear. Indeed, when we stay in the working environment for a long time, we often form a kind of thinking inertia and often fall into the misunderstanding of cognition and thinking. Ask your customers often, or help you find problems before and after work, and you will often find unexpected things.

I found the problem, but-

What is a working method? In fact, the popular understanding is whether you can solve problems. When encountering problems, how to deal with them, how to communicate with them and how to implement them, the ability of cadres is now revealed.

Some people may think that you will always find fault with my work anyway, so I will ask for more instructions and report more in the future. Is it okay to ask you first, big or small? After asking for instructions, write down word by word and do it. Will the boss be satisfied?

Here, no matter whether the boss who is at the top of the enterprise and has heavy work can have time to give you advice. For you, this is still a passive avoidance. You just left the problem to the boss, let the boss help you think, let the boss help you solve the problem, and you didn't make progress in the process.

If one day the boss wakes up and says, "Is this your business or mine?" You'll be in trouble-because you can only do everything by asking the boss, and you'll only throw the questions at the boss. What does the boss want you to do? Won't he do it? Won't he find someone else to do it? Are you working for the boss? Or does the boss work for you?

The problems encountered at work need you to solve for the boss!

The reason why enterprises employ such people, although their majors are different and their experiences are different, is nothing more than letting talents share their worries for enterprises and solve large and small problems.

People's ability depends on how big a problem you can solve: people with strong ability solve big problems, people with weak ability solve small problems, or even can't solve them.

To cultivate the ability to solve problems, we must improve our thinking ability. Don't rush to ask for instructions when you encounter problems, think with your own professionalism first-

How to solve this problem?

There are several solutions to this problem.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each scheme?

What are the priorities of these plans?

Which scheme can cure the symptoms and solve the current problems;

Which scheme can cure the root cause and solve the fundamental problem;

Which scheme has the lowest cost? Which scheme works best?

Considering the factors such as efficiency and cost, temporary solution and permanent solution, short-term and long-term, maintenance and breakthrough, the scheme we finally come up with must be the best one at present.

Instead of throwing the problem to the superior, it is better to stand at his height and help him solve the problem. What the boss does for you, it's best to choose multiple-choice questions and choose the executable scheme from several feasible schemes; Instead of filling in the blanks, let the boss help you think about the ideas and methods to solve them; (it is not a judgment question. You should make your own decision based on your professional knowledge and practical understanding. )

If you think so much, the cognitive distance between you and your boss will be narrowed.

That's the truth.

What are the skills in working methods? Maybe next time.

I am sexy, and I am willing to discuss all kinds of problems in the workplace with you, and help each other and win-win in communication! )
