Make good use of the skills of "thinking ahead" to make you work better!

There is a famous saying in The Doctrine of the Mean: everything is established in advance, and it is abolished if it is not predicted.

I once read such a story:

When Yan Zhenqing was a plain magistrate in the Tang Dynasty, he saw signs of rebellion in An Lushan, so he used the rainy season as an excuse to build city walls, secretly recruit soldiers, store rice, and ensure the warehouse in Man Cang.

An Lushan thinks that Yan Zhenqing is a scholar, so he is not an enemy.

Soon, An Lushan rose up and Hedong was defeated and fled.

Yan Zhenqing led the armored soldiers to guard the Yellow River ferry, which had been prepared for a rainy day, so Pingyuan County was not breached.

Therefore, if you are prepared, planned and determined to do anything in advance, there will be no mistakes and no regrets.

In our work, there are many cases that lead to results because we didn't think of it beforehand: either the donkey won't walk or the donkey won't grind.

It's really a headache

Zhang Xiaowen, an MBA student from Renmin University of China who once worked in a large education group and won the title of "Gold Assistant", put forward in the book Notes on the Work of Old Secretaries that the solution to the problem is to solve the problem.

One of the skills to solve problems is to think ahead. You can be more calm and confident in the face of complex problems.

Next, let's talk about how smooth your work can be by using "think ahead"!

1, want to go ahead and improve work efficiency.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If you want to finish something, you should go ahead, not in a hurry.

You will find that the efficiency has been greatly improved.

A friend was temporarily called by the leader to go through the relevant formalities of equipment filing.

She said that when she received this task, someone told her that Sister Zhen had been running for half a year before, and now she is nothing.

Put this hot potato down, no one will run hard after a year, just sit and wait for the leader to pick it.

But after listening to this, this friend is really dealing with the task of Mount Tai. I spent almost half a month studying the contents of the document, during which I consulted the other party by phone and submitted the prepared materials one month later.

Of course, she knew that it would definitely not succeed, because some of them really didn't know.

When we arrive at the scene, let's provide this and that. When she met some inappropriate submissions, she asked on the spot, has the document been updated? The document I received didn't say to apply for this one, but it is necessary to apply for another one.

The staff was shocked. She read it carefully and said, so far, only you have taken out this document.

After understanding the matter, I continued to come back to sort it out. It took more than five months from accepting the task to submitting the document to the leader.

Soon, the leaders will tell her what important work they have. For this friend, her work ability has been fully affirmed by the leader, which is a great blessing for her.

She said that although it seems a waste of time to study the previous documents and related materials carefully, her mind has been divided into three areas: needed, unnecessary and temporarily unnecessary. When you work, you can find relevant information in time, and your work efficiency will be greatly improved.

2, want to be in the front, and the leadership thought * * * frequency.

It is generally believed that doing your job well is an excellent employee.

Therefore, I am diligent and conscientious, but the leaders are always dissatisfied, and there is no less work to do, but it seems that I have never put it in the hearts of leaders. What's the problem?

For leaders, doing a good job is just worthy of this salary.

When you start to create added value, exceeding the expectations of leaders, leaders will look at you with new eyes.

Hao Jie can be said to be the leader's right-hand man in the unit. Not only emotional intelligence is recognized by the leaders, but the most important thing is that you can find what the leaders need immediately through a word from the leaders.

At an exchange meeting, the leader prepared to speak temporarily, so it was too late to use the courseware. The leader told the participants that time is precious, and we strive to make everyone gain something in a limited time, so we will share the courseware with you next time.

In the three or two minutes of the leader's speech, Hao Jie has found the required courseware, videos and common video collections on WeChat.

When the leader wants to play a special promotional film temporarily, he can open it at any time and project it on the big screen; Less than 30 seconds after the handover, not only the leaders at the meeting gave thumbs up, but also the participants applauded.

In this improvisation, Hao Jie did not let the leader off the chain, but reached the same frequency with the leader, and knew his thoughts with a gesture.

Because of Hao Jie's outstanding performance, leaders usually look for him when attending meetings. Of course, all kinds of problems encountered in the unit are solved by colleagues in a friendly way. Hao Jie said: To be a leader's right-hand man, you must be ahead and reach the same frequency as the leader.

Began to exceed his expectations, let the leaders shine from time to time, even if they can't get promoted and raised immediately, they can win more authority and opportunities for themselves and take charge of more and more important work.

3, to go ahead, improve the ability to deal with accidents.

Many people like to act spontaneously, always casually saying: if you think so much, it's over!

In fact, the meaning of this sentence is to persuade people not to be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, but some people take this sentence as an excuse for not thinking.

After starting blindly, I found it was either wrong or unexpected, and finally I didn't forget to complain: what bad luck I have! God is really unfair. Everything goes well with others, but I don't! Is there you?

A friend is a graphic designer, from receiving the design to letting the customer accept the finished product, that is, understanding the customer's intention, designing the sample draft, finalizing the first draft, modifying, finalizing, sending it to the factory (printing and drawing), installing and checking by the customer.

Every working procedure is indispensable, and there are special staff to dock. Generally, everyone is responsible for his own work.

Design is just design, drawing is just drawing, and installation is just installation. Customers can directly find the supervisor to solve any problems.

Nannan is different. She always asks, where is the device? Indoor or outdoor? Is it a busy place or on both sides of the road? What colors are all around? etc ......

Some colleagues will say that Nan Nan robbed the installation work and the supervisor's work, so be careful that the supervisor will give you a hard time.

Nan Nan, who thought a few more steps, said that when an installer put up a large movable curtain, the shelf was 30 cm smaller than the actual (up, down, left and right), indicating that the picture was cut, and it was easy to cut the pattern and had to be redone.

Nannan and the installer said they could cut it. At that time, designs within the range of up, down, left and right 1 meter could be cut, which did not involve the theme.

In this way, there is no need to spray drawings, which increases the time of installers. Finally, the activity was successfully completed.

In fact, the director didn't know about this episode, but the partner called and said, I'm really sorry. The actual shelf is different from the original. You have one more. I have it here and you can charge it directly to the account.

In this way, Nan Nan won the trust of the supervisor and all the important work was handed over to Nan Nan.

Nan Nan said: If you think a few more steps, you can easily handle the accident.

Think more, not only for work, but also for life.

Step 4 write it at the end

Zeng Guofan once said: those who get it without depth are easy to lose.

Before you do something, you should think carefully, consider the relevant interests and gains and losses clearly, think about possible problems in advance, and make a good plan, so that it will be easier to achieve your goals and not be so' unsatisfactory' when you act.

Of course, the solution to the problem is not just in front of others. If you want to learn more work skills, take a look at the old secretary's work notes, which not only explain the working methods, but also guide you to build a systematic knowledge system. Let you have the support of knowledge system and be more calm and confident when facing complex problems.

At the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, make good use of this skill to make your work this year less detours and more powerful!

The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and birds fly! Use it quickly.
